Warhorse : No Real Contract?

Leave a comment

I never heard of Warhorse until he battled Cody Rhodes during the Pandemic Era for the TNT Championship. It was a good match. Hated how it ended. Warhorse tapped out to Rhodes and the Dark Order attacked them and then Matt Cardona came out and helped Rhodes out which led to some matches of them vs The Dark Order, but no Warhorse?

Especially during that time when a lot of wrestlers were staying home, I would’ve thought Warhorse would at least be there for a few more matches. I don’t know all the ins and outs of AEW contracts, but I remember Eddie Kingston had a similar match with Rhodes and got a contract right after. Fuego Del Sol somehow has an AEW contract and Warhorse doesn’t?

I admit my knowledge of Warhorse is limited to that one AEW match and some clips I saw on YouTube, but it looks like he can wrestle. He can sell, has a nice look, is unique, definitely someone who shouldn’t be overlooked so quickly. If not AEW then I’d like to see him head to Impact and see what happens. Warhorse vs Josh Alexander would be a fun match to watch. Maybe have him take on Eric Young, Christian Cage and Moose would all be great matches to watch.

So what do you guys think of Warhorse and what brand would you like to see him on?

The Death of Trent

Leave a comment

This episode of Rampage has once again proven that AEW has no idea what they are doing with their storylines or how to protect their wrestler’s reputation. The Best Friends and their companions have been fighting the Elite for weeks now. Adam Cole and Orange Cassidy ended their feud in dramatic fashion and I figured this was the ending to the Young Bucks and Trent and Rocky Romero storyline, but it looks like that storyline will continue with AEW’s new signing Jay White. Which I imagine in a few weeks we will get the Young Bucks teaming with Jay White vs The Best Friends.

Today will be the beginning of the end for Trent’s career because he will be going one on one with Jay White, a man who I consider a top 5 wrestler in the world. Obviously, the plan is for White to pick up his first win in AEW against Trent. Which means that Trent is now cannon fodder in AEW? Trent shouldn’t be the one used, it should be Romero. Romero doesn’t have much of a future in AEW. The best-case scenario for Romero is a tag team champion or be in some multi-man battle royal match. Trent at least has potential to be in a mid-card title picture. Maybe squeak out a win there, but not be a long-time champion. Still, Trent deserves better.

On the other side, what would happen to White if he loses his first match? It would kill any momentum in AEW. Many wrestling fans know White in YouTube videos and compilations. I doubt many people who watch AEW even know what channel NJPW is on.

White is going to be booked as a superstar in AEW. He’s not brand new to the industry like Hook. White is one of the most decorated wrestlers overseas, someone who can the face of any wrestling promotion in the world, someone who is not going to sign to one of the biggest wrestling companies in the world and lose to Trent.

Last week we watched Keith Lee in an extremely impressive debut match against Isiah Kassidy. And even though the match wasn’t a complete squash, unlike many of Hook’s matches, it still let the AEW fans know that Kassidy is nothing more than cannon fodder in this company. I doubt there were any plans for Kassidy to beat Kenny Omega at Double or Nothing for the AEW Championship, but still its good to not embarrass him in the eyes of the fans.

So what do you think of Jay White debuting and how far do you see him going in AEW?
