Ace Austin's Contract has Expired

[Ricky Smarks]

I’m kinda past shooting for ROH to do something much like Chris said the other day but like Ace Austin would be a great guy to bring in right now and make your like pillar of ring of honor.

MLP is definitely feeling more and more like 2021 to 2022 impact as the days pass so I can definitely see Austin winding up there for resurrection.

It's like the timeline split

 

[Ricky Smarks]

The fact Scott or new management just still refused to ever book him as a world champ is annoying as hell.

I do think if his contract situation wasn’t coming up this year they were finally gonna pull the trigger on him and looked like they were finally getting behind him a couple of months ago, but then he just kinda slid down out of nowhere.

Yeah I've lost all hope on roh. If they ever figure it out as development, cool. At this point just fucking fold it and rebrand it as aew developmental from Daily's place or smth idc

Let Danielson book it idk

Very similar to win all Japan pretty much all left to form Noah and then all Japan had to rebuild with a new roster.

Which if done right can wind up better for wrestling overall because if you can have impact wrestling reform as MLP and then TNA can actually do something to form a new brand. Then you have two shows instead of one born out of this, but TNA has to be able to build something new. But, they keep moving one step forward two steps back so I don’t know.

Yeh I'm just saying in fairness I feel Scott also missed the boat a few times . I think him instead of Swann for example would have been dope. Forever x divisioned.

Just relaunch AEW dark. Considering WB folded rampage and battle of the belts they shouldn’t be that opposed to them just creating a developmental again and putting it on YouTube or put it on max I don’t know.

The good thing is, if he goes to MLP, he can still show up in AEW sometimes as well.

Just like Alexander. That’ll change, though if he winds up doing more shows, but where he’s only doing one every two months it shouldn’t be an issue.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I was originally against AEW doing a brand split, but they have so many people on the roster now they kinda need it actually and the funny thing is it doesn’t have to be the same as WWE. You don’t have to do a dynamite and collision split when you have ring of honor right there, all you have to do is actually devote a permanent Roster. That’s only ring of honor and make people have to watch ring of honor if they want to see those talents but for some reason, Tony doesn’t wanna pull the trigger on it so like Jeff said just fold it at this point.

I think he hit his ceiling sadly and his partner may never wrestle again . Probably pretty painful

idk bout that, if anything as good as ABC was his stock was always very high. I mean both members could easily been top stars in TNA on their own them becoming a tag team joining bullet club #1 did help solidify TNA tag division and the chemistry they had def kept the partnership up longer then it probably should been. #2 you could very easy transition Ace Austin into the leader role of BC in NJPW if you wanted. I see it play out similar to when Marty came in except this time you see him flick the ace bc card from his finger to reveal himself as leader. He's still super young too, I would not be suprised if he gets a shit ton of offers.

Josh is an AEW talent doing the MLP shows. I don't think MLP doing more shows would really stop Ace from coming over on a part time basis, it would just be like any other talent they borrow from other partnerships.

exactly just use ROH like WWE does NXT.

If they do brand split in AEW and do that with ROH, I would send The Don Callis Family to ROH put the title on Josh Alexander and build it up right there with him fighting the likes of Dustin Rhodes, Eddie Kingston, Mark Briscoe, AR Fox, Jack Perry (i send him down for a little)
