Cool that he re-signed with the company and he better pray that they start doing up note things with him ongoing forward.
He didn’t re-sign. They resigned him. There’s a difference. He didn’t have a say

Hasn't his whole thing supposedly been that he wouldn't keep people under contract who didn't wanna be there? The main things that came from their split was supposedly that Cody wanted to be paid more and they had different visions I think? Maybe it just looks better in a PR sense for them to not to come to terms on a new deal / amicably? part ways as opposed to picking his up his option and then him maybe requesting to be released?
Now TK has said he won’t “release” people this wouldn’t have been a release

By releasing people, I didn't mean it in the WWE term of cutting people before their deal expires but if a talent said to him they wanted out, he would "release" them from the deal.

That’s a release; same thing Ali wants

Why would you be fine not being on TV. Lol

Because plenty of people are? :lol you think Bo Dallas was complaining about the check he'd get in the mail at his farm the last 2 years of his career?

I'm not even saying he IS fine with it for one, I'm saying wait and see what the man says lol Ali is asking for his release. If Cage doesn't want this option picked up them he can ask for his. If Tony then says no, he's an asshole

What's better? Wrestling indies and Mexico while also receiving AEW money (but not being featured on AEW)....or wrestling indies and Mexico and only getting that money and wait for it....still not being featured on AEW.

But once again I'm not saying he's happy with the move, I'm just not understanding why it's so unfathomable that he MIGHT be

Am I really that biased nowadays for this Tony Khan guy bc I don't see how it's like Ali at all, he's out here tweeting edgy Batman memes in protest of the company from his couch bc they won't let him wrestle lmao
No it's not even close to being similar cause Cage hasn't asked to leave lmao. It really comes off as Cwalker wanting AEW to be as bad as WWE. Plus again as stated he can do his own stuff plus be paid by AEW.

This has reminded me that I'm still baffled why a Cody option wasn't picked up lol I'm thinking Tony really didn't want him to come back more and more
Cody might have been actually unhappy so Tony let him leave is my guess

The only thing he has is the look, he’s a snooze fest otherwise, I just don’t get the appeal.

Cage is talented but can never seem to get the sustainable push or something like look at the dude he's a freak of nature that said that push he did have seems to have gone to Wardlow

I agree, he's got some good moves. In ring he deserves to be in the big leagues. He just needs to work on character/personality. Give the kid a mouthpiece and he could go far
