lol yes. if we want to argue losing cody that would be a more fair argument but cutting marko and janella is what ppl wanted on d1 that didnt watch this show anyways lol.
I was watching, but barely and I was one of them lol

A lot of these guys can charge more for indie shots now that they’ve been on television but let’s be honest, this is probably it for a lot of them when it comes to mainstream wrestling

Janella for example I think said he's now charging like close 10x what he was prior to aew so ya, with the indies now back open, these people are getting paid simply for being known commodities now. thats worth a lot to indie shows because having a name on your card ppl know can make the difference between 100 and 1000 showing up

def. She's gotten a lot better and still booked though, don't think she's getting cut. I do think though some of that hate came from some other places than just aew hate if you get my drift

Definitely.

Personally I don’t think a guy like Joey Janela or Marko Stunt headlining an indie event would make me more eager to buy a ticket but I’m sure they have their share of fans.

So independent bookers are gonna do their best to get them

Stunt I think is going to be a hard sell a lot of places, no offence to the guy. Janella at least has a niche

Because yeah I guess the issue with Stunt is once you've seen all your big dudes toss him its kind of diminishing returns pretty quick

Janela is making a killing with GCW alone rn but I wouldn't exactly consider that a long term plan bc as I always say they fly dangerously close to the sun lol Marko should probably try and get that singing career going tbh he has the voice of an angel

I can't think of anyone else not even having Dark bookings besides Joey/Marko except Cage but part of that was an injury and we also already know he was oddly extended. As far as the May expirations, I think just about anyone that was signed to a contract for the first Double or Nothing would be up, some may have already extended tho idk but guys like SCU, Jurassic Express, possibly would gave to be resigned rn unless they were on the longer deal like MJF

Just need to look at people on the roster who have not been used this year.

Hell there's some people on the roster who haven't been seen on TV in almost a year.

SCU would make sense. Sky seems to be safe but Kaz might be someone to look out for. Don’t know his situation. If he is in that boat, I could see him going back to Impact for a spell
