Sheamus contract up in 2024

[Cwalker]

Man is finally about to get his grand slam

Him and Gunther have had what…

2 high profile singles matches?

3rd times the charm

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

yeah unlike a lot of pro-wwe folks I don't do the super confident thing about things we a lot of variables. I made some pretty fair point about why I could see them not giving him the money or creative he is looking for, especially if they keep hiring new people. If you look at WWE in the past and UFC under Endeavor, contracts like Sheamus are ones that could be seen as expendable if they don't feel he's bringing in enough to command a raise. I am of the belief it's not going to be a free for all of spending on talent and I don't think WWE would be "afraid" of losing out on revenue if he walked. all that sounds harsh, and I am a big fan. however, you said it yourself: he's over 40 with injuries.

Ultimately I think the odds are higher he stays but I can see him testing the waters of free agency and can for sure see it turning into a potential Cesaro situation. I think people need to keep their minds a lot more open this coming years for free agency. it's inevitable there will be changes, 16 years in one place doesn't mean much when there was only one place to work for 10+ of that.

cool so I see you just want to be a child and not have an adult conversation. I don't know what your deal is with me today, but how about you take your trolling elsewhere

 

[Chris]

Says the AEW Guy

The fuck are you on today?

 

[Comrade Khan]

I should have known better to expect nuanced conversation though, my bad!

That’s perfectly fine.

I don’t think Endeavor is gonna be as involved as you think.

But I can see him kick the AEW tires. But I think it’s gonna be very similar to how Randy used them years to get a better deal. He’s got friends in the company. I don’t know how much he makes a year so I’m gonna make up numbers…

Bumping him from something like $2 million a year to $2.5 isn’t a big deal. Endeavor wouldn’t stress that; especially when you have new TV deals coming up

I can certainly see it going to Randy route as well, in fact I would be willing to bet he will see that as leverage and it remains to be seen how WWE react. And I guess Endeavors involvement will show soon enough so we probably won't wait too long into the year to find how renewals will go

 

[Cwalker]

And now that is really think about it…

If Sheamus did jump, he’s getting SO lost in the shuffle

bro respectfully how much do you actually watch other shows to proclaim this. AEW has a similar roster size and similar tv time than WWE, for example. he would also 100% be in line for a INT title or TNT title run. I don't think he would be in a lesser position than WWE. Lateral? Perhaps. Worse? No way

 

[Comrade Khan]

I personally think it will come down to money and pitched creative (coldest take ever I know)

More annoyed by you constantly just bashing one product going into all these topics that the E sucks I get that you don't like the product think AEW better which is great and fine. There's alot of things to like but, please don't act like you don't constantly shit on this stuff. I mean you started with a jab unlike you Pro wwe guys comment. Yeah sure I said I was shocked sarcastically but I'm not sure I have ever seen a instance of you not taking a shot at the E. FWIW I like both shows, and if this wasn't your intent then I'll own and say sorry

I didn't even trash WWE and a run a fucking podcast where I say plenty of nice things about it. Get a fucking clue

He might come in hot…

I’m thinking 6 months later.

Miro has been hot and cold. Wardlow has been a fucking mess. Thank God for Christian because Luchasauras would probably be lost too.

How many big guys have had this great long term sustained success?

He hasn't done this in months idk what you're talking about and if it bothers you that much put him on ignore bc everyone was debating fine even if they disagreed in this thread
