Isn't that more of a getting fired or walking out of your deal type of thing? Doesn't seem like it would be for expiring contracts

WWE has a 90 day no compete clause when it comes to companies with national TV.

Thanks for the update buddy.

I don't particularly want him to come to WWE, but they have a great storyline all set up for the guy, TNA did all the work for them. Shame they won't use it.

Send him to New Japan. He'd be a much better fit and their Jr division needs it. Plus the payday is good. Machine Gun Karl Anderson makes 500+K a year for roughly two weeks work per month.

Damn, What a let down. Hype it for a while then do nothing, that sucks.
It was mainly Lionheart playing with the net, gathering interest for PCW and AJ going along with it since it fit his current angle.
PCW already had Vader booked so they still likely drew a full house.

Vader sounds sick, He is at BCW this weekend, might be helping at it.

You seem to forget his family: wife and three kids. He won't move to Japan, and is too far away to be separated from them.

Styles is a good negotiator IMO, and he will continue to stall with TNA until he gets his at least 90% of his wishes, as he knows atm the best place for him is still TNA (since NXT makes no sense and brings way way way smaller checks).

My guess AJ and TNA will patch things up somehow in the end.

Anderson has wife and kids. He lives in the states.
Matt Bloom has a wife and kid and lived in the states whilst working for NJPW.
Ricochet lives in the states and has a child.

They work for 2 weeks roughly with all living expenses covered (hotels and travel) for good pay.

AJ would hardly be the first family man to sign for a Japanese promotion if he did.
