Because nobody wants to be a part of this company because it’s a shit show there’s no communication as many wrestlers have stated and they’re not being booked they’re basically to stay at home while they sign wwe guys
@@ChewyNuggetZAll of those guys haven’t wrestled in AEW for over a month. Omega barely even appeared before he was sick and MJF was the AEW world champion. Unlike in WWE your main champion actually appears at every show.
As I understand it, Flair's paying them. The whole thing's just an ad for his energy drink. Which he clearly wasn't smart enough to ask AEW wrestlers to drink on camera. Or it's just such heinous ass that none of them will touch it.
Tony: I didn’t want to spend an extra $800 to fly The Boys out from a different airport. Also Tony: Look!I just spent a wrestler’s salary for one year on a song!
IDK................I and many others have never seen the appeal of Danhausen. He is not great on the mic, not really good in the ring.............I just don't see it.
@@dariusthegreat3097I get from where u are coming from, and its coz AEW fails to present him. Danhausen is more of a character then a wrestler. He is an in built merch machine if used right. He is supposed to be used like a comedic babyface in small segments or special matches like Royal Rumble where he can wrestle less. He will be will appeal to kids, he can easily be used as a punching bag for heels to get them over. He is someone that doesn't need storylines or matches, he only needs small segments for comedic relief.
He sold merch, even outselling plenty of folks they tried to push as “stars” (Yuta and Daniel Garcia come to mind) When you have people who can make you money in the company I don’t get not giving them more exposure.
I think Tony Khan just kinda lost his mind. Clearly Cody Rhodes was doing a whole lot more good for the company than we thought. AEW is very far from what it started out as, it became the new land of opportunity where everyone was getting a chance to shine but stories were also feeling new and consistent and fresh. It truly is sad to see what it has become in the past couple years
makes sense when Cody leaving coniceded with the decline in the quality of the show, something felt off about how the show was being produced, only really good thing was Punk and mjf story which was being handle by Punk
The Boys firing sounds like what a DrillSgt. did to a problem recruit when I was in basic. We all got the message. Now whether Tony Khan was trying to send that message or not, I guarantee you, the locker room got the message.
They hired Danhausen during the pandemic while he had an injury and when RoH was about to go defunct. It seemed quite a lot like a favor because of how popular and loved Danhausen was at the time in hopes that at the very least he could move some merch. When he was finally cleared, they did a few minor angles with him and Best Friends/Chaos, but his appeal was far more suited to RoH than AEW. I don't watch the RoH product, so I'm not sure if/how he was used there, but I almost wonder if it would have been better for everyone involved had Tony just waited to sign Danhausen to a new RoH contract rather than signing him to AEW.
They didn't use Danhausen when Punk was there, they didn't use Danhausen when he was 100% healthy, they aren't using Danhausen now. Wait, I just described 70% of the roster!
I am pretty sure Hook has seen how over guys like Dominik Mysterio (who he is often compared to) and Lexis King (AEW alumni, the former Brian Pillman Jr) have gotten, and is probably wondering why that has not applied to him. Don't get me wrong, in terms of wrestling ability, Hook is better than Dirty Dom, but the question is his character, specifically why should fans get behind or oppose him? Dirty Dom has established himself as a natural heel after breaking ties with his father, and Lexis King is a modern take on his father's "Loose Cannon" character (which still works today). Hook does not have that beyond being the son of Taz. This is where AEW's lack of developmental is glaringly obvious, and wrestlers are more or less rehashing their old characters from WWE, TNA, or the indies. You can say MJF is a testament to AEW's originality, but I say MJF was already a "finished product" based on his NXT audition tape. Plus, we have not exactly seen any young talents in the pipeline, and all Khan has ever done is to double down on free agent signings. While Hook has been getting a push lately, he risks still being lost in the shuffle cause of the above-mentioned reasons. If AEW really wants to retain Hook, the solution is simple: give him a character trait to care about, something we can see rather than be told about it.
@@danbruno7303 I mean, John Cena proved exactly that. He ain't a wrestling technician like Kurt Angle or Bret Hart, but he makes it up with his charisma and general likeability (barring a few incidents, Cena is sincere about entertaining his audience). Sometimes, that's really all you need. Part of pro wrestling's appeal is to see characters (or gimmicks), why we cheer or despise them, and to see whether the babyfaces overcome the odds or how the heels get their comeuppances.
The biggest mistake AEW has made has been having no developmental system. They don’t create, they simply take. Even WCW had The Power Plant. They had DDP, Harlem Heat, they created Goldberg. What does AEW have that they actually created rather than imported? Honestly, when Khan bought ROH, I thought he was gonna turn it into his own version of NXT and use it as a new sort of developmental with built in name recognition. Now it just sort of…exists.
I have to agree...hook would really benefit from some serious time in a truly structured developmental program....he can't cut a decent promo and for this era he needs a fuller move set....hook has potential but he's got to get in the right system if he wants to get to the next level and beyond
@@danielwisniewski6962 That right there is also the reason why Rey Mysterio spurned them and resigned with WWE. I really mean it when AEW wanted to pull all the stocks to get Mysterio to come to Jacksonville, but Rey was more concerned with his son's development, since that was around the time Dominik decided to become a wrestler. I think Rey already saw the writing on the wall, and keep in mind, when AEW tried to lure him over, they were literally entering their honeymoon phase. Even now, the lack of self-grown talent is pretty obvious. Besides MJF, who else is there that are on par with him? Jack Perry, who is more known for the controversy between him and CM Punk? Darby Allin, who makes me sweat in fear any time he attempts some death defying stunts? Don't you dare say Adam Cole or Swerve Strickland, they were NXT products that AEW was lucky to swoop up without the need to train them.
I think for WWE Hook and The Boys would be very welcoming addition for the NXT roster especially rn with the Draft coming by the end of the month and with many of the top NXT performers seem to already be preparing for the main roster call up it would be interesting if NXT where apart of the draft and use it to announce & sign real life Free Agents. Plus Matt rejoining WWE would be cool especially now with R-Truth expected to be more active in-ring Matt could help provide in the entertainment of backstage areas.
Danhausen is a perfect fit for WWE because WWE had nobody to replace The Hurricane as a joker/lowcard tier wrestlers, but Hook he pretty much ended up in NXT for long time if he force himself to WWE
Hook’s been built all of sudden up because they know he wants out . These guys who’s contracts are coming up , that Tony realizes he can’t lose, suddenly get attention. Tony don’t want him becoming a star in wwe
Right? They already didn't give him much to do before Punk left, but after Punk left we never really saw him again either. The only EVP who ever buried his grudge against Punk is Kenny. The Bucks are still salty, or else they wouldn't have aired the Wembley footage for no reason like the beef between them was still going. And with TK being as incapable as he is on top of that, I guess it's safe to say we all know why Danhausen was given even less to do after Punk left. It's written all over the walls. AEW's locker room politics are a damn joke at this point.
Tony Kahn signing Adam Copeland and NOT running that classic tag feud back is ridiculous. Copeland's whole AEW run so far has been fairly "meh". He should've debuted by saving Christian. Then they go on a tag run, win the tag titles and defend them against teams like established teams like FTR (who are close friends of theirs), The Young Bucks, upcoming teams like Top Flight and Private Party, and a Legacy team like The Hardy's, and even call in popular established teams like Motor City Machine Guns. Do the singles feud later, after fans have gotten their fill of nostalgia from it. Personally, I'd have Copeland say that this is his last ride and that once they drop the titles, he's done (but that whoever takes them from him will have to kill him), then have Christian take the pinfall and Adam turns on Christian, saying Christian just wanted him out of the picture so that he could take all the glory for himself. THEN you do the singles feud, which would end with Adam's retirement match, if he is choosing to retire after this run. Danhausen was never even given the OPPORTUNITY to get over. Danhausen got over because of his promos and his banter with The Gunns...which AEW didn't even touch. They very rarely ever gave him mic time. Hook wanting to leave doesn't surprise me at all. He's been wrestling for AEW for over 3 years and has had less than 60 matches. You can't learn like that, especially when 90% of your opponents are Jobbers and 95% of your matches are squash matches.
It’s literally what punk said for the boys there’s literally no communication and they even agreed after reading all that the communication sounds like it sucks I really hope Dan goes to wwe same for Hook they deserve better man Can we get a full video on the Dan Housen situation?
Here’s a video idea. “Why Has AEW Battle of the Belts Sucked?” Like why is BOTB just lackluster, a poor man’s Saturday Night’s Main Event? Why has there been no title changes since Sammy Guevara won the TNT title from Scorpio Sky? Why is there matches with guys who don’t deserve those title shots? Why hasn’t the world title been defended on there? The recent one didn’t have a single AEW title defended (I didn’t even know there was a new BOTB) in the show. You had the ROH Women’s world title, the lousy FTW title (why is that still being used?), and an eliminator match with the AEW international champ (wasn’t a title match. Just a match where the non-champ gets a shot if he won).
Danhausen has a massive built in fan base. I watched him in the real RoH before Tony bought it. He's actually a good wrestler. If Danhausen leaves AEW I think the WWE will sign him. They love comedy wrestlers. He would fit right in with R Truth.
The faster Hook hits the Power Plant. The faster he can debut on NXT and be working on the main roster. No reason to waste time on the indies when you don't have too.
Danhausen said he wanted to wrestle more than just be a character. Which is what he’s been doing in GCW, most AEW talent are allowed to wrestle elsewhere, which is what I guess he’s doing until they have a use for him? Considering the injuries he’s had lately it would make sense to get him some in ring time again
Swerve is about to win the world championship and nobody is going to care because Tony is making the company feel like a joke. Tony is a great matchmaker, but he books his show like an EWR simulator.
Part of the problem is there are only so many wrestlers you can feature or give air time to at any given time. Its great to have a bunch of talent on your roster but if you dont have the time to feature them all it is a no win situation. The wrestlers and the fans get frustrated.
@@mringram it's funny you say toxic fans because this is reminding me of when WWE fans use to HATE on TNA back in the day Both sides have toxic fans but WWE having a bigger and more core fanbase means there's going to be lots of people hating on any company not WWE, esp when the company is not living up to the hype. I've not been into wrestling for almost a decade but it seems to me that WWE fans love to hate AEW. AEW fans have their moments but WWE fans are legitimately nuts
I knew danhausen was done when he made a video Disliking what Davis was serving him I took that as "He isn't happy with the creative he's being fed" That was followed by a bunch of Indy dates I don't blame him but he did get a Action Figure or 2 out of the deal
Sad but true....Danhausen's figures were among the best Jazwares ever made and sold like hotcakes too. I guess that pissed off the Elite, whose distorted, cross-eyed figures still choke pegs as of this post.
Its so strange that tony khan doesnt just hire a booker.... like he cant book. We know this.. but even if he could like... Vince could at one point but he still had pat bruce corny etc etc helping him book.. Wcw wasnt even that stupid and hired bookers...
Danhausen is a big merch seller but can't get anything decent to do, Orange Cassidy is supposedly a big merch mover and is a multitumw champ, probably going to be made AEW champ at some point(with the marks chanting "you deserve it") - yep, that's Tony's booking alright 😂 He'll probably end up in TNA as a manager for PCO and be successful there. He had role but Tony doesn't get it - his AEW theme proved that to me, too over the top and big for what Danhausen should be.
I'm glad to see someone else who felt his AEW theme proved that they didn't get what made Danhausen work. Danhausen works the same way R. Truth works: everybody else has to think he's insane or weird. Danhausen cursing people and them acting cursed is not as funny as them losing because this they're puzzled by this weird guy is pointing at them, trying to put teeth down their throats. Danhausen is an absurd character and everyone around him has to act like he's absurd, for it to work. Giving him a song that plays into it misses the whole point.
i use to like tama and respect him for turning down WWE now hes on their nuts after the age of 40 hes not going anywhere, a guy that shits on wwe his whole life now became a slave to their system lol if wwe thought he was high tier commodity he would of been sign 10-15 years ago. Its fan that are like yourself that wrestling a joke well more of a joke. WWE pdiddy version with vince "around" but we all ignore that lol now they have ufc beaten down wwe overrated trashman punk on there who was kicked out of wwe 10,000 times lmao, but hey wwe awesome
@@user-rp8bi1ys2j if anything tama is a smart guy he waited for Vince to get out and now triple h is in charge and watch tama is going to be one of the best in wwe with this new bloodline story
One of the reasons is there's too many people on AEW's roster and not all of them gets used on TV or even have anything to do. Its just like WCW all over again back in the late 90's.
I think Dan Hausen could fit in NXT. His gimic would work there and he can be a staple while making decent money. I don't think he would fit the main roster, but Un NXT I'd envision him having potential to be a beloved character that eventually might win some titles such as a tag title or North American championship. Heck, down the road, maybe he'd get a short NXT Championship run. Kinda like a Mankind deal.
I think he would thrive in NXT actually, they lean in to the character aspect a lot. I know some people find some segments cringe because the acting is sometimes bad but it's still entertaining.
IMO the policy of never releasing anyone was never realistic to begin with and also some people just need to be released rather than just sitting at home collecting a paycheck
'"Green" is very polite expression. The guy doesnt listen to anyone except himself and the huge quantities of coke he consumes. He cannot make consequential story for more than 2 episodes in a row, uses the subverting the expectations tactics which is so god damn stupid especially in wrestling. He is on level of Smackdown vs Raw GM mode. Unless he doesn't hire a proper booker his company will continue to crumble.
Which is a bad thing. If you're even a wrestling fan its best that all companies do well. It brings out the best in whatever one you like to watch. Any promoter except Tony Khan would tell you that.
Hook to NXT. Judgement day should have Jd and dom go after the tag titles finn should intervene as the demon and R truth will summon his on devil and Danhausen should appear. Then go NXT
I could easily see Danhausen coming to WWE and being another R-Truth- like character and it worker so much better. Especially with the exposure WWE would be able to give him compared to AEW's terrible booking.
That happens in every company. Releases usually happen pretty quick and so those that get released never know for sure if or when. Additionally, although the fans wanna see it, The Hardy’s against E&C may not happen in AEW bc the stars involved may not want it out of WWE loyalty bc that matchup is sort of a WWE iconic mainstay. Finally, just bc DanHousen supports Punk bc they’re friends don’t mean he wants to leave AeW. That’s a reach.
The boys were down to being divas and demanding to fly out of a closest airport that would have been $1500 dollars more, they were told to do a 3 hour drive then flight but they refused - can't blame aew really
I don’t remember them doing anything with Danhausen. Like ever. Except for things in Rampage he was never seen. Which is a shame because he’s a likeable character
Danhausen is a talent to me but they have never used him right on TV. He's a Santino Marella type of comedy wrestler, but they've never used him like that in backstage segments, he's always just come to the ring as part of an entourage. He has potential to do good stuff in the back in WWE like how Hurricane did with Rock.
Luckily there's Callihan's Wrestling Revolver (only needing a bigger hall, since it's too small and always full). Sadly for AEW fans it's going there in a different direction, being styled and going the way old school ECW did (more or less).
Matt Hardy can be the broken character anywhere, but is to broken down to put on a decent match anymore... NXT trainer and helping develop new stars is right up his alley. Danhausen, also needs to keep his wrestling very limited or get some time training at NXT... WWE could make money with him if they wanted. I think R-Truth is all the comedy they really need. I know punk borrowed Danhausens boots after his foot injury and they are friends. He is already a fully developed character. I am sure they could use him somewhere, and the kids would for sure buy his merch. Hook... Young, good looking kid. Legit Judo player and 2nd generation wrestler. Yeah of course WWE would want him. I hate Dalton Castle and didnt care for the boys gimmick... but Young, athletic twins, WWE might be interested.
"While it does shock me that he may wanna leave AEW..." It doesn't shock me in the slighest. His boss basically embarrassed himself AND Hook on Twitter. Besides, with the way WWE is going *now,* younger talent like Hook and MJF are probably better off there than with AEW tbqh. But that's just my opinion.
I think money at the same time ain't the only thing these wrestlers want especialy when their in their 20s. They know aew is mid tier .not everyone just wants to use and sit do nothing
Ok bro but why are AEW wrestlers leaving?

Hookhausen was massively over. Fans loved him. Another ball dropped by TK.
I wonder if they didn’t start pushing Hook more BECAUSE they found out he was interested in other options.
Can't wait for WWE to treat Danhausen right. Let him and Punk do commentary or preshows together. Fuck it put them in a tag team
Honestly Danhausen would work in WWE. I can see em with R truth or Gable n Otis for a hilarious pairing. Or even imagine him with Lumis, or Gacy
unfortunately Lumis was released last time I heard

Danhausen not a hit? The guy is one of AEW's top 3 merch sellers and his youtube channel is popular. He's just given nothing to do.
but AEW fans don't care for that apparently its where the best wrestle 😂
Right? They already didn't give him much to do before Punk left, but after Punk left we never really saw him again either. The only EVP who ever buried his grudge against Punk is Kenny. The Bucks are still salty, or else they wouldn't have aired the Wembley footage for no reason like the beef between them was still going. And with TK being as incapable as he is on top of that, I guess it's safe to say we all know why Danhausen was given even less to do after Punk left. It's written all over the walls. AEW's locker room politics are a damn joke at this point.
4 entries/5 people! I'm genuinely shocked!

Tony Kahn signing Adam Copeland and NOT running that classic tag feud back is ridiculous. Copeland's whole AEW run so far has been fairly "meh". He should've debuted by saving Christian. Then they go on a tag run, win the tag titles and defend them against teams like established teams like FTR (who are close friends of theirs), The Young Bucks, upcoming teams like Top Flight and Private Party, and a Legacy team like The Hardy's, and even call in popular established teams like Motor City Machine Guns.
Do the singles feud later, after fans have gotten their fill of nostalgia from it. Personally, I'd have Copeland say that this is his last ride and that once they drop the titles, he's done (but that whoever takes them from him will have to kill him), then have Christian take the pinfall and Adam turns on Christian, saying Christian just wanted him out of the picture so that he could take all the glory for himself. THEN you do the singles feud, which would end with Adam's retirement match, if he is choosing to retire after this run.
Danhausen was never even given the OPPORTUNITY to get over. Danhausen got over because of his promos and his banter with The Gunns...which AEW didn't even touch. They very rarely ever gave him mic time.
Hook wanting to leave doesn't surprise me at all. He's been wrestling for AEW for over 3 years and has had less than 60 matches. You can't learn like that, especially when 90% of your opponents are Jobbers and 95% of your matches are squash matches.
It’s literally what punk said for the boys there’s literally no communication and they even agreed after reading all that the communication sounds like it sucks
I really hope Dan goes to wwe same for Hook they deserve better man
Can we get a full video on the Dan Housen situation?
Punk is old news
@@georgewashingmachine6240AEW certainly doesn't think so.
@@georgewashingmachine6240 how?? When AEW will literally not let his name go they’re so obsessed with him

@@billyxkid5062 AEW is old news
Here’s a video idea. “Why Has AEW Battle of the Belts Sucked?” Like why is BOTB just lackluster, a poor man’s Saturday Night’s Main Event? Why has there been no title changes since Sammy Guevara won the TNT title from Scorpio Sky? Why is there matches with guys who don’t deserve those title shots? Why hasn’t the world title been defended on there? The recent one didn’t have a single AEW title defended (I didn’t even know there was a new BOTB) in the show. You had the ROH Women’s world title, the lousy FTW title (why is that still being used?), and an eliminator match with the AEW international champ (wasn’t a title match. Just a match where the non-champ gets a shot if he won).
My DVR has Battle Of The Belts set into it, and it didn’t even record the last one. I wasn’t mad because I knew I likely didn’t miss much.
You know it's a problem if WWE stars leave for AEW and then come back to WWE.
Whats the problem?
Yep
@@georgewashingmachine6240It shows AEW is a shit show
@@georgewashingmachine6240the problem is the company they was avoiding they are going back to.
@@AllThingsInfamous1 the problem is I DONT GIVE A CRUD about your dorky opinion
Danhausen has a massive built in fan base. I watched him in the real RoH before Tony bought it. He's actually a good wrestler. If Danhausen leaves AEW I think the WWE will sign him. They love comedy wrestlers. He would fit right in with R Truth.
It's not hard. They either want the other environment or the pay is better which is what happens with any business.
This is such a bad take
FACTS.
@@georgewashingmachine6240how is wanting to be in a better work environment a bad take?
Hardys vs Copeland Christian sounds great on paper but in execution idk how excited I am... They're all pretty old and washed
A combined age of 195. No one wants or needs to see that match. They can simply log onto Peacock to catch it.
Copeland Christian vs the young bucks is the match tbh
Not washed just old
@@stefanfenwick Hardy’s are pretty washed
Edge and Christian are still putting on good matches. Hardy's are another story tho
As for Danhausen, they never had any idea what to do with him in AEW. All I can think is, man, Danhausen interacting with R. Truth would be hilarious.
The faster Hook hits the Power Plant. The faster he can debut on NXT and be working on the main roster. No reason to waste time on the indies when you don't have too.
Hate to break it to you brother but the power plant died with WCW. I'm gonna assume you meant the performance center ...........sorry to be that guy
I feel most people just don't like Tony Khan. Why they want out of both ROH and AEW.
Can you blame them? He does not command respect and literally rents friends.
Danhausen said he wanted to wrestle more than just be a character. Which is what he’s been doing in GCW, most AEW talent are allowed to wrestle elsewhere, which is what I guess he’s doing until they have a use for him? Considering the injuries he’s had lately it would make sense to get him some in ring time again
Swerve is about to win the world championship and nobody is going to care because Tony is making the company feel like a joke.
Tony is a great matchmaker, but he books his show like an EWR simulator.
Aew ain't been the same since Cody left
Part of the problem is there are only so many wrestlers you can feature or give air time to at any given time. Its great to have a bunch of talent on your roster but if you dont have the time to feature them all it is a no win situation. The wrestlers and the fans get frustrated.
CM Punk : He was a good person but not a boss.
Tony C Khan respond : Fired people. 😂
Been a wrestling fan for over 40 years and never in my life witnessed so much tribalism....
That's what happens when a billionaire's son creates a wrestling company that 100% based on hating the WWE.
@@Hedgehobbit its not the companies. It's mostly the toxic fans
@@mringram it's funny you say toxic fans because this is reminding me of when WWE fans use to HATE on TNA back in the day
Both sides have toxic fans but WWE having a bigger and more core fanbase means there's going to be lots of people hating on any company not WWE, esp when the company is not living up to the hype.
I've not been into wrestling for almost a decade but it seems to me that WWE fans love to hate AEW. AEW fans have their moments but WWE fans are legitimately nuts

Honestly if Danhausen & Hook go to NXT Man I need a tag title run with them
And i need a Danhausen & R-truth segment
The likes of Hook & Danhausen should think about joining either TNA, NJPW, or WWE at some point soon!!
Danhausen just wasnt given the time and push he deserved. He hasn't had a proper single run but hell they keep pushing Orange.
Did you notice the “singles ranked #2” (or however it was phrased)? I fear World Champ Pockets is in our future this year…
You mentioned not a single relevant wrestler. THAT’S the problem with AEW. The drama is more over than the talent
Nobody has ever wanted to work with AEW or Tony, they just knew it was the next best thing to WWE.
Cope.
I knew danhausen was done when he made a video Disliking what Davis was serving him
I took that as "He isn't happy with the creative he's being fed"
That was followed by a bunch of Indy dates
I don't blame him but he did get a Action Figure or 2 out of the deal
Sad but true....Danhausen's figures were among the best Jazwares ever made and sold like hotcakes too. I guess that pissed off the Elite, whose distorted, cross-eyed figures still choke pegs as of this post.
But does he have a book cover XD

How to Curse Colleages and Influence Others by Dan Hausen
I was wondering what is wrong with English people.they like Matt Hardy more than Jeff
Its so strange that tony khan doesnt just hire a booker.... like he cant book. We know this.. but even if he could like...
Vince could at one point but he still had pat bruce corny etc etc helping him book..
Wcw wasnt even that stupid and hired bookers...
Hey 2 guys on the internet in 2003 said he'd be a good booker. That is enough for tiny khan.
Danhausen is a big merch seller but can't get anything decent to do, Orange Cassidy is supposedly a big merch mover and is a multitumw champ, probably going to be made AEW champ at some point(with the marks chanting "you deserve it") - yep, that's Tony's booking alright 😂 He'll probably end up in TNA as a manager for PCO and be successful there. He had role but Tony doesn't get it - his AEW theme proved that to me, too over the top and big for what Danhausen should be.
I'm glad to see someone else who felt his AEW theme proved that they didn't get what made Danhausen work. Danhausen works the same way R. Truth works: everybody else has to think he's insane or weird. Danhausen cursing people and them acting cursed is not as funny as them losing because this they're puzzled by this weird guy is pointing at them, trying to put teeth down their throats. Danhausen is an absurd character and everyone around him has to act like he's absurd, for it to work. Giving him a song that plays into it misses the whole point.
As Tama Tonga said “AEW is a mid card company” I love it 😂🤝🏼
i use to like tama and respect him for turning down WWE now hes on their nuts after the age of 40 hes not going anywhere, a guy that shits on wwe his whole life now became a slave to their system lol if wwe thought he was high tier commodity he would of been sign 10-15 years ago. Its fan that are like yourself that wrestling a joke well more of a joke. WWE pdiddy version with vince "around" but we all ignore that lol now they have ufc beaten down wwe overrated trashman punk on there who was kicked out of wwe 10,000 times lmao, but hey wwe awesome
@@user-rp8bi1ys2j if anything tama is a smart guy he waited for Vince to get out and now triple h is in charge and watch tama is going to be one of the best in wwe with this new bloodline story
You should make a video about wrestlers that regret joining AEW
Actually nah that sounds lame. Only dorks would want to watch that
Could Danhausan work in WWE or TNA?
Danhausen can work on people's nerves.
Sure. There's always a place for comedy wrestlers on a show.
Does anyone know hook is TAZ son?
I honestly hope Hookhausen reunites in NXT and is booked so much better. Tag champs even!
One of the reasons is there's too many people on AEW's roster and not all of them gets used on TV or even have anything to do. Its just like WCW all over again back in the late 90's.
Danhausen would fit right in at WWE. I'd say give him an NXT run first, though.
FULL CREATIVE CONTROL..MY ASS.
NOW WE KNOW,
EVEN WITH 'FULL CREATIVE CONTROL' BY EACH WRESTLER..DONT GUARANTEE IT WILL PROVIDE A GOOD SHOW.
Danhausen could work if presented right and I'm not going to say NXT will be it, but I wouldn't be shocked if they took a chance on him. Maybe NWA.
I think Dan Hausen could fit in NXT. His gimic would work there and he can be a staple while making decent money. I don't think he would fit the main roster, but Un NXT I'd envision him having potential to be a beloved character that eventually might win some titles such as a tag title or North American championship. Heck, down the road, maybe he'd get a short NXT Championship run. Kinda like a Mankind deal.
I think he would thrive in NXT actually, they lean in to the character aspect a lot. I know some people find some segments cringe because the acting is sometimes bad but it's still entertaining.
remember when WWE was the shitshow and AEW was the greener pastures all the wrestlers wanted to go to?
yeh i remember
Aew was a shit show
Do not lose Ricky starks, hook, Darby, mjf, serve, Lucha bros, pac, Adam Cole, Britt, basically don’t lose your original cast
IMO the policy of never releasing anyone was never realistic to begin with and also some people just need to be released rather than just sitting at home collecting a paycheck
The panoramic was a crazy period in time.
"AEW is not a real business"
~CM Punk
Tony Khan is very "green" as a promotor/owner. I know that's obvious, I just haven't seen or heard it said.
'"Green" is very polite expression. The guy doesnt listen to anyone except himself and the huge quantities of coke he consumes. He cannot make consequential story for more than 2 episodes in a row, uses the subverting the expectations tactics which is so god damn stupid especially in wrestling. He is on level of Smackdown vs Raw GM mode. Unless he doesn't hire a proper booker his company will continue to crumble.
Danhausen not over with fans in AEW LOL yes he is. Have you watched?
Hope all is well with one and all 🙂
AEW always manages to make headlines but never for putting on a good product 😂
Whos that in your pfp?
Which is a bad thing. If you're even a wrestling fan its best that all companies do well. It brings out the best in whatever one you like to watch. Any promoter except Tony Khan would tell you that.

Hook to NXT.
Judgement day should have Jd and dom go after the tag titles finn should intervene as the demon and R truth will summon his on devil and Danhausen should appear. Then go NXT
what is the name of the music ? that he is using
Because the draw of being in AEW was no Vince. Now WWE is no Vince and better everything else.
Hook stands out in aew cuz he’s one of the only people who actually wrestle without 100 flips and no sells
Danhausen was accused of bootlegging merchandise and was suspended by AEW, I'm sure that didn't help him sour on AEW.
I could easily see Danhausen coming to WWE and being another R-Truth- like character and it worker so much better. Especially with the exposure WWE would be able to give him compared to AEW's terrible booking.
That happens in every company. Releases usually happen pretty quick and so those that get released never know for sure if or when. Additionally, although the fans wanna see it, The Hardy’s against E&C may not happen in AEW bc the stars involved may not want it out of WWE loyalty bc that matchup is sort of a WWE iconic mainstay. Finally, just bc DanHousen supports Punk bc they’re friends don’t mean he wants to leave AeW. That’s a reach.
3:35 PANARAMIC???
LOL
Imagine an NXT feud between Indus Sher and No Quarter Catch Crew. That's how you debut Hook on NXT, immediately in a storyline against Jinder Mahal
What is the panoramic?
Pandemic
"AEW Fans don't seem to like Danhausen" okay, thats all I need to know about this channel.
They USED to, now they spread rumors about him selling bootlegs to tank his career as payback for staying friends with Scary Chicago Man.
The boys were down to being divas and demanding to fly out of a closest airport that would have been $1500 dollars more, they were told to do a 3 hour drive then flight but they refused - can't blame aew really
The Boys story is the most childish thing I've ever heard. I've never seen adults so unaccountable for themselves.
Lmaoo "Oh God Hook get away" seriously though
I don’t remember them doing anything with Danhausen. Like ever. Except for things in Rampage he was never seen. Which is a shame because he’s a likeable character
Danhausen is a talent to me but they have never used him right on TV. He's a Santino Marella type of comedy wrestler, but they've never used him like that in backstage segments, he's always just come to the ring as part of an entourage. He has potential to do good stuff in the back in WWE like how Hurricane did with Rock.
Luckily there's Callihan's Wrestling Revolver (only needing a bigger hall, since it's too small and always full). Sadly for AEW fans it's going there in a different direction, being styled and going the way old school ECW did (more or less).
You're not alone. I always thought that Matt was better.
Matt Hardy can be the broken character anywhere, but is to broken down to put on a decent match anymore... NXT trainer and helping develop new stars is right up his alley.
Danhausen, also needs to keep his wrestling very limited or get some time training at NXT... WWE could make money with him if they wanted. I think R-Truth is all the comedy they really need. I know punk borrowed Danhausens boots after his foot injury and they are friends. He is already a fully developed character. I am sure they could use him somewhere, and the kids would for sure buy his merch.
Hook... Young, good looking kid. Legit Judo player and 2nd generation wrestler. Yeah of course WWE would want him.
I hate Dalton Castle and didnt care for the boys gimmick... but Young, athletic twins, WWE might be interested.
"While it does shock me that he may wanna leave AEW..."
It doesn't shock me in the slighest. His boss basically embarrassed himself AND Hook on Twitter. Besides, with the way WWE is going *now,* younger talent like Hook and MJF are probably better off there than with AEW tbqh.
But that's just my opinion.
I think money at the same time ain't the only thing these wrestlers want especialy when their in their 20s. They know aew is mid tier .not everyone just wants to use and sit do nothing
Imagine Matt comes back to help Bo run the Wyatt group along with Braun and Alexa.
