"No More BS".

If Paul Wight's new AEW t-shirt is true, then he wasn't full of the proverbial when he claimed that his incoming mate was "Hall Of Fame worthy" and would be a "huge surprise and huge asset" to the company going forwards. Who could it be? Well, someone who lives up to the hype...hopefully.

Pro wrestling has a tendency to go hard on these moments and build them up so spectacularly that they can't hope to feel satisfying. Fingers crossed that isn't the case with Wight's promise. If someone like Carlito (no offence) strolls out and shakes hands with the former Big Show, then it'll be one colossal wet fart.

Realistically, Wight went far enough with his baiting that it must be someone the level of CM Punk, Christian or Batista. There's no way AEW can sidestep this level of hype by delivering Curtis Axel (again, no offence intended) to the masses.

Please, please, please be worthwhile.
