AEW Revolution

[Manatee]

I'm glad they elevated Scorpio Sky. It's just a shame they stuck him and half the guys on the roster who can work in this disaster.

Can a Page Cage faction be far away?

They needed the Mike Tenay/Don West celebrating gif for that reveal.

But Paul Wight didn't introduce him. Any chance someone else is coming out?

Update: no one else came out

[jiraffejustin]

We have two unrelated Cages and two unrelated Pages in AEW. Wonderful. 

[Strummer]

Christian was in the final 4 of the Rumble a little more than a month ago. Now he's in AEW. I kinda mess these jumping ship moments

For AEW's sake, I hope so.

I wish Surfer Sting could be there to tag with his son Skater Sting

[NintendoLogic]

They're even using his TNA theme. Fucking hell.

[KawadaSmile]

wait this is a cinematic match? oh boy

[sek69]

rovert will be around shortly to resume trying to convince us that Christian is a mega star I'm sure.

[Loss]

It's a great signing for AEW and he'll be valuable to the company. I don't think it's a disappointment, but a lot of people do, to the point that I think these announcements are playing with fire unless you're signing someone at the John Cena level.

Yup.  Christian is the definition of a second/etc tier HOFer that you’d expect wouldn’t be in until many years into a retirement.  Not a first ballot HOF caliber talent as advertised.

Maybe Christian joins the Dark Order

[sek69]

OK Sting with the Darby style paint is pretty cool.

Absolutely agree here

[sek69]

TBF as much as I'm bagging on it, I'm glad the announcement wasn't broken down Kurt Angle.

[MoS]

Commentary during a cinematic match is a terrible idea. It's just so counter-productive

[C.S.]

I guess WWE didn't sign Christian. This was reasonably the best option AEW had. Punk, Brock, and Cena were never realistic possibilities. Angle is broken down. Christian is a great get.

Not sure why anyone is disappointed, as it would've been a huge surprise without the hype announcement. As it is, it's still a pretty startling development considering that he was final four in the Rumble only a month ago.
 

[Manatee]

They must have needed to pop the buy rate enough that they were willing to sacrifice credibility.

Salty Taz is good
