Yea that's true. WWE really missed the boat with Tessa. She'd be a great addition to the AEW roster. Cool to see Jake in the video too. Having him as a manager/mentor type character on TV would be a smart idea.

Tessa is like Triple H - someone who isn't the light, but can reflect the light - much like her father, someone would could build new stars and give them great matches and angles to draw money and become legends.
You know, kinda like her dad was.

Oh god they signed Orange Cassidy. "Hey let's get the guy that only his fellow indie wrestlers think is funny while New Japan just had their best show ever." They deserve the Cornette bashing they'll get for that.

He's going to do an angle where The Librarian finds out he's Klondike Bill's illegitimate son and then Tony manages him to pay respect to his old friend.

WWE should have given him a country singer gimmick to troll Jeff Jarrett. It would have been better than all of his gimmicks except the mustache one.

That one where he wore a face mask was pretty good too.

WWE had no interest in Tony until AEW wanted him.
-- Tony Schiavone is headed to All Elite Wrestling as PWinsider.com confirmed on Monday that he has signed a deal with the promotion. Dave Meltzer was the first to report that AEW had reached a deal with Schiavone.
It was noted that WWE also had an interest in Schiavone. It turns out that as late as Wednesday, WWE was still pursuing a Schiavone deal. That stopped once he agreed to terms with AEW this past Thursday. He will be on television quite a bit as Schiavone, who is signed to an MLW contract, will continue with his role in MLW.
MLW tweeted out a video that was released back in December on YouTube. The promotion commented under the tweet of the video that “Mr. Schiavone’s MLW status is unchanged.”
With Schiavone signing a deal with AEW, he’ll be back on TNT where he was the lead announcer for Monday Nitro that was presented by WCW.
Prior to this news, Schiavone had appeared in AEW video packages uploaded to YouTube a few months ago. At the time, he wasn’t under contract with AEW.
Currently, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross serves as the lead play-by-play announcer for AEW so it will be interesting to see what Schiavone’s role with the promotion will be.
AEW has yet to make the signing official but an announcement is expected shortly.

I'm assuming it's just for Control Center. Even if they hired him and fired Marvez I don't know if you'd want two guys so associated with the past announcing. I'd say just have a two man booth in that situation.

Dave is saying Mox has an elbow injury, some other sites are saying it's a staph infection
Jon Moxley has some kind of an elbow injury. It may be an infection that he got in Japan. He worked shows this weekend for Northeast Wrestling and with the exception of the 8/16 show in Poughkeepsie, his singles bouts were made tags. He pretty much insisted on doing his singles match with Pentagon Jr., and was very careful not to bump on the elbow."
