AEW's first press conference was on January 8th, 2019. As AEW is now 3 years in since their very first event, a lot of talent is up for contract renewal, as a lot of names were signed to 3 year contracts (or 3 years plus options in the case of The Elite & Chris Jericho).

Looking back at who has performed for AEW 2019, I was curious who potentially could be leaving, so using CageMatch I did my best to get all the talent for AEW that appeared for them in 2019, as well as their first on screen date. They may have been announced beforehand on twitter or somewhere else, but to make it easy without needing to do tons of research, I've kept it to their first on screen date.

###The Initial Press Conference

It's safe to assume that since we are now at the 3 year mark of the press conference, anyone who did not have an option on their contract has been extended and is with AEW for longer. Anyone that has confirmed as re-signed/extended is noted, but again, all these names are assumed to be extended

###The Ticket Press Conference

An event held to announce Double or Nothing and the tickets going on sale, more talent was announced as having signed with the company. 3 year deals for these talent would all be expiring in 30 days time

Hey guys!

Sorry for any delay on this, was vacationing the past week so I was off the grid when all these cards came out. A brief overview, we have a few great cards, a few good ones, a new budget beast TE that will release today, and a FB that you'll never take out of your lineup.

Pass Block:

Run Block:

I mentioned at the top of my previous mock draft post that one person mocks are fun, but they don't bring much to the table. It only allows you to see one perspective and wouldn't resemble many of your real drafts very closely at all. So I reached out to some of my favorite posters on this sub and through the glory of the internet, we mock drafted together. This is how it went.

1.01 Breece Hall, RB Iowa State (BirdSemen)

I know a lot of people are going to be upset that I didn't draft a QB. This was a tough call at the 1.01 between Breece Hall and Treylon Burks. I will likely flop between the two throughout the offseason. Gave Hall the nod this time due to RB positional scarcity. Hall is a good all-purpose RB with a nose for the endzone. I see him as an RB2 floor with Top 5 RB upside.

1.02 Treylon Burks, WR Arkansas (Killtec7)

A program defining career for the Razorback receiver. On top of an excellent college career, he will test ‘good enough’ at minimum. Solid profile including an early breakout against quality competition, and quality performance against man coverage. Don’t overthink it. If nothing changes between now and May–draft Treylon.

1.03 Matt Corral QB, Ole Miss (Swoody11)

When I was going through the pre-draft process, I remember saying “I generally don’t like touching QB’s from this class before 1.04.” Well… Here we are. What this pick comes down to, for me, is being more afraid of losing Corral and being “stuck” with any of the other guys if I pass on him at 1.03. I love Corral’s legs (very underrated part of his game) and think that his escapability will help him grow into a more refined passer at the NFL level. His ceiling is pretty high in my opinion but more importantly, I think he has a real floor as a stable NFL starter. I can’t say the same for any other prospects in this class, minus maybe Pickett.

1.04 Kenneth Walker III, RB Michigan State (Slyger_Woods)

I’ve started souring on Spiller just a little bit. On top of that, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Walker be the first RB off the board come draft day. I don’t think anyone is doubting Walker’s talent on the ground and from what I’ve seen I think he can offer a good enough receiving game to keep him on the field as often as possible. I was tempted to grab my WR2 Garret Wilson here, but positional scarcity brings Walker up a little further.

1.05 Isaiah Spiller, RB Texas A&M (BirdSemen)

With Burks gone I don’t see a need to attack the WR position a

• The Elite rush in after time expires. The crowd boos furiously, then the bucks and Cole superkick Bryan. Christian and Jungle Boy run in for the save and run the Elite out.

• CM Punk is here. (Imagine typing that CM Punk comes out after a Bryan/Omega match? I'm still drowning in how crazy this shit has gotten in the last couple of months dudes). “I'm sure glad I'm not wrestling on Dynamite, how do you follow that?” he asks. He is correct. I pity the rest of the roster. It's been a long time since I've been in NYC he says. It's been even longer since pro wrestling has been in NYC he says. People keep saying he needs to get mad, to be the old CM Punk. Eventually, you will see that man, but be careful what you wish for. He calls out Team Taz. He says he tried to come down here and mean mug, but he sees the fans and cant help but smile. Last week they tricked me, jumped me, put me through a table... and yes, it pissed me off, and yes I'm about it, but when my music hits, and I step on that stage. I can't help but feeling the way I feel-- yes it's a love fest. And yes I'm smiling. And yes I'm happy. I'm happy to see you. But of course I think what they did, or attempted, was take all of this away from me. They don't want to hear my music, don't want to see happy CM Punk and enjoying wrestling fans. And then, well, then I get pissed off. Because it's been so long since I felt or had this, so long since I needed t

Do your worst!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Greetings! Hope everyone in this sub is having a wonderful week. I just started getting into scouting last year as a side hobby and am absolutely loving it. This is the time of year where I am constantly massaging my mock draft file attempting to balance team needs vs BPA. I will continue to make adjustments and release mocks monthly as we get more information on prospects and teams. I am also working on putting together a top 32 overall big board.

I think it's a little silly to be projecting trades considering we don't know where teams will be picking yet, so please note that there are no trades in this mock. Let me know what you guys think. I am looking for constructive criticism and feedback on how I did addressing your teams needs and the pick in general. Wouldn't mind hearing who you think I'm too high or too low on as well. Let's get started!

​

1.01 - Detroit Lions

Pick: Kayvon Thibodeaux

Position: EDGE

School: Oregon

Pick Notes: In what is widely considered to be a weak QB class, Thibodeaux is the best overall player in the draft in my opinion. He doesn’t have the raw strength you would like to see from a “can’t miss” prospect but he is one of the most technically refined edge rushers I have seen coming out. The Lions are in desperate need for an influx of talent on their roster and Thibodeaux will be a significant boost for their defense.

1.02 - Houston Texans

Pick: Matt Corral

Position: QB

School: Ole Miss

Pick Notes: I expect the Texans to use the draft capital they get from trading Watson to fill out the rest of the holes on their roster. However, until those extra picks do come in, it’s hard for me to see them passing on a QB here when they get their first hand choice at ‘their guy’ vs having to settle with what’s available to them. I don’t think any QB in this class is necessarily worth going this high based on talent but when a QB needy team gets presented with first dibs on the landscape of QB’s they usually don’t pass it up.

1.03 - New York Jets

Pick: Evan Neal

Position: OT

School: Alabama

Pick Notes: Having two bookend behemoth offensive tackles in Becton and Neal to protect your new franchise QB would be a very smart decision here. Neal is the blue chip tackle prospect from this class and wo

When the topic of "how do you properly structure a good stable" comes up, I always refer to the ideology of one of the greatest minds in the business, Raven. For Raven, a stable should have : the main guy, a big heater ( 6'5, 300 pounds or so ), a high flyer / exciting performer that is eventually going to break out on his own and be a big star ( the Stevie Richards spot if you will ), a tag team and a resident clown / comedy relief / job guy. This system is perfect, as Raven played a dark character himself for many years. However, since the business has changed so much, a female member is a must also as AEW, number one, has a lot of underutilized performers and number two, quite a few of them fit this aesthetic. Therefore, House of Black might look a little something like this :

- Main guy / top guy : Malakai Black ( obviously )

- Big heater : Brody King ( my man literally looks like a bigger Malakai, he is pe-rf-ec-t ). Another choice would be a heel Luchasaurus, but I like Brody more so I am sticking with him.

- Future star : tricky, really tricky, as there are quite a few choices. Darby would be a great choice, but he is universally beloved. Dante Martin works IF they completely change his look, kid is a babyface in every sense of that word. Here is a weird one for you - Kip Sabian ! His new gimmick is certainly... "out there", and I can see him getting over as Malakai's smaller understudy that's taken advantage of. Lio Rush under his Blackheart gimmick would work amazingly. Finally, 10 of the Dark Order. I know he is a big guy, but Brody is much bigger, plus Vance really needs a revamp of some sort. He is in a worse position now than he was a year and a half ago. Bottom line, any of those guys could work.

- Tag Team : obviously Butcher and Blade. I know they are undercard gatekeepers, but with a right storyline they'd be believable killers, I guarantee you. An interesting proposition - heel Lucha Bros ! Penta is obviously notoriously good in this role, and the few of us that know of a little character called "Dark Fenix" will tell you that his brother isn't a slouch either. Bear Country with a modified look too perhaps, I could buy it.

- Gatekeeper / comedy guy / jester : a heel Trent ? Why not, I think it could work. Alan Angels perhaps, he is very young and will grow as a performer, this type of gimmick would allow him to develop mo

• The Elite come out after Adam Cole's win. Karl asks Rochester to welcome the Super Elite. To be Elite, you have to have the Impact Tag Team champs like the Good Brothers, Adam Cole, you have to have the AEW World Champion Kenny Omega, the greatest tag team ever, the Young Bucks-- and even though they're no longer the champs, they're still the EVPs! And also Nak and Cutler. Adam Cole says he told us so, that he'd beat Jungle Boy-- and he did. He did it by himself. He's Elite, baybay. Adam Cole, he says, is also undefeated. Nick Jackson says we're about to hear the best promo in pro wrestling and gives Nakazawa the mic. The crowd chants for punk and Nakazawa tells them to shutup. Kenny says good chant, don't care. He says his phone has been ringing, his myspace mentions full-- Kenny, the match with Bryan was the best match I ever seen, the best match in AEW history-- and to him, he says, that's cool, but see if I care. Bryan, you kicked my head in [A Yes chant breaks out]. He says Bryan couldn't get the job done. He says he's never getting a rematch. He'll never see him in the ring again. Bryan's music hits. He has a mic. Let's see, he says, do you want a rematch? The crowd is ecastatic. Lots of YES's, some NO's. He says everyone wants it but Kenny, cause he aint got the BALLS. The crowd chants NO BALLS. Ladies and gentlemen, he says, KENNY “N

Hey guys so with this new Tony Boselli vs Taylor Mays selection I've seen a lot of back and forth on who to select and why. Mays is 6'3 and fast at FS so that seems like the move, but I'm sure you could guess who my pick will be. Reason being is that by years end we're lucky if our favorite squad has 3 great O lineman, let alone 4. So the fact that Tony Boselli gets a secondary chem FOR EVERY OFFENSIVE LINEMAN POSITION is reason enough to select him for your team. I'll go into why this is so important below, but really this card will most likely be the best center we ever get this year.

So here is how Tony stacks up as a LT right now at his various levels
