Good for him, though I feel like he doesn't have much left.
AEW utilizes older wrestlers more as mentors/behind-the-scenes guys rather than having them actively be on the roster.

He's going to be utilized in a non-wrestling role, similar to other older figures AEW has hired. He's doing commentary on a YouTube series highlighting up-and-coming wrestlers and he's probably going to have some type of mentor/manager role.

Good for him
I know people who worked with Arn Anderson when he was a proucer at WWE. He was so miserable, didnt give a shit about anything...
Same people have been to AEW and Arn is like a totally different person. Actually gives a shit about the business again.
Big Show has been rudderless for years. I hope this gives him that spark again

He is a staple of WCW.."THE GIANT"...Tony Khan..the owner is a WCW mark....

his next big signing has to be FLAIR once he is done with wwe,

he can take care of these old timers and give them a reason to live their dream still in a fresh show.

Ric Flair is about to be 72. He's never wrestling again.

Not to wrestle, to be with his 4Horsemen buds

Arn-Tully are in AEW already

nah he would never do that, he loves his son to much to stop support him

His Dad probably wants his son to get every ex WCW mega star he remembers, like GOLDBERG,FLAIR, BOOKER T,

all to just mentor the young guys.

Flair and Arn have had a pretty big falling out it seems.

His 293rd and final heel turn in WWE was turning on WWE itself.

Seriously though, a vet like him to put in a backstage/commentary role and mentor the younger guys is a fantastic signing for AEW. Even if he does also return to the ring in a limited capacity, AEW has been doing a good job so far at using their legends (Jericho, Dustin, Tazz, Billy Ass, Sting, Arn, Tully, etc.) to elevate their newer and lesser-known stars, and that's exactly what they should use Wight for.

Apparently they couldnt come to financial terms with a renewal of his contract.

Which makes me wonder if AEW will be able to do the same, assuming they expect more out of him than being a backstage personality.
