5 Reasons why AEW should sign Shane Taylor

#4 Shane Taylor's promo ability could be an asset for AEW

AEW is the home of professional wrestling for a number of reasons. It isn't just about having a fantastic in-ring product, but it is also because they have some of the best talkers in the business today. From Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston to Chris Jericho and MJF, many performers produce entertaining promos on a weekly basis.

Shane Taylor will feel right at home with all these spectacular promos. He speaks with such conviction and purpose. His words hold weight and make a powerful impact on fans. Shane can either make fans hate him by speaking his truth or he can make the crowd rally behind him. These are great signs for anyone coming to a company as rich with excellent talkers as AEW.

#3 Shane Taylor could be considered a homegrown mainstream star for AEW

Although Shane Taylor has achieved some success in his former home promotion as well as on the independent scene, there is a certain section of fans who might not know of everything that he has achieved. Coming to AEW will open some eyes to a performer like Taylor, who has been tearing it up wherever he has gone in the past seven years.

Eddie Kingston spent 20 years on the independent scene, but his arrival in AEW has made him feel like a homegrown star due to not having an identifiable presence on promotions like WWE, IMPACT Wrestling or NJPW. Shane Taylor can find himself in a similar position. Some fans have accused All Elite Wrestling of prioritizing stars from other promotions, but Taylor doesn't have that stigma at all.
