The Voros (DA VINKY) Twins are big content creators. Why haven't they been signed anywhere?

I think by choice. They haven't wrestled as much in recent years, and do really well as content creators. I'd heard a rumor that when they came in to AEW there was some interest there, and a pitch to possibly have them be Dalton Castle's new Boys. Regardless of if it's true, it would have been a fantastic idea. They're funny dudes, and wonderful in general. I had the pleasure of interviewing them a while back.

Where had Billy Gunn been before this past week.

Home. I haven't heard that he's been backstage much if at all recently before the Orlando shows, and he wasn't factored in to creative plans. He was taken off tv during the year as AEW wanted to get younger on TV, and hasn't been planned for the Acclaimed reunion. He's still under contract to AEW for a while, but with the changes to the Collision tapings, he was brought in. He also lives in Atlanta and was backstage at the Atlanta Dynamite

You mentioned that Jeff Jarrett's role changed in recent years. What is it now?

As best I know, Jeff Jarrett is only on a talent contract with AEW. I believe Karen Jarrett was on a per appearance deal if I'm not mistaken. Jarrett moved out of his office role well over a year ago and does on-screen stuff now. Another case of a guy that is still with the company even though his role changed when the company wanted to get younger.
