i just have no idea why you brought up JCP when we're comparing vince's tactics and TK's tactics. As long as you see them being pretty much the same thing, okay. They are.We are talking about the same thing which is: expansion. JCP was trying to expand even if it was more lowkey. I know what Vince did. My point is that a lot of the promoters wanted to do the same thing and if Vince flopped... they would have all tried to take a piece of New York.
I'm not taking anyone's side... and I'm not saying what TK is doing is "different" ... but when you brought up New Japan. Think about what happened. New Japan's parent company had a terrible year financially and they cannot pay Okada, Shibata, Mercedes, Giulia, Ospreay, White etc...
What were the performers supposed to do? They are going to go where the money is which is only WWE and AEW. Those are the only two games in town where those performers can get the money they deserve. What else did you expect to happen there?
And this:
was literally vince's business model. Replace "New Japan" with AWA, Portland, Etc, and okada with hogan, Shibata with savage, Guilia with Mean Gene, Osprey with Savage, etcThink about what happened. New Japan's parent company had a terrible year financially and they cannot pay Okada, Shibata, Mercedes, Giulia, Ospreay, White etc...
