If Kenny Omega doesn't sign with AEW, does that immediately make it hard to take seriously as a competitor?
Maybe not, but it definitely starts to raise some questions.
If the whole goal of this is these guys wanting to create their own place to work with creative freedom and get paid, and they can't get their own homie to sign up after he was telling the same story.....
If I were a wrestler, I'd wonder just how good the money is supposed to be, and just how much creative leeway I'd get.
