I don't think he gets enough credit for getting the group to step their game up creatively. He's not going to put on clinics in the ring, but on the business-side of the industry he brings a lot to the table.

Cody works on BTE just as much if not more than anyone else in the group, also of we being real The Bucks of Youth wouldn't have done All In without Cody. It's a beneficial agreement on both sides but because it's "Cawdy" nikkas hate

nobody was gonna give CAWdy a million dollar deal.
Either this is false or the milli was based on incentives that he'd never hit..
Cody and The Buck prolly put this out.
Ain’t nobody paying them THAT kinda $$$

If they're already making THAT kinda money and a company wants them......
Do you not understand how business works?
"Meltzer also double-downed on the report that WWE might be very nervous about another rich family opening a pro wrestling company in AEW."
This the kinda shyt that annoys TF out me about Meltzer, you ain't doubling down on nothing

Given how big their merch is I believe WWE had no choice but to throw the bag.
I do apparel as my small business.. I cannot even fathom what these guys rake in on just their tshirts.
On 10k tees they are easily netting a quarter mill in profit alone (going by their regular selling price) and that's probably an extremely low estimate.
They have to be doing minimum half a mill on their merch. Add another 500k conservative salary for WWE and that's your 1 mil already. Cody included.

No matter how much money is behind AEW, they aren't going to be able to compete in marketshare and mindspace with WWE. Ever. Nor is any company. WWE is NBA/NFL tier. Outside of a 2 year period, WWE is literally the only name in wrestling that has mattered to the American public for 35 years. WWE is literally synonmous with wrestling to the point where anytime you hear something on the local news about a fight or wrestling, it's referred to as WWE.
AEW could be competition in the sense that it might make WWE pay more for some talents, but no one will ever be able to compete with a company like WWE, which has been around and has had relationships established with arenas/owners/ticket companies/promoters/manufacturers/etc for going on 60 years. It will be good for talent for sure, and it might light a fire under Vince for a bit, but it will compete with WWE as much as AND1 and Big 3 compete with the NBA or Arena Football and XFL compete with the NFL.
