I think we all said this about Adam Cole. shyt I know I did. Look what happened. Just saying..

Ehhh his long term girlfriend works for AEW, so that played a part in him leaving as well. Plus, I'd feel rather jaded as well if they didn't think enough of me to remember when my contract expired.

He's never been interesting. Not to mention it'll be a company full of egos. People are going to get screwed out of tv time.
This what I was saying in another thread. It’s a matter of time before egos clash behind the scenes in AEW and we start getting the tea on it
:lolbron:

AEW gotta release some talent that they’re doing absolutely nothing with like ole Shawn Spears :mjlol: breh thought he could jump ship to AEW and become a maineventer :mjlol: he probably in AEW catering hating his life right now :mjlol:

He's also a trainer for the company. If anything, he'll go do that full time.

The All Out PPV just grossed anywhere between $8-10M just off PPV buys alone. Granted they won't see half the money but in the end the All Out PPV probably already paid for Punk's contract and maybe also Bryan's..

Probably going to be seeing similar numbers going forward. This was arguably their biggest PPV since Dynamite launched and they absolutely nailed it when it mattered most. They have the juice and the buzz, and in the future All Out 2021 could potentially be looked at as their Bash at the Beach 96.

Eventually, they'll get tired of it being a money pit and offload it to move on to the next venture. That's how businesses operate. You give it a few years to try and turn a business into a profitable on and either sell or move on to the next project if it doesn't work out.

Only reason they are in the red right now is because of the video game development (which personally I feel is a foolish thing to focus on right from the jump, but with the amount of gamers employed there and a billionaire footing the bill, I guess they felt now was the time) and some of those losses might have been offset by Turner supposedly paying $10 million to move Dynamite to TBS in January. We'll have to see how the success of the PPV affects TV ratings over the next couple weeks, but if viewership goes up they could probably afford to charge more in ad money than before.

khan grew up a wrestling fan. And not even a casual fan. He was a tape trader. He is among the hardcore fanbase. So while he will certainly want to turn a profit, he is going to give this project a long time.. This isn't a Sinclair or Dixie Carter situation.

Yea, until the last couple months they had a good balance of recognizable, established stars and fresh new wrestlers. Now it's overwhelming how many ex-WWE guys they have, even if they're mostly good. I understand you basically have to get Punk and Bryan, but Malakai Black, Andrade, Christian, Kevin Owen's, Adam Cole. Big Show, they could go without those guys.

Big Show and Christian came first. Bryan, Punk and Cole weren't available yet. Big Show won't be anything more than a part time/announcer. He's not taking away from the younger guys. Christian will probably move down the card some and feud with younger guys..

Punk and Bryan are only interested in feuding with young talent. Punk already fought Darby. Bryan has already talked up Garcia..

ROH ain't getting enough credit for being the developmental of basically the entire wrestling market right now.

Ehhh, debatable. ROH did give a bigger platform to almost everyone that is name in the wrestling business nowadays, but they didn't develop a lot of the newer guys.

After the Joe, Punk, Nigel, Danielson generation the only ones you could say were developed by ROH were Rollins and Cole. The rest did their thing outside of Ring Of Honor and were booked there when they already were seasoned as performers (Bucks, Owens, Zayn/Generico, Omega).

Once Danielson left, ROH stopped being a promotion were talent grew into legit performers. Instead it became a promotions were performers that did they time in the indys could make a little more money and get on TV.

He's not going to wait 5-10 before his company turns a profit as it would be foolish on his part :laff:

His grand plan is to make AEW become a publicly-traded company as that's where the money truly is. Him growing up a wrestling fan means nothing in the grand scheme of things because his goal with his business venture is to make money. I can tell that a lot of people don't understand that basic concept by the comments in this thread.

You can also tell that Khan is letting his fandom interfere with how he does the business side of things based on his comments in interviews.

Breh.. you're the one not understanding. You didn't realize that khan was an 80s/90s JCP/AJPW fanboy and tape trader and thus it's not just a "little business venture" for him. Obviously he will want to turn a profit on the venture but he won't easily give up on it... you've never heard the term passion project before Lol..

I let it slide, but you're being a whole autist now. If it was just money, he'd continue to pump it into stocks and safe investments - not become the face of a wrestling company, you smoothbrain

People have passion projects all the time, but at the end of the day it's all about business and making money. Hell, you see Vince stepped in and pulled the plug on HHH's passion project because it was actually losing money instead of making money.

Passion projects don't mean shyt when it's not your money that's footing the bill for it and is someone's else's instead.
