And this mentality is what happened to this promotion:

I don't want homegrown indie talent to get the boot for a bunch of WWE catering fillers:unimpressed:. A wrestling promotion suppose to cater to all aspects of the company, not just a selected few to "own the WWE". And if WWE scoops those guys and put the battery in their backs, then what:francis:

That's not good business at all breh.
Lee Johnson vs Carmelo Hayes vs Montez Ford vs Gable Steveson for the WWE Championship at WM 40 :ohlawd:

You've got homegrown like MJF, Darby, The Elite, they matter and then you've got Jack Evans, Jimmy Havoc (lol) Scorpio Sky, Kaz, Janela, Kiss, Hager...they don't

What kinda of narrative is this, even an NBA team keeping its busts on its roster, because they're homegrown when they could sign some of the best UFA that want to come in and at a discount. Get it? Or is that still complicated?

Love those saying g Steen stays in WWE. He gone, bookmark this post. What's even better is those saying oh noes the roster is full, how will they cope.

Ummm, who cares, you still sign Steen, Cole, End, Bryan and Punk the moment you can with your eyes fukking closed.

Guys like Wyatt and Murphy are also available and most likely not AEW bound and if the roster gets full fuxk it, you release Sunny Kiss, Kip, Hager, Scorpio Sky, Jack Evans, Aaron Solow, Comowhatever, Lee Johnson, Leva, Ziggler's brother, I could name another 5 or 10. No big deal lollll

There is zero common sense and business creativity in not getting these guys unless you're transitioning outta the wrasslin business like the wwe is

In what world would Owens or Zayn stay, they're super close to the Bucks and Cole, they're wrestling fans and they probably got bored of losing to the likes of Baldberg. fukk the wwe and everything about it

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that AEW shouldn’t sign KO or Zayn if the opportunity presents itself or that they shouldn’t have signed Punk/Bryan/Cole. They did what they were supposed to. They should be trying to assemble the most talented roster they possibly can and all those are no-brainers.

I was just looking at it from a morale perspective, if you only have 3 hours of TV time per week with 4-5 PPVs, I would imagine there’s gonna be guys that get lost in the shuffle. But like others have mentioned, guys being able to rotate out to work with other promotions could make that less of a thing

Havoc is not even there:mjlol:. Evans fair enough, Sky can still go, Kaz can play the background, Janela :camby:, Kiss is underrated :manny:.

I get what you saying.

Maybe this wrestling shyt is escaping me despite of how dope All Out was:yeshrug:

I know none billionaires that have and keep active operational losses in order to pay less tax. It often only takes a brilliant accountant team to break even but they ain't staying at a loss, takes an idiot to ignore that. They were at a loss during the pandemic with no ticket sales and no live merch. I doubt they're currently bleeding.

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..

The reason they were operating at a loss is because of the video game division but that's a long process they hope will be widely profitable a year or two from here.

Heel Owens with full creativity over his character is an asset for sure.

As long as he's not given a main event spot, I agree. ROH and WWE went to shyt when they gave him with that role :francis:

If Vince is the genius he’s always been labeled and claimed to be, no one should worry about WWE. AEW isn’t competition, those words came from his own mouth.

Eventually the bubble has to burst right as far as AEW goes, right? Like the hype is there now and for good reason but I would have to think that at some point there’s just not gonna be enough TV time to go around.
True, but Tony let's them do other shows. AEW just takes precedent from what they say.

Moxley pretty much shows up in other promotions whenever he wants :mjlol:

He should go to AEW. Truthfully, I think there are some stars (not the Franchise guys like a Reigns or an Omega) that should bounce between companies every 5 to 6 years to refreshen them up to new audiences. Owens is a star, but he's not someone you build/focus a company on, so let him leave and then bring him back in the future, and then let him go again and so on.
