You may not have a problem with me, but quite a few others do. Just quoting your post since you guys are having a convo that started off due to my name change, and I already quoted the other dude.
Oh alright, yeah I was just commenting on name changes in general, specifically people who change up often.

Had me looking back over my post like WTF? Why I gotta be the MF to get swung on because he was standing too close to the fight? :picard:

Endeavor has a vested interest in working with TNA, since TNA streams on their platform. There's no reason for them to work with AEW, and I'm sure they would look to get HHH's opinion on something like that. It's also funny how people think that HHH doesn't hold grudges. I guarantee you that Tony killed any chances of a crossover after his NXT meltdown months ago.

What did AEW really gain out of that though if we’re being honest?
Nothing, because Tony Khan ruined the relationship.
Had he not, then his company could've gained an auxiliary talent roster, insight into how a wrestling company should be run, access to Scott D'Amore, Impact's partnership with NJPW, the ability to have AEW/IMPACT/NJPW Supercard PPVs before the "Forbidden Door" was even a thing, a business partner with over 20 years in operation, advertising on AXS TV (that's what Tony Khan was ultimately paying for in the first place), and some more benefits that I'm too lazy to type out.

Last thing TK needs is more talent to work with year round.

No one wants this.

Wrestling fans since the 80's have been clamoring for rival promotions to have interpromotional matches. Off the top of my head, this forum has been itching for an Usos/Young Bucks match for a long time (same for Revival/Bucks but that's happened). A healthy Omega vs. Styles would be another one since they never had a feud after Omega kicked Styles out of Bullet Club. There are probably a line of WWE guys around the block who would want matches with Omega (when healthy), Ospreay, Okada, etc. and vice versa with Orton, Styles, Reigns, etc. Wrestlers are the biggest marks and would jump at the opportunity to have some sort of inter-promotional event, but when one party calls the other "the Harvey Weinstein of pro wrestling", the odds of such an event are slim to none.
