TONY KHAN STINKS! ("WBD OWNS A PERCENTAGE OF AEW." - DAVE MELTZER; AEW SLASHES 40% OFF SHOW TICKETS; DYNAMITE NO MILLION WATCH: 617 DAYS/88 WEEKS)

[Stop_It_5]

AEW basically was getting hot twice; the first time from when Dynamite started til Covid, then again in Summer/Fall 2021. We couldn't really get a good feel for how WWE would react to AEW getting hot the first time because of Covid. That WWE stepped their game up in 2022 in part as a response to AEW coming out hot in Summer/Fall 2021, signing Punk/Bryan and doing 1.2s isn't far fetched.

AEWs had a direct impact on contract negotiations and leverage for agents but that's the extent of it regarding WWE.

I don't think HHH/TKO have done anything particularly special or over the top since the process of them taking over began, they gave production the modern face-lift it needed and tightened up the product with some common sense and stability. Vince was 10 toes deep into his out of touch phase during the Bryan WM and that was 10 years ago, everything they've done to "step their game up" happens the same once a senile old man isn't in charge anymore, whether AEW exists or not.

I used to watch AAA and they do this type of shyt all the time
A lot of Lucha is guys running around doing flippy shyt and not really hitting each other
It's supposed to be more like trying to show up your opponent
The superhero pose shyt is done to fukking death in AEW though, enough with that

We prolly about two weeks out from Ricochet and Ospreay both just cutting the middleman and wrestling in capes, bruh the Superhero Landing pose may as well be AEW's Jerry West.

Those Friday night CMLL shows are good. It's some legit stuff on there. These two look like they are on training wheels.

Case in point, KO could very well be on his way out. Is Triple H putting him on ice? No, he’s putting him in a program against the WWE heavyweight champ and using him to his full capabilities.

Same with ricochet. Triple H knew he was bouncing but still put him in a feud against Bronn to help get him over on the main roster until the very end.
