Post by Controversial Maverick PUNK on Jun 18, 2020 3:20:36 GMT -5
MJF has definitely talked about not having interest in WWE. Wants no part of scripted promos. His promos wouldn't be scripted - especially if he was in NXT. He's basically a younger version of Punk - I'd like to think, exceptions would be made for such an exceptional mic-worker. Hopefully they back the Brinks truck up for Allie and Kris Statlander to get them out of that cesspool of a women's division, and fast. Statlander isn't going anywhere. She talked a bit on the podcast recently about how the signing went down, and she sounded really happy in the AEW locker room. Allie husband wrestlers for AEW too, so unless they start having marital problems I wouldn't expect her to leave. They can keep them - especially overrated, Statlander. Don't see what fuss is about. Apart from maybe Shida, there's nobody I would want from their crappy women's division. |

They'll script an unproven greenhorn. |

They make everyone follow a script. Everyone. MJF would be heavily scripted and regularly be inserted into goofy comedy segments (likely involving poop, vomit, or dog food). |

Not to mention once someone starts getting over, if they don't want them to, they will  them over. Just look at Rhea. |

Unless they get an insane offer, why would they leave? You get creative freedom and I imagine a wayyyy less stressful backstage environment. I definitely would agree with this. AEW so far seems like such a breath of fresh air to a lot of talent. Maybe they could make out better money-wise with the WWE, but it seems to me AEW has payroll to spend. |

They also have the advantage that their wealth is highly diversified. Whereas if WWE tanks, Vince is broke. If AEW takes a substantial loss in an effort to secure talent, the Khan's have numerous other revenue streams to prop up AEW and not take a drastic financial hit. Not sure many take this into account, but it's extremely relevant and important when considering if AEW will be a player in the contract game. |

TK has said numerous times that the company needs to be buoyant and that heβs not just going to sink money into it. No live crowd hurt them terribly, but heβs reached into his pockets in the meantime. |

I mean, Moxley literally said even if there was no other wrestling in the entire world, he still would have quit WWE, so him going back is a pretty big stretch. He really doesn't care about money all that much, and he was really depressed near the end of his run there. I think it would take a long time and a lot of change in WWE for him to ever consider going back.
After the recent Jeff Hardy storyline, I don't see Matt particularly wanting to head back there ever again either.

By the time a lot of AEW contracts wrap up, WWE is going to be in a really tight place financially if nothing changes. People will laugh at this, but thereβs a possibility the Khans could buy WWE in less than a decade.
For some people, going to WWE is the pinnacle. For others, theyβve seen what that corporation offers and want nothing to do with it. For now, thereβs nothing but wild speculation.

Itβs not likely, but with WWEβs numbers going down consistently over the last 5 years are very alarming. Pre-Covid, their attendance was troubling and didnβt justify the venue size that they used to. Unless they once again fail upwards, their next tv deals will likely be nowhere close to the current ones. The fact that theyβre publicly traded played a factor in me saying that too. That company has too many red flags to ever reach its previous heights again. I could totally see them selling (likely not to TK) once their profitability pales in comparison to this year. Also, I was very tired when I said that. lol Iβve been in the hospital with my wife the last few days and havenβt really slept. If I do the live feed for Dynamite tonight, it might get REALLY weird. |
