Tony Khan says Mercedes Moné takes on commitments outside of AEW because she loves wrestling, not because of greed or money:
“It's not about pure greed and money for Mercedes, because a lot of these places she's wrestling — Winnipeg, Canada, Denmark — they're not the highest paying places. She's not really making money from these.
She loves wrestling, she loves building up companies, she loves meeting new young stars, and she really cares about the craft and the sport of wrestling. It’s about a competition, so as a competitor, she wants to go out and fight all over the world.”

I hope the steelbook set selling out so quickly serves as a reminder to Craven’s estate just how powerful the Nightmare on Elm Street IP still is today. Let’s get some more Freddy content 💪
Also, please consider an animated film where Robert could still voice Freddy and not have to worry about the physicality of the character. 🙏🏻
