The WWE pay-cut story is not best understood as a morality play about greed, or a simple test of whether talent should walk away. It is a story about bargaining power: who has it, who thinks they have it, and who discovers the contract was not the real protection. 🧵
Speedball thinks a lot of criticism AEW gets is because it’s different from the TV wrestling ppl are used to:
“AEW is where the best wrestle, it’s not sports entertainment, it’s about pro wrestling, because pro wrestling is great”
(Masks Mats & Mayhem)
@HeyHeyItsConrad@davemeltzerWON That's not what he did at all Conrad 😂 he's using the NFL as an example of another sport. It's common in all sports. I watch football (soccer) and people compare young players to past legends all the time. Particularly when they first come on the scene.
AEW is where the best wrestle!

@Dporticus@TonyKhan I think Tony understands the core AEW audience now more than ever. Stay original. Keep with his vision because his vision is what makes AEW itself. I can't explain this properly, but as an avid AEW fan since day 1 this is the most confident time in battling the perception battle
@Dporticus@TonyKhan is just a normal bloke like a lot of other wrestling fans. Hes us. His vision is what a lot of wrestling fans dreamed of. He lost his way a bit but found himself again, the difference is hes a normal bloke who likes wrestling, that's simply it. Thank you Tony. Stay you!
