>>13995466>The entire thing feels like a setup to bleed Tony Khan dry for a few years in order to create pressure for WWE to allow unions, double/triple/quadruple pay, etcIf you flip this premise on its head, it makes much more sense as to what is really happening. Tony was deployed to bleed the indie scene dry. He can use his dad's infinite supply of laundered Pakistan assassination/trafficking money to price out every single promoter from attracting names to work their shows. Remember that Tony dropped the "aw shucks i'm a nice guy who lets my toys go work the indies" gimmick very quickly. Punk was subtly telling everyone in his interview today that AEW isn't a real business. AEW was specifically sent to destroy one of the few independent enterprises in America while also doubling as a speculative gay harem for its "founder".
