>>19775677it's clear he never respected AEW the way he does WWE ass the incumbent industry leader and "the show" and the big leagues to make it in, etc. He's way more of an Edrone deep down than he'd ever admit. Certainly never respected Tony Khan the way he does/did Vince McMahon. Look at how he conducted himself over there.
So no, I don't think he ever really cared to try and build AEW and help it get it's footing in the industry and try to make that real change in the business he preached so much about for years. That was all gimmick, hollow talk.
