>>11735998The general sentiment among all those ex-WWE guys / veterans is that their advice is unwanted, and as a result they've all resigned to collecting a paycheck and ignoring the dimeless shit for a long as they can stand it.
Don't think for a moment that Edge doesn't know this. They all know it in the E.
>but Punk came back so therePunk was paid a shitload of money by Tony Khan with the explicit objective to make AEW a good wrestling promotion, the idea being "if they won't listen to Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Sting, Paul Wight, Mark Henry, Christian, Matt Hardy or Billy Gunn, maybe they'll listen to the indie darling they all looked up to."
Tried that. Failed. Tried it again. Failed again.
I'm not just quoting Cornette in saying this; Tony Khan's ambition was doomed to fail the moment he decided to go into business with the Elite.
None of those guys will ever make a sacrifice to benefit the promotion. It's all about they, themselves, and us.
They were insufferably bad in Ring of Honour and anywhere else they went.
They were the lackeys of the Bullet Club in NJPW.
Tony threw money at them thinking they'll work with him, but he hasn't the spine to throw them out after those idiots have made it clear they're only in the business for themselves.
Even MJF's just playing ball. Sure he's hoping to go to the WWE, but if he was any good or any promise, they'd have offered him a deal back when he was in MLW.
They're not gonna offer him a deal now he's exposed himself as just another indie shitter.
