>>12056077No they weren't, they're fucking idiots and marks.
One of the reasons that people go to WWE is because their distribution and merchandising is so strong that even having only a short run at the top guarantees you cheques for life.
They would have lost out on a little short term money but then would have been financially set for the rest of their life even if they blow it all.
Financially they made a stupid decision. They're not getting AEW royalty cheques when they're 62.
