Endeavour have sketchy connections, probably need a way to plausibly launder dirty money. Notice the boom only happened as soon as the takeover talks started (Vince was forced out by their guys, Nick and Hunter were happy to play ball and don't care about being bagmen)
Shahid Id imagine is happy for AEW to be a money pot for similar reasons
Wrestling has always been full of carnies, crooks and gangsters
Vince for all his personal flaws was legitimately the cleanest major promoter the biz has ever had when it comes to crime/gangster shit, Endeavour look to me to just be bringing wrestling back in house like all the other skeezy entertainment giants
