>>13273013Of course they would have, but that's not the reality we're in, so I don't care.
At least pre-AEW there were reasons for and against. You could still make a good living in Japan, take outside bookings, or fully commit to WWE's full-time schedule.
Now there's zero reason to do anything but play ball with the one retard who will encumber you in a vortex of mid for massive money and little workload.
Great for the wrestlers, terrible for the viewers, damaging for anyone that doesn't bend the knee to AEW.
>>13273036>Most of the guys they took would have went to WWE and wouldn't have been able to give back.Again, probably, but that's not the timeline we're in.
