>>13274605this is a good point, the theory and practice of aew are polar opposites
the theory is that everyone outside of wwe gets along, everyone works everywhere, tony gives them lots of money and facilitates this
the reality is that he literally gets promoters that don't play ball ousted, the actual relative draws all just sign with him and have no impetus to take indie dates, everyone not in wwe just inevitably winds up in aew and it all becomes a homogenous blob of tony's poor booking
that's fine if you're an aew fan, but that's exactly the same as wwe, wwe did that, and that was fine, if you were a wwe fan first and a pro wrestling fan second
aew fans are not pro wrestling fans, they are simply marks for tony khan and the initial mission statement of aew that they can't accept is dead as tony becomes increasingly vincey
