Pay wrestlers a lot of money, if they are draws and can justify it. Swerve is nowhere near the biggest draw in AEW, so he does not deserve the biggest contract. Sound fair?

You legitimately need to be smoking crack to compare Swerve to Austin. There is not a young wrestler today that is in Austin's league, and Swerve isn't even the top wrestler in AEW. And I mean that both as a draw and as a worker. Is Swerve even a top 10 draw in AEW? I doubt it.

The point isn't to make an apples and apples comparison (though if we were, Swerve objectively has more 5-star matches) the point is that value is in the eye of the beholder. WCW wouldn't have ever paid Austin what he was receiving in WWF because they couldn't/didn't make him a star. Likewise, WWE wasn't able to make Swerve a star in the way that AEW has, so their criticisms of his contract fall on deaf ears.

Is Swerve a star though? Really? Doesn't seem that way to me. He comes across as a pretender. I kinda thought it was intentional too until he turned face.

Yeah the thing is Austin's market price was actually gargantuan because he was a game-changing big money draw that was putting asses in seats weekly and drawing huge ratings for every segment he was in.
Swerve isn't doing anything notable in his quarter-hours and attendance is in the shits, so yes, it's 100% fair to say his market value isn't substantial.

Maybe now that they're paying him more, Tony will actually focus on him. Swerve was great as champion, but the shows never focused on him. He always knocked it out of the park when he was on TV. Good promo, good look, good matches, carries himself like a champion.

They're behind the cable-cutting curve in both total viewership and demo YoY btw, so Swerve is even less so worth every penny by that metric.

I don't give a fuck what Vince or Jim think or have ever said because I don't make my personality contingent on wrestling e-celebs like (You).
Swerve hasn't done any positive business for AEW almost if not all metrics are down YoY, so paying him this amount of money will never not be laughably stupid.
