>>16574878He had 2 contracts at AEW, one as a wrestler, the standard 1099 independent contractor wrestler deal, the other as a "consultant" a full employee position with healthcare, benefits etc. Drawing 2 salaries from AEW. From a guy who worshipped the ground he walked on and bent over backwards to give him everything he wanted. He was never making more money in the biz than he was in AEW, and I guarantee you he isn't making 1/10th of that kind of money now in WWE where he went back begging on his knees with no leverage. He KWAB'd himself out of the best paying money deal he ever scored in the business and had to go crawling back on his knees to the corporation he made his entire rep in the business raging against and had to roll over for them like a good obedient little dog.
Ant semblance of "punk rock" credibility he ever had is dead and gone. He's a complete and total sellout.
And it breaks my heart to have to write that as a hardcore Punk fan since the early 00s on the ROH message boards etc. But it's just the truth.
