You marks keeping talking about buyouts…you know that’s for actual sports right? There’s no salary cap in wrestling or reason to buyout a contract. The single solitary reason (and the only reason it’s ever happened on the history of Pro Wrestling) is when someone wants to work for a different company in which case, the contract is bought out by the person themselves or with the backing of the other company. I defy you faggots to to show me one solitary example of a buyout happening between a wrestler and a company he’s contracted to work for just because they don’t want to be in business anymore. Pro tip: you can’t. The WCW situation was unique in that the company holding the contracts (Time Warner) weren’t promoting wrestling anymore. In order to go work for Vince, you had to terminate your current contract and take his pennies on the dollar or you couldn’t show up on TV. There is zero incentive for Phil to take a buyout, he can just sit at home and collect checks until it runs out. There’s maybe an incentive for Tony to pursue it (if this was real) but even the merest possibility of Phil signing with WWE would be reason enough to pay him (not to mention AEW’s slice of merchandising all of which hasn’t been pulled from AEW stores, which should be red flag enough that this is all fake). There has never been any talk of contract buyouts before in wrestling, ever. this is all part of Tony Khan’s worked shoot bullshit, just like the MJF thing. Just like the Andrade thing. All these brawls with no witnesses and no one pulling out their phone or getting arrested. Very convenient. Just another example of AEW having the dirt sheets in their pocket. Now back to your regularly scheduled 92 and joshiposting.
