>>8077355I'm really curious, what has AEW ever done to give you the idea that they are a business that has to make money?
AEW is Tony Khan's personal wrestling charity, he doesn't care about rating or buyrates, he cares about walking inside a building where everyone loves him because he's paying them all 6 figures a year to work 8 matches.
50 year old 5ft5, broken-down, unsigned Ishii main evented the show while Danielson was in a promo segment convincing another dude NOT to fight.
Wardlow, you know the big, muscular handsome, well-spoken dude who was kinda getting over isn't on the show because he needs to wait his turn, same for Hook or any of the other young guys/girls with actual star potential. Take a backseat to the weekly Joshi coming in for one match or some GCW dude without a wikipedia page to have a 20 minute match with your world champion.
Because Tony wants to please everyone more than he wants to make money because he's always had money, but he never had the friendship and appreciation of wrestlers.
