Chris Jericho will not be at the Royal Rumble. Tony Khan offered him a last second deal valued at $6 million a year. He returns at the next AEW PPV
>>19739444You lost Hobbs, you lost Jericho, you're gonna lose Danhausen and Anna Jay soon. Ship status?
What few AEW fans are left would shit all over this if it were true. I don't think even Tony Khan is this tone-deaf. Fun post though.
>>19739444Good i dont want to see Y2J's humiliation ritual being done by Paul "Had to carry Kliq's Bags to get into the Mid card" Levesque
>>19739444digitsbut also>Paying 6 million for 55 year old Jericho who nobody in AEW crowd wants to see.Really securing that KWABOTY 2026 early Tony huh?
>>19739822As long as this is his last deal leading into his retirement I think it's a good deal.
>>19739459it’s sounding better already desucan they take hangma’am and the broke bucks too?
Fucking basedTony "The Turk" Sollozzo Khan with the big money deals
>>19739858Tony, it's a great deal for Chris. You ain't getting fuck all as a return. This is like business 101. If you invest 100 dollars on something, you should ideally get atleast the 100 back to be even neutral on the transaction alone, not including costs. In what world is Chris Jericho gonna generate +6 million to AEW in 2026. OK, I'll give it to you, I'm not on the pulse of AEW crowds 'what's hip' or in AEW's merch sales departments spreadsheet but if Chris Jericho can create a 6 million in profit t-shirt sales a year I'll be fucking amazed and apologize for doubting - but I know for a damn sure there ain't fuck all for Chris to do that Don Callis isn't already doing. - I don't even want to go how much that shit is draining the coffers with no return.. fucking +10 man faction drawing the numbers Dynamite and Collision does.
>>19739444Tony had give that 6 milly to Piccolo for his silence
>>19740015Maybe a Jericho retirement tour pushed as hard as NJPW pushed Tanahashi's.
>>19739444Hasn't Tony been on a hiring kick lately? Getting new toys. That doesn't reflect on Jericho's status but rather that Tony is very very nervous.The end could be closer than we realize.
>>19740015Does he? What if tonys other businesses (the NFL teams) etc or some shady abu dhabi business he owns will make up the cost. He probably has excess cash anyway.
