>People activley rooting for a monopoly that seeks to undercut and underpay wrestlers and actively rooting against a guy who will pay wrestlers better salaries and give them leverage to to negotiate fairer pay
You are such fucking useful idiot goy cattle

>>20973790
It only took 2 years for the Jews to absolutely suck WWE dry
If or when AEW folds, wrestling will be a hellscape of underpaid shitters wearing advertising on their gear and their finishers will also be named after brands, like the Fruit Loop Slam
>>
>>20973790
WWE has never been a monopoly at any point in its existence, and will not be once AEW inevitably dies.
>>
>>20973890

just another 7 years yeah?
>>
>>20970816
Dave has no idea what a loss leader is

>>20970816
Total AEW propaganda, there’s nothing immoral about business competition so they have to frame it as WWE doing it explicitly to pay their employees less money to make it seem evil.
>>
>>20973790
e-drones are subhumans

>>20970816
AEW isn't leverage. AEW wrestlers get paid well because Tony is a literal money mark. WWE salaries haven't gone up outside of the top guys like Roman who were going to get paid regardless. Everyone else gets a take it or leave it mark contract offer from WWE. Like what Sasha got and turned down. They do not care about AEW except when they want to poach certain talent.
>>
>>20970816
WWE already cut salaries, the threat of going to AEW means nothing. All you have to do is see how Tony Khan books their shows, no performer who is serious about having a career in wrestling wants that.

You're so close to figuring it out.
>>

i dont watch aew anymore really but it undeniably was a good thing and even made wwetty put on good programming for a couple yeaars to try and counter, they've reverted back to slop again though

It's really not in WWE's interest for any other promotion outside of their control to be popular. Promotions have lost promotional wars before and ceased to exist because of it. It's just business and it's better to be the mean company who killed their competition than the nice company that got unseated. Just ask NJPW. They were the #2 promotion in the world then AEW came around and swatted them down hard.

WWE really messed up when they acquired WCW and did nothing with it. They should have done what Pepsi or Coke does - offer different brands. If you don't like Pepsi, you can drink Sprite. All they had to do was release a little control, let WWE owned WCW run on its own and see if they could make it work. It would have maybe pleased some former WCW fans, it could have served as some kind of developmental if and it would have been place for them to send disgruntled wrestlers or wrestlers who needed a break from WWE TV. If that other brand had existed, AEW maybe would have never came about.
>>
>>20974321
You do realize that prior to AEW every WWE wrestlers salary was capped at 1 million guaranteed. (Unless you were Brock in his second run but he always had leverage with UFC)

Then AEW came in and even IC champions earn more than that.
>>
>>20974691
I mean wasn't that their original plan with WCW and Invasion and have one show be WCW and other one WWF. But then the few WCW segments on Raw and Smackdown bombed so they cancelled those plans.

So then they made Raw and Smackdown different brands and tried to make them those alternative brands. Only to get mad when (the B-Show) Smackdown was beating (the A-Show) Raw due to Smackdown 6 being better than the reign of terror.
>>
>>20970816
This is what all the 'wrestlers need more places to work!' people wanted, right. Me, I just wanted a funny back and forth between WWE and a company with a a TV deal and similar amount of money. The moment that goes, I'll ignore wrestling again. Wrestling's only entertaining when there are 2 or more big companies being petty with each other.
>>
>>20974810
I think it was really half-assed. I don't know if anything would have really worked with how they went about it.

really tough couple weeks for the dronies.

Preach
>>
>>20970831
that's irrelevant because AEW has always operated on a loss.

This is also why counterprogramming AEW is the fucking dumbest retarded decision I've ever heard of in my entire time following wrestling. You're counterprograming a company that runs on the unlimited money of a billionaire. This is a guy that can give himself the luxury of running a failing soccer team, a failing football team, and a failing wreslting company, and STILL keep growing his fortune each year. Your counterprograming is just making you look like as retarded as those who hate watch AEW.
