Is there anything positive you can say about AEW?
Sure, there are a lot of great people that work there, on both sides of the camera. They deliver a product that their fan base loves. They give people a place to work. And if I am being honest, Tony Khan’s behavior gives me a lot to talk about here on the site. Whether you laugh with him or at him, it’s content.
Given the general agreement that Tony Khan is a lousy booker and is driving AEW down the proverbial crapper, who would you say would be better at handling the book?
Honestly? There are a lot of people. He’s so bad that a lot of people would be better. It’s a waste of time to pick replacements when he won’t step down.
I talked about this with a buddy of mine and we need a professional answer (Condition: the answer can't be "neither" or similar): With Vince McMahon selling Stock after Stock, who would you rather See book AEW: Tony Khan or Vince (somehow) buying his way into AEW?
Easily, Vince. He isn’t a good booker but Tony is a terrible booker.
Why is Will Ospreay mad at HHH? Didn’t Ospreay do tons of interviews saying he signed with AEW for a lighter schedule? Doesn’t logic dictate if you want to work less, you don’t want to grind?
Well yes, sane people would indeed think that way. Will talked about that very thing, for him to now get up in arms about it is comical (and leads me to believe he went to work at the right place since tantrums from adult children are part of the culture of the company). Maybe his Uncle Dave got him fired up about the comment. I have seen Old Dave spinning that yarn on social media. I don’t know what goes through the heads of adults who act like pre-teens. Here’s the best part, HHH didn’t say a thing about Will Ospreay by name. He made a general comment. Will (and his Uncle Dave) took it as a shot, which means that Will probably thinks that he doesn’t want to grind. If it wasn’t true about him, he wouldn’t react to it right? You could make a statement about Wrestling’s Dave who is out of touch and pushes his agenda as factual while never owning up to being wrong and you wouldn’t get any response from me because it doesn’t pertain to me. Did HHH mean Ospreay when me made the comment? Maybe. But he didn’t mention him by name so if he did, he once again proved much smarter he is than Will and his Uncle Dave. If he meant it that way, he got them to react like babies to something that he never actually said. That would make them children who took the bait, if that was indeed HHH’s intention. Either way, since HHH never mentioned Ospreay by name, they look like a couple of goofs.
Since I've not heard anyone else talking about this as of yet, though I'd get your opinion on it. The FTC voted to ban noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs. The pro wrestling business has had these agreements in contracts for a very long time now. It's almost ingrained and expected. Assuming it stands up in court, do you think this will hurt the business as a whole? Or will the companies find another method of achieving the same idea? Thanks for any thoughts.
It’s my understanding at this point that since WWE pays the talent over those three months where they don’t work, they will be fine. I am not a lawyer, but that is my general understanding. They aren’t forcing them to sit home and not be paid.
