Lol, they’ve upgraded the pay for talent? Vince is offering talent less money than he was 12 months ago BECAUSE AEW is not a threat. Rey Mysterio was low-balled. Christian, Big Show, Mark Henry and Sting took Trojan horse deals.
Remember how they implied wrestlers would be getting health insurance? Lol! Sorry, guys. Only the executives get that. We don’t want to blow up wrestling too much now.
In a non-monetary sense, AEW has a rather terrible track record of how they deal with concussions and other injuries on the fly. You are a mark if you believe this is a humanitarian promotion just because they blow you kisses.
Giant guaranteed salaries might be awesome for the talent that receive them, but for wrestling as a whole? They completely remove the incentive to actually produce good content. For fans, it’s pretty detrimental.
The criticisms of AEW are not because they’re “other.” It’s because they are another. Another trashy, self-indulgent promotion that thinks its shit doesn’t stink, produces pretty bad content, demands that it be perceived as good, and doesn’t give a fuck if it is only helping to further kill wrestling. As long as they get to have fun, show they are just happy to be there and make a truck-load of money, who cares about the next guy?
Holy shit that is such a shit Slik take.
