I said IF they’ve bungled the New Japan deal.

Anthem owns AXS, which is the channel that now airs New Japan. Again. AXS also owns Impact Wrestling, who is a competitor of AEW. Jay White appearing on Dynamite, probably for a large sum of money, doesn’t really stir me. We haven’t seen anyone of any real note in AEW yet. People keep blaming Covid, but isolation 10 days either way doesn’t make it impossible. We’re 2 years into borders being closed now and the world’s economies doing their best to factor in this new world. AEW has gotten, who? Minoru Suzuki and KENTA? Is Suzuki even signed to an exclusive New Japan deal?

We’ll see what happens. I’m just not going to be shocked if you never see Tanahashi, Okada or Ibushi in AEW, or if New Japan starts using gaijin from places other than AEW, because it makes logical sense to help out other promotions as opposed to the one that popped up and made it harder for anyone else to have gain or retain any traction.
