I kind of get annoyed with the “AEW is good for wrestling” arguments, because TK plundered the indies and everyone feels the crunch. But he’s also got some pretty key talent under lock which prevents them from actually contributing to wrestling too.
Keep your Moxley and Jericho. I get that you want them for AEW’s identity. And you can’t let everyone go. But what I wouldn’t give for Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe and FTR to be in an actual wrestling promotion right now. Imagine if ROH still existed and they made a play to put Danielson, Joe and Claudio against AEW? Maybe a guy like WALTER would have chosen wrestling outside WWE if it wasn’t basically them and AEW.
That would also provide talent with another place to go and freshen themselves up. It could also put more actual pressure on these shitty shows to get better.
