I like how everybody keeps talking about creative freedom.
You honestly think all these guys are just gonna be able to do whatever they want?
There are no details at this point, but the fact that they are selling AEW merch at prowrestlingtees suggest it is gonna be a new Indy promotion, not a new wrestling company.
The more I think about it, the more it feels like isn't really gonna be some new big thing.
It's one thing to put on a big show twice a year, btw are they going to truly draw people in week after week.
Either they have to be very good at being very different than WWE, or they will run the same course as TNA with an older roster.
You can't just throw a bunch of money into a wrestling company and assume it is going to be good and make money.
WCW made an actual profit maybe 2 or 3 years only, and that was back when there were only maybe 60 cable channels. And ultimately throwing a bunch of money into gave a short term return, but then it ended up losing more then it ever had.
AEW will be cool for a bit, then unless they really catch fire with a few things, it will just end up being to much to sustain, especially if they are giving multi million dollar guarantees to a roster full of top Indy guys.
In the end, hopefully it will push WWE to work harder instead of just sitting on their ass knowing they are guaranteed to turn a huge profit every year for the next 5 years no matter what they do.
