Can't be understated how big of a deal that is for them.

Those two posts are right on the money. This is an amazing sign of faith from Jericho (since Vince is now going to be heartbroken), and it’s a huge “look at how serious we are”. Great bargaining chip for negotiating with New Japan too. Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi will also provide that if they sign.

Just don't brag about something like that and I would be fine with him signing there, but as it is him signing there just means he is full of shit and nothing he says means anything.
1. Jericho is a worker.

2. I don’t know if that’s “bragging.”

3. It might have been true at the time.

4. This says how big his move is

That said, it does hurt his credibility.

Neville signing does nothing for me. He is just a rehash character of what he was in WWE, with the addition of WWE held me back. That is the same gimmick every new Impact wrestler had from like 2005-2014.

Neville didn't move the needle as NXT champ, he didn't move the needle upon his WWE callup, and he only moved the needle as a cruiserweight because he actually had a character instead of being a spot monkey guy from the CWC.

If I am being honest, if they want to do something interesting, they need to sign some people that werent already "All In". Otherwise just say off the bat its gonna be the same people and move on.
What do you mean “move the needle”? That seems an odd expression to use for a dude in NXT and on 205 Live when receiving his pushes. Also, he wasn’t “All In”, and they got him. More will come.

$100 million is about as high as I thought they could possibly go. Good on them if that is the case. I wouldn’t even want to go as high as Vince, because I think it’s a more effective strategy to make his product overpriced so networks come down on him. That’s going to hurt him (if “hurt” is the right word) way more than anything else.
