So this is basically a hobby/passion project/charity for him and not an actual business. Understood.
We joked about it before but he's really just Herb Abrams with a bigger bank account.

AEW is a damn near vanity project more than anything and I can't think talent, especially younger up and coming wrestlers who are about "the business" would want to sign/resign when the opportunity presents itself, especially if this is the owners mindset.

You would only sign if you can get a bag out of it.

Y'all say this like Vince loved pro wrestling and wasn't actively trying to turn the company into a movie studio lol

Yep. I'm not mad at them if they do, they just have to do so and not expect much of a career afterwards, just look at folks like Brian Cage and Miro.

The Kamile signing is funny to me though....TK signed her just to keep her away from WWE and he hasn't done anything at all with her yet. Lolz she tweeted and deleted a complaint about it the other day.

Take TK for the money while you can but don't get mad if your career ain't going no where.

Vince LOVED pro wrestling and entertainment. He saw Pro wrestling as a segment of the entertainment industry and wanted to grow an empire with pro wrestling as the foundation.

Big difference between Vince and Abrams (TK) is McMahon was a business man.

You talking about the same Vince that banned the very phrase "pro wrestling" from being uttered around his product? The same guy that wants us to believe no other feds exist beyond the one other major competitor he bought and owned the rights to? I'm sure he loved the spectacle and what it's afforded him but there's very little Vince did for the health of the business of wrestling itself.

Replace 'pro wrestling' with 'sports entertainment' and my point still stands.

Basically. Has to shake up the wrestlers there and you gotta hope he doesn’t lose interest. Seems like a good guy as far as having the money and the love for wrestling. But even the richest man hates losing money so it makes you wonder will he ever feel that from investors basically funding a passion project.

Yeah his love for wrestling I never questioned. His love was probably one of his biggest downfalls aside from being a piece of shit.

I always thought that. That's why I never understood why people would get mad about how he runs his company, using his family's money. I get it, that Tony sometimes confuses things by talking up the business aspects of it. But this i all fun and games to him. I don't fell bad for the talent because they are still getting paid and getting exposure.

Yeah I don’t think the wrestlers believe that though. Too many guys bleed wrestling there to play the role of action figure for him.

Mastermind2002, They had wrestle twice on AEW....They wrestle on Dynamite one time to promote that movie about their family!!..Also, they wrestle on Rampage or Collision(I don't remember) with Dustin Rhodes as their partner!!...

Those two are great in the ring and have the Von Erich presence. They should have been signed. Great for a tag team, and eventually singles.

The Willow/Statlander feud starts to cook.

Brother Mastermind2002, I have a question??....You think if Jamie Hayter or Britt Baker is not ready to wrestle and doesn't come back this year and they want to take the belt off Toni Storm..You think they will put the Women's World Title Belt on Willow??..

:lol: You can't make this shit up. So Mercedes is gonna win her second belt in only her third match back. Please somehow make this match end in a draw. Stephanie deserves better than this shit. I know why they're putting the belts on Mercedes. I don't have to like it though.



Once again it will be on some BS!!...

I DON'T AGREE with TK putting belts on Ospreay and Okada quick either. I've NEVER liked that style of booking.

Yep, TK should have done Ospreay, Okada, and Mercedes Mone like he did Adam Copeland!!..Let them wrestle a couple of matches. lose one or two matches and build them up to get a title belt!!..That's how TK should have done it
