Why is this company filled with dimeless midgets if Tony Khan is spending $100M a year on payroll and listens to Jim Cornette’s podcast on repeat every week. He should be poaching 6’7” monsters from other sports if he’s dropping that much dosh on talent. He needs to invest in a Power Plant type facility to develop outside talent if he’s already pissing money away on drama club geeks.

Here’s how you fix this shitshow
>Invest in real athletes
>Pay top dollar to actual talented agents/producers instead of donating paychecks to Mr Dimeless Ass and Stinko “Never-Drew-A-Dime” Malenko
>Fire all the gooks
Do all this and they will be back in millytown and might actually put some butts in the seats. If they’d just shift away from the midgets they could squash TKikeO

AEW was not founded as a way to compete with WWE, generate revenue or fill seats. It was started, and exists today, solely as a way to pacify the autistic fixation of indybotch gymnastic wrestling of one Pakistani manchild. It’s a human toybox. A wrestling zoo if you will.

I've been saying similar things from the start. Even if he doesn't want the next Hulk Hogan, he could get like 10 new Kenny Omega's for a cheap price who might be able to wrestle for him for the next decade. If he insists they have to Japanese trained, then just send them to NJPW for a year or two. Then he won't have to poach anyone's stars again and have wrestlers wrestle the exact way he wants.

He truly believes that all that matters is how good matches are despite reality constantly reminding him that it doesn't.

I went into a rabbit hole in youtube and apparently it's a pakistani thing to have this "human zoo" phenomenon and is a sign of status and prosperity.

Don't believe me? Look up a channel called zamzam electronics. They are two paki twins who own some electronic chain store and dabbles in estates in Dubai. But their channel mostly consists of shorts with skits involving different kind of freaks. Some oogly eyed african kid. Indian siamese twins. Some fat turkish guy who bounces his belly. Some paki dwarf moustache man. A 7 foot tall bangladesh boy.

There are other channels often with some rich paki having a freak entourage constantly following him because they get paid. They also show off their tigers and lions and stuff.

I'm giving this long winded explanation of a specific cultural behavior that I happened to discover myself, because once I discovered it, Tony Khan's behavior made so much sense. He, ie his dad, have so much fucking money that AEW is just a personal human zoo collection. They do the same in other sports collecting athletes for fun like the Jaguars. For me this was eye opening.

1. The Elite and most of these indie guys have PTSD from big guys nearly bullying them out of the business.
2. Big guys today are mostly dimeless, too. Look at Braun Strowman and all the gristleheads in NWA Power and TNA.

They don't know how to gimmick. They don;t know how to talk, and they're all sensitive.

This, they never got over it and now have the power to enact revenge and bury every hoss type Tony signs or keep them perpetually in the midcard

The Bucks are older millennials but millennials nonetheless and millennials are known for being completely petty faggots who never let a grudge go

Also you're right that everyone in the business is too fucking sensitive these day

Tony's chief advisor is Dave Meltzer. Do you really think Tony went out of his way to poach the likes of Ishii and Shibata from NJPW himself? No, it was because Dave told him to sign those guys. It is well known that Dave has had a huge hard-on for Ishii over the years.

Are you fucking serious in thinking those guys would be any better than the average AEW signing
>Jacob Fatu
Cancerous. WWE has the balls to keep him on a leash and his legal troubles wouldn't follow him there because WWE has excellent PR. Tony could never, and Fatu in AEW would end up being a laughing stock who is considered emblematic of everything wrong with the company: a fat flippy midget neposhitter and shoot criminal working a money mark and causing trouble backstage.
>Alexander Hammerstone
Hammerstone is bad. A zero-charisma indie shitter with muscles is still a zero-charisma indie shitter. See also: Brian Cage.

Your god Kike Meltzer

>“Mike Mansury filed forms for tax credits in Nevada listing the expresses for the TV taping and Double or Nothing PPV show on 5/24 and 5/25. The key number was $2 million in salaries, which would include all talent and other workers.”

>”Since talent is paid based on annual contracts, this would indicate the total talent number to be in the range of $104 million per year, which is very high. Someone familiar with the budgeting said that the way pay is done for some includes per match figures and all the highest paid available top guys were working that weekend and the usual weekly pay is below that figure. Still I’d safely put it at below the $104 million, but not a lot below it.”

>$104 MILLION DOLLARY DOOS

I don't agree or disagree with the statement here but I'm glad someone else finally makes the Smackdown Six connection with AEW. The one time AEW attempted an actual brand split (Punk era Collision) you can tell they were poorly using that era as a blueprint and it fell apart quickly
>Main angles revolve around the booker (Punk, Heyman w/ Brock)
>Boring but competent booking
>The brand is defined by 3 handpicked tag teams who spend weeks wrestling long forgettable matches in different combinations
