I haven’t seen the second one you’re referring to, but I think Paul’s point was the more money for less dates but yeah it is a very funny thing to talk about like it’s a negative.
and yeah, I should have clarified, when I said NJPW I kind of meant by way of AEW and forbidden door stuff. that's on me
Seems like kismet!
he's referring to Punk, I believe, with the guaranteed money bad stuff
Punk on Ariel's interview said he thinks guaranteed money is ruining the business bc the Bucks didn't wanna work with him. That convinced him they should go back to only getting a check if the house is good even tho all the money is in media rights now not gatesKross Rhodes said:
Gotcha.
Yeah, Punk is also talking from a old school business standpoint because he wants to help grow the house, but I feel this is also why he said almost because I don’t think the talent themselves can do anything to improve this for AEW.
But yeah, just funny overall. It feels calculated now that Punk did this interview and then Hunter talks about it. It’s like Hunter asked Punk to do this interview to drum up interest mania weekend. It’s so ass backwards, though. Worry about mania.
Maybe this is why punk hates Nash so much. Nash pretty much shepherded in the modern era concept of guaranteed money for everyone.
yea has you said, backwards is a good word. Drumming interest for mania by spending two hours on the competition is not the way !
Yeah, I have no doubt that thinking about the Bucks sent him into an absolute rage. But I will say that I don’t think he spoke anything necessarily he wouldn’t have said otherwise. Even when him and AEW were on good standing points, a lot of his talking points and promos and interviews would be about how he popped ratings, he increased attendance, how he got $1 million gate etc.Personally I think he just gets that heated when he thinks about the Bucks and sees red that he says shit like that without thinking and wouldn't have if he wasn't full of rage thobut it doesn't change now that it's starting to be a pattern in WWE interviews
He was in the WWE when that was like the selling point like Hunter is trying to do here where like the onus of selling the venue is on the boys even though to me WWE as a brand pretty much sells the house these days.
But yeah, with it being more common in WWE interviews, I do think there might be some kind of a group effort.
I think they might be making a bit of a mistake with this attitude as well, a lot of people have friends in AEW and have partners there or worked there themselves. I don't think, for example, slightly talking shit about Okada is gonna make him consider signing with you when this contract is up. Catch more flies with honey, as they say!
