Couple of AEW Questions

By Scott Keith on 4 January 2019

Hi Scott,

Is there 1 person that AEW could sign or 1 big thing they could do in the short term that would make WWE legit panic? Or are the WWE so bulletproof at this point that it will take years and thousands of brilliant decisions on AEW's part in order for WWE to even take any notice of them.

Also how do you think AEW should go about handling talent negotiations if WWE also appears to be interested? I doubt they can compete on a financial level so what kind of things would you be saying to try and sway them into joining? Lighter schedule? Some freedom in regards to independent bookings? More creative control over their characters?

Thanks.

Probably all of the above. And I bet there's a LOT of guys in WWE who would interested in jumping ship and are just too complacent in the current system to do so. Regardless, I don't think that's gonna be their strategy anyway. The Elite stuff has always been based on new underground characters like Adam Page coming to the forefront, not recycling WWE guys.
