That wasn't hard. It was still bad. And Triple H's answer was basic corporate bullshit, weighing positive and negative, as if people's lives are numbers. No word for the victim. No empathy. No condemnation. Nothing. Fuck these people. Fuck this company.
And yeah. The amazing "Star making machine", uh ? Their hottest star is Cody Rhodes. And without AEW, they don't get that Cody Rhodes. The other one ? CM Punk. And without AEW, they certainly don't fucking get CM Punk back, ever. (as far as him looking old and tired, this is on par with the report of his house-show stuff)
And then what's the event of the women's Rumble. Jade Cargill. Without AEW, they don't get Jade Cargill, not that Jade Cargill (by that I mean, already made and known to the audience).
WWE wants to be the big bad wolf and kill everyone, but the reality is that they always profit from the fact they get a healthy competition. Nothing outside of WWE exists or matters, but Jordynne Grace and Naomi hugging then facing off, as they did in TNA, got a bigger pop than a shitload of nothing happening in the match.
One year after being organically the hottest star in the business, Sami Zayn is fan service.
But it doesn't really matter. It's all pretty irrelevant. Because like Triple H said "We gotta focus on the positive". The positive ? You mean the money you get to sport-wash the Saudi regime, or some other positive ? The fact no one's asking you if you knew about your father in law being a rapist and sexual criminal maybe. Maybe that's a positive, because the answer may be ugly.
