The REAL Reason All Elite Wrestling Could Change The Wrestling World

Cody noted (perhaps in response to odd pockets of gentle criticism) that the important takeaway from the rally was Chris Jericho's star turn, but most discerning observers predicted his involvement anyway. 'Y2J' spent the bulk of 2018 cultivating a mutually beneficial relationship with the BTE boys, and his status was cashed in on here. Comments from billionaire president Tony Khan and Chief Brand Officer (and on that title, it's either a dig at WWE or an inadvertent arm over their shoulder, and neither are necessary) Brandi Rhodes flirted with deeper discussion on what talents could earn but many fans want the meat on these bones, not all the old skeletons from wrestling's vast closet.

All Elite Wrestling is extremely well positioned to change the wrestling industry. The real reason - as promised to you in the title of this piece and delivered by the end, take note, AEW - is because they have the money not to have to do things the same way as every other failed startup over the past two decades. Khan's billions and the collected nous of a selected few shouldn't be mined for the same old sh*t, but for the industry's cleaner, brighter tomorrow

Conrad Thompson and Chris Harrington are positive influences that have been welcomed in from the outside. But use them, their skills, and their contacts well, not with the reckless abandon on show at the Jacksonville rally.

Yes Corad - yes, for f*cks sake yes I'm really excited about All Elite wrestling; you can stop asking such inane questions. You know your wrestling history, and should know why Roddy Piper's famous mantra is still trotted out today; Wrestling fans have already had all these answers before - AEW's job is to change the questions.
