That pretty much nails Jericho. He’s completely sold out what he once laid down as his artistic principles. To say “lost in the sauce” is right.
I get people want an alternative to WWE. I do too. I really do. I really hope something falls out in the coming months, years, etc. A lot of guys have a lot of money now. A network could get interested but not want to go into business with a pre-existing party. Hell, Punk could start his own splinter cell promotion when he heals up and maybe some AEW guys like FTR, MJF, Wardlow, Starks, Hobbs and Miro get free.
Splinter Cell Wrestling has got a ring to it. SCW was the name of the territory Joe Blanchard used to run. Could be a good homage if they can use those initials in a promotion with Tessa Blanchard (on good behavior watch) as the top female star. Plus you’ve got “SC,” “Second City.” It’s the promotion born from the fire of AEW. Just some branding ideas.
But anyway, I hope something shakes up this paradigm, because WWE as monopoly isn’t good and AEW isn’t cutting it.
