AEW is a clown show. You go there and while the money is good, you realize you have lowered yourself professionally. Going to a place where you can’t be proud of your work can crush your soul. Artists or athletes sitting on the bench wasting their prime years is frustrating too. Is the money a fair trade off? For some it might be, but you see how bonkers some people are going in AEW.
There’s a difference between taking money and making money. Penta made a fair bit of coin in AEW, but it would be a different feeling to when those first merchandising royalties come in and you realize that you matter to people.
Rusev and Black were both trained in the WWE system. They work out and take the aesthetic side of the business somewhat seriously. That makes them a target for jealousy and bitterness in the first place. When asked to do something stupid they asked “why?” or just flat-out said it was stupid.
Oh, and they were both friendly with CM Punk. That’s a big crime.
Meltzer and Alvarez regurgitate nonsense about WWE programming. It’s propaganda to make pride in your profession sound bad.
