Is this something that AEW themselves came out and said? Like some mission statement somewhere in black and white with the AEW logo front and center over it?
Yes."Focused on producing fast-paced, high-impact competitions, AEW Offers fans less scripted, soapy drama, and more athleticism and real sports analytics, bringing [a] legitimacy to wrestling that it has not previously had. "
From a press release less than a year ago.-

any talent Vince were to let go for not towing the line would be better off outside of WWE. The promo's alone would make them instant $$$. People are already looking for ways to get out of WWE and being let go would be a god send for many. I know the timing is shitty due to Corona but someone like Heath Slater or Spud can go on PWT and make a fortune right now if they aren't already.
Some of the female workers or former workers have discovered onlyfans. Renee Michelle is on there now and her content is the same as she has on her IG and she's getting $20 a pop from each person signed up. If your a female it's easy money. Melina is going to have one, JR tweeted out Sunny's, Shelly Martinez is there, and I'm sure others too. Easy $$$ for little work.
You're...saying they're better off working for what is essentially a porn website than working for six figures?
Kind of an odd position to take.
Something tells me a large number of WWE talent wouldn't agree.

Vince isn't going to fire you for not working these shows.
Vince isn't getting rid of anyone that refuses to work these shows.
You can repeat it all you like - WWE has a history of finding reasons to get rid of people when they want them gone. The clause that they can be released at any time is deliberately written into every single one of the talent contracts.Also, as all wrestling fans should know by now, termination is not the only form of reprisal available to WWE. They can and have irrevocably fucked up the careers of people that haven't towed the company line.

Are we back around to "Fuck Miz" again, like it isn't 100% clear that WWE's company culture is entirely to blame for that whole debacle?

Seriously. This was the single dumbest thing I have ever seen posted on these boards (and think of the ground that covers). The guy you are talking about. and were mocking the idea he is a "wrestling historian" has written more great books on wrestling history than just about anyone.
I still think "If you didn't accept PPV Main Eventer Balls Mahoney, you aren't a *REAL* ECW fan," posted by you, is way worse. Dial it down on the overdramatics now and then.-

Kind of just makes it a classic WWE dickhead babyface. Though the fans cheering for additional punishment during Drew's gimmick change can be blamed for that last bit. No big surprise that asshole fans want to cheer for an asshole.

I can't think of a better plan for the 24/7 title than to have Gronk leave with it and never bring it back.

Dawkins and Ford were kind of annoying on commentary,
6 hours ago, The Green Meanie said:Street Profits' commentary segment was pretty much unlistenable, at one point I just muted it due to how annoying they got.
This is the entire gimmick though, right? It was less egregious in NXT, but since day one they've really dove head first into the "being obnoxiously 'zany' is funny" Vince style of humor. -
I'm sure if you went back in time and started talking about how only Meltzer's Hall of Fame counts and WWE's isn't real, the person being spoken to would probably think "I'm going to walk away from this conversation and person."

WhatCulture just did a video on the 10 greatest squash matches and #1 was Goldberg vs La Parka from Nitro in June 1998. If you could go back in time and tell someone watching it that one of them would be a Hall Of Famer and headliner for decades and it's not Goldberg what would they think?
I'd probably wonder why I was traveling back in time to lie to someone.

The titles that are meaningless because WWE passes them around the roster like a hot potato. They don't affect Miz's paycheck. Someone has to eat the pin in a given title match too. Not everyone that loses a title is being punished.

No reason to assume that. Someone has to eat the pin in a given match.

They just released some of them. Slater turned everything they gave him gold, the Colons happily went from aborted gimmick to aborted gimmick.

Does the death toll make you feel hopeless too? Or is it just the burning economy?

I don't know how its talking out his ass when he says "I was told there will be no more main roster cuts"?
I didn't listen to the audio - I'm going by what y'all are saying here, which has morphed from "There will be no more main roster cuts" to "I think" to "I was told."
"I was told" is exactly how he needs to phrase most things.
-
So why doesn't Meltzer just *not* speculate if he doesn't know? I mean, fuck me for calling out Meltzer when he talks out of his ass I guess, but he could really easily solve that problem by deciding not to talk out of his ass in the first place.

Falling into another Great Depression will probably kill a lot more people than the virus.
I would love to see fewer people pull this talking point directly out of their ass.-

Just got around to watching this.
Note "JBL was wonderful to me and was like a big brother" vs. "Edge intentionally poured a drink on me on a plane"But we all have the full story on every wrestler because Meltzer, right?

Why are half of these people in the conversation? Paul Roma? Dino Bravo? Did you guys draw these out of a hat?

He wanted his country back!
And presumably wanted to finish up as a face, since he transitioned to backstage stuff almost immediately after this.
