Re: All Elite Wrestling and Double or Nothing officially announced
Yeah, I think it will. Of course as you said you have to have TV but I don't know if we've seen a money mark the likes of Tony Khan in a long time. Supposedly a big fan going back to the WCW days we probably have a guy who can compete with WWE for talent with good money, less days to work and hopefully better creative. I don't think it can compete with WWE per say as a brand but hopefully it will be some real competition as to legitimate places to work for guys languishing on the mid-card in WWE and what top indy names that remain unsigned. Whether or not they can get a working relationship with New Japan will be important. And how long Khan is willing to lose money is another factor. His family has deep pockets so I expect he'll stay interested for awhile. But like The Elite or not, today's modern fan love their meme-inducing style for the most part. This definitely has a buzz in the wrestling world and I think it's a good thing for wrestling overall.
