Desperation, trying to impress stock holders, trying to impress Fox, looking for fall guys, Vince McMahon being badly out of touch, trying to prop up the falling ratings and attendance, take your pick of any of those. It is good timing for AEW to make a dent, they've already made a dent, stuff like putting Heyman and Bischoff in charge of RAW and Smackdown proves it, and they haven't even started on TV yet. I think they start in October, the same week Smackdown starts on FOX I read the other day. Not sure what night yet though, prob Wednesday. AEW is doing a free show tonight, you should check them out a bit if you're home. It's on BR live.
