this is where we disagree. AEW is The Elite, and I think if they leave yoour losing a lot more than just the people who came back for punk (still like a few 100k tho). if they screw the elite, you risk alienationg your entire core fanbase. obviously i an speak for myself as a day 1'er but I dont think it would go over well with the fans or the locker room. plus hhh snaps all of them up. just suicide
I agree they made AEW, but outside naming the company after them, it’s bigger than a tag team and the best bout machine. Kenny was talking about retiring recently.
Life for AEW after Elite is coming.
Just right now you do have Danielson who could take a top spot, Adam Cole, MJF, Wardlow, Moxley (gross), maybe even Eddie Kingston and tag team wrestling is no problem. I do agree with the Elite’s entire audience left, it would be a problem, but I don’t think they’d all go. That said, AEW picked up a ton of people that learned the Elite existed through AEW. Those fans will stay around.
Now, I agree HHH taking them would be a hella blow to AEW and whatnot. That would be crazy to see.
