Kenny Omega turns down WWE's offer

[Crash]

They need to sign some big guys. Little vanilla midgits don't draw

I agree with that but they do need both, The Big guys need the shorter guys and vice versa.

Apparently they are offering WWE levels of money. Prices for independents have gone up as well due to bidding war. The Elite and Hangman Page got offered big money and the freedom of an out clause in their contract (6 months) where if they were not happy they could leave. Problem is they are arguably bigger stars than any of the WWE homegrown with a few exceptions (Brock and Ronda are about it). If the difference in the offer is only a few hundred thousands or a million but you work 50%-80% less and you're on the wrong side of 30 (the ticking bump clock) it seems obvious.

Traditionally stars from other organizations are brought in to lose to "the guy" with a few exceptions although you can work your way up from the midcard but that can take 5-10 years.

Saying that the Bucks are bigger stars than most of WWE's talent is a bit of a stretch. If you say that about Omega, it makes a bit more sense but I could think of a number of guys who are bigger stars in the business than the Young Bucks. They also wouldn't work in the WWE setting at all, most of their brand is built on not being a part of WWE lol

Also, I wouldn't say that stars from outside of WWE are just there to lose to their top guys. If you look at the past couple of years, the whole "everyone from outside is bad" theory has lost most of its fuel. Not saying it doesn't happen but when a big signee is losing to their top guy, then it's probably because of different intentions and not to shit on their past. Nowadays they're more friendly towards working with these kinds of talents than ever before, especially with their plans of expanding the product worldwide

I mean, we all knew this was coming. If he joins AEW, hopefully it stays afloat long enough, but only time will tell.

Or, who knows, they could just keep shit hush-hush and he shows up at the Rumble, like AJ Styles did in 2016?
