    I just don’t understand keeping somebody you don’t want to use. It’s just stupid. I understand they signed the contract, but those contracts are crap. I also don’t run two multi-million-dollar sports franchises and don’t have all the data and info that TK has either but as an outsider, it looks McMahon levels of petty.

    What does losing Starks to WWE hurt? Nothing, Tony has something like 200 on the roster, and I think somebody calculated he only uses about 80 of them. Just cut your losses and send him packing, it’s a win-win because it saves AEW money to use on Final Countdown when Bobblehead Bryan wants to come back.

    Honesty, I know it’s not the popular opinion here, but I feel both Fenix and Starks are getting what they deserve. They signed these contracts.

      They did, but the issue with that is this is essentially the same lopsided contract every wrestling company has. If the contract can be cancelled at any time by the contractee and not the contracter then I’m going to have a hard time siding with the contractee in any situation.

    First Fenix, now this… FFS. If you’re not going to use them, let them go.

    I wouldn’t dream of comparing Tony Khan to Vince McMahon as a human being, but this is a Vince move.

      Tony needs therapy after CM Punk, and I’m not trying to be funny this time. That man is not responding well to being hurt.
