Money was a very big issue in TNA. lol. Dixie Carter wasn't using her money. She was using her parents money, who ran Panda Energy. They knew the writing was on the wall for their daughters pet project so they cut financial ties to her daughter. --- https://imgtc.com/i/5CTKeaL.jpg https://imgtc.com/i/G9w39yE.gif <cite>DirkDiggles posted [p:922390061] in AEW ending...

Biggest problem I have with pro wrestling nowadays is the spamming of big moves every single time. Back then, seeing a 450 splash once in awhile for me was like, holy shit, that was incredible. Now it's, "Again? What, this guy does it too? And this guy as well?" Nowadays, it's more rarer to see a guy throw a solid punch, than a 360, 450, 720, razzo dazzo flip flop super splash.</quote> Money was a very big issue in TNA. lol.

VipaGTS 05/26/19 10:58:36 AM #33:	What also didnt help TNA was she was using that money just to run a show based on nostalgia. She was paying top dollar for old washed up wrestlers just to get peoples attention, and then doing nothing to capitalize on that attention. From the sounds of it AEW is going to try and avoid that trap. --- "I devour urine just like my Portland Trailblazers, with piss poor defense." <cite>VipaGTS posted [p:922390106] in AEW ending...

CRON 05/26/19 11:09:54 AM #36:	The only people who are criticizing it were people who disliked the pre-show, and WWE fanboys. I haven't been following wrestling in 15+ years, but very recently I tried getting back into it. WWE has its merits but seems like it's in complete disarray at the moment. AEW seems like an interesting clean slate that's professional, not tacky, and good enough to draw people back in. I loved the Cody/Dustin match, the Lucha Bros. were awesome and some of their lower-tier talent like Sonny Kiss seem promising. --- ~ (obligatory signature) ~ <cite>CRON posted [p:922390451] in AEW ending...

Not to mention that the money issues and them signing locker room tumors to huge contracts, forcing Samoa Joe and Bobby Rude to leave.

Because, unlike Carter, he has two successful sports teams and a actual wrestling fan. Using his spare play money and hiring the actual talent to drive the ship instead on relying on people who don't know the business to tell you what you need to do. (see Dixie Carter and WCW for examples) I seriously doubt they will throw money around like WCW and Carter did. They aren't going to throw millions of dollars to the likes of a Hogan for a two month ratings hike. --- https://imgtc.com/i/5CTKeaL.jpg https://imgtc.com/i/G9w39yE.gif <cite>DirkDiggles posted [p:922391943] in AEW ending...
