Has TNA just turned into Callis trying to give his friends contracts now?
Bunch of ECW guys, Konnan and Disco which will inevitably play into their 'real life heat' or some worked shoots trash. Attempts to sign Jericho. All the while other talent is slipping out the back.

Option 2 would be the Hardyz if they decide to leave after Mania once their contracts expire. Matt Hardy already has career killing injuries in his lower back, Jeff is also heading that way. They won’t sacrifice their final years on impact. And Matt's in good with Triple H. He was a big reason that JB got hired, and JB has become one of Triple H's guys. Wouldn't be shocked if Matt gets onto creative in the near future.

Mid-seven figures.

And half a chewed up Casey Jones. Sorry, my dog got to it.
That's mid-seven figures, you down?
Edit: Dammit, I got beaten to the punch.

"In my mind, from a pure business standpoint, I'm worth as much as Brock Lesnar at this point in time to WWE as far as what I bring to the table, that was just the watermark I had." Jericho's said some stupid shit, mang, but this is a new level. Jericho once tried to fight Brock Lesnar after a very obviously staged wrestling spot that he thought was a shoot. He's a bigger mark than we are, even by wrestler standards.

If he’s so valuable why Vince passed on the cruise?

Bullshit
For 4 matches, no way Jericho turns that deal down if he really got that deal

Attempts to sign Jericho. All the while other talent is slipping out the back. It would be nice for Callis to do so seeing both he & Jericho admit the only reason Callis has his current role in impact is because when anthem took over and Jericho found out their owner was a guy from Winnipeg named Leonard Asper with a ton of money Jericho reached out to him and started giving him suggestions after awhile after he gained the guys trust he suggested that Callis & D’Amore run the company and he went for it.If Impact was a bigger deal I think he might have gone but seeing its not he used them to bump up his worth and it gives Callis & D’Amore something in their back pockets that hey we’re friends with Jericho maybe we can talk him into signing with Impact down the line heck for the 1st year Callis mentioned Jericho on commentary on every show.

Anthem has the money. They just choose to not throw it away when having no TV deals.
But I don't hate it, pick one high profile guy with a name and pay him for a few appearances. It's not like before when they would spend too much money on even second-tier guys like Mr. Anderson and Bully Ray, etc...plus the big salaries like Hogan, Angle, etc...this would be just one guy and maximizes his appearances. Cause right now they have zero eyes on the product.

With the Saudi and Fox money, they could pay him that much but as has been mentioned in the thread, he's not worth anything like that to WWE (or AEW tbh, I hope they're not overpaying guys already)

Yeah... Taking this with a dump truck of salt. Impact aren't throwing money at 'names' in general these days and Jericho has never missed an opportunity to hype himself up through economies of truth.
I could see Dixie doing it, but it doesn't fit with current Impact management at all. Most likely, he got Callis to say he was worth that to manipulate AEW's money mark, a-la Hulk Hogan in 1998.

Yes he’s got a massive ego but let’s face it... Jericho is a massive boost for AEW.
