Let’s see them renegotiate so they get a portion of the house and their merchandise money only. See how they feel about guaranteed contracts then.
DORKS.

"I'm not saying guaranteed contracts are a bad thing, but here's why guaranteed contracts are a bad thing." Can these two please just f*** off already? And anyone else who has the carny backwards mindset that guaranteed contracts are somehow a bad thing. Edit: OMG I just now realized that this was part of FTR's "Close Up with Renee" episode. Who in AEW thought it was a good idea to upload an interview done with Renee in which one of the top tag teams in the company buries the younger generation for being "not as hungry", and also in which the tag team buries the concept of guaranteed contracts?? Who was it, cause they deserve to be fired. Unless it leads to a young team f***ing obliterating them, it's pointless.

I fluctuate between “This guy is a maroon” to “Meh he just gets a bit high strung at times, people including myself are too hard on him”
The dude is the same age as me but this whole “Dem young kids” is such BS. Some will coast absolutely, some will work their asses off and get the recognition they deserve and unfortunately some will work their asses off and not get the recognition. It’s the same for every bloody generation because if he’s trying to say that not a single wrestler his age has the “I’m happy just to collect my salary” every week and doesn’t have a particular hunger then he’s just a flat out moron. Also ironically something that happens every generation thinking the one after it is soft/lazy/weak
Also you can’t complain about what a cesspool social media is all the time and then constantly get into arguments with troll assh***s. Use some of your guaranteed contract money and hire a social media manager if you want to use it to promote or something…..Dumbass

What a couple of f***in' weirdos. Usually I think they're overhated, but they both sound really dumb here.

The dang younger generation! f***ing idiots. You guys aren't from the god damned territory days... they were both Dead for like 20 years before you started wrestling.... hell you never f***ing wrestled in a major promotion without a guaranteed contract. You are talking 100% out of your ass.

If I were TK and I read those comments, I'd have The Outrunners beat FTR in a match so fast that it would make Lesnar/Kingston on the SD Fox debut look like a competitive back-and-forth match in comparison.

I, too, hate younger people wanting better working standards for doing a dangerous job. Bastards.

Back in Dax's day they used to beat the shit out of brats with a monthly wage and make them poor, so they'd have to join the army and go to Vietnam to grow up and pay their dues.

They are just jealous because the Outrunners are younger than they are.

I think I kinda get what he's saying and I don't think it's as crazy as he sounds. It's that guys work to get that first deal and then stop. That they don't realize that contact will end and they aren't guaranteed a second or third and he's not wrong. We hear about people not taking stuff seriously or ignoring the agents or vets which will end up costing them down the line. Look at the issues with Sammy or going to WWE, Gable Steveson. Sammy has been in trouble numerous times because he gets careless or doesn't listen to the higher ups. Steveson, ignoring his off the field issues, was criticized for not putting in the work in the ring out studying and when his deal came up WWE let him go and he's got nothing now. There are countless people who want that spot so you have do things to earn the next deal.

It’s pretty clear that he’s talking about the idea that some people become complacent and don’t think about how the contract they have in the present doesn’t mean one will be guaranteed in the future. That getting the bag now doesn’t mean you won’t have to prove why you’re worth getting that bag, and that if you don’t justify it the first time it may not happen a second time.
They’re not saying people shouldn’t be able to get these contracts in the first place.
I don’t understand why some of y’all just insist on the most bad faith interpretations of literally anything these guys say. Like yeah, the whole “this younger generation doesn’t get it blah blah blah” thing is cringe, but there is a real point being made here.

Or people understand the point being made and disagree with that. Just a thought.

He's saying guaranteed contracts means young wrestlers don't want to work as hard to prove their worth for the future, with zero evidence of that.
