Also as far as the main topic, none of AEW’s signings or match stips have shocked me at all. If Tony Khan had enough swing to get a Chris Jericho, to me I felt he could have almost any talent he wanted. If say, Cena or Randy Orton signed with AEW, I’m sure the stories of how their negotiations with Vince fell apart would be interesting, but I’d never say “that’s impossible “.
I’m way more surprised by stuff that’s happened generally off-television or were more unarguably organic developments, like Punk refusing to take the chip off his shoulder despite AEW handing him everything he ever wanted, how the tolerant attitude of the (admittedly younger) fanbase has defied the “dumb red necks” stereotype, the shifting direction of certain characters and storylines due to backstage stuff, how they got 80,000 into Wembley at such an early period in their run, etc.
