You cannot defend this. Someone will inevitably try, but you can't.

Also I love the term Clean Energy Drink so much for the implication of dirty energy drinks loaded with rocks and dust

If the deal is as fightful says, TK has signed a sponsorship deal with the only benefit being a 74 year old man who adds nothing.
TK and AEW wont be paying anything to Flair if we go what Fightful said with that drinking company covering his salary.
That's corporate doublespeak for "AEW is going to pay WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! energy drink for sponsorship rights, then WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! energy drink is going to pay Flair with that same money," right? |

"but other promoters are doing much worse stuff than I am!" I mean rape is still worse than giving Ric Flair money They can both be disgusting at the same time. You don't try and sit on your moral high horse and pull this shit 3 weeks later. |

Make sure he doesn't have a match. If he does, it's a failure

The issue isn't financial though...Khan can cover that and the company is private...The issue is the image hit AEW likely will be paying for. |

Are they paying AEW too, on top of Flairs contract? If not... |

Well no the Fightful report says Woo is paying enough to AEW that they'll be able to pay him back most of his contract off of that sponsorship so it's not technically costing the company much if anything for him to be there. That's very different from Woo paying Ric to be at AEW and also means AEW has landed a sponsorship deal where they're using it to break even with a guy's contract, thereby only gaining a subsidized Ric Flair in the arrangement. |

i'll probably take a few days to think about this and the thoughts that come to mind immediately is that billionaires always remind you of who they are at some point, these full gear tickets feel dirty and also i guess i'll just boo the shit out of him in the next few weeks
i don't know man, this pisses me off way more than anything aew has had to deal with, even with that huge thread. i hate this dude on another level

Yup, well put! AEW have signed an intrusive sponsorship deal and in return have got Ric Flair. If that report is accurate. |

I miss the days when AEW's biggest "WTFs" were involving the Cody-Verse.

I mean, Kendrick also spewed a bunch of Holocaust denial bullshit on the record in a shoot, so there's that. |

Pretty much this will only be worth it is if Khan says to him "Look, there is no multi-year deal but here's all the energy drink money. Get yourself a home in the Bahamas and a 17th wife and stay well away from wrestling".
