Thanks for the history lesson I was there though.I mean, I don't think you're actually here in good faith but it's simple.
Most of the folks here quit watching wwe years ago through a combination of bad product and the McMahons being horrible humans who have covered up rapes, murders, took Saudi blood money and were closely aligned with shitty conservatism all the way to funding the 'stop the steal' rally.
The majority of early AEW fans were either watching NJPW and came to appreciate Kenny and the bucks or fell off wrestling completely.
Cody for 3 years has talked about being better than all that. Wanting to make a better product and be better and uaher in a new era. Talked about how Sting was misused. His fathers legacy tarnished. How he and his brother were cast aside and couldn't wrestle a tribute match to dusty. It's why he smashed the throne. He was speaking directly to a lot of us who shared the exact frustrations he was giving voice to.
Now he's on a plane to Saudi Arabia to take money from people we all mostly consider to be vile but who Cody himself said the same about.
That either means Cody's anti-wwe stance was purely performative or unprincipled which isn't going to buy him a lot of benefit of the doubt around here.
That's not to say Kahn is good and we can get I to an entire argument about ethical consumption in capitalism but you aren't going to find many folks on Era that are going to be sympathetic to WWE or someone seemingly casting aside espoused values for money or power (or both).
He can go get paid. It's fine. But I'm not going to defend the move.
How about leaving because you were blatantly lied to. You simply have a better view of Khan (and possibly the Bucks and Kenny) and his role in why this happened than I do. You don't have to defend him but I'm not gonna shit on him when I feel he got legitimately slighted and potentially eventually more people I enjoyed from the first 2 years of Dynamite will get slighted because Khan wants a hiring spree and just signs people then they go missing for months
