| 0:00.0 | Hello there, my very good friends, on today's wrestling news. |
| 0:02.9 | We'll talk the key difference between AW and WWE. Got more details on the new days, WW departure. Hashtag Hunter Fumbled. And I'm not sure if this is news, but still Eddie Kingston rules. It's funny, though, even if it isn't strictly news. And this is the after news. What's your name? I forgot my name. Yeah, what is your name? I don't know. How are they going to know your name if you don't say it? |
| 0:22.5 | I'm Will Cruz. |
| 0:23.5 | And I'm got my name. Yeah, what is your name? I don't know. |
| 0:21.0 | How are they going to know your name if you don't say it? |
| 0:22.5 | I'm Will Cruz. |
| 0:23.1 | And I'm Mason Rook. |
| 0:25.0 | And this is the after news. I'm happy. No, I'm not. Love him. Love him. If you don't know now you know. You're now legend of the game. Him and Lizzie Rain. |
| 0:32.9 | Yes. |
| 0:33.6 | Right, let's kick this one off by talking about the key difference between AW and WW at the moment. |
| 0:39.7 | When it comes to contracts, when it comes to talent, when it comes to the current landscape of pay cuts and people being released early and all this stuff that we've been talking about for the past couple of days. You've been talking about it for longer, but we had a public holiday weekend. That's why we weren't here on Monday and stuff like that. Playing catch up. We are playing catch up. |
| 0:56.0 | A report here from PW Insider and it's just kind of reiterating something that you could kind of already infer, but I'm going to read it to you from Mike Johnson here. |
| 1:05.0 | Saying for all the talk about AEW good or bad, Tony Cam pretty much pays out every penny that he's |
| 1:12.1 | promised to his talents on their deals. With WWE, unless you are Roman Reigns, you are at their |
| 1:18.1 | behest, especially in the weeks after WrestleMania and the weeks leading to quarterly earnings |
| 1:22.7 | and announcements. Hell, even if you have an existing deal, you might be asked to restructure |
| 1:28.1 | against your best interest. So I think it's an interesting thing to bring up like the |
| 1:32.2 | contrast between these two approaches because if you, the key thing is if you're going to |
| 1:38.3 | sign an AW contract and it's for five years and you're paid X, you can bet on that basically, right? |
| 1:44.6 | He's, unless something ridiculous happens, you're not going to be cut early. |
| 1:49.9 | That's evidently not the case in WWU at the moment where a bunch of people last week, |
| 1:54.4 | or two weeks ago, sorry, and last week, were let go before their agreed terms because of |
