WWE is an awful, terrible company. But at some point, the fed-pilled talent must take some responsibility. They underpay because they can. When huge stars like Stephanie Vaquer & Mariah May take big paycuts to leave AEW, I can't blame WWE.

Ppl have agency and constantly making excuses for ppl who have more than enough information to make a sound judgment just lets them off the hook for making intentionally bad choices. ALSO - WWE is the worst company, ever. 2 things can be true at the same time. Very cromulent point.

That fed cult pull is STRONG.

Finally, someone besides me is saying it. Professional wrestlers seem to lack self-preservation instincts and care more about making money for their bosses than themselves.

I understand Stéphanie wanting to move away as far as possible from the CMLL world. But Mariah, she had everything, she threw it all away, her name, her identity, to be devellopemental. It's terrible.

I think it is like the Real Madrid situation in Association Football. When you were younger your favourites played there and that's what made you start training. Sadly it makes you blind to any exploitation surrounding it and your fans will reject your decision and think of you as a fraud for it

I used my job at McDonald's to get to BK which is where I always wanted to be. Why do y'all want people to stay somewhere they don't want to be?

I think it’s good they underpay people and i hope they continue to do it more and more. No one who works there should get any sympathy.

yup.
if they're basic enough that they just pick the biggest company, that's on them.

Actions have consequences. It sucks that none of them seem to have someone in their lives to tell them that staying with the Fed is a net negative.

This topic makes me want to peek 10-15 years into the future to see how the dynamic shifts. At a certain point, WWE nostalgia will no longer be a major factor for younger talent who also had AEW as an option growing up. What will AEW nostalgia look like? What other promotions will be new contenders?

Stephanie Vaquer was never contracted to AEW.
And if Mariah May took a paycut, and presumably was happy to - then that says more about AEW's failures than it does about WWE.
Business is business.

They take massive pay cuts because they somehow think "exposure" from a company like WWE is more important than morals.
