“You’re hearing about prelim guys getting $400,000, $500,000 a year deals. Everyone deserves the money they make, but they never would have gotten that before and wouldn’t get it somewhere else. They can be ones who will never draw a dime. It doesn’t matter. Vince doesn’t want anyone coming to AEW. Doesn’t want there to be a mass exodus whether you are an opening match jobber or a main event Roman Reigns. He doesn’t want anybody to go.”
For Jericho, it is every bit a competition.
“This is a war,” he adds. “Even if you don’t want it to be, it just is. There hasn’t been any competition for WWE on a national basis for 20 years or more. I think this is something they didn’t really want, but it’s great for the fans and great for the guys. I think in the long run it’s going to make a difference because it gives people a choice. And it’s always good to have a choice.”
An important trait for any new company to have is standing out. Separating itself from what’s out there in the market. Jericho believes AEW’s television product will lean more into freer artistry from talent.
“I don’t think you are going to see an over-scripted type of show. We have no intention of being WWE lite,” he said. “WWE is the best in the world at what they do. We won’t be doing that. We have a different mindset. I think when you look at what goes on during a New Japan show. That might be what the in-ring product looks like when you think about the way it’s shot, and guys have a lot more input in what they’re doing from a creative standpoint and character standpoint.”

So TNA in 2019 has Disco Inferno, RVD, Sabu and Tommy Dreamer taking tv time, I wonder why this company is in the shape that it's in.
