It's obvious what they mean, if you are a mid carder you will get paid less then a top drawer but pay will be decided on card position and therw won't be a difference between genders.
Not a hard concept to grasp I would have thought.

The only thing I care about RE: AEW is if they think dogs should vote or not, I base my entire life on this one policy plan
Yes. It's a well known problem in WWE and the industry as a whole.
Actual numbers are hard to come by, but every list shows some kind of disparity.
For example:

He definitely still with DG. He wouldn't be showing up with the belt if he wasn't.
Relationship with DG is interesting as I was under impression that CIMA left on bad terms. Not sure DG are gonna have a relationship with AEW while they working with the Chinese company.
Nobody ever thought Slater made more than Rousey, so I have no idea why you're bringing that up as if it means anything. The question is what about the stars that are at about the same level? Is Ronda being paid as much as Brock Lesnar? Are Becky Lynch or Charlotte Flair being paid as much as AJ Styles or Daniel Bryan? I seriously doubt it. And that's what that announcement is about. It isn't a mindblowing announcement that'll completely change how wrestlers are paid but it's a positive move.
Equal draw is such a subjective statement though. AJ is probably right when she said that. That was not really a good time for women's wrestling. But I hope the roster now is better compensated considering that almost all of them have merch now and have more TV time.
That said, if equality in pay really does mean "equally drawing" people are paid the same, that's awesome. And should happen not only in wrestling but in everything in life.
Did somebody say cima?
A Good Heart these days is hard to find.
Good start and they did what they needed to do here. Love the PAC/Jericho pick-ups, as well as the OWE/Strong Hearts partnership. Roster looks promising.
Need to fill out the women's roster, sign Marty/Omega, Pentagon/Fenix, and some other tag teams.
They're doing the right things on an equal pay scale and it appears having full-time employees/benefits.

Khan told a reporter after the rally stopped streaming that there will be a lot of opportunities for talent to become full-time employees
There's no regular shows planned yet. Double or Nothing will be on Fite PPV and I assume the show after in Jacksonville too. The regular shows will be announced later in the year I'd guess.
I can't see what he said because obviously who wouldn't have him on ignore but, but yeah, it really doesn't get better
You should have stopped listening the minute Jarrett mentioned he was involved.
Yeah. I think Triple H would respect what they're doing, he gets it. Vince though, idk about him.
If Trips had full control I'm sure things would work out better for the wrestlers in all ways but hey Vince is Vince.
What is wrong with you? Seriously. Edited for phone auto correct
Don't get me wrong, I was skeptical too but looking at the salary numbers, the wrestlers who are getting paid more than Charlotte is eye boggling.
I don't about that. The whole Cima Dragongate split is a really odd situation from what I can find on it. From what I can tell he's technically still part of a separate Dragongate company that's focused on OWE and when he and his guys work in Japan it hasn't been for Dragongate. I'm not even sure if thats accurate as I can't find a lot of english sources about it.
Crossing my fingers.
It would be a great step forward for the industry and could end up forcing a lot of hands elsewhere to follow likewise someday.
Catching up on all the festivities today. Really like what I'm hearing. When the rumors first started I thought it had a good chance at crashing and burning the first year. Now they've got a really huge shot at making an impact. I love it.

Thought the shirt thing was bs but seems it wasn't though they changed their minds apparently.

Kinda sad that something like this is progressive in wrestling in 2019.
EDIT: wonder when MMA will be next.
True. If all AEW can do is force WWE to do the same it will have been worth it at least.
Dave says Billy Gunn (in attendance at the rally in the crowd) will be a producer for the company going forward
Yeah, he's been doing this shit for a really long ass time, I remember his shit posts back on the GameFAQs PWB.
they are in deep talks with 2 networks that they can choose anytime (meltzer says). They are in no rush to start their tv programming.
never has one post make me ignore someone so fast than that one.
Holy shit he's basically a normal dude with tons of money to spend. This is hilarious.
One is rumored to be a Turner station, right? Cause that would be awesome.
Imagine it's POP? LOL
I agree with most of this. Hope they are putting their money where their mouths are. They're going to be under a huge microscope.
Health insurance, man I hope that happens. Make it the norm. Pleeeease.

Will the "money donated to gun violence victims" at the Jacksonville show equal the cool million dollars that Daddy Khan stroked Trump for his inauguration committee.
Probably not, but I'm sure the same people who slam Vince's association with Trump will have excuses why it's OK for Cody's money mark to give cash to President Trump and for people to continue to support AEW, right? After all, it's not like Trump nominated two likely anti-gun control judges to the Supreme Court and dozens of anti-gun control judges to the lower courts as well. Or I wonder how Khan feels about Obamacare repeal, as he promises health insuraance for employees, but screw people on Medicaid I guess.
Of course, many people in this thread are already in a bubble where the WWE is Always Bad and Terrible and whoever opposes them are the Good Guys.
