AEW though doesn’t seem to be about the money. Moxley, Punk, Bryan, Cole (I’m guessing the twitch stuff was a sticking point with a main roster contract), Jericho, didn’t go to AEW to chase money. They went for more opportunity and to be able to control their own creative.

How weren't those guys pushed? They may have been reluctant to push them but they all main evented for years (Moxley less so).
I do think they should have done a big angle when they brought these guys in. They still have a chance on Wednesday. But it wasn't bringing Hogan, savage, nash, etc that gave wcw the big boost. It was the nwo angle.
Will still be interested to watch what they do.
