That’s an over simplification. There’s lots of reasons a performer picks on company over another.

Regardless, Cobb is making more in WWE than he was in New Japan.

Wait, WHAT?!

AEW has forced WWE to pay better.

Doesn’t mean they’ll use the talents they sign the right way, no promotion ever does.

But they’ve been forced to pay more to get talent.

We JUST saw this with Escobar. AEW had a superior offer, WWE countered.

Now actually using him? We’ll see…

You honestly think Cobb signed with WWE knowing he could have made more money with New Japan or AEW? Come on.

I’m not taking issue with the argument that WWE historically goes cheap on contracts, but the idea Cobb isn’t getting paid more than he did in New Japan is silly.

“WWE doesn’t pay people…”

What does that even mean?

And what does that have to do with him, at least for now, getting a better pay check than he was in New Japan with a lighter travel schedule?

Oh god, that’s right. Lord knows the wear and tear from travel has to be loads easier. Not to mention, less dates too I’d guess. Being in his 40s now, I’d bet Cobb appreciates that.

Either way, glad he’s getting a good pay day.

The show was such a banger no one noticed, Rich!

I would watch this show.

Oh man, I’d love to grab a blanket and just snuggle up next to Masuke and gently scratch those ears!

He looks so sweet when he’s snoozing.
