Full quote:
People other than Tony Khan don’t have strong feelings on the situation. As for Tony, Tony likes Rey Fenix. He’s always liked and respected Rey Fenix. He just felt that if he let this thing slide that other people were going to start taking advantage of him and it was going to lead to a dam breaking. So they’re fucked and Penta has another month I believe and Fenix has 9-10. Tony found out what the plan was for them on SmackDown by the way and that also informed this. Take a wild guess who leaked that one backstage in AEW.

I still think Tony’s the dick here, he has almost 200 workers on the roster, it won’t hurt him to let a couple of guys go if they don’t want to be there. We hated when Vince did this shit, we should hate when Tony does it.
Yet, at the end of the day they signed the contract that allowed for extensions for time missed. Really comes down to that whole are they employees or independent contractor’s debate…
