There's a new, and possibly serious, would-be major pro wrestling company, and they had their kick-off rally today. AEW, All Elite Wrestling, has big bucks behind it as the family that owns the Jacksonville Jaguars is underwriting it. They make Vince look like a pauper.
The promotion will be headed by Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks. Chris Jericho, Pac (Neville in WWE), and Hangman Page are among the first signees. Kenny Omega is expected to come on board once his contract with New Japan expires at the end of January. They're in it for the long haul as the Khans have signed Cody and the Bucks to 5-year contracts. Dave Meltzer thinks the promotion is close to getting a TV deal. Here's some more about the new promotion:

If you, like me, are bored with the WWE product, this may well become a viable alternative. I'm psyched, so I'll continue to update this thread. I hope that people who are interested in this new promotion will use this thread to express your views.
