you cant be out here in pre-show jobber battle royals while youre basically the current face of my company.
I wouldn't have even wanted to be apart of that match if I was cage, unless I was winning it.

I get where your coming from but nothing in the world is gonna get some folks to start watching impact there better off levering someone like cage then sitting at their current level. You can't be major league if your not in the game. Like I'm sure they could of made some deal for them to use cage in exchange for some promotion and use of the bucks or some one on AEWs roster on a special or PPV.
Brian Cage is supposed to be one of their top guys he shouldn't be taking part in some inconsequential match in another promotion anyway. I prefer these shows sign these guys to exclusive deals. I know that's the appeal to most indie fans is these guys can go from promotion to promotion wrestling other hot acts but it ain't for me. Last year when I watching various indy shows The Lucha Brothers (Phoenix, and Pentagon) broke me, I saw them on 3 different promotions, being partners, enemies, unrelated. shyt made the talent pool seem small seeing the same guys showing up.
Is Impact even on the level of any of these companies. That’s like the local Indy company saying their wrestlers can’t be on Raw if they came through my town. Impact needs to be happy they are even getting any attention at this point.
Exactly. Like why would I look at a wrestling promotion, when the same fukking wrestlers are wrestling in other promotions? Even the territory days were more organized than the indies. I just miss the days where if I wanted to see a RVD match, I can check him out on ECW. If I wanted to watch Stone Cold kick ass, I can watch the WWF. If I wanted to watch Goldberg spear a jobber, WCW on Mondays 
. But nope, Pentagon in 20 promotions within a month so I can't catch a legit match due to over-saturation. Joey Ryan dikk throwing in 10 promotions while his "3 star match" is on DDT. Like WTF
Exclusivity only works if you have real power and leverage. TNA are always one bad move from extinction, and with so many alternative options they need to do everything they can to be an appealing place to work. Not letting their talent get some good exposure and money at a show like DoN isn't a good look. It the opposite approach MLW are taking.
But I do understand the issues in having a major guy jobbed out in a Battle Royal featuring a bunch of indie circus acts...it's tricky, but I think for their long term future they need to let their talent work there.

You telling me another wrestling company is protecting their assets kinda like a legit business would.

Right AEW basically been raiding ROH, MLW and Impact since it’s inception. ROH is only signing people now with the money they saved up to re-sign the Elite.
