Macho Man and Mr T. I have uncles that look like Macho Man and always thought he was black.

Odd favorite Arn Anderson. Quiet, didn't take shyt, I feel like a lot of action movie characters were based on him.
 
I've never looked at anything as a competition. It's the AEW hardcores that want everything to be a competition.
Constantly comparing "key demo" Dynamite numbers with Raw and Smackdown.
I see AEW for what it is, an alternative to the WWE and an attempt to recreate the Attitude Era with heavy Japanese and indy influence.
Just like any program, there's some good stuff but there's some bad as well.
I will say that AEW is becoming less outlawish and more watchable now that more ex-WWE guys have arrived

Not trying a back and forth with you as I legitimately am curious but what AEW hardcores HERE is making this a competition?
 
I liked what I saw from her in the Jade match. She has promise. Congrats to her getting a contract. From my understanding she was trained by Booker T.



wasnt she in NXT for a minute
It’s bugged out AEW not only took NXT spot as the WWE mainstream super Indy alternative but NXT effectively became development for AEW. It seems like half their wrestlers are NXT favs that WWE ignored, didn’t use or were fired before getting a chance.

Someone just literally on the last page shared a tweet (among countless others posted in this thread) about how this week's Dynamite beat Raw in the "key demo". If there is no competition between AEW and WWE here, why do folks constantly care about who beat who in the key demo?

My favorite wrestler as a kid in the WWF was The Ultimate Warrior. I also liked the Million Dollar Man because of the character.
Like a lot of kids (and to some extent still to this day), I was more attracted to the big characters and not so much the technical experts.
It's why I never really cared much for Brett Hart growing up.

In WCW (which I got into a bit later in the early 90s), it was Ric Flair, Sting and Doom.
Early 90s WCW while not financially successful, was maybe my favorite era of WCW.

I was watching a YouTube news video and it was said people backstage, and Cargill herself were blaming her for the awkwardness of their match.

I thought she did fine. Liked what I saw with her.

I thought she did well too. And it's worth it to keep her around.

Vince wants 80's type wrestlers (cartoon characters, giants and super heroes)

I was a big fan of Ron Garvin and Gentleman Chris Adams. I think they qualify as unusual...lol.

My favs were Roddy Piper, Ric Flair, Midnight Express, Road Warriors, and Jake the Snake. Unusual would be George the Animal Steele heel version. I mostly liked the heels.
 
Thinking back we didn't have many brothas to cheer or root for during my childhood. There was JYD who I don't think u ever really saw on tv besides the cartoon show. We had KoKo B Ware who was cool. Kamala& Bad News Brown were just a heels (i remember his feud with Piper evolving sewer rats HaHa). Doom and Ron Simmons got a face push.

So the wrestler who has been classically trained was awkward vs the one who is still green as hell?!?! Yep Jade is gonna fit in JUST fine into this wrestling industry! Next we'll start calling HER the golden shovel!

Honestly I took that as talking points or conversation starters, but I understand your perspective on that.

We may hate the product but we don't want WWE to fail. The current landscape isn't big enough to support all the wrestlers if WWE were to go under. We're just tired of the product that Vince thinks is superior and we don't understand the WWE apologists. It isn't a competition for one to defeat the other it's a "competition" to get Vince to change course.
