No
The previous answers are all correct, it does all boil down to what you like.Is Japanese wrestling better than American wrestling
Personally I just like watching good wrestling matches that make sense . I don't care about storylines or moments or cool spots. I just want to see competitors put on a good match without a stupid finish.
Honestly, I don't think there's anybody, past or present, they could realistically bring in that would make me watch WWE consistently again.
Even if they got Stone Cold committed to a match at WM and had him on Raw for like the last 4 weeks before Mania, I feel like he's just gonna be a watered down version of his past self. Same with Rock.
And then Cody under his own creative direction (to whatever capacity) was just ok. I can't imagine he'll be any better under WWE creative. And then the better parts of his gimmick will be stripped away like the shooty-type promos and the brutal looking matches and spots. Then his unwillingness to go heel paired with WWE's inability to book strong faces to go against Brock and Roman, I just don't see it going well.
Only a Vince McMahon retirement could get me to tune in consistenly again just to see if the direction of creative will ever change.
My faves were:
Jimmy superfly snuka
Ultimate Warrior
The Road warriors/Legion of doom
HBK
Rey Mysterio
The Steiners
Rob Van damme
The Blue Blazer - but funny enough I wasnt a fan of Owen Hart when he was himself
Razor Ramon
odd ones of that time would be: Arn Anderson, and Dean malecko..loved the technical prowess and how they would relentlessly focus on one single body part of their opponents
I don't get why people keep comparing WWE to AEW. One is a publicly traded corporation and the other is pretty much just a television production company with 2 shows. And I'm not shitting on AEW, I like their shows. It's like comparing the Walt Disney company to Gracie Films. Of course Disney is going to be bigger and more successful.
This MF here...
Mmm
It's the mark fans on both sides of the argument that want to see the other company fail and go out of business.
What they fail to understand is that wrestling as a whole is better when there are more promotions around and more options for the fans.
I like AEW as a whole, just not as much as some people. I find flaws in the product just like there are flaws in WWE programming.
Do yall think it's better to have the talent come up with the stories or writers?
It depends on how good the talent is at coming up with storylines.
Most wrestlers aren't good at coming up with storylines because that's not what they're paid to do.
There should at least be a collaborative process where the writers work with the talent to come up with storylines.
The best storylines and characters are the ones where the wrestlers are doing less acting and being more of themselves, just with the volume turned up.
I don't think it should be an either/or thing. For wrestlers who can't come up with their own stories a writer should be available to them. For those who don't need it they can continue coming up with their own stories.
Has she broken up with her girlfriend yet? Hell, is her girlfriend still in AEW?
Diamante is still in AEW.
Makes sense he would stay with WWE since he spent so many years in obscurity in TNA making a fraction of what he's making now
Was about to say the same shit. If she ain't bimbo built Vince ain't 4 it
Yeah at this point AJ has nothing left to do. Major titles in every promotion besides AEW, but he has basically fought everyone in AEW. I don't think any other promotion can pay him what he would be looking for with the talent they currently have.
I could see AJ doing a year in NJPW or AEW before he retires. I think there is still a resentment towards Vince for not getting on board back when AJ was younger.
Wow! I never liked him, he always reminded me of the old blonde sting character. More power to them
I'd be very surprised if that number was accurate. That's a large number.
These wrestling "reporters" like to throw around numbers, but have no clue what they're talking about.
I find AJ, Owens, Zayn and others choosing to stay in WWE interesting, especially with how "well" they would be received if they went over to AEW.
I think AEW signing up a lot of earlier WWE castoffs ended up hurting them in their chances to land more prominent stars when they would have been available.
Especially when one sees how many of those ex WWE signings were treated and booked.

U can't worry about the longterm when you're trying to establish yourself right now, I get that with aew... Plus you don't want to get into a bidding war with the E.
I think the difference between the two is families. AJ, Zayn and Owens have "full" families. Outside of Bryan Danielson I think most of them are just married or in serious relationships. And Bryan is an outlier as he would go back to indies just for the match ups that he could get.
Sitting around in catering isn't so bad when you're paying for your daughters braces. That sense of pride you feel when you read Twitter and fans telling you that you should be doing this or that gets squashed REAL QUICK when kids are involved and the money WWE is willing to pay, plus your merch money.
Do they still get the merch sales (toys, shirts, etc) even after they leave wwe?
I like it!
Sorry I liked him better as Killshot versus Swerve. The matches him and AR Fox put on were a masterclass!
Him vs Sammy/Private Party/Bryan Danielson/Kenny Omega/Darby Allin will be really good matches!
WWE/NXT spent a lot of time and resources developing and helping a lot AEW signees
I am a mainstream casual fan and didn’t know Keith Lee, Swerve, Andreda, Allister Black,Adam Cole, Ruby Riot, Riley, Fish, Mercedes Martinez etc till they showed up at NXT and that doesn’t include Miro who always made chicken salad outta chicken shit
I hope that with the changes made in NXT call ups really have a chance to succeed

Bryan already made his money with WWE, plus his wife has money too. He has that freedom to be able to just go around and wrestle for the fun of it and not worry about a large payday. Like you said AJ, Zayn and Owen all have young families and this really is the first time most of them are making big money, so I can see why they stayed.
I think if they still have a licensing deal with them they do.
