I wish I was kiddingNo shot. Really?
That’s wild. I think the biggest problem is just the way he’s phrasing in r here because if he just said some thing, like A&W, in general existing made it hard for TNA and ring of honor to exist. He’d be right, but it had absolutely nothing to do with Scott D’Amore being fired.I wish I was kidding
On a recent edition of his “Strictly Business” podcast, Eric Bischoff addressed Scott D’Amore’s removal from TNA Wrestling and believes AEW is partly to blame. He said,
“Right now, AEW is proving to be bad for the industry, in particular being bad for [TNA Wrestling] and people like Scott D’Amore.”
It’s weird because I think it’s a double edge sword. Because I don’t think it’s bad for the overall health of the industry because I think having someone on the nearest size of WWE gives the higher boys more leverage, but I do think AEW’s creation more or less just t created two monopolies, where is AEW‘s place had previously been filled by like three or four.Bad for the industry THE HORROR OF NOT HAVING A MONOPOLY
fucking idiot lmao
if the argument was ''AEW created some challenged for smaller brands by scooping up talent and making it more difficult for certain promotions to keep up'' sure, that's a valid statement ( though one could say that would have not stopped WWE from poaching anyone who looks like a star the second they get any hype). But to phrase it as bad for the industry? I'm fairly certain the industry is made up for 90% workers and maybe 10% if that of owners, so people getting paid is a good thing. And yeah, the scott thing is just insane, without AEW around, they may have never pushed themselves seeing that there IS a market for non wwe - not to mention aew helped them out in the pandemic.That’s wild.

I would say that regardless of AEW's existence, wrestling has never been more accessible. And I think two monopolies still creates more long term fans, and generational fans, who will have kids who will all be potential customers to the indies.It’s weird because I think it’s a double edge sword.

That all being said, I mean GCW is killing it. MLW is killing it even women of wrestling. It is getting some decent ratings on TV right now. Rising tides lifts all boats.
NJPW and AEW existing made me check out GCW and Impact - had it not been for them, prob never give em a chanceI definitely started giving more promotions a chance after AEW came around. (Tho i did try to watch ROH, there tv schedule just was so confusing) but now I’ll watch whatever I have access to tbh
I believe it. I kept telling you AEW was the legacy successor of TNA.NJPW and AEW existing made me check out GCW and Impact - had it not been for them, prob never give em a chance
