Shame that Vikingo won't be in a company where his strengths and talent's gonna be put to it's maximum use and instead being subjected to a very specific, low ceiling.

I can't go on with the entire wrestling world being positioned as some billionaire power struggle. It's like I'm watching something I love being stomped to death slowly

Yeah…working in front of a much smaller audience in matches no one remembers an hour later is the pinnacle of the business for everyone

Honestly…WWE couldn’t gut AAA or TNA more than Tony gutted NJPW if they made it their entire mission in life

Funny to see someone trying to have a pro-WWE gotcha moment with the argument that other companies put on "forgettable" matches. That's some high class comedy right there. :lol

Another banger :lol

And them boys will still be pissed about it until the end of times... but they have nothing to worry, those talents are wasted in matches no one will remember anyways and the moment those workers realize it, they'll be on their knees for the E to take them.

Yeah WWE wanted Ospreay , Okada and Jay White and even got publically butt hurt when Ospreay chose AEW.

Also why is it always but aew? Aew only bought a dead roh and the majority of fans even then said it wasn't optimal and were cautiously optimistic. We saw it's not great.

WWE is doing this for much more nefarious reasons . It's not to save a brand or acquire a library of which most of their wrestlers are part of. Aew is not trying to buy other companies or hurt their competitors or buy every wrestler or might be wrestler the sun. Wake the f up if you're standing up for WWE on this. This is horrible for the business, the workers trying to make to the us now also don't get to be free agents after their mexico deals. We saw WWE fuck cmll with vaquer. These people are snakes and will eat everything until.theres no one else left.

New boss, same game. WWE is not a friend to professional wrestling .

Whataboutism has been burned into the brains of a ton of people thanks to social media etc. over the last decade.
