Aew recruits off indies only and it's been fine fwiw
I think they’re both great strategies and I want to see both exist which is why I’m happy for a WWE product. That doesn’t suck that does it that way and then AEW that’s great that does it their way, but I would say the AEW strategy wouldn’t benefit them as much if they didn’t have the paycheck that they do to sign away the top indie guys if they lost more people than they win, they would be way would probably be a little better just because producing your own stars is just a little bit better way of controlling your destiny but obviously getting the best wrestlers in the world when you do have the money is pretty awesome.

Possible. I'm sure it's demanding... but it's still WWE teaching potential WWE stars doing the "WWE-Style". I think that is always the priority in there.

They do have to be careful not to overload the PC too bc at some point you won't even be able to help the ones that would be good
Which is something WWE isn't good at, tbh :lol Not overloading I mean.

I think nowadays this is worse for promos than ring work tho, the only people that stand out are rhe ones that are already charismatic, everyone has at least "passable" ring training tho

I forgot I signed up for a market research thing to make money lmao. I go downstairs and saw a box with my name on it and I’m like “I didn’t fucking order anything.” Then I open and see deodorant and I’m like oh yeah that damn thing I applied for weeks a fucking go to make money. :lmao i don’t remember how much. I’m sure it will tell me when I read the paper that came with it. I’ll do that after I eat.

The thing two is the WWE Main roster already has a lot of really great recognizable names from indies and then NXT is the place is mostly got the recruits so it kind a create a Ying and yang within their own system and I’m sure once TKO opens the pursestrings up a little bit. They might win some more bidding battles in 2025.
