I dont think the wcw wwf rivalry lasted that long tbf

 

[Bobby Barrows]

WCW/WWF wasn't a problem tho. WWF almost lost the war in 1996/97, but people forget that WWF still did better than WCW ever did on PPV.

wcw was hot for a very short amount of time and were mired with terrible business decision as well as a network who didnt support them. could that happen to aew? maybe, but i think media is different now and theres not as much as stigma on wrestling now

 

[Canadian Dragon]

do I think the Khans could afford to buy NJPW? absolutely. would they want to? I doubt it. Would NJPW or the gov of Japan allow it? never

That too, WCW didn't die because it wasn't better than WWF, it died because Ted Turner merged his company with Time Warner who fucking hated wrestling at the time.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

same with wwe could afford a lot of things but I just think business in japan still has a lot of tradition and ''honor''

 

[Bobby Barrows]

And if 1999/2000 was any indication, who could blame them?

mostly yes. but also because it was terrible. but to me its like a self fufilling prophecy

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Im not gonna sit here and say its impossible for wwe to absorb aew one day, but I do think as far as the CURRENT landscape goes, nah

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Yeah

 

[Canadian Dragon]

basically, as far as Im concerned, the only way that happens is if TK suddenly decides he hates wrestling

 

[Canadian Dragon]

or they the khans go bankrupt

 

[Storm Trooper]

I should have said I have zero expectation of either side buying the other out. I just can't say it'll never happen.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

I lold

Someone legit tried to tell me with a straight face that Microsoft buying Nintendo would be good, because "Nintendo is cheap and their games are not as good looking as other console games"

nah I didnt take it as you saying it was expected. i dont disagree that nothing is impossible
