Just bc they were in WWE at one point doesn't mean they are WWE guys. Most of those guys listed were already big on the indie scene before WWE signed them.

And like AB said, WWEs fault for cutting them.

Ya it's too much of a family friendly product. As long as people are still f**king and having kids, WWE will continue to thrive.

Which is funny cause most of us lived through the Attitude Era as kids and none of that was family friendly.

it's weird because Cena and Roman Reigns were talking about missionary positions and penis jokes. Far from family friendly tv.

Also weird that Vince wants to allegedly go back to ''big men,'' yet lets go of Braun friggin Strowman.
Vince has legit lost his mind.

Jericho, Chavo, Dustin, Sting and The Giant are WCW guys actually

WWE can tease a return of an OG wrestler and people will lose their mind.

WWE won't go out of business while they can do that.

I just hope they sell soon. Have no idea if Disney or NBC can put on a better product but Vince and his mindset is hindering their product.

AEW has a better product and better talent. That is something WWE hasn't faced before. But they are still WWE and aren't going anywhere. Smackdown close to doubles the ratings of Dynamite.

AEW is IMO making wrestling incredibly fun and truly exciting again. And they definitely over delivered last night in a good way, what happened is great for not only them but the entire business.

WWE is too big to fail specially with their TV contracts, the Peackock one and the Saudi money.
But AEW is the best wrestling company at the moment.
Hearing the crowd chanting kaze ni nare for Minoru Suzuki entrance made me really, really happy.
That ending was bonkers. Great decision to see Cole back with the Elite. Danielson is in a phenomenal shape.
The Omega/Danielson match will be out of this world.

This is a great video from fans prospective from last night after the show went off the air.

Omega/Danielson is gonna be epic IMO.

I'm happy to see Adam Cole back with The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and The Good Brothers, they all knew each other when Omega was running Bullet Club.

Suzuki is a badass, epitomizes Strong Style, true badass as I said, MMA background, not someone you'd want to meet in a dark alley.

Can't wait for Wednesday, Dynamite has to get over 1.3M views, has to, and Jericho is correct IMO, it's a matter of time until Dynamite is beating RAW every so often in the ratings. I think if things go well, we could see Turner giving AEW 2 hour time slot for Rampage, I know 10-12 is late, but fans will watch, I know I will.

But as of now, they have 2 hr Dynamite, 1 hr Rampage, I think 1hr to 90 mins for both Dark & Elevation, that's 5 to 6 hours a week, and yet they're able to showcase their entire roster, where WWE has 3 hr RAW, 2 hr Smackdown, whatever Main Event, Superstars or whatever they call it, and they can't utilize every one, yet they're cutting talent, and fans get the same matches, or old out of shape guys come back in cause Vince thinks they bring ratings.

WWE wishes they could get 2001 Nitro ratings for RAW, I guess it's a mixture of fans who fell out of love when WWE went completely PG, and people who just lost their love for the business, and maybe fans who just got sick of seeing one promotion running things, and Vince doing the same old s**t he did since he took over WWE from his Dad.
