Wow a jobber retired big deal
Triple h hates AJ
>>19843632Fans too
>>19843621>50 year old man puts over the next generation
>>19843621The jobber community??
>>19843621AJ was putting younger dudes over. he's 50
>>19845483>>19844113Why did Sting win his last match?
>>19845494because it's the 21st century and the old adage of 'ya have to go out on your back!!' that is a made up rule by ol timers, btw NOTHING is set in stone in prowrestling, shit is fake my man there is no designated ruleset to any of this, if you wanna break it down to its core essence in the end Tony wanted to give the people who went to see Sting in his final match go back home happy, that's it
Why did they wait for him to get over just for him to retire?
>>19843621Youp, there is clearly a correlation between Paul taking over ad AJ being turned into a uppercard jobber. The fact he isnt on good terms with Paul Kikeman didnt helped either i suppose. What a waste.
>>19844113>>19845483"Old put over new" is such a Reddit mentality.
>>19846018And total revisionist history.
>>19846018>NOOOO YOU CANT JUST GO OUT WITH YOUR BOOTS IN THE RING YOU HAVE TO HAVE A HECKIN SUICIDE DIVE TO THE OUTSIDE FOR THE 1 2 3!yes yes, you're right, it is SO reddit for guys like cena and aj to put someone over on the way out.It is a nice thing when it happens as it is pretty fucking rare in reality. Usually these fucks "retire" 72 times in wrestling and never fuck off.
>>19846106There's more to wrestling than putting over the next heckin' generation. Every time you turn a star with a fanbase into an enhancement guy, you alienate his fanbase. As I think >>19846091was alluding to, traditionally speaking, nobody wanted to see the likes of Bill Watts, Vern Gagne, Bruno Sammartino, et al. job to up-and-comers. We're talking old, balding guys, visually many years older and weaker than guys like Cena and AJ Styles.
>>19846819AJ Styles' fanbase wasn't watching him in wwe. TNA fans from his prime aren't interested in anything wwe or aew are putting out.
