Fact: WWE was totally beatable, AEW had all of the momentum and a loaded roster, Tony is the worst booker of all time. Eric Bischoff at least has the excuse of Hogan's creative control ruining everything, but TK has no excuses. He's the dictator
>>16691351Many are saying this
>>16691351we already have like 4 threads on this you dumb fucking retard
>>16691363Now i hate WWE, it's shit but objectively they are way better now than they used to be and storywise far above AEW even if the wrestling itself sucks
>>16691351Tony was the singular worst person to be the benefactor for AEW and marks need to ditch their parasocialism and realize this because the cult they created worshipping him because WWE was ass is hurting the product since he doesn't want to step away and stop receiving blowjobs from twitter accounts
>>16691369Ya mad? I don't hear you oinkin when a dozen Nash rape threads get posted.
>>16691351>posts based match graphic with seethe texthuh
>Tony is the worst booker.This is true, but it’s mostly because he lets these retards book themselves because he’s too afraid to tell anyone no. What if they won’t want to be his best Buddy anymore?
>>16691351TK should have been like Ted Turner where he oversees the promotion but lets a committee handle booking.
>>16691351Give the book back to the EVPs
>>16691351>WWE was totally beatablelmao no it wasn't, even at its worst most tarped up events they were raking in a killing. The best AEW was ever going to do was be a solid #2 fed that people could at least respect as an alternative, and Tony fucked that up royally.
Moxley has seriously got to be the worst world champion in the world right nowJun Saito I guess is worse and whatever dogshit AAA is doing but for real Mox sucks lmao
>>16691369you have a lot of threads to post this same complaint inalso we don't sign our posts here
>>16691466Yes it was retard, they had enough demand to sell out any stadium in the US for their first major PPV. WWE was in no man's land with no future and no prospects to draw money, they had nothing but old shitters who nobody wanted to see. AEW had lightning in a bottle with Cody Rhodes and CM Punk in their company, Jon Moxley jumping ship along with the Elite, a huge amount of young stars, crossover with other promotions and Chris Jericho at the end of his prime as the face of the company. TK royally fucked it all up
>>16691497WWE could heat up anybody they wanted, Vince being a schizo usually got in the way of it thougharound 45k people showed up to Royal Rumble '19 when the most over person they had was Becky Lynch lol
>>16691478I don't watch anymore. I thought Moxley was great a couple years ago. What's wrong now?
>>16692166there's just nothing there anymore, I don't know how to describe my apathy. He no-sells all the time because he wants to be a shooter so bad for starters
>>16691351>Fact: WWE was totally beatableActually true. WWE was weak as fuck in 2019/2020. AEW's attendance was actually on par with theirs and Dynamite even beat Raw in the demo. The potential was absolutely there for AEW to overtake WWE if Tony played his cards right but sadly he's a bumbling retarded failson and he fumbled literally everything. In the end, all AEW did in its short life was push WWE into having a resurgence.
>>16691497>AEW had lightning in a bottle with Cody RhodesYa lost me. Cody is fucking mid. You don't notice it in WWE because mid is their standard, but in AEW Cody was outshined in every category on every show. He had a good match with Dustin, but that was it. He was always doing sports entertainment shit on shows and it stood out. AEW fucked up by being stale; pushing geeks, having two shows of just squash matches, ruining ROH, running the same markets into the ground, pushing too many ex-WWE guys, flavor of the month booking, and not capitalizing on what made people want a WWE alternative. People wanted a wrestling company that was polished, varied and wrestling focused, not sports entertainment lite. That's why AEW PPVs are still almost universally well received, because it just focuses on the wrestlers telling stories in the ring and being exciting. Rather than having ex-WWE midcarders cut boring promos. Or having top guys go 50/50 with perma-jobbers in a 15minute "banger" no one will remember in a week.
>>16692203>In the end, all AEW did in its short life was push WWE into having a resurgence.I wouldn't even credit AEW with that. Vince leaving is what really did it. If Vince left in 2016 before AEW started i think WWE would have had a resurgence.
>>16691411>based> Brian cage Hey Brian. No matter how much TRT you take and how many injections of silicone you get injected into you from Mexico you’ll never gain a personality
>>16691351>the biggest star in AEW is having his first match on TV in over a year>it's against Brian Cage
>>16692294No no, you don't understand, this match has a long and storied history behind it! The photo from 5 years ago! THEY STARED AT EACH OTHER!
>>16691497>WWE was in no man's land with no future and no prospects to draw moneyComplete schizo-babble with no basis in reality. Even in the last year's of Vince-era WWE, the company was making more money than ever and was signing big money deals with the Saudis, Fox and Peacock. The idea that WWE was failing or 'on the ropes' is nonsense.
>>16691351Who should he give the book to? Danielson?
>>16692367Bischoff, Russo, and Cornette. Pay them an ungodly sum to work together. Tell Cornette he can work from home.
>>16692375this is retarded and impossible anyways
>>16692332WWE was genuinely pretty fucked. AEW was actually scoring some wins on them back then, as hard as it is to believe now.
>>16692367Chat GPT
>>16692378Nah, it's smart and possible. Don't believe any of these guys who say hate each others guts and they'll never work together again. They're all carnies and they'll work together if the price as right. And Tony's dad has infinitely deep pockets to pay them. Shit, Cornette, Russo, and Bischoff would probably work together for less money than Tony pays guys like Jay White.
>>16692380AEW beat the shit out of NXT (which they continued to do 90% of the time, even post-no milly, until it moved to free TV) but that's about it.AEW has done fantastically well for a secondary company given that we have the history of TNA to directly compare to. But to pretend it was ever overtaking WWE is revisionist history to diminish what it actually has done.
>>16692380>WWE was genuinely pretty fucked.No they weren't. >AEW was actually scoring some wins on them back then, as hard as it is to believe now.By 'wins' you mean matching their attendance for a few months before inevitably cooling off. AEW's good attendance in 2021/2022 was driven in part by people being desperate to leave the house post-Covid.
>>16692367Sting
>>16692367/pw/
>>16692396>By 'wins' you mean matching their attendance for a few monthsYeah and that was a monumental win. AEW debuts and they start matching WWE's attendance right out of the gate. That's fucking amazing. Imagine where AEW would be now if Tony had kept that momentum up.

>>16691369Kek mad
TNA had the likes of Hogan, Flair, Sting, Foley, Hardy, Angle, etc on its roster and never came close to unseating WWE. It was gonna take a lot more than indie retreads for AEW to ever seriously be competition.
>>16692623None of those wrestlers were as big of a star as Jericho was when he jumped ship in 2018-2019
>>16691497>Chris Jericho at the end of his prime>2019 when he's 49 years oldlmao, it's even funnier because you complain about WWE pushing old people a sentence before but 50 year olds are 'prime' according to you.
We love Big T here, and we don't pay attention to nerd shit like cable ratings ya dweeb
>>166923802019 was then the highest revenue in company history, and 4th quarter 2019 was the highest quarter revenue ever. People like you are genuinely retarded and will say literally anything if you feel like it should be true, even if you're shown 764 facts and data points that all prove you are incorrect. You are a pathological liar.
>>16692273>You don't notice it in WWE because mid is their standard,kek brutal
>>16691351From an instant classic in the Tokyo Dome to this, it has to be intentional at this point
