This faggy reddit bullshit should be a midcard act in aew too
>>
>>20593005
What would she even do without being able to do her Val Venis act?

Well yeah, Rhea is a superstar. Antichrist superstar!
>>
>>20593005
>Was a midcard act in AEW
>>
>>20593005
Being a main eventer in aew is the same as being a midcard in WWE.
>>
>>20593034
>>20593176
She isn't a main eventer in AEW. She only main evented one show with Mariah May in Australia. Everything else she's done has been middle of the card
>>
>>20593005
WWE is all midcard acts. Stars aren't allowed.
>>
>>20593005
Nah she’s actually dimes. Main event quality for sure
>>
>>20593005
True, HHH seems to loathe gimmicks and characters which is ironic since Danhausen is a merchhausen seller

It's something that frustrates me about Tony, he clearly loves the Attitude Era, and he wants to try and ape it but also wants to make his shows New Japan USA at the same time.
>>
>>20593005
WWE is a midcard act
>>
>>20593491
Vince understood that gimmicks translated to merch sales. A literal retard could understand that unique characters with unique looks translate to merch sales. No one wants action figures that all look the same. Somehow neither HHH or TK get it. It boggles the mind.
>>
>>20593513
They’re so big at this point that they actually fail upwards
>>
>>20593491
It literally isn't hard to book the way Vince Russo did, it's just that Tony is beholden to his own fanbase that get insanely pissed whenever he deviates from the formula of bangers all show long.

The IWC is notoriously fickle
>>
>>20593513
>Vince
McMahon or Russo?
>>
>>20593534
Both but McMahon was way more hardcore about it.
>>
>>20593005
It's true! In WWE most of the mid card should be on top and all of the people on top should be in the mid card.
>>
>>20593543
>the mid card should be on top
Sami Zayn should be a main event guy?
>>
>>20593557
Nah Sami should fuck off to wherever Kevin Owens is at rn
>>
>>20593513
Fuck, even Paul Heyman understood ECW needed actual draws
Paul Pubecuck unironically believes the only thing you need to sell is being good in the ring. Which just doesn't translate well with an American audience.
>>
>>20593564
He needs to horribly KWAB his neck first
>>
>>20593576
>unironically believes the only thing you need to sell is being good in the ring.
Then why are WWE matches such dogshit?
>>
>>20593593
Because everyone tries to reinvent the wheel and people who do that are usually stupid
>>
>>20593576
>ECW needed actual draws
And who pray tell was ever a draw in ECW?
>>
>>20593005
Yeah I agree. WWE has no idea how to use talent to their full potential.
>>
>>20593623
rvd
dudleys
sabu
mike awesome
>>
>>20593635
It's worse than that. They don't want anyone to become a star on the level of The Rock or Stone Cold anymore so they bury people when they get too over.
>>
>>20593623
Sandman, Raven, Sabu, Dudley Boys
>>
>>20593664
It's on purpose too, TKO wants the brand of WWE and UFC to be the star, any single wrestler or fighter bigger than the brand is dangerous to their bottom line because they want to be able to pay as little as possible on the contracts.

The fuck do you think they're restructuring WWE wrestlers deals for?
>>
>>20593664
>They don't want anyone to become a star on the level of The Rock or Stone Cold anymore
Triple H still resents Rock and Austin so no shit he hates anyone being too over, he wants to be the one that gets the big loud pop
>>
>>20593491
It's because he wants to lean more into being presented as a sport, except Levesque should realize that it only worked in Black & Gold NXT by sheer luck. He should also know everyone knows wrestling more for the colorful personalities.
>>
>>20593623
Towards the later years? Like 75% of the roster. Did you even watch ECW? It wasn't unlike Attitude Era WWF where everyone was over
>>
>>20594264
Truth, even spike dully was over. The shows were always a banger.
>>
>>20593005
>would be a midcard act in WWE
yeah, because Paul is a fumbler
>>
>>20594272
Exactly. You could close a show with Balls Mahoney and no one's leaving early
>>
>>20594264
It's why Paul Heyman is considered a mad genius of a booker, we'll sadly never see another creative genius like that anywhere
>>
>>20593029
Anyone else fap to this pic, pretending it was cum?
>>
mentally ill aew faggot admits aew's top draw is merely a midcard act in WWE,
weird flex to be quite honest
>>
>>20593576
You still need personality to get over in Mexico too
I'm pretty sure the only wrestling market that'll take heatless bangers and clamor for it is Japan
>>
>>20593005
Because Triple H wants to move away from gimmicks, his approach to WWE is to go for a more sports-oriented angle, basically UFC lite
>>
>>20593576
>Paul Pubecuck unironically believes the only thing you need to sell is being good in the ring
Which is why all his matches are 8 minutes snoozefests and the whole match depends on when they go to ad break or not.
>>
>>20596792
>basically UFC lite
That's incredibly boring, it's like Paul resents what made WWE/WWF so much money before.
>>
>>20593181
meanwhile BLAKE is about to become a big time star
>>
>>20597132
Sad, truly
>>
>>20593029
>>20595004
me and you
>>
>>20596914
>That's incredibly boring
Boring and safe is exactly what corporate sponsors actively want unfortunately and WWE is all in on being a family product the way most real sports are.
>>
>>20599148
Do you not watch UFC or something?
>>
>>20600022
Kek of course he doesn't. Do you think people actually ever know what they're speaking of on here? They just say shit and hope no one checks them
>>
>>20600022
I said most, not all you ginormous retard.
UFC is an outlier in that it is not geared towards families. TKO keeps it around because it makes money same as sponsors.

With WWE it's different because while there's as many scandals in UFC, WWE's are significantly worse so they have to be more clean in the eyes of the corporate masters
>>
>>20593005
"Midcard" doesn't mean anything in 2026. Everyone is a midcarder. AEW has B-list wrestlers on top & even the big name WWE talent is subordinate to the real celebrities & dude wipe ad placements on the card.
>>
>>20593005
Jobber more like. Or just insta released.

She's a qt and she got that booty
