>>19878745it's very simple: success in modern america has absolutely nothing to do with ability, integrity, skills, or any other virtue. it's all just "who you know". WWE and AEW have the connections to suppress competitors, even when those competitors are putting out a better product. whenever a good alternative comes along, they use those connections to make sure that relatively few people will ever see it. over time, this encourages both of these companies to put out a shitty low-effort product.
