They would be seen as the modern ECW if they didnt try to compete with WWE right off and act like they were embroiled in a war with them, and insist on running shows in NBA arenas when they would be better off doing small arenas and bingo halls.
They are a company who doesnt seem welcoming. Tony Khan acts like he is at war all the time with WWE, their talent is ALWAYS arguing with nobodies on twitter and are woke overly sensitive assholes.
They isolated people politically by having a tranny mixing it up in the womens division who is also insufferable online. They let CM Punk parade around in his abortion paraphernalia. They banned Hulk Hogan and his wife. Theyve generally alienated conservative wrestling fans.
Their roster is way too bloated and there is no consistency in who is featured. Stars tend to come in seasons, like Jamie Hayter, who won the belt but couldnt even walk in the center of Britt Baker and Rebel r cut a single promo over her entire reign, before dropping off the face of the earth for two years then expecting us to care when she came back.
They are just 100% athleticism, 0% Vince Russo storytelling. And you need some Russo to make it. People dont care because there is no reason to invest. Its a bloated and unentertaining product comparable to how college football isnt cared about as much as the NFL.
