>>14319291>How are those two contradictory posts?You only bring up Punks name when you want to shed Punk in a positive light and when it suites you. Did he draw ratings? Sure, for awhile. Was he good for ticket sales? Sure, for awhile. Was he a fucking cancer and hard to do business with? Sure was. Was he injury prone (like right now btw) Sure was. Are AEW better off without his toxic shit but smart to use him to gain interest? Sure are.
>Also why did you ignore my other point about how the majority of AEW's top stars and draws are ex WWE guys? You ignoring that says it all.Because you said they weren't top stars, Punk was the top star and everyone else apparently didn't matter, because you're a disingenuous faggot who constantly tries to shift the narrative when someone makes a valid point. Mox is a star. Bryan. Edge. Christian. Running a wrestling company is a consorted effort. And just because they all worked in WWE doesn't mean all the AEW stars like Omega, The Bucks, Hangman, MJF, aren't stars adding to AEW's story of success.
>How did the product change from the point where ex WWE guys joined to when the ratings overtook WWE a month later tell me?Bischoff literally talked about how much WCW changed. It had a lot to do with ex WWF talent but that's not the whole story and you know that you smug prick. If you didn't notice how much WCW changed over more than the course of a few weeks in order to turn the ship around and beat WWF you'd know that.
>I don't know about beat but they can match them them by doing the same exact thing AEW is doing aka buying up toys for Tony Khan from the competition which isn't something SMW could do.It's not something they could do no matter how many toys they'd add without catering to smarks who want what AEW is offering right now, doesn't matter whether or not guys like Cuckette agree with it or not the business changed and doesn't look at SMW, NWA, AWA, style wrestling as entertaining enough, you're fucking delusion.
