>>12746076Based post. People forget Raw was being filmed live every other week, with one in the can, in smaller arenas with shitty lighting and production. Nitro was live every week, pyro, music, Cruiserweights, no womeme wrestling, it took off for a reason.
2023, WWE is doing 3 live shows a week with top-of-industry production. What is AEW going to offer outside of the ring product to top that? They can't even get Kenny Omega or Hangman to come to the ring in a suit. They don't seem like a big deal, they aren't presented as a big deal, and the announcers listing off their accolades doesn't cut it.
>"He was the 1st ever MNER Heavyweight Triple Crown Champion! A 7-time MZN Tripleweight Tournament winner!">Then why is this motherfucker in a t-shirt and butterfly mom jeans?Let the Lucha Brothers ride rice rockets down to the ring. Let Julia walk out with some deranged-looking, Walking Dead-styled women. Let Moxley pull up in a MonsterTruck, hop off and THEN do his walk through the crowd.
There's 1,001 things they need other than just waiting for some WWE star (Owens, Rollins, whoever) to fuck up and being able to sign them as a reclamation project.
