Will they ever recover from AEW ransacking them?

They barely recovered from the covid pandemic era. I cannot see them getting sort of relevant in wrestling circles again though. That era of Shinsuke, Okada, Tanahashi, AJ, Omega, Bucks, Bullet Club, Devitt, Shibata, Naito, Bad Luck Fale, Romero, Ishii, Jay White, etc will never come back. They ruined themselves by not preparing for the future & only focusing on a few established names.

They were the start of the death spiral. I know because I was watching at the time and skipped past their matches or went and did something else if I was watching live.

most of that shit started like 10 years ago-- they DID prepare for the future. Ospreay and Jay White are 5 years younger than Okada. they were the next generation. also the SHO/YOH gen is full of shitters.

they managed to mess up their young guys and young guys of other feds, sure all the guys are handsome and can do all the moves but they're presented like geeks.
Unfortunately it looks like Tana will continue this format of pimping out the young men to perverted women and homosexuals while the other companies have given in as well

Yeah AEW poached the guys being positioned at the top of the card, Ospreay and White. So now NJ has to build new talent. But what happens when Tony poaches them because they got hot too?
