AEW has done more to damage other indie promotions and wrestling alternatives than WWE has ever done

Remember when watching puro was special? Remember when cross promotion matches were special? Remember when an Indy talent would breakthrough and end up on a major wrestling promotion?

Those days are long dead . Thanks Tony

That was done by increased interconnectivity. Unless you think that without AEW the internet would stop existing.

AEWtists will never understand this, because all they really wanted was another WWE that hovers up all the talent so they don't have to watch anything else. It's like how they've moved on to pretending to like CMLL now instead of NJPW

The AEW fans cheer on a literal billionaire outbidding everyone and poaching all the talent from other companies, just because he isn't Vince. It's insane really. I saw people splurging out about WWE potentially having a relationship with AJPW and then saying that Tony should partner up with them in the same breath

Weird how I never saw any threads squealing over WWE killing EVOLVE or PROGRESS. Meanwhile, half the card of the last PWG show featured AEW talents.

They have crocodile tears for both the indies and NJPW now too. Pre-AEW they were massively hostile to both of these, but now they are their biggest champions apparently.

Yep. I remember hearing a lot of complaints about NXT UK poachings. Then AEW starts poaching NWA and NJPW talent and the same people had nothing to say.

Yeah, I've been to plenty of NJPW shows as well as other Japanese indies, unlike you. I also hit any wrestling house shows every time they come to my city. You're doing that thing again where you detach from the reality at hand. It has quite honestly become increasingly depressing, what has happened to such storied promotions all because some monkey fuck got to use his dad's money irresponsibly and without good ethics. No one who truly loves the sport thinks what he is doing is healthy for it. Grow up.

At least it is a new testing method to see which fags we should care about. Either you're a limp-wristed faggot and just take a huge payout from a money mark and play with your gay, lgbt supporting friends
or
you're based and you go work your ass off and see if you get over enough to hang with the big boys like Roman, Cody and Orton.
LA Knight could be hitting the YEAH! button on Rampage right now but instead he wanted to be based and got over huge in front of 3 million weekly viewers

I get Ospreay jumping ship. For a bong wrestler, the allure of Wembley Stadium is just something NJPW can't offer. But poaching Okada seems like a step too far. I've seen the young guys in NJPW. They're fucking geeks. Moxley's lil bro just jobbed to Jack Perry. There's no one who can step up to replace Okada. And he put nobody over on his way out. Fuck are they supposed to do?

It's so fucking weird. It turns out that if you pay indie wrestlers enough money, they don't go looking for outside work. It's like if every office worker got a raise so Instacart died overnight.

The other side effect is everyone not under the WWE or AEW umbrellas is effectively a dimeless shitter because both of those companies will take anyone with a modicum of hype. It isn't like 2006 anymore where it was rare for indie darlings to get on TV, now the two biggest employers are indie marks and it ironically left the indies with only the best of what's left.
