>>14144987I don’t see a problem with what he said. He’s not console warring he’s just going credit where credit is due in terms of the domino effect of events that allowed all of this to happen. Without AEW and naturally without AEW self imploding and turning into a train wreck WWE wouldn’t have changed their product like they have maybe but we SURELY would not have gotten Cody back as the American Nightmare and Punk would’ve stayed bitter, retired and left all his bridges unmended.
AEW was realistically never actual competition but sometimes even the THREAT or illusion of competition pushes the business forward. AEW (its short success and more importantly its pitfalls) were among the first dominos to fall to get us here. Ariel is correct. There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging the path and what had to happen for us to get here.
If you disagree you’re shoot from from most shortbus plane of console war mongerers in the most autistic trenches of Planet Retard
