>>15864952Yeah, I'm not really a WWE basher (okay, maybe a little, but I bash AEW a bit too).
It's like the one poster said, it's "cinema." But some of us want to watch for "wrestling". And when that gets diluted, it just isn't the same.
I'm happy for anyone who goes to the WWE. That's the dream for most of these people. But I kind of see it as the retirement home for wrestlers who haven't actually retired yet. Do your shows, take your wins, take your losses, get paid.
It's about selling out. And I'm not anti-selling out -- making money by gaining mass appeal is the name of the game. People continue to entertain millions of people after selling out. But what originally made you great is always sacrificed in the process.
