>>16516160>>16516277Wrestlers LOVE the fact that there's another American company that can pay people million dollar contracts. It gives everyone more bargaining power and increases the price floor for top talent. Look at how a midcarder like Ricochet was able to get way more money than what WWE would have given him.
>>16516173Even amongst the dirtsheets and podcasters the console war is a work (at least amongst those with a clue). For guys like Cornette and Russo who hate AEW it's something to laugh at and generate content from. I remember early on in its existence AEW did something so egregious that Corny said he'd never watch it again. But his numbers fell and he changed his mind a week later. Also a lot of the perception that WWE is good again comes from people complaining about AEW. It's cool to be a WWE fan again because they look good in comparison to AEW fans.
/pw/ has too much console warriors in my opinion but this place would be dead without it.
