>>18810335>the indies have been killed by AEWBut AEW basically stopped signing from the US indies almost 2 years ago. UK and Mexico, sure, plus NJPW/Stardom were raided and TNA had an exodus.
But it's been long enough since the US indies were "killed" by AEW/NXT, indie talent being "snatched up as soon as they show any promise" demonstrably doesn't happen anymore. That was 4-5 years ago, not today. Yet we're still not seeing any signs of recovery. There's really no excuse for the indies anymore. Indie wrestlers are just not putting the work in.
