>>4760997Hunter Hearst Helmsley was the same gimmick he was using in WCW just w/o the bad French accent. Same with Beeg and Mankind is just Cactus Jack with a mask. In fact, he wasn’t a draw until he did the Cactus Jack and Dude Love reveal. The Ringmaster is also basically Stunning Steve with a buzz cut.
Also, genius… half those guys are using different names in AEW so it’s literally the same thing in reverse. Mox was Dean Ambrose, Bry D was D Bry and Christian Cage was just Christian.
You can’t have it both ways: either retreading talent is bad or it’s not. I’m saying it’s nothing new and it depends on how they are used. All the guys pictured are being used at least as well, if not much better, than they were being used when they left WWE. You can’t really dispute this.
