I shoot saw a post on a TEW forum a couple of years ago laying out similarities between AEW and what people do on TEW kek. I cant find the post or remember the specifics but stuff like
>Tournaments
>Putting all the midcard guys in stables
>female managers there to give angles a sex appeal boost but nothing else (Harley Cameron? Lol)
>stunt bumps in every match to try get a better match rating
>hiring friends of his workers to boost locker room morale
>books squash matches against unsigned talent to boost his workers without any of his talent having to put them over
>roster way too big
>B show nobody watches to give TV time to unused midcarders on his massive roster
>Hires veterans to put over young talent (Sting, Jericho, Big Show, Dusty)
>talent trades with japan
>hires anyone WWE releases
>pushes people he's an irl mark for rather than people with actual talent
