It’s a shame two veterans can’t behave in the locker room.

Hopefully our fearless EVPs Nicholas Lee and Mathew Ronjon Jackson can have a meeting with them

    That long line is totally overblown as there’s just as many stories about talk about the relationships between some of the vets and some of the youngsters.

    And in defense of some of those at AEW, it was setup to be something different to WWE, and the top of the card had plenty of folks who had got over and made money outside of the WWE. I think there’s a reasonable case that they might not have needed to learn as much. And any WWE vet coming in may well have needed to pick their brains; at least in the early days anyway.

      Whatever aew set out to be, I just see mid 90s wcw all over again, there’s a glass ceiling and you won’t get through it unless you’re liked by a certain clique. And if you ever rise and take away any of their spotlight, you’re now their enemy. Anyways, I give it another year or two before aew is down to impact levels of viewers, if they can even keep a tv contract

        The NWO was 1996.

        And WCW 1996-1998 was possibly the best 3 year stretch of any professional wrestling company ever, and is certainly by far my favorite period ever.

        So I sincerely hope that AEW becomes “mid 90s wcw all over again.”

          LOL, that’s actually so true. late 90s WCW, no thanks. mid 90s WWF, yuck. but mid 90s WCW was on an epic run.
