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

I think you’ve missed the joke; so to respond to some of your post at face value.
Assuming you’re talking about the apparent beef Punk had because Page said he didn’t really take advice much. Should Page have to? At the time he said that he was 14 1/2 odd years into his career, if you exclude the 7 years where Punk did something else, Page has only wrestled for about 3 1/2 years less than Punk.
In any case, i’m pretty sure Page said that with tongue firmly in cheek anyway, and what he was getting at was that you can’t just do what someone tells you and assume its going to work, you have to take the chance and figure out how to do it yourself, your own way. Which I think is a pretty reasonable take for a guy who’d been wrestling for more than 14 years at the time, including 6 years since he’d first started on NJPW shows, and 3 years of wrestling on AEW TV.
He wasn’t some fricking n00b especially given he was after all the champion at the time that all went down.
I appreciate you actually explaining it but does Hangman Page share a bank account with his mother that’ll tell me everything I need to know about him
There’s a big line of older wrestlers or people who know the business that have expressed that the culture at aew is “we’re already amazing so you can’t teach me shit”. Meanwhile you have 40 something years olds like the young bucks, calling themselves the new generation when they’re at retirement age
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
Don’t hurt yourself moving those goal posts, buddy.
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.
40 is the new 30!
