I just want to see Kenny vs AJ on a big show before both retire
Kenny vs. AJ is for hardcore fans. The Elite vs. Bloodline (Kenny vs Roman, Bucks vs Usos) is the money if they want to do a super show. Although they could also have Mox inserted into Seth vs Rollins instead because WWE loves their Shield reunions.
Kenneth had his chance. If he went to WWE from 2017-2019, it would change nothing about the timeline. Every company would have improved from it.
no millly
no willy
no billy?
maybe get the smashing pumpkins for either Wrestlemania or all-out?
nick khan wants it?
Vince is the only person in power who was against it because he thought AEW was WCW, a company out to kill him and put him out of business. Once he realized that AEW was never actually a threat, he laid down his arms.
Someone talked sense into him and Nick has openly talked about working with “anyone and everyone” on conference calls, this carny wrestling bullshit war doesn’t mean shit to Nick.
I forgot to mention that an NBC Universal executive was invited to Bischoff’s podcast to shit on AEW but instead praised it and spoke glowingly about it. There’s no war anymore, the war exists only in the minds of the fans.
THE FRIDAY NIGHT WAR
>AEW is WCW 2.0
This mentality still hasn't disappeared. It's the basis for everyone that legit believed and still believes that AEW will go under in x amount of years. It's fricking dumb.
Vince eventually saw it for the alternative it is. He let the "wrestlers" go and went 100% into the sports entertainment route, which is actually working, with WWE's TV currently more acclaimed than it's been in 10 years or more while AEW operates as a slightly more traditional pro wrestling promotion. The business is pretty balanced and in a good place right now between the two of them.
I think this is spot on honestly, and it's made WWE better at least. I don't actually watch AEW but I assume it must be pretty good now with people like Cesaro in a workrate fed.
Yep. Regardless of which one you like or if you watch both, most bases are covered and everything seems pretty balanced. It's honestly kind of weird looking back at Vince's "Maybe I'll send them a couple more" comment, like he was already thinking along these lines. AEW didn't force WWE to "book better", it just kind of became the pro wrestling promotion and WWE adjusted by just going full on sports entertainment. It's working for both, business is good, both are selling out arenas everywhere and doing good television, have a lot of people talking all the time. It's kind of crazy how it's all turning out.
>WWE's TV currently more acclaimed than it's been in 10 years
that bar is so fricking low that it means nothing. the best thing they've done is the zeke angle which they put KO in as a rib and like most everything else he turns it into gold.
>There’s no war anymore, the war exists only in the minds of the fans.
actual wrestlers know this and make fun of homosexuals over it.
would actually like to see what roman can do in a match kenny is in charge of. him, ziggler and gable i feel like could have some really good non-wwe style matches.
>would actually like to see what roman can do in a match kenny is in charge of.
This is the one advantage for WWE's love of the no contest. If there was a crossover show you'd get the dream matches but they'd all be no contests. My guess is they'd try and work a "power vs cardio" angle where Kenny tries to outlast him.
>all no contests
yeah no
>power vs cardio
...which one is Reigns?
You will NEVER get Logan Paul. Stay jealous.
Who?
Is he on Dynamite or Rampage?
Jake is still a free agent tho
isnt he that homosexual that tried to make money off a corpse? why would anyone want him?
So what you're saying is, the PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING console war IS A WORK?
Vince is not gone
The last true draw in Professional Wrestling...
You could do the BCC/Mox shit vs SEFFF and some lackies as well
This would be awesome, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Dimesola
>acting as if roman and the bloodline arent 20x more famous
no one fricking knows who roman reigns is
>starting July 30th 2022
>Elite vs the Bloodline
>BCC vs Seff and someone?? I don't watch WWE so help me here
>Christian and Edge team up for one last match against Jungle Express (it's also their last match, since they'll part ways after this and just want revenge against Christian)
>Ronda vs Hayter
>Shida vs Asuka (if she's still good, if not then I guess Becky?)
>Judgement Day vs Best Friends
What else should be added to the card?
>Creed Brothers vs Mox/Danielson
>Darby/Sting vs RKBro
>Darby/Sting vs RKBro
This has an unlimited potential of dimes, especially if Sting ends up getting punted by Orton
>Ronda vs Hayter
Jesus you’re moronic, thankfully you don’t book the actual shows. Hayter is a anti draw and the worst wrestler in aew
Hayter's not an anti draw. To the people who know of her she's quite popular. It looks like she hits hard (probably is), she can wrestle, work, cut a promo, and imo she has a really nice ass, especially when she wears the thigh straps. She really should be pushed for a title run one day.
1) No woman is a draw, moron
2) Jamie Hayter is, right now, one of the few women wrestlers who can put a match together and actually make it interesting, which is more than can be said about 95% of women in the insustry
kevin owens vs orange cassidy would be a 5* match
max caster and john cena having a rap battle
chad gable vs pac
hook vs bron breakker
>Elite vs Bloodline
Any homosexual who doesn't understand that this would be the modern equivalent of the Goldberg vs Steve Austin dream match needs to stop talking about wrestling on the internet.
Frick that just make it the Shield vs the Elite
I see exactly 0 draws on that picture
Look at the upper half
Based Elite vs literal poo in loo Black folk
A healthy fake competition between the two will be lame, but stockholders probably feel like there's more money to be made in indirectly working together.
AEW would benefit a lot more, unless WWE wanted to reposition itself as a semi-serious wrestling company
Both companies would benefit immensely. WWE can get back the hundreds of thousands of fans they’ve run off in the past few years and AEW would do around 1.7 million viewers every week if we had crazy Invasion angles, like Roman showing up on Dynamite and laying out some of the AEW roster. WWE would also put to rest the theory that they don’t play nice with other companies.
I guarantee that if it ever happens wwe shows will move to the no milly section and it will be permanent
It will happen though but only after vince's death
Just think of all the cool match ups we can get on a WWE x AEW super card!
>WWE Wrestler vs Ex-WWE Wrestler
SHIELD BROTHERS SOON.
i don't get claudio's appeal. his shit is super pg and the big swing is the most boring shit in the world, but he's a big deal to smarks? is it just workrate shit or what?
I always saw him as one of the biggest jobbers
Vince fricks everybody but no one as badly as those who choose to work with him.
Vince tried as hard as he possibly could to kill AEW and now that it’s clearly not going to happen, he might as well be a partner promotion to AEW. He can’t kill them, that much is clear. Counter-programming didn’t work, calling up sponsors didn’t work, running the same arenas first didn’t work, he might as well put his ego aside and give fans what they want.
Both have their respective audiences and both are dominating the cable charts aside from big playoff sports. People can wrestle in WWE without having to be chained to an exclusive contract. Cody himself probably tried smoothing things over between both promotions.
fake news
>Claudio debuts
>Acqurie milly
why the frick did the E let this gigachad go?
consolewarbros...how do we stop this?
You won’t, you’ll just have to transition (kek) to lighthearted shitposting
I wouldn't mind something more like the 2016 RAWtist vs Smackchad type of consolewar than what we have right now
if you hate wwe, don't post in wwe-related threads and vice versa. you generally aren't going to convince edrones or aewtists to start watching the other unless it's of their own volition.
Fake ass mvp wannabe
If Triple H takes over after Vince, there’s no doubt in my mind there will be some type of crossover. He really likes caterijg to the marks and always wanted NXT to have partnerships.
But if you cater to the diehards, how do you grow your product?
Having some big AEW names show up on WWE TV for a few weeks would pop ratings just due to the interest and surrealism of it al
This just tells me AEW is no longer a threat.
Remember when Kurt Angle was talking shit about TNA on RAW?
A threat to the WWE? You considered AEW a threat to WWE? Brother the only console warring that exists is in the minds of cult fans from both WWE and AEW. The rest of us normal fans just enjoy our wrestling and or entertainment
Nah Vince I mean he considered them a minor threat, but that was just precaution incase AEW took off.
He saw the writing on the wall, no longer saps viewers with NXT and is okay with wrestlers talking about them. Also the banter comment about sending Tony some toys to play with.
Oh ok brother I hope we're ushering into another golden era of wrestling. I haven't seen WWE in decades. I saw Codys wrestlemania and HOC match. WWE really looks nice, professional, crisp today and some of the wrestlers are amazing. Whatever happens to it I hope it falls in the right hands because I'm liking this direction the wrestling industry is in
MJF with Vince in his corner vs Punk with Tony in his. Imagine the boos if Vince shows up on dynamite
i would much prefer seeing heyman in mjf's corner instead, chosen people alliance against goyim
>dimwits pretending Romannetty and his cousins are on the level of The Super-ELITE
How many people tune into the show the "Super Elite" are on?
How many people tune into the show "Roman and his cousins" are on?
How many times has Reigns outdrawn Bunny lol?
WWE wrestlers largely only know to wrestle the "WWE style", I think any crossover matches would be really awkward as they adjust to the other person
I thought this was reasonable until you mentioned Forbidden Door with a straight face.
At this point it behooves WWE, AEW, TNA etc. to work together as much as possible. Wrestling's time in the cultural wheelhouse is done and with the current recession possibly leading to a Depression, no one has money to do shit right now.
The smartest company will be taking a hard look at and making adjustments for the worst case scenario in order to survive right now. Part of that is full cooperation with a "business rival".
I'm telling ya guys. You think shits bad right now, just wait.
>the current recession possibly leading to a Depression
reddit-tier economics, reddit spacing, please go back you dumb poor.
why the frick would wrestling promotions during a "depression" work together, subsequently splitting profits, over being more cut throat than ever before? reality is in a situation like that they'd all be fighting to be sold to a larger conglomerate who can fund them through a down economic period.
New Japan is already owned by one.
>splitting profits
The fact you think FD was 1:1 coproduction with them splitting the gate and ppv revenue just because it said AEWxNJPW on the poster is the cutest display of markdom I’ve seen on Fhite :3
only if one buys the other
It would be kinda based, senpai. Kenny/Roman, Bucks/Usos, Moxley/Rollins, AJ Styles wrestling anyone. It’s an honest to god shame we’ll never get Kenny Omega refusing to acknowledge Roman Reigns, I’m serious.
We just keep winning
