This is so bad. Using the high ticket prices as part of a story now. And basically shitting on the whole card. I don’t want to hear, “He’s a heel, you’re being worked.” This doesn’t benefit WWE or WrestleMania at all.
@theotherguy00@WrestlePurists It’s simple my stupid friend, back then the NWA shared wrestlers with each other, same with some territories to keep things fresh and have wrestler wrestle new opponents. But you wouldn’t understand that because AEW invented that right? I’m done here lol
@LuisA3OO@WrestlePurists Tbf yeah I probably should have just called you stupid instead of putting a picture that you wouldn't be able to understand.
So please enlighten me on how what Bailey says lead you to believe he didnt know bout NWA or territory systems.
Speedball Mike Bailey feels exclusive contracts are bad for wrestling, praises AEW for their partnerships with other promotions:
“So this is my hot take when it comes to professional wrestling. Exclusive contracts are bad. For pro wrestlers, for the development. I understand there is a need for them. The ecosystem, the companies, it doesn’t work without them and that makes sense. But if everyone in the world could wrestle absolutely anyone else regardless of contracts, just imagine the matchups you would see. Well, we can’t really have that, but the closest thing we can have is what AEW is doing, partnering up with CMLL and New Japan Pro Wrestling, and working together to showcase the best wrestlers from all over the world.
It’s been a problem in professional wrestling for a long time. The lack of diversity in terms of seeing champions from different cultures and races. I think the fact that in order to be considered eligible to become a champion in pro wrestling, you need to speak English, especially as a first language, is completely ridiculous and extremely counterproductive. And I’m glad that it’s become less and less of a thing, and I think it’s due to partnerships like that, and opening up the playing fields to literally letting anyone who is the best at pro wrestling wrestle at the very top, as it should be.
I think putting any kind of barrier on that is absolutely ridiculous. So I think that what AEW is doing right now, you can see it because other companies are following suit, is exactly what needs to happen in professional wrestling.”

Triple H on the latest episode of Cody Rhodes's What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, recounting an Arn Anderson speech about talent creating their own bitterness over their spot on the card:
"I heard Arn one time. There was this conversation about mid-card guys and he's never gonna be champ, and all this stuff. And Arn went off on this huge promo.
He said, you guys all see me as a big deal, right? I got a Hall of Fame worthy career. He said, mid-carder. Nothing more ever. I never main evented a thing unless I was in the ring with Flair. If I was tagging with Flair, I was in the main event. If I wasn't, nothing. I was a guy there to get guys over on the way to getting up to the Dustys and the Flairs.
You guys see me as this unbelievable legend. But when it comes to your own careers, and many of you have already surpassed the position I was ever in, you're miserable about it because you think you haven't reached the success of other things.
But yet I see myself as having this amazing career. Like, man, what a journey I've had. But if I used your metrics to measure it, mid-card. I'm nothing. I never amounted to anything. They wasted my talents.
You create your own bitterness."

@LuisA3OO@BustedOpenRadio@The_MJF@KennyOmegamanX@davidlagreca1 Yes Willie Mack is on a contract similar to that of TNA talent but he’s not being pulled from indie shots, it’s just TK doesn’t have anything for him. He’s been working JCW & GCW very frequently.

Only ppl mad at Carlos Silva is foos that never ran a business or dudes that don’t know what its like to protect an asset or an investment it’s that simple and not hard to understand why he don’t want his wrestlers jobbing to wrestlers from a company that already fucked them over
@DeanJamesAFC@LobCityGimmick@Ian_Feed Lmfao now it’s moving the goalposts. I know it hurts saying they TNA didn’t benefited from AEW and it’s okay! There’s no need to get angry now CMLL did and are benefiting from AEW that partnership is great but hey what do I know right? 😂
@DeanJamesAFC@LobCityGimmick@Ian_Feed lol assuming I’m tribal is funny since it’s not about your favorite company, I speak my mind when any company is doing something bad, and hey you gotta stay quiet when AEW raids NJPW roster and raiding the CMLL roster..
@LuisA3OO@LobCityGimmick@Ian_Feed Yes, because I’m the one lying… Not the individual that’s clearly a tribalist wrestling fan and doesn’t actually understand the nuances and contexts of what goes on and how things work, in wrestling.
@LobCityGimmick That company who "fucked them over" allegedly. Was also the same company that held their world title with the same amount of respect as their own.
Meanwhile, the company who helped them get a TV deal, treats TNAs world title as being no different than there development title.
