@hydenfrank @VicNeumann1 Only the main event guys get long entrances..most of the other's get cut off by 90 secs and off to commercial..do you even watch ? or just complain for the sake of complaining.

@VicNeumann1 The big difference with what you mentioned (some of which sucked, some was good) is that the Attitude Era was so much better paced. A wrestler having a 5 minute entrance would never happen then. Now we'll see 2 or 3 of those per episode. The pacing now makes bad things worse.

Isn’t it funny how WWE fans act like the Sami Zayn-Gingerbread Man story is the worst thing ever, when they love the Attitude Era and want it back? Are we forgetting that the Attitude Era had some of the most goofy, cringeworthy, and poorly-aged moments in wrestling? (1/4)

@ChopCountry @Aimeelytle80 They wanted giulia since 2022..it was a no brainer signing.

@Aimeelytle80 They only signed people like Guilia, Jeff Cobb, Fenix to make a splash in free agency because it would look bad if the #1 company in the world... wasn't signing free agents. It creates short-term buzz.

So according to the IWC, WWE should: - Move talent up from NXT more often. Everyone "deserves" to be on the main roster - Don't release/fire anyone, ever -3 hour Smackdown is too long -use everyone they have Hire more, don't fire, reduce TV time, give more TV time. HUH??? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@AAguilar0212 @heavenisatrux @Slappa_WWE He sucked in new japan since 2020..he was washed.

@heavenisatrux @Slappa_WWE JC never said a word lmao

By the way this is the guy WWE got to wrestle in street clothes, become a bloodline forcer, have four singles matches, then released a year later One of the most uninspired creative directions for a wrestler the likes of Jeff Cobb. Disappointed

@CincinnatiWiLL @Kephfas LOL..they said the same shit when gallows and anderson got shit canned and life just moved on .

@Kephfas You think people deciding to tell companies fuck off when they try to low ball them on contract restructures wont have an effect? It will 100% make some people not bother talking to TKO and make others not resign with them once their deals end if thats how they treated New Day

It’s literally not going to be a “turning point” at all. Catering is just going to need some new workers. This isn’t 2019 anymore. Btw - doesn’t the IWC constantly complain about how shit WWE in 2019 was?

@nickfother @ShawnDraven1 Nobody gives a shit about aew..even if nxt produces one oba and trick every 2 yrs wwe will be more than fine.

@ShawnDraven1 I also have the feeling that no matter how many of their favorites depart from WWE they still will continue to watch and pay money to WWE even if they are miserable with the product and constantly upset/complaining

At this rate, I think a lot of WWE fans won't watch AEW because they're scared that they might end up liking it more than they like WWE.

@_will_you_stop @Krolliox @ShawnDraven1 Why would he when the alternative is even worse and has no stars.

@Krolliox @ShawnDraven1 You know if WWE becomes shit in your opinion you could maybe stop watching WWE? 😂

@ToonamiM @LightYagami101 @ShawnDraven1 Nah..they don't like garbage like osprey all of a sudden aligning with the death riders..it's stupid and insults intelligence and the non existent women's division.

@LightYagami101 @ShawnDraven1 But they'll enjoy garbage like Gingerbread Man. Make it make sense.

@elite13933 @kirbygt79 @ShawnDraven1 Penta and fenix had successful careers before aew..only one they picked up who was aew home grown was Jade..and she will be out of a job by next yr.

@kirbygt79 @ShawnDraven1 If that were the case, why do WWE seem to get and poach AEW talent that have walked into the main roster, Penta, Fenix, and so on?

@JrMendiola92 @BobMage70323520 @BJBethelTweets @BackupHangman Sure thing..everyone will thrive in aew..lol

@BobMage70323520 @BJBethelTweets @BackupHangman Man I'm a WWE fan and I hope every big name from Roman to Seth leave the fucking company ASAP.. Fuck them

Proud of Kofi and Woods. Fuck you, pay me.

@Callumdjb @BackupHangman LOL..she's 37 and almost ready to retire..and she can't use her wwe name in aew..so it won't make any difference.

@BackupHangman A huge part of why Tk should probably hand Bayley a blank check when the time comes. Purely from a vibes standpoint I think her leaving could be similiar to Cody leaving in 2022 in terms of the effects it will have on both locker rooms.

Wrestlers LOVE Kofi and Woods. God tier locker room vibes guys

@BackupHangman Same was said about cole,danielson and cesaro..lol

@JohnD1219SINYC @Zack_Heydorn They got no leverage..they will bend the knee to tony if they want that guaranteed deal.

@coolnick55 @Zack_Heydorn Shitting on their negotiating power and value isnt the flex u think it is

Man, wild to hear about Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston departing WWE. Both have been a strong presence on #WWE television for more than a decade. Some thoughts ....

@jemklin19833 @juicethetank @Sinneswandel3 @itsBayleyWWE She won't be missed..they have like 10 women on nxt who can replace her and she's also not that over like she was before..she will come crawling back after her in ring retirement to take a pc job.

@juicethetank @Sinneswandel3 She won't leave, brother. I'm almost certain that this woman, @itsBayleyWWE, once her contract expires, will re-sign with those people. They'll give her a title to trick her, then take it away and bury her again like they have for months. Don't insist.

Bayley should do the same thing The New Day did.

@Charizardneck35 @Vandech999 @Cory_Hays407 If he under performs or comes out to crickets like the new day they will cut him or low ball.

@Vandech999 @Cory_Hays407 Gunther signed new deal early 2025 and his new deal comes with his own bus and only biggest names in the company have their own bus, that feels like something TKO would do

Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were recently asked to restructure their recently signed multi-year deals by TKO. Both declined and requested their releases from the company.

@KingZestay @BackupHangman AEW have signed bigger stars and the loyal & hardcore WWE fanbase did not transfer...the old and stale new day ain't making any difference.

@coolnick55 @BackupHangman Its about the 3 Rs Nick Khan says all the time. Ratings, Relevancy, and Revenue. AEW being a destination for stars can impact ratings & relevancy in addition to these sudden moves to a loyal & hardcore WWE fanbase

These niggas are not playing y’all. Look at how much they’re making Roman Reigns work for his new bread. He’s working like 12 consecutive TVs for the first time since PRE PANDEMIC. Nick and Ari are not playing son.

@KingZestay @BackupHangman They don't give a fuck about aew and tony can't sign everyone or his company will be bankrupt.

@BackupHangman Its gonna be run ruthless like the UFC, but I don’t think that will work with WWE, not when AEW is around. Let’s see how long this greediness lasts and Nick Khan has to fix it.

@Cole173x @BackupHangman Nah..they just coping..they are never releasing punk.

@BackupHangman Is his deal up soon or something? Why has this been a topic the past few days

I put the odds of CM Punk reuniting with AEW at non-zero.

@xeam_oce @BackupHangman He was there for 20 yrs and 15 yrs under vince and readily accepted the slop including getting squashed by brock...he would be still there if they paid him.

@BackupHangman Bro if we didn't have AEW to funnel genuinely talented wrestlers into, the industry would be cooked. Couldn't imagine guys like Kofi just sitting there for years having to put up with dealing with this slop expecting to be happy.

All of this is only going to continue to add to the already growing tension/resentment/animosity between the veterans in WWE and the PC talent.

@mangaandchill11 @protosoaa @BackupHangman Nah..if they like the talent and feel they are worth it they will try..fatal influence is getting a rocket push..Jade has had multiple chances to get over.

@protosoaa @BackupHangman Yep, setting up a bunch of wrestlers for failure from the get go

They’re swindlers. You lure em in with big money, and whether the talent knows it or not. They’re on a one year clock to get over to justify their pay or get cut.

@SaxmanPictures @BackupHangman Tko ain't dropping 7 figures for a E&C nostalgia run.

@BackupHangman If you're a tag team, the message is "stay the fuck away". The VAST MAJORITY of the most decorated tag team wrestlers in WWE history are about to be working for AEW. WWE does not care about tag team wrestling anymore.

If you’re a wrestler that gets offered big money in WWE, you have to be cognizant of the fact that unless you get over as a top talent and/or big merch seller, WWE is gonna try to get out of that deal as soon as possible. Main roster minimum is $350,000. If you’re like, a midcarder and they throw 500 bands at you, you’re getting that for a year bro. You’re gonna get whacked. Unless you find yourself a YEET.
