wwe stays beating aew. people don't wanna see "matches" or "long term storytelling". its all about the moments!

Actually more than one survey has said that people who watch wwe over aew think that the aew stories are bad and confusing. Also that they find AEW fans obnoxious, granted that particular one was a reddit survey.



Wait holup, Jacket Time won a match? wtf?

AEW has subtlety and nuance in their storylines. Also, wrestlers who are part of a stable are allowed to be friends with wrestlers who are not part of the stable. Anna/Tay, Hanger/D.O, Sammy/Fuego, Cole/Fish. I'm sure the average E fan can't wrap their head around that.

WWE has spent it's entire existence showing you that not only are you an idiot for having friends but it's also a sign of weakness, a moral failing and only leaving yourself open to betrayal.

I literally saw a whole thread on twitter today where someone was so mad that Hangman Page is friends with the Dark Order because WWE has brain poisoned wrestling fans to believe that having friends makes you a loser, and heaven forbid you have friends with characters who aren't also main eventers because as we all know, if a wrestler shares a screen with anyone below them in the card that instantly ruins them forever because nobody can ever get behind a character who can be friends with someone less successful than them.

It's even more baffling because does nobody remember Hogan was always friends with guys like JYD and Hillbilly Jim?

When you say friends do you mean the same way Cena was friends with Zack Ryder or do you mean actual friends?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say no, plus being friends with Hogan was a sure-fire way to get beat down by that month's monster and then Hogan himself.

That said I think Austin and Jim Ross was always portrayed positively?

Hogan never made out with Hillbilly Jim's romantic interest on TV so more actual friends who served as fodder for heel beatdowns like Blooming Brilliant said

So, at their peak, do you think there was more screen time given to the Nitro Girls dancing than there is wrestling on the average Raw?

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Kevin Owens re-signs with WWE


WWE has landed at least one of their three big free-agent names, as Kevin Owens has re-signed with the company.


Fightful learned several weeks ago that WWE was very interested in retaining Kevin Owens, and made him what sources in the company was "an excellent offer" to stay. WWE sources that we spoke to said they were over the moon about retaining Owens.


Talent within AEW we spoke to didn't think AEW would realistically match what WWE would offer him to stay with the company. Unanimously, AEW talent we spoke to believe there would have been interest, though company officials obviously can't comment on such without tampering issues. 


Owens' deal was originally up much later, but in 2019, he restructured it to expire at the end of January 2022. WWE started the negotiation process with Owens in the fall of 2021, which is a far cry from how they used to do things.


The deal is a multi-year agreement. Fightful will work to learn more information. 

Hope he gets paid for it well. And there's always a chance of being releases in 6 months lol

Nobody's safe from cuts, anyhow. Nick Khan will see Kev's mad money contract and he'll be free (hopefully) soon enough.
