Their argument isn't even that WWE didn't misuse them but that AEW misused them more. Can't even put the fed over clean in your fan tweet.

I'm willing to hear an argument for Black purely when it comes to NXT vs. AEW. Anything else is lol and further, lmao.

Forget their booking for a second, WWE fired all of them. How can you misuse someone worse than that.

Having them wrestle on the main roster during the pandemic.
And by "wrestle" I specifically mean hang out at catering.

I mean, okay, at least they get paid for that.
I hope.

Keep in mind that in WWE most of the talent pays for their own travel costs, so just imagine how frustrating it would be to get told to fly out for every show and then not get used

Imagine if you're on a day off and your boss calls you to say you need to be on the other side of the country on half a day's notice, you're paying for your own flight and hotel and rental car (and presumably none of that is being expensed), and when you get there you just sit in a cafeteria for 12 straights hours just in case they need you for like one small thing. Also you need to repeat this for the next 6 days before you can go home.

They do not cover rental cars, hotel or meals (outside of catering.) They do pay for flights and on European tours pay for the a tour bus.

This is literally exactly why Toni Storm almost quit the business entirely

WWE is such trash and I seriously have no idea why anyone thinks business decisions will be meaningfully different under HHH. He's head of creative but I'm pretty sure Nick Khan can fire people whenever he wants and there's nothing anyone can do about it

I fully expect half the people who go back there to get hosed over in the long run and end up calling TK asking to come back within a year

It wasn't even a suplex! Also, looking at a GIF it kind of looks like Britt's fault (if anyone has to be at fault). She's basically taking a Samoan Drop and doesn't hang onto Athena's arm/shoulder at all on the drop.

Of course, it's all kind of subjective as to who is at fault because nobody really has to be at fault. It's wrestling and poo poo happens. Sometimes you slip, sometimes things don't go as planned. Hopefully her nose isn't as busted as Ruby's.

I was truly blown away that this was a recurring sentiment in the quote tweets in response to the announcement of the Jericho/Bandido match. "Claudio is getting the wrong kind of TV time" is a new level of whiny wrestling fan

It's really annoying how they treat the ROH Titles like poo poo and keep them off of the main TV show! Ignore that awesome Pure Title Dynamite main event from 3 weeks ago.

Hey I bought tickets to two wrestling shows where Claudio main evented and scored the fall at the end. Maybe if some of those fuckers had turned on the TV for Battle of the Belts, he wouldn't have eaten that Judas Effect.

Based on what I can see, it's not really anyone's fault - it looks like Britt lost her grip as Athena's going for the fallaway/Samoan drop thing.
