I don't think @Saraya and some of these WWE transfers realize that a lot of the fanbase of AEW actually prefer that company. Saying "you've never done anything" to AEW wrestlers makes the company sound small time, which the fans of this company do not appreciate.

WWE were the only game in town for 20 years, and the shit they did embarrassed everyone. Their influence in the genre is so great that too many people ape their style. And now we're here. I don't care what The Rock told you, wrestling will never be cool. That's WWE's fault.
