Tony and his fans like to say that he (his dad) has enough money to keep AEW going forever. But what will AEW look like in 5-10 years? Where are their stars going to come from? WWE has NXT and other developmental systems in place, but AEW has no such thing. Will AEW only ever consist of WWE and NJPW scraps and rejects? They haven't developed a single talent. Their entire main event scene is ex-WWE or New Japan guys.

WWE has a steady pipeline of fresh talent. Your opinion on whether they're good or not is worthless. AEW's main event is all ex-WWE and NJPW guys.

Sammy Guevera would still be wrestling in a Panda Hat if Jericho didn't set him straight. Once he was out of Jericho's sphere of influence and needed a fave gimmick, he busted it out again, not learning anything of what Jericho was trying to teach him.

MJF? Same thing. An expensive scarf is not a gimmick. None of these fags can grow out of their indie characters because AEW encourages laziness and apathy.

Yes. And you wanna know something really funny? When the samoans in WWE start aging out and getting released, Tony will sign them all and do his own Temu version of coconut community theater.

I assume AEW is going to downsize itself eventually which will resemble 2010's TNA/Impact. Perhaps Tony will find a residency somewhere and they'll stop touring, or they'll continue with smaller venues. There's genuinely no money left to be made in wrestling, even WWE is washed.

The whole fucking problem with wrestling is that companies sign wrestlers as long term investments like it's a "sport" instead of casting actors to play specific characters that are written to be agents in a coherent narrative. Like normal TV shows that normal people actually watch and can follow without getting a headache.
We still look at shit like "drawing dimes" and "getting over" like it's the fucking territory era. It's 2025. You're not signing talent for their statistical output. This isn't the NBA. You're writing a TV show for a general audience.

Brief stint in NJPW only has a job because him and the bucks are friends he would have been gone so long ago had it not been for that

Only appeared in WWE once pretty sure he was like enhancement talent or a extra or some shit but he wasnt developed he did try to get on tough enough so this is correct he is indy talent they signed on
>Darby Allin
Full on indy talent never has seen WWE/TNA/NJPW ever this is the only one that is completely clean of anything at high level that being said he is a shoot fucking retarded for ruining a relationship with Gigi fat assed Dolin.

Except she was signed and spent like 10 months hidden away and not on tv. That's not going straight to the main roster. Just because she wasn't on NXT didn't mean she wasn't training at the PC every single day the NXT roster was

Because Monroe is tv ready immediately. Jade was not. They paraded Cargill around for a week of shows and then hid her away while they trained her off of tv. She had her 'NXT run' it just wasn't on tv

meanwhile, AEW just signed kevin knight and thekla. there are always going to be young wrestlers on the indies and secondary promotions that make a name for themselves. the best of them will get signed by AEW or WWE.

WWE's performance center has been around for like 20 years and the only stars they ever produced are the guys that were already stars in other companies, who just went there to learn how to become lazy shitters that are no longer worth watching.

You mean the fake number from that British bingo hall Will Assplay tattooed himself? Fake news, even Dave himself admitted its bullshit.

Apparently to be counted in AEW "paid attendance", you don't actually have to attend the show
If you thought attendance was necessary to count in the attendance number, you thought wrong

>Mariah May
Wrestled in RevPro and Stardom, not built by AEW. Next!
>Toni Storm
Progress, Stardom, a bunch of Euro indies, NXT and got creampied by Charlotte on SmackdownLive. KWAB! Next!
>Orange Cassidy
Peaked when LARPing as an ant. Next!
>Hangman
ROH and New Japan
>Swerve
He trained while in the military, got his first "big" in everyone's favorite outlaw shitshow CZW. Then Evolve, WXW, MLW and a bunch more indies before being in Lucha Underground, then NXT. He's literally the one who owes the least to AEW.

None of these people were built there.

AEW needs their own wrestling school, not a partnership, but their own school. But Tony refuses to do it
He'd rather just snipe indy prospects like Billie Starkz and Nick Wayne, along with NJPW/MLW/AAA talents

Yeah, there's not going to be a lot of people to poach moving forward. Tony raided NJPW and NJPW is just not producing people like they used to. WWE owns AAA and if Tony tries to poach people from CMLL, CMLL will stop working with them. The indies also suck.

I just don't get it. Tony has the money and already has a thing going with Dustin Rhodes training academy. He could do what WWE does, scout people who fit what he's looking for and be good for years. But he has no interest in doing so.

Yes, to "develop" talents from the indie scene they've already bled dry. Where are the fresh faces gonna come from in 5 years?

Tony doesn't really need to poach from CMLL. CMLL pay is dirt and CMLL lets their talent work in the US all they want if they're not needed in Mexico. Plus Mexico is a lot closer to the US than Japan.
