All Elite Wrestling/ALL IN 2 - paperwork been filed, in a positive sense. :ohhh:

CM Punk isn’t more known than Chris Jericho

that's cuz hes from a bigger era.
Jericho was never a headline attraction at any point ever. and he certainly isn't gonna become one as a flabby 48 year old.​

they don't need cm punk tho. but brining in someone like cm punk would put them over the top.​

as for Jericho. hes good for being a productive established name, but he better not headline any big events.
​

I don't think there's ever been a talent who became owner/booker who didn't eventually book himself as the top guy. Literally anywhere in the history of pro wrestling.

Gedo?

Gedo just hot shotted a dude to legendary status and made sure he was in the frame with him in every shot for 6 years, not self serving at all

Jun Akiyama...

Jun Akiyama...

Did he not win the Triple Crown after taking over AJPW?

No, he won it the first time when Mutoh was still in power. The second time he won it it was 2 years after Jun took over and had it for a month as a transitional reign for Suwama.

And he never booked himself on top in NOAH either. He had 1 reign when he was more involved with booking and it was the transition to the failed experiment of making Marufuji champ.

"A modern roster" huh? I see you, Cody

I don't want to hate, but I see a lot of pandering.

A lot of talk about changing the business and now they're all when people bring up unions and health insurance. "Hey guys, let's talk about them N64 wrestling games!"

I'm trying to be optimistic, but the reality is they're just carnies like all the rest and they've struck gold by finding a billionaire money mark.

this is the bottom line. BUT maybe it will work and be good for us, the fans. its not my 100 million dollar investment

Hopefully Khan isn't getting played like he is with the Jaguars. The cacs in front office are taking advantage of him to feed their egos

Foh the blassics upon blassics and money made proved he was right in putting the rocket to Okada.

the entire campaign is pandering.

they've already made it into the cool promotion, and they barely have anybody on the roster.

even got WWE plantation viewers peepin over the fences in this thread, like "I hope they do well so i can stop watching the WWE"...…..whatever that means.

sure but you used the phrase 'booking themselves as the top guy'.

I don't see how they keep the momentum not having any shows until May. It worked with all in when they had NJPW/ROH to promote on.

Won't work this time if all they have are little indies to do it on.

they'll be fine.

people are alreadly locked in.

the fact that this thread is 73 pages on a WWE plantation site, and they havnt done anything but a press conference, says it all.

One thing even hateful ass I have to give Cody credit for is how he's been able to control the narrative about his career of being a self made man despite getting into the business because his dad was one of the legends, he was put on TV not even a year into training and immediately given a big push, a year later he's having PPV feuds with HHH and HBK despite being like....literally 2 years into the game. And his whole gimmick was that of having a legend as a father. In a stable of other guys with legendary fathers. He gets 8 years of constant TV time out of this before leaving, and of course every indie wants to book Dusty Rhodes' son who has been on TV for 8 years. Then he by luck gets to ride on the Bullet Club wave, co-opts Kenny and the Buck's webshow, and now gets to play with a billionaire's money.

All this while getting people to believe he's done this all on his own with hard work and hustle, that he's his own man and doesn't need the Rhodes name, despite constantly mentioning his bloodline. He's put in more hustle into building the narrative of his career than his actual career.
