I haven't watched wrestling in years so this is a real question has anyone who WWE ignored or misused proved them wrong yet by becoming some revelation in AEW? Please no match quality stuff, I mean are they a star there like they weren't in WWE?
One could argue dean ambrose but they'd be wilfully ignoring the many months as WWE champ and ppv main eventer and looking at the last few months of his time at WWE.

Other than him quite arguably...no.

I think Cody Rhodes might be the only one. Even though AEW fans tired of him towards the end of his run.

And if we want to take it there, Kenny and Pentagon Jr are lower tier now too :manny: they were 2 of the 5 most over people in the world at one point, with Cena, Brock, and either okada or psycho clown or AJ styles.

Penta is nowhere near the star he should be right now.

How many people in AMerica actually knew who Omega was if they weren't watching indies or New Japan though, which is the vast majority of American wrestling fans?

Remember that next time you pretend to act like a NJPW talent showing up in aew is a big deal

Lana might mess around and fumble the family bag. Miro is getting paid to sit at home, play video games, and make the occasional trip to Ikea.
Collecting a paycheck to not take bumps, deal with backstage drama, or smell The Unwashed is a really sweet deal for Miro. He won!
Lana should keep her mouth shut, and silently keep spending that YouTube money.
To be fair, some people want to be used well at their jobs.

We complain when people don't give a shyt and just go through the motions without passion & don't try to get better, then when they take their work seriously and it's the company that doesn't give them a shot, then we say, "You signed up for this"

Okay, so don't complain next time people just collect a check, go through the motions, and don't give a shyt, and are lazy:yeshrug:

Tony Khan's a shytty booker.

Virtually all of those people have been booked terribly, including CM Punk & Bryan Danielson

Ironically, a lot of these people would be better off in WWE now that Triple H is booking

Out of all the ex-WWE guys, Pac/Swerve/Keith Lee have been booked the best since they've all been champions in AEW with high profile fueds that were well received. FTR are also more over now than they ever were in WWE.

With regards to the Lucha Bros, AEW didn't initially push them because they didn't want to sign long-term contracts. They were signing 1 year deals, but I think they're locked up now since they've been tag champs and trios champ with Pac now. They're also teasing Fenix splitting from Penta and Pac now too.

Edit - Forgot FTR was also tag champs too.

My thoughts have evolved from when HHH first tried to poach. It hurts AEW to ever give Malakai, Buddy, Andrade, Miro anymore tv time. Send them back to Levesque.

People turned on him fast. Knew that was going to happen when the mascot started whispering. Hilarious.

I never saw the biggest misuse in Rusev tbh. He is a good hand, and has some mic skills but i never saw this underused diamond in the rough

I definitely dig Lucha Bros as a tag team, but I 100% feel this about Penta.

And honestly there’s no reason why Fenix couldn’t be a top face for the company as a solo act, either
