The Building of: WWE vs. All Elite Wrestling Volume 47 by AverageMansReview

Full disclosure: these people have stepped down from the Board of Directors of the WWE are Jo Ellen Lyons Dillon, Jeffrey R. Speed & Alan M. Wexler I will discuss who will be replacing them as far as I know of this content. Spoiler warning at some point I will be giving a result away.

WWE: Wow I mean this in the most nicest way; you have to feel sorry for any main focus wrestling content creators, because this Mr. McMahon saga isn't going away any time soon. Mr. McMahon is back within the WWE on the Board of Directors, but he isn't coming alone, you see whilst he has been away he has been plotting is comeback with Executives George Barrios & Michelle Wilson, which if these two names look familiar to you, it is because Mr. McMahon either release them or fired them either way it has the same outcome roughly in May 2020 for basically disagreeing with him how to sell the WWE product in some capacity.

The wrestling community are on one hand going to hate what I have to say next because I don't like it myself, but on the other hand there are going to be some out there that knows unfortunately he is correct.

In simple English the Board of Directors yes tried to prevent Mr. McMahon from coming back to the WWE, but however he is in a capacity where he has the control to come back if he pushed hard enough, which is essentially what he did by am paraphrasing here "If there is any form of TV renewal or product sale, I will decline it." Which as WWE Raw is coming up for renewal in 2024 and likewise WWE SmackDown is coming up for renewal at the end of 2023 it puts the WWE on the back foot and I can't take credit for what I am going to say next, because someone else said it before me, but it is very true; he is holding his company for ransom. The old school generation of wrestling fans/content creators will agree but we also know this is incredibly harsh but sadly true Mr. McMahon is never and I repeat never going to willingly completely willingly give up his throne/power until the day he dies and we are now seeing that coming true, but he is also a hypocrite based on the grounds he is always said "No one is bigger than the WWF/WWE" and from a that applies to him, I am very much aware that he doesn't put himself in that same bracket, but I am still very comfortable calling him a hypocrite and not forgetting the sponsorships and the TV networks will not want to have him either associated with their advertising or network based on his black cloud. So in my opinion where the WWE would have been in a stronger position without the black cloud there has been this vast improvement on things, they never have this wild card that wants to sell, I call Mr. McMahon the wild card, because no one knows if he is going to be difficult or accommodating

This seems like a good point to point out that the Board of Directors were originally unanimous in declining Mr. McMahon's willingness to come back based on his recent and ongoing legal disputes [I have phrased it this way so I have covered my back and in no way shape or form to protect Mr. McMahon] but as you can see how can I put this nicely; he went "Screw you are coming back!" So consequently some people have resigned, consequently it now leaves some seats opened to put the people that Mr. McMahon wants on the board, for the UK based fans this is very much beginning to look like how our government is actually run, we have somebody in power that, shouldn't be there wasn't elected or re-elected and to ensure they get what they want, they strategically bring people in or around to vote their way.

Apparently I'm going to say apparently, because I don't trust Mr. McMahon he says again I am paraphrasing here has been positive about the creative aspect and is only coming back to negotiate the sale of the WWE. Which I don't believe, because a man like Mr. McMahon craves power and is a control freak, so I can see him accidentally [looking accidentally but obviously purposely getting involved in creative.]

Which not surprisingly there have been many sources of wrestlers within the WWE that says if he is coming back to the head of creative they want out of the WWE.

Now experienced wrestling fans and content creators would hope that at no stage does he make a return to TV and on top of that I hope he doesn't get a heroes welcome or at minimum a massive pop. Because there was no way in hell he should, if you want to change the perspective of how the wrestling industry is being seen outside of our little bubble? Don't clap, don't cheer, basically just make no sound that we will not tolerate at minimum, because from a legal standpoint once again I have to protect myself we will not tolerate this/his behaviour. Because if and when he makes an appearance and if I hear just one person, I will be making these points time after time; 1. So let me get this right some of you at some point where using this has tag #SpeakingOut [this was a movement in 2020 against at minimum inappropriate behaviour towards women in wrestling] and he may as well be the poster-man for this has tag movement. 2. Hulk Hogan is cancelled for dropping the N-word in recording in 2016; which I am not defending in the slightest, but my point is valid if Hogan is pretty much cancelled for that, yet for some strange reason there are some people out there that will cheer for Mr McMahon I find this very insulting and it discredits the wrestling industry and its fan base as a whole or as it relates to making a sound I have just had an idea I know I can't do this, but if you want a whistle every time he is on-screen or anything like this just to show you're not happy then I will back off.

As I have been dictating this; I have already started to see rejoicing online at the fact that Mr McMahon is back within the WWE which I have to choose my words incredibly carefully because I am fuming at this, because this is precisely what I was talking about as it relates to Hulk Hogan and Mr McMahon when there is no difference between these two, but for some strange reason there are some people out there that don't see them as the same okay on different levels of bad, but still bad and I really want to finish off this section in this manner in particular to those people that are rejoicing at the fact that this man is back; please take two seconds to think about the people that have to work in contact with Mr. McMahon or if or when or whatever happens to the creative side of things if you should somehow find his way back into that position take two seconds to think about the entire WWE as a whole and I am talking about the actual lives here yes the product is important, but since Mr McMahon has left it has been a 90% improvement on the WWE as a whole [even the fair and balanced the WWE fan base would go 90% is fair considering not everything has brilliantly with all of the talent coming back, but it is a phenomenal improvement nonetheless.]

All Elite Wrestling: on this side of the fence I have to say since a certain CM Punk has not been around things have settled down a bit, I am not saying it is perfect, but there is a noticeable change. Before I receive complaints I know it isn't perfect like I have just said, I was just talking about the comparison between then and now and they seem to be having backstage politics issues with other wrestling promotions which I honestly had a speech lineup about this; it was going to go something like come on Tony Kahn you may have to play better with others especially when the WWE under Triple-H are trying to do the now as AAA; Tay Melo and Sammy Guevara were stripped of the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championships because of in a nutshell what seems to be frustration with AEW over booking and yes on a quick side note I am aware of what happened with the AAA Men's versions of these championships where basically an WWE signed talent pins and AEW talent [at the pay-per-view AAA Noche de Campeones/English interpretation Night of Champions 2022 when Los Hermanos Lee's; WWE's Dragon Lee & Dralístico defeats AEW's Las Super Ranas./FDR's Dax Harwood & Cash  Wheeler, then for these new champions to vacate and Lee to announce he was heading to the WWE, which I have to say game respects game. Meaning there was a reason why Mr. McMahon had to learn very quickly back in the 1990s to put a stipulation in his contracts [it is better known as  "Non-Compete Clause"; it prevents talent from wrestling on NXT I believe it is 30 days and for the main roster it is 90 days where they can't wrestle for another company.] You see back in the 1990's a wrestler could go from one promotion to the next and show up within a matter of days on another promotion/TV product which AEW doesn't use this legal stipulation, which is also fair because they want to be seen as the company that do this kind of thing, but it just reminds me of the olden days gone past.

But what I find interesting about this whole mixed tag team situation is Sammy Guevara comes out and says I am paraphrasing here the whole booking situation is incorrect, I know he has a history of being a handful of an individual backstage, but at least he is honest you know; he is slowly getting the reputation of being a bad boy but honest about it or if there is something honest he will tell you and just to make sure I squash the thoughts of me being biased towards AEW I am not really a of this husband-and-wife; like a AEW fan will tell you; the backstage things surrounding this couple or just him or their whole gimmick is well exposed so yes individually or together they can wrestle, but it looks like you have to take the rough with the smooth with them.

To finish off this large instalment; everything is on a knife edge, because the new hierarchy of the WWE were just getting going and let's be honest and AEW and 2022 wasn't the best for the company from a publicity standpoint so 2023 is going to be one tough ride I am not in this world, because we are only a week into 2023 so all I can say is; "Strap in it may be a bumpy ride to 2024." [I was thinking I should just point this out: I began this on Friday and finished it is Saturday morning so by now things have probably change.]
