The Building of: WWE vs. All Elite Wrestling Volume 53 by AverageMansReview
Just a heads up: I will be discussing things freely but as always softening my
language.
WWE & All Elite Wrestling: I haven't done this for a long time, because it is a mixture between
I have different departments to put wrestling content in and time. But I have
been feeling this way for some time now and don't worry I will continue
producing wrestling content, that isn't in question here. But as I have said or
indicated in other content I have like more or less switched off about this
upcoming WrestleMania, if you think it is because we are not getting Rock vs.
Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship it has something but
little to do with it; it is so much more to do with how toxic this whole
situation got and still remains to be in its entirety, I mean I have heard that
there is friction between the locker room and Rock as it relates to he can do
or say what he likes when he likes, whilst the rest of the locker room minus a
few other names as well, so I am of the mindset that even you allow all your
rosters the same kind of freedom and basic guidelines, like if they could stay
away from the big adult words that would be useful or if not your big names
should be setting an example for the rest of the locker rooms to follow. But as
it relates to Rock I am also seen proof today of him continuing the be down of
Rhodes on 25/03/2024 Raw after being informed they had gone off air, now on one
hand obviously they could use this extra content next week or some other time
or at minimum made reference to it, which is reasonable. But if they don't, it
isn't the greatest look for Rock as for a little while now I have also heard
from the film industry that Rock has cultivated a reputation of pushing his
weight around and the more I see or hear of Rock doing this kind of things, the
WWE are going to have a much bigger Rock problem, but then again I have also
seen on a social media platform people praising him for being a pro wrestler,
which if they don't use this extra content this action is not being a pro
wrestler; it turns more into somebody stroking their ego; but for now we will
have to wait and see. You're aware that either option they choose to go with
Reigns or Rhodes as champion the WWE are going to have problems; because they
have ran the Reigns/Bloodline to into the ground and as someone pointed out
online and I am delighted that there are more people out there thinking like me
where would you do with Rhodes after this? Because his whole story has been
finish the story, what do you do after that? I mean I have completely checked
out of this main event is situation because frankly it is a load of bull shish kebab,
that is the price of building up scenarios without a payoff like McIntyre for
one example eventually when or if you choose to have a momentous championship
drop/switch no one is going to give me fudge
I mean just
having a quick look on the men's side of Mania regardless of either night I
eventually have very little interest in; no really, the ladder match for the
Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships and the triple threat for the WWE
Universal Championship and Zayn vs.
Walter for his WWE Intercontinental Championship; will be good but we all know
this spot should have been Gable's; if Zayn wins here I will be absolutely
fuming, hopefully Gable costs him the win and Knight vs. Styles should be good
as well; but it could very easily just being main event of SmackDown and I have
no interest in seeing Jey vs. Jimmy and I have indicated as much for some time
now Little to No Interest in seeing this at potentially WWE WrestleMania
40/2024? - Spoilers Alarm! Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2023/09/little-to-no-interest-in-seeing-this-at.html
So the
female side of things is much stronger, but for one little detail or actually
two details; so the WWE don't yet trust Jade Cargill which is on his based on
she has been positioned around 5 women that knows what the WWE is expected of
them, so it covers up any of Cargill's weaknesses. I mean Cargill looked so
much better in AEW, because they protected her not only in a wrestling sense
but also a promo sense, because yes she did speak in AEW, but because of her
presentation it was easier to cover up her weaknesses on the mic, which is
honestly true I didn't notice until last Friday's SmackDown 29/03/2024 her main
roster debut which yes looked good, but a complete waste of time and if you
want to make her look like a big deal I would have waited until after Mania,
because regardless of shows everyone knows a week after this massive event the
crowds are notoriously mental so this is a wasted opportunity and obviously the
second detail is so these WWE Women's Tag Team Championships aren't worth shish
kebab as they owned being defended by The Kabuki Warriors: Asuka & Kairi
Sane.
Now we move
on to AEW; we need is serious conversation Tony Khan, I like your promotion,
but stop getting into back and forths with people, in particular Eric Bischoff,
I mean I know of it this time around I haven't looked into it, but if it is
like your previous conversations just don't bother, I mean I have run ins with
people on social media and that will discuss them later, but for here and now I
say my bit and eventually but let's go. Moving on to Jack Perry; I don't like the
guy either, because on the biggest night of AEW's history at AEW: All In 2023
he went into business for himself, just for the record if he did it at any
other pay-per-view I would have been annoyed gave him a suspension and moving
on, but as this was the biggest event in AEW history it was hardly the right
time to have a public outburst on a massive stage. But whatever is happening
between you two right now, I will tell you from an outsider's perspective, it
is hardly a good look for you TK. Because I know of one other wrestling
promoter that used to do this kind of shish kebab of having a wrestler's
contract and either not intending to use them or not allowing them to go and be
released, I should point out yes I am aware of allegedly [grey area] apparently
there were conversations to bring Perry back before WWE Survivor Series 2023
where Punk made his return and it kicked it all off again. Because TK blames
Perry for losing Punk and the more content I hear about this situation, the
more it sounds like TK would have let Punk get away with mostly anything which
is really fudgin' embarrassing and sad, let me remind you TK everyone including
myself repeatedly warned you about the dangers of hiring Punk and you just
didn't listen, yes Punk may be a big draw, but he is not worth the backstage
aggravation and let me remind you he spent more time on the injury list them
being a actual champion; so in a nutshell working it out with Perry or release
him; this garbage is not a good look for your promotion; your promotion that
said they were going to be different; but you are actively dealing with Perry
in the same way that Mr. McMahon if anyone crossed him; it is just a shame you
wouldn't show those kind of grapefruits to Punk.
The problem
is I am seeing déjà vu with TK and Mercedes Moné where he has said she can be
the face of AEW and I am sitting there going hold on; wait just one fudgin'
second she has literally been in the door for one second and you already
putting her on a pedestal, above those that have worked their posterior off day
in and day out, especially on the women's side of things where they don't get
were have never gotten any real screen time. That is massively disrespectful
and incredibly rude, considering Moné even before her first on TV appearance indicated
she will probably end her career in WWE [once again yes I am aware since this
has come out; she meant it in no disrespect.] But having said this; how was she
expecting us to take it? I mean really; you sign this contract worth millions
and let me get this right so far you have indicated the following; one day you
want to be back in the WWE, some promos/sit down interview and TV appearances
on you want to be in AEW to make it a global brand and minus a scuffle, but not
in a booked wrestling match yet, I know I have said this before but whatever TK
is paying her it just isn't worth it, she can't even give a good promo, yes I
know she is young but however unlike Cargill [debut in 2021] Moné's debut was
in 2010 so by my rough calculations that is 14 years and she still can't
deliver a remotely good promo, okay she can deliver one that gets the job done,
but that is about it and let's face it she just isn't a big draw.
Finally
let's talk about the fan base of these two promotions: I am getting fed up with
the toxic nature of wrestling fans, now don't misunderstand me, I can handle
it, but at the same time why should I have to receive abuse, about for an
example the last time someone called me fat, when it has nothing to do with
wrestling itself and you call yourself wrestling fans, while that is bull shish
kebab, I stand by everything I have said about the current main event as it
relates to the WWE and the current Moné developments. Get this through your
thick heads the more wrestling promotions we have, the more better the
wrestling industry becomes. Like me or hate me I don't give a fudge, but if you
have lived through the monopolisation of the WWE when WCW sold/closed to the
WWF/E in 2001, the subsequent years were the dark days of wrestling, as I have
said many times. So revelling in AEW struggling currently is just stupidity, I
mean I feel bad for TNA at the moment, because through all their hard work just
to come back to then go through basically another upheaval in a nutshell is
just really bad timing and whilst I'm on the subject for those that say I am a
diehard AEW fan but spent all day everyday revelling in their struggle, can I
just say you need to go and get a life as at the end of the day we are talking
about people's livelihoods, I know TK isn't everybody's cup of tea, but I do
think he is trying to make the industry better, even though sometimes he leaves
himself open for criticism. But I don't know about everyone else, but all I
want is a vibrant wrestling industry
