Imagine telling someone in 2011: it's gonna be Cody Rhodes and Generation Me who will talk to the son of a football millionaire to get such a promotion going. It's quite funny to think how things change
Shoutouts go to WWE aswell for sucking every bit of love for wrestling and performing out of the talent , that they wanna create their own promotion to celebrate the art that they love.
And it's all going to start with the explosion of popularity of NJPW thanks to a 6 star match between a guy who was a Young Lion working a terrible gimmick on excursion in TNA and the guy who just had a match with a 7 year old girl (mere months before this recording)
Now he needs to keep it uncensored and start pushing new people in the indies that come in all sizes tall,short,skinny,fat,super ripped like they look like are roided up but they can cut great promos,wrestle technically or high flyers or powerhouse or hybrids, and the Heels don't get cheap heat they are getting real heat and real hate from fans cut down the 8 - 12 men tag team matches

2:46 - 3:50 really gives you goosebumps at how right he got it , but the scary factor is that those people he is foreshadowing were walking among us the whole time, they themselves just didn't know it yet. 2:46 _ 2:59 _ That guy with the brain that gets this new company .. would be none other than Stardust . Who tf would have thought that? If I visited a 10 year old version of me in 2011 and said, yo the guy that Bryan Alvarez is talking about... who will challenge the WWE and Vince.. its going to be Stardust... I would have laughed my ar** off. 3:10_ That executive fan, thats in his 30s who 20 years from 2011 - will be the finance side. Well , that was TONY KHAN who was 29 years old when this came out. At this time he was working as a General Manager for a Bio firm in Indiana, and his dad just purchased the Jacksonville Jaguars that same year. Just goes to show that there is somebody out there right now in a crossroads in their career, and all it takes is an ounce of inspiration and the right connection to change the entire landscape of a field in which they live in and can change the lives of others.
@@chibiromano5631 Tony Khan is way more than the finance side. Cody isn't the head booker, Tony is. He oversees everything from top to bottom. Definitely way more than just the money guy.
It's not accurate. I don't think there are many believable and larger than life characters in aew. I like aew but most of their segments are WWE level cringe. And no one believes that orange Cassidy or stunt or cutler or nakazawa or other crusierweights can kick any ass.
Skooma you don’t need to be Jim Cornette to see that 🙄 Other than people who are ex WWE stars who are there tough guys? Is there anyone on their roster over 6 foot with a shred of muscle honestly go to your local gym and you’ll see more threatening looking people. AEW is a fine circus, but it’s no legitimate sporting based alternative like they promised and that’s a fact
@@marcclemente9335 Benoit was a tough guy......Lesnar respected him even though Benoit was no where near as muscular....Jericho young held his own against an Adonis of Goldberg prime Tough guys aren't muscular, they're just tough.
This is an amazing video you have put together. When Alvarez said if someone breaks a leg make it part of the story line and it cuts to Dr Baker my draw dropped. Then when he said if someone gets over organically you go with it and it cuts to a picture of Page I gasped. This is perfect.
The BadderMan he’s over as hell. He’s really carried the team when it comes to pins usually. He will be world champ by double or nothing, and have a long reign.
It’s funny this was posted on June 2020 when it was successful But AEW 2021 is an even more accurate demonstration of this They are the hottest they ever been
Yeah All Out 2021 was such a fantastic show that it's being regarded as one of the best PPVs of all time. You can't be given an accolade like that if you're not a red hot promotion. Especially considering PPVs thrive off storylines both out of ring and in ring.
Everybody is so shocked of how accurate this is but honestly what Bryan was describing here is just simply a *good pro wrestling company* working how a good pro wrestling company should work following the rules and principles of pro wrestling. Too many people have been caught in the WWE bubble long enough to not being able to realize how much WWE has deviated from those rules and principles and changed the idea of what wrestling should be *for-the-worse* . AEW has simply being following those rules and principles like many other companies though, Independent companies that is, only AEW does It with tones of money on a big stage. That's all it is. And thank God for it.
One of the most accurate predictions for a wrestling company that has yet to exist 8 years later. After seeing CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, and Adam Cole, it's already true.
Just looking at these still images of the first year of AEW... This brightened my 2020. Imagine the pandemic era with only WWE leading the way. AEW and Impact have been so good.
whats *really* odd was Tony Khan was around 35/36 when he founded AEW and he said "maybe some wrestling fan, about 35 or so years old" was gonna form it
The biggest mistake Vince ever made was trying to bury the Runnels. If he didn't have a hate boner for the Runnels family, he would have never made Cody be Stardust. If Cody never had to be Stardust, he likely wouldn't have left WWE. Once Cody was in the Bullet Club...AEW was inevitable.
@@alexgaspar2525 and if Jericho vs Omega never happened... yea look guys, we could do this all day. There were tons of stars that aligned just right to make this 10 year old prediction come to fruition. 10 years from now, we'll say: AEW didn't defeat Vince, Vince defeated Vince.
This is a good video. Its not good just because this guy dug up a 9 year old audio that came true but because he turned it into a great story just by using pictures and we as fans understand exactly how it relates to the audio because the moments in those pictures are etched in our memories Gets me a little emotional Genuinely great video Glad this got recommended
finally some smart people yea thank god for tony kahn cm punks back and were just getting started!! let the haters have their shitty sports entertainment while we are having fun every wendsday night
What sucks is that Ziggler would've been huge in the late 80's/early 90's.He has the look, and he has (or had) the charisma. I can easily see him going toe to toe against a young HBK & Bret.
He would've been great in any era. Handsome, good talker, great wrestler. Vince didn't see it in him though and now he'll never realize his full potential.
This slowly is growing more accurate actually. Wrestling is great again bringing back tons of lapsed fans with things like Punk’s return. Hunter is starting to slowly shift away in WWE’s position in favor of Nick Khan.
I’ll say it for him. It’s fucking awesome man. I feel like a kid again. I feel like I’m just discovering wrestling again as a 4 year old but I can now appreciate the deeper parts of the inner workings of wrestling, and how well aew does it. The feeling man, it’s unexplainable. That crowd just explains it the best. They are so happy and so into it. It almost feels dream like to have something run this well. We are truly blessed to have this company come and give us this content. Hopefully more billionaires like khan and do this to more media or fucking the world idk. This is amazing
Almost 10 years later, Raw still sucks, Cena and Orton are/were in the title picture some things never change, but AEW is thriving and it's beautiful to see
Imagine telling someone 3 years ago that CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Sting, Jericho, Ambrose (Moxley), Christian, Rusev (Miro),Revival (FTR), Aleister Black (Malakai black) Kenny Omega,Young Bucks, Cody will be in the same wrestling promotion and it's NOT Wwe.
Cornette threw fire in Ron Garvin's face in the 80's which led to a series of Cage matches between the two. Cross and Lee are just repeating old angles and gimmicks. Hogan tried to do against Warrior in WCW but botched it.
(This is gonna be really long, anyone that actually reads this, I appreciate it.) Ngl. I'm a WWE lifer type of guy. Grew up watching it, pretty much saved my life when I was ready to end it. But even I don't watch RAW or Smackdown that much anymore. I keep up with wrestling but don't watch much. WWE has beaten it out of me. A very loyal fan. I know people say 2008-2012 was crap but I still stand by it wasn't that bad. Still had fun watching weekly. Any problem in WWE that was there on the surface then has gotten like 100x worse in 10 years. It fucking sucks because just 5 years ago this company felt like they reinvented/rejuvenated themselves. 2015 wasn't really that bad of a year and neither was 2016. But it was super stale and boring. They needed to pump life into themselves and did so. They made mistakes along the way but RAW and Smackdown and even PPV's were exciting to watch again. I would say up until maybe post Mania 34. WWE felt fun. Then they just fucking crashed and burned. They still had some good/great moments here and there but never capitalized on it. It's so easy. They had the best roster at the best possible time. Everyone was just over already and all they had to do was capitalize. They had the wrestling world in the palm of their hands. And just fucked it up. Now it's almost unbearable to watch. Smackdown has like all the talent and is better booked but still not great. They still can't do things right though overall it's a much better show than RAW. I hate to say it but WWE makes me feel embarrassed for being somewhat still a fan. I am happy AEW exists because it is another big league wrestling company. They use everyone. Everyone makes money and everyone is happy and free to do the things they want to do. And now they have some of the hottest talent in the world and brought back a man who had wrestling murdered out of him. AEW is genuine competition now. They have stars as big or matches WWE. They might not have all the numbers but AEW has the world in their hands and I hope they kick WWE's ass. I don't want WWE to die like anyone else idiotically thinks. I just want then to get better. I wanna turn on my TV and not feel embarrassed for saying I am watching RAW or Smackdown. I want wrestling in general to be a hot commodity amongst everyone. I don't just want one place to hold all the power. Actual competition is good. Even when WWE created their own competition and actually cared, you can see how hot things can get. So now that genuine competition exists I'm hoping a fire is lit under someone's ass. Fucking just let Triple H book the main roster. The man actually knows how to use talent in NXT. It may not be as great as it was before but Triple H capitalizes on opportunities. He actually uses talent in various ways than just the same people and matches month after month.
@@ethanblack6407 I mean tbh. I was fine with it. I honestly do like the new arena and look tbh. Can't wait for it to be in 2K22. But I do hope they keep the old arena in too. It was like a weird mix of Vince and Triple H booking. Nothing bad but was weird. Wedding segments were pretty fun. Also Zombie ref is a call back to something that happened last year I think at Halloween Havoc. It's a wait and see approach tbh. Info says Triple H is still very much in charge but some of his team is not there anymore. We'll see once Triple H is healthy again. Also they should have kept Bron Breakker as Rex Steiner. I feel that is absolutely a Vince decision. He likely wants nothing to do with that name mostly due to Scott.
While it’s amazing to think that Bryan can tell the future...it’s probably more likely that someone in the elite or even Tony himself heard this back in the day which planted the AEW seed. Thanks Bryan!
3:02 : Tony Khan in April 2018 coming up with the concept of AEW or "World's Best Wrestling" (AEW'S original name) who knows someone who is good friends with Kevin Reilly President of TNT.
2:05 Vince McMahon in the other hand, when a talent is injured and can no longer work for him, he makes sure he's not even mentioned on TV until he is cleared, which directly affects the merch sales of such talent and therefore their incomes, Vince McMahon is a tough negotiator when it comes to the benefits he gives to his employees.
Freshly Squeezed would be legitimately more over than half the WWE roster if the live crowds were allowed, and even without them, he’s cut one of the best promos in recent memory, let alone wrestling’s tenured history. It’s not a top 10 (to some) but to say it’s not important based on his characters story progression is just flat out ignorance. #NoPulp
@@TheNerdySportsGuy Yeah no doubt, the crowd not being there has robbed us of so many great moments. Sucks doubly for AEW cause they were entering a pretty hot stretch of business from the Cody cage match to Revolution PPV to their north-east loop with Brodie's hometown, then the 10k sold out seats in Newark with blood and guts.....and all of that got jobbed out to the pandemic lol.
what makes this more crazy than anything is the fact that this was in 2011 when wwe was actually still somewhat decent, compared to now where its just facking hopeless at this point.
Very accurate but every REAL wrestling fans knew this could happen one day. Even myself knew that wrestling can only be fun to watch if there's a new competitor in the business. I'm just happy that I can finally watch a product that makes more sense and realistic than watching a PG product that's predictable and boring.
I've only been a wrestling fan for a little over 2 years and I've fallen in love, because of AEW and the people Involved in it. Before AEW I was already getting tired of wrestling, I don't know how any fans from 10 years ago clung onto wrestling for so long with how bad it has been. Obviously there has been good wrestling outside WWE in the last 10 years but mainstream wrestling has only had 1 name for so long and it's so shit.
I think the only thing he might've been wrong about is that we're not going back to territories. Thanks to internet streaming and fan support becoming much more international, we're seeing a territory like system start to re-emerge. Impact, AEW, MLW, NJPW, AAA, and so many other promotions are starting to enter onto the international stage, and letting their stars mingle with other promotions, so they can all promote each other. There's a bright future for the world of wrestling, and WWE is getting scared they won't be in it
Just what happened with Jon Moxley at All Out, when the day before he won the GCW World Championship (even is confirmed a future match against Nick Gage) and at the event he clashed with japanese legends like Satoshi Kojima and Minoru Suzuki
I grew up watching WWF in the 90s and loved it. As it changed to WWE and started to decline I, like many, lost interest altogether. 4 times over the last 20 years I've made a genuine effort to try again with WWE and I could never make it to the end of one episode of Raw or Smackdown. 2 weeks ago I started watching AEW and immediately connected with the characters, storyline and the quality of the violent dancing in the ring. I'll definitely be buying All Out on Monday (in Australia here) and can't wait to hopefully watch Kenny and the Young Bucks get beaten
and i came back after aew 2nd year anniversary, cm punk first match in aew ppv, adam cole, ruby soho, brian danielson and minoru f*ckin suzuki enters the forbidden door.
Oh it'll get there as long as they keep doing what they're doing; putting on great shows, asking fans if there's shit they can improve on and what they can do to improve on it.
Reagan said let's make America great again, Clinton said we're going to make America great again. Teddy Roosevelt campaign invented the Teddy bear. Trump some how came up with MAGA and trumpy bears.
Are we for sure that this didn't come out recently? Because it damn sure sounds like it, if Alverez didn't mention "Swagger" then you would've thought that this came out last year or something. WWE was ACTUALLY decent to a degree during that time, I would say that that began to all change in 2016. 2016-present was when it started going downhill in WWE, sure there was those "this is awesome" moments and awesome occasions that happened here and there but nowadays WWE just turned into background noise. WWE is not the be all and end all that it once was.
Funny thing is, WWE HAS TRIED TO DO at least a few of these things (injured Miz, utilize Ryder's internet fame), but the "WWE style" combined with the outdatedness/cluelessness of Vince and his army of idiot Yes Men just means they can't do shit with them.
Imagine telling someone in 2011: it's gonna be Cody Rhodes and Generation Me who will talk to the son of a football millionaire to get such a promotion going. It's quite funny to think how things change
"And a WWE Developmental reject that didn't even make it out."
Shoutouts go to WWE aswell for sucking every bit of love for wrestling and performing out of the talent , that they wanna create their own promotion to celebrate the art that they love.
And it's all going to start with the explosion of popularity of NJPW thanks to a 6 star match between a guy who was a Young Lion working a terrible gimmick on excursion in TNA and the guy who just had a match with a 7 year old girl (mere months before this recording)

I would say up until maybe post Mania 34. WWE felt fun. Then they just fucking crashed and burned. They still had some good/great moments here and there but never capitalized on it. It's so easy. They had the best roster at the best possible time. Everyone was just over already and all they had to do was capitalize. They had the wrestling world in the palm of their hands. And just fucked it up.
Now it's almost unbearable to watch. Smackdown has like all the talent and is better booked but still not great. They still can't do things right though overall it's a much better show than RAW. I hate to say it but WWE makes me feel embarrassed for being somewhat still a fan.
I am happy AEW exists because it is another big league wrestling company. They use everyone. Everyone makes money and everyone is happy and free to do the things they want to do. And now they have some of the hottest talent in the world and brought back a man who had wrestling murdered out of him. AEW is genuine competition now. They have stars as big or matches WWE. They might not have all the numbers but AEW has the world in their hands and I hope they kick WWE's ass. I don't want WWE to die like anyone else idiotically thinks. I just want then to get better. I wanna turn on my TV and not feel embarrassed for saying I am watching RAW or Smackdown. I want wrestling in general to be a hot commodity amongst everyone. I don't just want one place to hold all the power. Actual competition is good.
Even when WWE created their own competition and actually cared, you can see how hot things can get. So now that genuine competition exists I'm hoping a fire is lit under someone's ass. Fucking just let Triple H book the main roster. The man actually knows how to use talent in NXT. It may not be as great as it was before but Triple H capitalizes on opportunities. He actually uses talent in various ways than just the same people and matches month after month.
how did you like the new nxt ? XD we have a zombie ref for no reason too now.
@@ethanblack6407 I mean tbh. I was fine with it. I honestly do like the new arena and look tbh. Can't wait for it to be in 2K22. But I do hope they keep the old arena in too. It was like a weird mix of Vince and Triple H booking. Nothing bad but was weird. Wedding segments were pretty fun. Also Zombie ref is a call back to something that happened last year I think at Halloween Havoc.
It's a wait and see approach tbh. Info says Triple H is still very much in charge but some of his team is not there anymore. We'll see once Triple H is healthy again. Also they should have kept Bron Breakker as Rex Steiner. I feel that is absolutely a Vince decision. He likely wants nothing to do with that name mostly due to Scott.
I stopped watching wwe in 2010 then ten years later i get aew iam happy now

While it’s amazing to think that Bryan can tell the future...it’s probably more likely that someone in the elite or even Tony himself heard this back in the day which planted the AEW seed. Thanks Bryan!
3:02 : Tony Khan in April 2018 coming up with the concept of AEW or "World's Best Wrestling" (AEW'S original name) who knows someone who is good friends with Kevin Reilly President of TNT.
It all started when Cody Rhodes become Stardust...
Wow man, this is amazing. It's a very accurate prediction.
2:05 Vince McMahon in the other hand, when a talent is injured and can no longer work for him, he makes sure he's not even mentioned on TV until he is cleared, which directly affects the merch sales of such talent and therefore their incomes, Vince McMahon is a tough negotiator when it comes to the benefits he gives to his employees.
Just another week of Orange Cassidy mopping the floor with Pat McAfee, Adam Cole and NXT 😂
Freshly Squeezed would be legitimately more over than half the WWE roster if the live crowds were allowed, and even without them, he’s cut one of the best promos in recent memory, let alone wrestling’s tenured history. It’s not a top 10 (to some) but to say it’s not important based on his characters story progression is just flat out ignorance. #NoPulp
@@TheNerdySportsGuy Yeah no doubt, the crowd not being there has robbed us of so many great moments. Sucks doubly for AEW cause they were entering a pretty hot stretch of business from the Cody cage match to Revolution PPV to their north-east loop with Brodie's hometown, then the 10k sold out seats in Newark with blood and guts.....and all of that got jobbed out to the pandemic lol.
Pat McAfee vs Adam Cole will be great.
That Dude !!
Their match at Takeover was actually pretty damn good
what makes this more crazy than anything is the fact that this was in 2011 when wwe was actually still somewhat decent, compared to now where its just facking hopeless at this point.
WWE pretty much fell off a cliff in terms of quality by 2008-09. By the fall of 2011 it was pretty rough.
lol this video with the pics proves his predictions even more. This is hilarious and great
Goddamn, this is so accurate. Hopefully AEW ushers in a new revolution of pro-wrestling.
The Nicholas picture got me good
I can't help but imagine the voice is David Cross's
Just after a show that make me watch CM Punk first match since 2014, and the debut of Bryan Danielson & Adam Cole in this "future company"
A wrestling fan who’s in their 30s today…. Actually I think TK was in his 20s at the time
yup 28
@@novametallica Other than that this is spot on
He has a real passion for wrestling.
Very accurate but every REAL wrestling fans knew this could happen one day. Even myself knew that wrestling can only be fun to watch if there's a new competitor in the business. I'm just happy that I can finally watch a product that makes more sense and realistic than watching a PG product that's predictable and boring.
Wants wacky characters
2020 Bryan “I don’t get Dexter Lumis”
Although I like Lumis, he’s still a little ways off.
ManWithoutFries it’s not just Lumis. He can’t get into The Fiend or Broken Matt Hardy but years ago wants “wacky charachters”
He said he wants them he never said he had to like them
Andrew Parks Fair. But his attitude towards wacky characters seems not consistent.
Watching this in 2021
Proof that he is part owner of AEW. This has been in the works since 2011
Yeah bc a billionaire needs investment from a wrestling journalist to start up a company. Some nice logic there bud.
@@majorcarver3504 It's a joke my guy
I've only been a wrestling fan for a little over 2 years and I've fallen in love, because of AEW and the people Involved in it. Before AEW I was already getting tired of wrestling, I don't know how any fans from 10 years ago clung onto wrestling for so long with how bad it has been. Obviously there has been good wrestling outside WWE in the last 10 years but mainstream wrestling has only had 1 name for so long and it's so shit.
this is awesome! thank you
AEW is Awesome
Somebody should show him this...this really was the nail on the head
Alvarez confirmed for time traveller
Great edit. Bravo mate.
Bryan Alvarez channeling his inner Nostradamus here
this aged well!
I want Bryan to react to this one day
10 years later........
I think the only thing he might've been wrong about is that we're not going back to territories. Thanks to internet streaming and fan support becoming much more international, we're seeing a territory like system start to re-emerge. Impact, AEW, MLW, NJPW, AAA, and so many other promotions are starting to enter onto the international stage, and letting their stars mingle with other promotions, so they can all promote each other. There's a bright future for the world of wrestling, and WWE is getting scared they won't be in it
Just what happened with Jon Moxley at All Out, when the day before he won the GCW World Championship (even is confirmed a future match against Nick Gage) and at the event he clashed with japanese legends like Satoshi Kojima and Minoru Suzuki
I grew up watching WWF in the 90s and loved it. As it changed to WWE and started to decline I, like many, lost interest altogether. 4 times over the last 20 years I've made a genuine effort to try again with WWE and I could never make it to the end of one episode of Raw or Smackdown.
2 weeks ago I started watching AEW and immediately connected with the characters, storyline and the quality of the violent dancing in the ring. I'll definitely be buying All Out on Monday (in Australia here) and can't wait to hopefully watch Kenny and the Young Bucks get beaten
8 years since you said it dude... Hope you are anjoying it
and i came back after aew 2nd year anniversary, cm punk first match in aew ppv, adam cole, ruby soho, brian danielson and minoru f*ckin suzuki enters the forbidden door.
The amazing thing is all the comments about WWE are from 2011 and WWE has only gotten worse.
Wooow. Great post!!
I wish Bryan Alvarez would bring back the After Dark radio show.
I resent your implication that Butcher is fat. He is powerful.
he's not fat. but he's in a band IRL and their whole gimmick is metal so it still fits lol
Idk if it was planned but I laughed you showed that face of Seth when Bryan said “fake fights”
It’s not a lost art.
AEW isn't there yet, but if it does, and I think it will, then he will have been 12 years too conservative.
Oh it'll get there as long as they keep doing what they're doing; putting on great shows, asking fans if there's shit they can improve on and what they can do to improve on it.
It's gotten there by now & is on fire
Well, I didn't die
RAW sucks and it’s not going to turn around. Ten years later
He was wrong. Raw did turn around in the past ten years.
It went from bad to 2000 WCW.
@@luckyjosh7 I would rather watch WCW 2000 than current Raw
Bro raw still shit right now 😂😭
6:43 DAMN! Swagger is now in AEW & Ziggler is still in WWE
This is so eerie and I love it
Not only did he say “Wrestling will be great again” predicting Trump’s campaign tag line, he was about 90% right with this.
That was Reagan's tagline before it was Trump's. That didn't predict anything.
Reagan said let's make America great again, Clinton said we're going to make America great again. Teddy Roosevelt campaign invented the Teddy bear. Trump some how came up with MAGA and trumpy bears.
By the way, 6:15... *chef's kiss*
Are we for sure that this didn't come out recently? Because it damn sure sounds like it, if Alverez didn't mention "Swagger" then you would've thought that this came out last year or something. WWE was ACTUALLY decent to a degree during that time, I would say that that began to all change in 2016. 2016-present was when it started going downhill in WWE, sure there was those "this is awesome" moments and awesome occasions that happened here and there but nowadays WWE just turned into background noise.
WWE is not the be all and end all that it once was.
Funny thing is, WWE HAS TRIED TO DO at least a few of these things (injured Miz, utilize Ryder's internet fame), but the "WWE style" combined with the outdatedness/cluelessness of Vince and his army of idiot Yes Men just means they can't do shit with them.
1:07 Let´s go Kevin Steen 😂
Brystradamus Alvarez
That Britt Baker and Broken Leg thing was spot on thoooo
This guy came from the future
This is interesting
