      Why CVV why?? Why tf u wanna see a talent like will ospreay getting wasted in wwe?? Okay i know Aew is STACKED & there's not many places left but I don't wanba see his style of wrestling getting cut & getting limited due to wwe's Strict wrestling style policy. No high flying or athletic move only grounded moves, that's bs

    Not everyone is meant to go to the WWE. Will has made a great living and legacy for himself across the world; if he believes that is the best life for him, then that's fantastic.

    Honestly the wrestling world is in a place right now where you can not only create a great legacy but also make a good living without ever going to wwe.
    For this reason alone whether you like the product or not but if you’re a wrestling fan you should genuinely want other companies like AEW or NJPW to succeed because it’s simply better for the wrestlers.
    Will so far has done that, he’s crafted a great career and legacy without being in wwe I’m sure he also makes a decent buck out of it and the most important thing is that he’s happy with what he’s doing.

      I'll admit, I'm not the biggest AEW fan, but I always wanted them to succeed because their hasn't been a company to holding the position that WCW previously had
      You had companies like TNA and ROH who were that, but they didn't hold that spot after a short while, but as shown by their announcement that AEW sold near 40k tickets for All In London is amazing

      I mean, if we pretend the process is the same, it’s like asking a really good tournament basketball player why they don’t join the NBA.
      Whether you like it or not, WWE is global, funded, and good for exposure. But we’re wrestling fans who know better. Success and exposure can really only go as far as the company can, and WWE has brought a lot of exposure for that. But it’s also why they are so strict, which in itself makes people want to stay away. It’s just the biggest company right now, undeniably. But of course, bigger does NOT mean better.

    It's simple: Do you want to do 20 minute promos about how your opponent stole your girlfriend, and wrestle the same match over and over for months while they paste corporate marketing buzzwords on you and give you a fish n' chips character just because you're British? Or do you want to wrestle great matches with amazing talent for a crowd who doesn't hate the wrestling part of wrestling?

      Vince "wouldn't get him", WWE-ism for "Vince won't push hard someone that comes from the outside and was very famous on the outside". That's who that guy is. 90% of the outsiders have a ceiling in WWE. Among all the people that got over outside WWE, only two people are an exception to that, with defferent levels of success: Seth and AJ. I know someone will say "oh but Cody and Drew..." No, they were in WWE first. It's different, they still are "products of the WWE". Vince will never push someone who got himself over outside WWE as a top star, because in his mind means validating other companies as equals. That's how petty he is.
