Actually this was genius. It’s one of the solutions to not waste the star-packed roster and for other superstars to shine and be able to earn for themselves. If I can project, this can promote multiple crossover with other promotions and would allow wrestlers to be flexible and wrestle on other promotion while still being able to be part of their main company + the amount of storylines to be produced with creative stipulations and matches coming from both ends. ❤ It’s like the globalization of wrestling companies.
Maybe someday we might return to something resembling the old territory ecosystem, where different promotions made up the whole of the business and had good working relationships with each other, instead of one megapromotion being synonymous with the business itself.
You do know that it was WWE itself that has essentially monopolized pro wrestling after the territory days. And they have extended their stranglehold on the industry after ECW and WCW folded. WWE wants to build up connections with smaller companies like TNA and Noah in Japan so they can get a greater pool of talent and offer better contracts to these talents.
@@tonchigaming7238man gtfoh bruv the e is like a lil stingy selfish child if you can see that you are and have not followed wrestling,TNA has maybe 20k viewers period can't sell out arenas, they work with all the opposition companies of all the companies AEW works with🤷🏽😐💯.

Alot of people are thanking HHH for this but honestly it wasn't just him. Scott De'More was working on this before they gave him the boot he wanted to build TNA back to what it was and a partnership with WWE was the start . Think about how many TNA legends are agents for WWE now (Petey, Roode, Abyss,) those guys were the bridge.
Scott's firing was still the stupidest thing ever imo. If what your saying is true, this WWE deal is probably one of the biggest things making TNA money right now and it was his idea. And THEN they fire him? Anthem is a joke
A commonly known partnership that a majority of wrestling fans either don’t know about or outright ignore just to talk trash on Vince McMahon saying he doesn’t partner with other companies
A TNA/NXT crossover helps both brands especially TNA get more viewers. Reminds me of when WWF and ECW did a crossover when WCW was on top at one point.
Meanwhile it allows those in NXT to get a chance to feel and work with crowds outside of the WWE/NXT bubble. So it helps them grow their skills in that regard.

Idk why ppl act like this is a one sided deal. This is the most relevant TNA has been since short hair AJ Styles. Joe Hendry went from a house hold name in wrestling to a house hold name everywhere. Because of NXT. If you can’t understand that WWE is helping show TNAs stars you should slow down on the weed
Acting like Vince McMahon didn't work other promotions is just retarded. Just because he didn't acknowledge or work with your one little favorite barnyard promotion doesn't negate the fact that he routinely worked with others. Smokey Mtn. NJPW. USWA. ECW. Just to name a very few.
Yeah Yall weirdos hate Vince and are pretending like majority of woman have no morals and do anything to get ahead in life I'm pretty sure anyone he was doing stuff with was 100% with it because that's how the world is and always was Just in today's time we act like females aren't liars even though we all experienced females being Thots
A partnership makes sense, TNA gets more exposure. When needed WWE gets access to video footage of superstars with a history in TNA. It gives NXT young stars an opportunities to get experience.
Summarized: TNA is their 2nd developmental where they send people who still need work in the ring, hence the word he kept repeating, "reps." In turn, the WWE name in affiliation with TNA helps TNA.
Every Paul Leveque interview I see gives me more faith in the company every time. He really shows he knows what he's doing on a level that surprises me every time.
It’s good for WWE for Tatum Paxley to wrestle a credible opponent on a PPV. It’s good for TNA to have Jordynne Grace seen by lots of people who might tune in to watch her. But.. it would also be nice to see Trick Williams or AJ Styles on TNA and I hope that comes eventually.
I do think that the WWE now understands how having a healthy competition lifts all boats. I think they, as a company, went as far down the road of "destroy your competition and swallow them up" as they could...and it wasnt successful financially or creatively.
Without competition, they ain’t trying. Must be lonely at the top with nothing to strive for. At least with competition, there’s a reason to push limits. Especially when wwe lead is generations ahead of the competition
I think it's more that HHH recognizes that they benefit from a deeper talent pool. A new indy wrestler made a comment to a friend of mine at a show that they might do about two dozen shows and then go to WWE. This was during the era when there really wasn't a feeder system. Thing is, they were right and got signed to FCW and appeared on early black & gold. (No, I don't remember exactly who said it. Just that the friend told me about it when they made their TV debut. This was just before the indy awakening that produced most of the current rosters.)
I love that theme, it’s way better than his wwe theme song but sadly he said he’s sick of it & doesn’t want to hear it again on Chris Van Vliet because he’s heard it his whole career
The only thing Tony is getting his fingers ready to do is chop his marching powder , he put a lock on the WWE forbidden door when he said the Weinstein bs . I think that was the fire that lit WWE back up and said naw f this call center looking mofo we're bout to cook
@@holdthetruthhostage Your username is so fitting because you’re holding the truth hostage while spewing lies💀 Forbidden Door was not the first time wrestling companies worked together. There’s many occasions that happened years before AEW was even an idea 😂
@@Jfkeav23 kind of a stoopid comment. How you quoting sht that happened decades ago. Modern times khan was the one who did it when vince and others were conservative hillbillies
@@Jfkeav23 It is the first time a major American Wrestling Promotion had a working relationship that big with other wrestling promotions. WWE, WCW or ECW did not do that before on a consistent basis.
Endeavor owns WWE, TNA has a streaming deal with Endeavor that predates WWE acquisition. Endeavor is using WWE to boost TNA streaming, I’m sure the reasons HHH is giving are valid too.
I'm sure that's a side benefit, but the main benefit is probably that this is a more cost-effective way for their younger talent to get more experience, with them cutting back on house shows.
Cody Rhodes parodied Triple H in AEW just a couple years ago, and they are on great terms now. I think it shows that Triple H doesn't let things get to him on a personal level, it's just business, and he understands that. Hell, CM Punk coming back to WWE pretty much cements that as fact that Triple H will do business and lay the personal issues aside. This is the best time in 20 years to be a wrestling fan.
Pretty much what Triple H is saying is “ Pro Wrestling is a dying art form. In which WWF/WWE has a lot to do with. The future of our business only will stand if we help other companies be able to pay people livable wages to feed their families. That way future generations from now we will have a huge incentive in the future to keep WWE and the sport growing. The sport has been stagnant due to other sports paying more, and losing people to Hollywood. We need to be able to have Pro Wrestlers willing to put their bodies on the line for a prize and not just make this sport a hobby; or a thing of the past.”
That’s not what he said lmao. Idk how you can think pro wrestling is dying when there are more relevant promotions than in decades, more top stars, and better athletes than ever before.
@@JustinWPruettPro wrestling IS dying. You all spent 20 years hounding the only person in it who ever had a lack of ego (Vince) and now that he's gone you demand this new era do things the way you've been clamouring for. He was strong enough to stand up to you. Triple H/The Rock/TKO have shown already they aren't. You're all in ecstacy because now wwe is keeping you in the loop about what they do, like a government that owes you information about its directives present and future. This, ahem, is a television show. It's a television show that you're built up in to some super political thing now the people fronting it are scared about not doing things your way so this television show is going to revolve forever more around keeping people happy like voters. Long term, you're not gonna get the thing from Vince that you didn't know he was so good at giving you. Because he presented a television show. He used to give you what you didn't think you wanted. You're not gonna get that now. You're gonna see everything coming. Wrestling fans will be happy getting kept in the loop. But the rest of the potential worldwide audience he always tried to draw in, which you gave him sh*t for? Yeah, they ain't coming here, the outside world doesn't care about wrestling and the only person in the wrestling biz has been demonised for trying to bring in "casual fans".
@@TheRealAhoy In what world does Vince not have an ego? For 20 years he thought he was the God of Wrestling. For a lot of that time, he gave what he thought fans wanted & shat on what the fans did want. In the post WCW era, 80% of the stuff that wrestlers did to get themselves over with fans was kiboshed because Vince didn't come up with it. Cesaro's swing. Barret giving 'Bad News'. Russev Day. There are countless other examples. What did we get instead? Lesnar having less than 100 matches in 10 years, nearly all of them garbage. Even if he brought in outsiders for the PPV, who stuck around to watch the rest of WWE? Nobody. By the way: has anyone cared that Lesnar hasn't been seen for a year now? Didn't think so. Then there was Roman Reigns being rammed down everyone's throat as the face of the company for 5 years before he took time off for because of leukemia & people finally started to like him. And who can forget rematch after rematch after rematch because either a) the entire show was ripped up at 4pm or b) the old man forgot that this match has already happened on TV 3 times in the last 5 weeks. Sometimes both. Real genius. As for WWE telling us everything that happens. 98% of people aren't paying attention to that. And most of the remainder only have a small sense of the behind the scenes stuff. Some even intentionally avoid areas of the IWC because they want to watch the show & enjoy it for what it is. And the quality of the shows are far better now than they were a year ago. And a year ago? They were far better then than they were a year before that.
@@dgthe3 The real world. Y'know, the one we all live in? Where he ran a company that is basically built around fame chasers, who all want to be number 1, just because they believe they should. He had to manage their egos, because they all get in to the medium of wrestling so they can chase the spotlight. You act like he was some horrible manager who was all about picking favourites and "holding others down". The people he picked where those he thought were best able to convey the kind of presence of top featured performers that he would highlight on live shows and television shows. You all think it's nepotism though, and he was ruling like he was one of the Targaryans from game of thrones. This. Is. A. Television. Show. The. People. In. It. Want. To. Be. On. Tv That's why he hires them. "He held Cesaro down" - what had Cesaro done since leaving? Had a few good matches. That's all he does! People who tune in to wrestling aren't looking for a good wrestling show, they're just looking for a good TV show period. If Cesaro was the amazing wrestler he was AND a magnetic presence when he isn't in the ring, man, he'd be gold. This is why Vince pushed Daniel Bryan. It's cute that you all think he was holding him down. HE fed you that story beat, straight away on NXT when DB debuted, he pushed the narrative that "he didn't fit in" but in doing so he gave him considerably more air time than anybody else, because DB wasn't just amazing in the ring, he was also great at promos too. That's why DB had Vince behind him right away, because he had it all. He certainly didn't judge him on size, even though you all think he only cares about a certain type. Vince loved Bryan, he gave him the money in the bank briefcase a year after he debuted and the world title 6 months later. That's a damn near super push. But you were all too busy moaning and complaining and writing your own versions of the riot act about him, so you didn't appreciate any of it, so they played you like a fiddle and rode that entire arc until he won at WrestleMania. They "let you" believe you made a difference, because you're so gullible that you hear through the grapevine that Vince didn't read internet stuff that you ignored all the people he hired to do it and compile reports about what people on the Internet were saying. And you know another thing. That invasion angle "he botched"... He didn't even want to do that. He went out of his way to do it for the fans, but it wasn't in his heart, not his idea. He didn't plan on buying wcw at all - he never thought about a brand rivalry. No interest, but he bought wcw because his wife convinced him the tape library was worth the purchase. He could have just left it there. What on earth did WWF have to prove to wcw? Lol. They absolutely wiped the floor with them. Putting wcw on par with his company, never mind anywhere near it, would damage his brand. He tried it anyway because fans wanted it, but he never had any interest in it. Reigns, by the way, was brilliant booking by him. He saw a guy who looked and carried himself like a star and had faith in him despite you all trying your best to sabotage him, because you all have hard-ons for being on the creative team. That mega push provided such backbone that the tribal Chief gimmick was an instant hit that remains a hit to this day. Just admit it, your whole problem here is that Vince created wwe in to a thing that you liked so much that you fantasied about running it yourself, but you live in your reality while he continued living in his and the bitterness just consumed you and still consumes you because he was a person who had a toy you didn't have. That guy did an amazing job of managing egos for all those years, but struggled more when the Internet came in to play, because you and your cohorts decided to turn fandom of this past time in to a wannabe revolution based on taking down an empire, and he was "the emperor" the way you saw it. And you've made the resulting generations of talent weak, Dolph Ziggler stagnated because he thought he was the next Shawn Michaels because you declared he was and he listened. Soooooo many talents began listening to you make-believe talent scouts who said they should be in the main event instead of the guy who would tell them how to be a main eventer. Cena is a main eventer because he did weird stuff like sit in all the seats of the arena before a show just so he could gauge how the person sitting in that particular seat would feel the ring from where they're sitting. Outside of the box stuff right there. Vince loved him, because he was thinking of how he could connect to the audience. Not like 99% of talent that says "I really really am trying". Cena actually proved he was trying! What you don't see during Cena promos, is him looking directly into the crowd and making select people in it actually feel like he was talking to them. That goes such a long way. Every few seconds somebodyin a seat will see Cena looking right at them and talking to them or winking. While people "try to get fans involved", he actually does. People bury Vince over choosing Jericho to beat AJ Styles at Mania 32? Why? Because he was the new guy? AJ was immediately pushed in to the title picture the next night and he impressed so much that he was pushed as a main event player from that point on. Jericho winning was far more important. For the few years before that he had welcome short runs, but he was little more than a guest star. He needed to be properly reheated. You're all so formulaic though about "who goes over" that you can't see why him going over was the right call. You automatically think the new guy/young guy should win. Pushing wrestlers isn't just about making stars, it's about maintaining/reheating established stars. Jericho won that match, and went on to have the best year of his career since 2010. You all loved his work in 2016. Praised it. If he didn't get a big match win at WrestleMania over a guy who was heading to the main event, he wouldn't have been reheated as a guy who could still hang and his partnership with KO wouldn't have been as solid as it was. It reestablished Jericho as a serious ring presence, a far cry from the guest star type who would show up every now and then to do something moderately appealing and then disappear without much drama. People like you expect people like me to write a thesis and it still isn't good enough for you, because you're a couch potato who for some reason thinks you're extremely active. It's why all of your points are so bitter about him, because he actually did the leg work in life and your dream was his reality. Which is what this is all really about. You're also deeply insecure about wrestling not being popular and you blame him for it as if it's not already a niche product that HE had made popular a few times through his promotion. You think wcw got popular because of the nwo? Nonsense, it got popular because Hulk Hogan turned to the dark side, the nwo just carried on that momentum. Wcw got popular because they did something abstract with the biggest wwe star of all time, it got buzz. Aka, his booking of Hogan made wcws job easy. He was inadvertently responsible for wcw getting popular. Bit him on the ar$e. You should stop being so hateful about how a niche television show is produced lol. It's bizarre, especially when you collectively "decide things".
I think it's a step in the right direction. Wrestling wasn't always a 'run everyone out of business and compete' world. Finally there might be some understanding that having multiple places for wrestlers to go and work is a GOOD thing for everyone. I think WWE is in such a strong position anyways that giving other promotions a hand doesn't harm them in the slightest.
We have needed HHH for this business for a long time he is really good at this just because he knows what all those guys in the locker room go through wwe couldn’t be in better hands right now like his song says it’s all about the game and how you play
What I always enjoyed about these relationships is that it opens up the door to soooo many matchups that we'd never thought possible. You don't need everyone to cross over, just a few select to make the watch more interesting
I wish WWE would work with AEW and NJPW for Forbidden door or Wrestle Dynasty at the Tokyo Dome, so many incredible matchups, fans shouldn't be punished because of semantics and politics
It's amazing the change we have seen in the company in just a few short years. International superstars holding the big belts. Named shows being held outside of US and Canadian borders. The first colab with another company in over 20 years and they are happy to let the other guys get over. Even the consistency in storytelling has improved.
makes sense, territories (the ones that got along) would always lend each others guys for dream matches so being able to see that with tna and wwe nxt is awesome
Better late than never but I can’t help but think of the BANGER matches we could’ve had between ‘07-‘09. Both companies, especially TNA were in their prime along with their respective talents
This is huge for TNA. A cross over show with TNA is something i never would of thought would of came to fruition. Both NXt and TNA could really benefit massively from the both of them working together. Pro Wrestling at the end of the day is about making money and giving the Fans what they want to see. WWE is in Great Hands with Paul ( Triple H ) running the show and making the moves. I see Big things in the future for WWE and all of Pro Wrestling
In business studies we learned that competition creates a better product. WWE currently dont have competition. It’s very smart of HHH to fund and help their competitors grow. Which in effect will only benefit them. Very smart move
t seems odd that despite being open to work with TNA Wrestling, you don't hear Triple H 'say' TNA Wrestling, as opposed to NXT, which is just another part of the WWE. The thing is, regardless of this deal that's happening, it seems like Vince, Triple H, and many of the WWE fans don't acknowledge other wrestling promotions as equals, much less acknowledge their existence. The moment I learned about this deal, my immediate reaction was, "this is just another 'Invasion' storyline that will have the WWE buy, then liquidate, TNA Wrestling the way they did with WCW/ECW". What will 'change' my perspective on this? Have a "Champion Versus Champion" match at a major PPV (probably asking a lot for it to be at Wrestlemania), where the TNA World Heavyweight Champion faces either the WWE World Heavyweight Champion or the WWE Undisputed Champion, and then, allow the TNA Heavyweight Champion to win and hold both 'their' title and the WWE Championship title, as well as be successful in defending and retaining both those championships.
That is also what I noticed over the past years. You never hear them mentioning other promotions, very rarely they do. But also WWE has been inventing their own terminology to separate themselves from the rest. Universe, Superstars and Sports Entertainment are the usual ones. WWE doesn’t care about the financial well-being of other companies they just want a greater pool of talent.
The WWF had already bought WCW months prior to the Invasion. Everyone that appeared on WWF was under WWF contract as WWF talent. TNA is not a part of TKO holdings.
If you look at it in a different perspective, if they keep this up, working with other promotions, they can extend storyline with their unused talents and make them superstars, it doesn't always have to be a title shot or what not, look at how Joe Hendry is being played, everyone loved the guy even if he's not being pushed for a title. They can have a feud with other super stars in other promotions, and there won't be a need to release more superstars or they can release them and send them to other promotions to have them be connected to wwe in a different way, you can have more talents to work on, while keeping the amount of championships, and having more storylines and having more means of revenue.
Triple h understands competition is good for the industry. Not much talent was coming up 2003 to 2013 with the exception being the ovw class in the early 2000s . I think the death of the territories played a role in that for sure. There’s a reason in 2010 onwards wrestemania started becoming a reunion show for 90s stars.
I think it's great that WWE is willing to work with other companies such as TNA and willing to do such in the fact that it will open a lot more doors for the talent to shine let alone get better in their craft . It's been done so many times with other promotions doing talent trades WCW working with New Japan , AEW working with them and having ROH as well . ECW working with the W*ING company in Japan and FMW , AAA Mexico during the 90's and exchanging talent . TNA working with both AAA and New Japan and AEW doing the same . It gives wrestlers more platforms and different crowds to get noticed let alone have these opportunities . The days of the territories is over and done and it makes for dream matchups originally never though possible . Plus think of all the business and money to be made in this . I say great on HHH for realizing this and acting on it .
I haven’t been into wrestling for about 15 years now, I’ve only ever briefly checked in if something big was happening, but this would never have happened back when I was watching wrestling.
When WWE is practically helping rebuild TNA, it’s a glorious time to be alive. If there is 3 major wrestling companies in North America and if they all have tv time that’s beautiful,
If people listen the first thing he said is that the younger performers need repetitions. They planned to cut back on house shows this year, so he probably sees this partnership as a more cost-effective solution to provide those extra repetitions with a wider variety of talent in the absence of those house shows. TNA probably foots a part of the bill with the production and they get the benefit of WWE's branding.
Vince sought to eliminate have all the competition and have WWE be the only platform of wrestling, Triple H sees the bigger picture and saw how working together and helping other promotions and their talent is better for business maybe not exactly like the territory days but something similar would be good for the business as a whole
Truthfully, I like Ash more in TNA than when she was playing Dana Brooke in wwe. I've always been a fan of hers and it's nice to see them doing something with her talents. In my opinion, WWE never used her properly.
WWE... About time! Only if they did this with WCW back before they bought them out. All the dream matches that would've happened that everyone us wrestling fans would've enjoyed. Better late then never. Bless you Hunter. 🔥
I think this help WWE and TNA altogether. While slowly tearing down qrestlers exclusivity in gimmicks between companies or names that Vince did after attitude era wwf vs wcw monday night wars. Now wrestlers go over on their own not shoving down our throat who is good or evil. Promo seems to be more freely, face can cut heel promo and vice versa to heel without rely too much on script word by word like Vince wanted. And feuds can extend vetween social media and off tv and now possibly between wrestling promotions. Noe in royal rumble we can expect everyone to appears not just legends or returning wwe legends/veterans only. Also it help wrestling extend beyond USA, UK and Japan in global markets and it shown really good nowadays. We can expect more talented and diversity wrestlers in next generations. So yeah it benefits WWE and TNA plus possibly more promotions in the future.
To think if AEW built itself as the newest wrestling, instead of the WWE alternative and kept WWE out of every promo. We would have a potential crossover event.
Im all for this tna gets a big boost and wwe will end up benefiting to when they sign stars this reminds me of how thing in ecw kind of went back in the day but more public
Im gonna say it has to do with the toxic back and forth and including TK behavior not to mention how he handles his company. WWE seems to be working along with TNA yet I feel AEW would rather be competitive than work along each other
I always thought WWE should be like a football team. If you have a great young talent signed to you but you have no space for him on the main card then send him on lone to TNA/AAA to build up his skills & a fan base. Then the fans will be so excited for him to come to WWE after a year or two in TNA.
Though extremely unlikely to happen if AEW could put aside their differences with the WWE also form a partnership with them that would be insane and would do AEW tremendous good!

@@williamwhite2830 Oooooo Broken Matt vs The Wyatt Six? MONEY MATCH
Oh yeah I wanna see ziggler in a wwe match again. That would be awesome
Bring Ultimate X to WWE
They've made it very clear that TNA talent is below WWE main Roster talent. That is why they're only working with NXT talent.
Vince the perv: No other Companies allowed!
Triple H: We’re open for business, Shawn will welcome you all to NXT.
Acting like Vince McMahon didn't work other promotions is just retarded. Just because he didn't acknowledge or work with your one little favorite barnyard promotion doesn't negate the fact that he routinely worked with others. Smokey Mtn. NJPW. USWA. ECW. Just to name a very few.
Haha ‘The Perv' got me xD
Vince THE POOPER is better
Yeah Yall weirdos hate Vince and are pretending like majority of woman have no morals and do anything to get ahead in life I'm pretty sure anyone he was doing stuff with was 100% with it because that's how the world is and always was Just in today's time we act like females aren't liars even though we all experienced females being Thots
Real reason: It no longer has the potential to be a threat.
They also want to sign Hendry and Jordynne.
Thank you for uploading this! 🔥
A partnership makes sense, TNA gets more exposure. When needed WWE gets access to video footage of superstars with a history in TNA. It gives NXT young stars an opportunities to get experience.
Summarized: TNA is their 2nd developmental where they send people who still need work in the ring, hence the word he kept repeating, "reps." In turn, the WWE name in affiliation with TNA helps TNA.
Every Paul Leveque interview I see gives me more faith in the company every time. He really shows he knows what he's doing on a level that surprises me every time.
He being a former wrestler/talent is great.
It’s good for WWE for Tatum Paxley to wrestle a credible opponent on a PPV. It’s good for TNA to have Jordynne Grace seen by lots of people who might tune in to watch her. But.. it would also be nice to see Trick Williams or AJ Styles on TNA and I hope that comes eventually.
I do think that the WWE now understands how having a healthy competition lifts all boats. I think they, as a company, went as far down the road of "destroy your competition and swallow them up" as they could...and it wasnt successful financially or creatively.
Without competition, they ain’t trying. Must be lonely at the top with nothing to strive for. At least with competition, there’s a reason to push limits. Especially when wwe lead is generations ahead of the competition
I think it's more that HHH recognizes that they benefit from a deeper talent pool. A new indy wrestler made a comment to a friend of mine at a show that they might do about two dozen shows and then go to WWE. This was during the era when there really wasn't a feeder system. Thing is, they were right and got signed to FCW and appeared on early black & gold. (No, I don't remember exactly who said it. Just that the friend told me about it when they made their TV debut. This was just before the indy awakening that produced most of the current rosters.)
😂😂😂 They're gonna buy TNA.
That's what's happening here.
Feel free to keep up that blind optimism tho.
Bro they were working with other promotions before and even after WCW was bought. So… what’re you guys talking about?
They didn't destroy competition tho
Those companies imploded on there own
Hopefully Aj can have at least 1 more TNA match with his old theme.
"GET READY TO FLY!"
Get ready to fly
I love that theme, it’s way better than his wwe theme song but sadly he said he’s sick of it & doesn’t want to hear it again on Chris Van Vliet because he’s heard it his whole career
And I'm sure Tony is getting his fingers ready for the "blistering" tweet.
Tony inspired this with working with TNA first & Open door.
The only thing Tony is getting his fingers ready to do is chop his marching powder , he put a lock on the WWE forbidden door when he said the Weinstein bs . I think that was the fire that lit WWE back up and said naw f this call center looking mofo we're bout to cook
@@holdthetruthhostage Your username is so fitting because you’re holding the truth hostage while spewing lies💀 Forbidden Door was not the first time wrestling companies worked together. There’s many occasions that happened years before AEW was even an idea 😂
@@Jfkeav23 kind of a stoopid comment. How you quoting sht that happened decades ago. Modern times khan was the one who did it when vince and others were conservative hillbillies
@@Jfkeav23 It is the first time a major American Wrestling Promotion had a working relationship that big with other wrestling promotions. WWE, WCW or ECW did not do that before on a consistent basis.
Endeavor owns WWE, TNA has a streaming deal with Endeavor that predates WWE acquisition. Endeavor is using WWE to boost TNA streaming, I’m sure the reasons HHH is giving are valid too.
It just makes sense that the two promotions work together, that way we get to see matches we never thought we would see!
I'm sure that's a side benefit, but the main benefit is probably that this is a more cost-effective way for their younger talent to get more experience, with them cutting back on house shows.
I remember how TNA parodied HHH many moons ago and now they are collaborating.
Cody Rhodes parodied Triple H in AEW just a couple years ago, and they are on great terms now. I think it shows that Triple H doesn't let things get to him on a personal level, it's just business, and he understands that. Hell, CM Punk coming back to WWE pretty much cements that as fact that Triple H will do business and lay the personal issues aside. This is the best time in 20 years to be a wrestling fan.
EVEN THE MAN WITH THREE H'S COULD APPRECIATE THIS LEVEL OF TALENT BURY!
I remember years ago jeff Jarrett had an idea for a TNA/NXT developmental exchange that idea was shot down by Vince (McMahon)
Nic Nemmeth vs AJ Styles in TNA is gonna be a BANGER
So far it’s only been NXT. Wonder when they’ll start showing up on RAW and SD
Pretty much what Triple H is saying is “ Pro Wrestling is a dying art form. In which WWF/WWE has a lot to do with. The future of our business only will stand if we help other companies be able to pay people livable wages to feed their families. That way future generations from now we will have a huge incentive in the future to keep WWE and the sport growing. The sport has been stagnant due to other sports paying more, and losing people to Hollywood. We need to be able to have Pro Wrestlers willing to put their bodies on the line for a prize and not just make this sport a hobby; or a thing of the past.”
Not really
That’s not what he said lmao. Idk how you can think pro wrestling is dying when there are more relevant promotions than in decades, more top stars, and better athletes than ever before.
@@JustinWPruettPro wrestling IS dying. You all spent 20 years hounding the only person in it who ever had a lack of ego (Vince) and now that he's gone you demand this new era do things the way you've been clamouring for.
He was strong enough to stand up to you. Triple H/The Rock/TKO have shown already they aren't. You're all in ecstacy because now wwe is keeping you in the loop about what they do, like a government that owes you information about its directives present and future.
This, ahem, is a television show. It's a television show that you're built up in to some super political thing now the people fronting it are scared about not doing things your way so this television show is going to revolve forever more around keeping people happy like voters. Long term, you're not gonna get the thing from Vince that you didn't know he was so good at giving you. Because he presented a television show.
He used to give you what you didn't think you wanted. You're not gonna get that now. You're gonna see everything coming. Wrestling fans will be happy getting kept in the loop. But the rest of the potential worldwide audience he always tried to draw in, which you gave him sh*t for?
Yeah, they ain't coming here, the outside world doesn't care about wrestling and the only person in the wrestling biz has been demonised for trying to bring in "casual fans".
@@TheRealAhoy In what world does Vince not have an ego? For 20 years he thought he was the God of Wrestling. For a lot of that time, he gave what he thought fans wanted & shat on what the fans did want. In the post WCW era, 80% of the stuff that wrestlers did to get themselves over with fans was kiboshed because Vince didn't come up with it. Cesaro's swing. Barret giving 'Bad News'. Russev Day. There are countless other examples.
What did we get instead? Lesnar having less than 100 matches in 10 years, nearly all of them garbage. Even if he brought in outsiders for the PPV, who stuck around to watch the rest of WWE? Nobody. By the way: has anyone cared that Lesnar hasn't been seen for a year now? Didn't think so. Then there was Roman Reigns being rammed down everyone's throat as the face of the company for 5 years before he took time off for because of leukemia & people finally started to like him. And who can forget rematch after rematch after rematch because either a) the entire show was ripped up at 4pm or b) the old man forgot that this match has already happened on TV 3 times in the last 5 weeks. Sometimes both. Real genius.
As for WWE telling us everything that happens. 98% of people aren't paying attention to that. And most of the remainder only have a small sense of the behind the scenes stuff. Some even intentionally avoid areas of the IWC because they want to watch the show & enjoy it for what it is. And the quality of the shows are far better now than they were a year ago. And a year ago? They were far better then than they were a year before that.
@@dgthe3 The real world. Y'know, the one we all live in? Where he ran a company that is basically built around fame chasers, who all want to be number 1, just because they believe they should. He had to manage their egos, because they all get in to the medium of wrestling so they can chase the spotlight. You act like he was some horrible manager who was all about picking favourites and "holding others down". The people he picked where those he thought were best able to convey the kind of presence of top featured performers that he would highlight on live shows and television shows. You all think it's nepotism though, and he was ruling like he was one of the Targaryans from game of thrones.
This. Is. A. Television. Show.
The. People. In. It. Want. To. Be. On. Tv
That's why he hires them. "He held Cesaro down" - what had Cesaro done since leaving? Had a few good matches. That's all he does! People who tune in to wrestling aren't looking for a good wrestling show, they're just looking for a good TV show period. If Cesaro was the amazing wrestler he was AND a magnetic presence when he isn't in the ring, man, he'd be gold. This is why Vince pushed Daniel Bryan. It's cute that you all think he was holding him down. HE fed you that story beat, straight away on NXT when DB debuted, he pushed the narrative that "he didn't fit in" but in doing so he gave him considerably more air time than anybody else, because DB wasn't just amazing in the ring, he was also great at promos too. That's why DB had Vince behind him right away, because he had it all. He certainly didn't judge him on size, even though you all think he only cares about a certain type. Vince loved Bryan, he gave him the money in the bank briefcase a year after he debuted and the world title 6 months later. That's a damn near super push. But you were all too busy moaning and complaining and writing your own versions of the riot act about him, so you didn't appreciate any of it, so they played you like a fiddle and rode that entire arc until he won at WrestleMania. They "let you" believe you made a difference, because you're so gullible that you hear through the grapevine that Vince didn't read internet stuff that you ignored all the people he hired to do it and compile reports about what people on the Internet were saying.
And you know another thing. That invasion angle "he botched"... He didn't even want to do that. He went out of his way to do it for the fans, but it wasn't in his heart, not his idea. He didn't plan on buying wcw at all - he never thought about a brand rivalry. No interest, but he bought wcw because his wife convinced him the tape library was worth the purchase. He could have just left it there. What on earth did WWF have to prove to wcw? Lol. They absolutely wiped the floor with them. Putting wcw on par with his company, never mind anywhere near it, would damage his brand. He tried it anyway because fans wanted it, but he never had any interest in it.
Reigns, by the way, was brilliant booking by him. He saw a guy who looked and carried himself like a star and had faith in him despite you all trying your best to sabotage him, because you all have hard-ons for being on the creative team. That mega push provided such backbone that the tribal Chief gimmick was an instant hit that remains a hit to this day.
Just admit it, your whole problem here is that Vince created wwe in to a thing that you liked so much that you fantasied about running it yourself, but you live in your reality while he continued living in his and the bitterness just consumed you and still consumes you because he was a person who had a toy you didn't have.
That guy did an amazing job of managing egos for all those years, but struggled more when the Internet came in to play, because you and your cohorts decided to turn fandom of this past time in to a wannabe revolution based on taking down an empire, and he was "the emperor" the way you saw it. And you've made the resulting generations of talent weak, Dolph Ziggler stagnated because he thought he was the next Shawn Michaels because you declared he was and he listened. Soooooo many talents began listening to you make-believe talent scouts who said they should be in the main event instead of the guy who would tell them how to be a main eventer.
Cena is a main eventer because he did weird stuff like sit in all the seats of the arena before a show just so he could gauge how the person sitting in that particular seat would feel the ring from where they're sitting. Outside of the box stuff right there. Vince loved him, because he was thinking of how he could connect to the audience. Not like 99% of talent that says "I really really am trying". Cena actually proved he was trying! What you don't see during Cena promos, is him looking directly into the crowd and making select people in it actually feel like he was talking to them. That goes such a long way. Every few seconds somebodyin a seat will see Cena looking right at them and talking to them or winking. While people "try to get fans involved", he actually does.
People bury Vince over choosing Jericho to beat AJ Styles at Mania 32? Why? Because he was the new guy? AJ was immediately pushed in to the title picture the next night and he impressed so much that he was pushed as a main event player from that point on. Jericho winning was far more important. For the few years before that he had welcome short runs, but he was little more than a guest star. He needed to be properly reheated. You're all so formulaic though about "who goes over" that you can't see why him going over was the right call. You automatically think the new guy/young guy should win. Pushing wrestlers isn't just about making stars, it's about maintaining/reheating established stars. Jericho won that match, and went on to have the best year of his career since 2010. You all loved his work in 2016. Praised it. If he didn't get a big match win at WrestleMania over a guy who was heading to the main event, he wouldn't have been reheated as a guy who could still hang and his partnership with KO wouldn't have been as solid as it was. It reestablished Jericho as a serious ring presence, a far cry from the guest star type who would show up every now and then to do something moderately appealing and then disappear without much drama.
People like you expect people like me to write a thesis and it still isn't good enough for you, because you're a couch potato who for some reason thinks you're extremely active. It's why all of your points are so bitter about him, because he actually did the leg work in life and your dream was his reality. Which is what this is all really about. You're also deeply insecure about wrestling not being popular and you blame him for it as if it's not already a niche product that HE had made popular a few times through his promotion. You think wcw got popular because of the nwo? Nonsense, it got popular because Hulk Hogan turned to the dark side, the nwo just carried on that momentum. Wcw got popular because they did something abstract with the biggest wwe star of all time, it got buzz. Aka, his booking of Hogan made wcws job easy. He was inadvertently responsible for wcw getting popular. Bit him on the ar$e.
You should stop being so hateful about how a niche television show is produced lol. It's bizarre, especially when you collectively "decide things".
I remember saying on twitter this is probably the mindset behind the partnerships WWE has been making, not just stealing all the talent
I think it's a step in the right direction. Wrestling wasn't always a 'run everyone out of business and compete' world. Finally there might be some understanding that having multiple places for wrestlers to go and work is a GOOD thing for everyone. I think WWE is in such a strong position anyways that giving other promotions a hand doesn't harm them in the slightest.
Nic Nemeth leading the TNA charge
We have needed HHH for this business for a long time he is really good at this just because he knows what all those guys in the locker room go through wwe couldn’t be in better hands right now like his song says it’s all about the game and how you play
Still can't get over how HHH matured from the greatest most hated heel to the mature leader he is today
What I always enjoyed about these relationships is that it opens up the door to soooo many matchups that we'd never thought possible. You don't need everyone to cross over, just a few select to make the watch more interesting
Dude is a damn genius. Yes WWE gains the most from this as they should, but TNA went from known by a decent portion of fans to being known globally.
Paul is such a natural with the roles he's taken in the main office. The company really needs to be led by a real wrestler.
I wish WWE would work with AEW and NJPW for Forbidden door or Wrestle Dynasty at the Tokyo Dome, so many incredible matchups, fans shouldn't be punished because of semantics and politics
Doubt WWE would ever want to interact with Tony Khan, guy is a tool
In Short: he’s doing it for the wrestling business as a whole
"no more territories" what a time to be alive that was
It's amazing the change we have seen in the company in just a few short years. International superstars holding the big belts. Named shows being held outside of US and Canadian borders. The first colab with another company in over 20 years and they are happy to let the other guys get over. Even the consistency in storytelling has improved.
makes sense, territories (the ones that got along) would always lend each others guys for dream matches so being able to see that with tna and wwe nxt is awesome
AJ Styles needs to show up for one more match in TNA. It’s the golden opportunity.
They should put tna in 2k
Better late than never but I can’t help but think of the BANGER matches we could’ve had between ‘07-‘09. Both companies, especially TNA were in their prime along with their respective talents
Between the lawsuit and Trips changing WWE around, Vince must be having a nervous breakdown.
Great answer! Its about the bigger picture and about the business
This is huge for TNA. A cross over show with TNA is something i never would of thought would of came to fruition. Both NXt and TNA could really benefit massively from the both of them working together. Pro Wrestling at the end of the day is about making money and giving the Fans what they want to see. WWE is in Great Hands with Paul ( Triple H ) running the show and making the moves. I see Big things in the future for WWE and all of Pro Wrestling
This is how it should be, pro wrestling is in good hands.
In business studies we learned that competition creates a better product. WWE currently dont have competition. It’s very smart of HHH to fund and help their competitors grow. Which in effect will only benefit them. Very smart move
This is getting so much eyeballs on TNA. This is a great deal.
I never, ever heard Vince talk like this, except for his own NXT. So I personally do think HHH is indeed changing WWE. I think it’s for the better.
WWE talking with TNA is crazy.
t seems odd that despite being open to work with TNA Wrestling, you don't hear Triple H 'say' TNA Wrestling, as opposed to NXT, which is just another part of the WWE. The thing is, regardless of this deal that's happening, it seems like Vince, Triple H, and many of the WWE fans don't acknowledge other wrestling promotions as equals, much less acknowledge their existence. The moment I learned about this deal, my immediate reaction was, "this is just another 'Invasion' storyline that will have the WWE buy, then liquidate, TNA Wrestling the way they did with WCW/ECW". What will 'change' my perspective on this? Have a "Champion Versus Champion" match at a major PPV (probably asking a lot for it to be at Wrestlemania), where the TNA World Heavyweight Champion faces either the WWE World Heavyweight Champion or the WWE Undisputed Champion, and then, allow the TNA Heavyweight Champion to win and hold both 'their' title and the WWE Championship title, as well as be successful in defending and retaining both those championships.
That is also what I noticed over the past years. You never hear them mentioning other promotions, very rarely they do. But also WWE has been inventing their own terminology to separate themselves from the rest. Universe, Superstars and Sports Entertainment are the usual ones. WWE doesn’t care about the financial well-being of other companies they just want a greater pool of talent.
The WWF had already bought WCW months prior to the Invasion. Everyone that appeared on WWF was under WWF contract as WWF talent.
TNA is not a part of TKO holdings.
I loved tna octagon days. They killed the company when they went with square. Bring back the octagon
Joe Hendry 🙏🙏👏
NXT×TNA World's Collide. Make it happen HHH
Expanding the business is good business
Friendly competition is great, multiple opportunities is great, working together builds the industry as well 😊 it empowers all
If you look at it in a different perspective, if they keep this up, working with other promotions, they can extend storyline with their unused talents and make them superstars, it doesn't always have to be a title shot or what not, look at how Joe Hendry is being played, everyone loved the guy even if he's not being pushed for a title. They can have a feud with other super stars in other promotions, and there won't be a need to release more superstars or they can release them and send them to other promotions to have them be connected to wwe in a different way, you can have more talents to work on, while keeping the amount of championships, and having more storylines and having more means of revenue.
I'm gonna fucking say it
I think the Shane Mchmahon meeting with Tony Khan was about the MOST Forbidden of Doors.
I just want to see mjf in wwe
Shane doesn't work for WWE anymore, how would he accomplish that exactly?
Triple h understands competition is good for the industry.
Not much talent was coming up 2003 to 2013 with the exception being the ovw class in the early 2000s . I think the death of the territories played a role in that for sure. There’s a reason in 2010 onwards wrestemania started becoming a reunion show for 90s stars.
I think it's great that WWE is willing to work with other companies such as TNA and willing to do such in the fact that it will open a lot more doors for the talent to shine let alone get better in their craft . It's been done so many times with other promotions doing talent trades WCW working with New Japan , AEW working with them and having ROH as well . ECW working with the W*ING company in Japan and FMW , AAA Mexico during the 90's and exchanging talent . TNA working with both AAA and New Japan and AEW doing the same . It gives wrestlers more platforms and different crowds to get noticed let alone have these opportunities . The days of the territories is over and done and it makes for dream matchups originally never though possible . Plus think of all the business and money to be made in this . I say great on HHH for realizing this and acting on it .
I haven’t been into wrestling for about 15 years now, I’ve only ever briefly checked in if something big was happening, but this would never have happened back when I was watching wrestling.
Imagine we get a storyline where TNA invade WWE and there are hints of betrayal from WWE superstars joining TNA. Similar to WWF vs the Alliance
To late. You should have done this when TNA was at its peak before 2010.
In millions of year I would never Imagine see this
When WWE is practically helping rebuild TNA, it’s a glorious time to be alive. If there is 3 major wrestling companies in North America and if they all have tv time that’s beautiful,
If people listen the first thing he said is that the younger performers need repetitions. They planned to cut back on house shows this year, so he probably sees this partnership as a more cost-effective solution to provide those extra repetitions with a wider variety of talent in the absence of those house shows. TNA probably foots a part of the bill with the production and they get the benefit of WWE's branding.
If WWE wants to work with TNA, then it should be enjoyed by everyone. Swapping talent can only help both companies.
This is good for wrestling in general
Vince sought to eliminate have all the competition and have WWE be the only platform of wrestling, Triple H sees the bigger picture and saw how working together and helping other promotions and their talent is better for business maybe not exactly like the territory days but something similar would be good for the business as a whole
They know tna isnt a threat and they dont want to be. They just want to put in the most entertaining show as possible.
Truthfully, I like Ash more in TNA than when she was playing Dana Brooke in wwe. I've always been a fan of hers and it's nice to see them doing something with her talents. In my opinion, WWE never used her properly.
You hear that "Business"
AJ Lee vs Nemeth is gonna be a banger
Real reason: It no longer has the potential to be a threat.
They also want to sign Hendry and Jordynne.
AMEN
They are having fun now and treating it like a real business that’s all
I AGREE. ALSO Jordynne is a great wrestler and beautiful
Nothing will ever be a threat to WWE. AEW included. WCW was the first and last threat.
VERY TRUE. WCW was the last threat to WWE.
WWE... About time! Only if they did this with WCW back before they bought them out. All the dream matches that would've happened that everyone us wrestling fans would've enjoyed. Better late then never. Bless you Hunter. 🔥
That's why I respect HHH. He runs WWE but he loves wrestling!!
I think this help WWE and TNA altogether. While slowly tearing down qrestlers exclusivity in gimmicks between companies or names that Vince did after attitude era wwf vs wcw monday night wars. Now wrestlers go over on their own not shoving down our throat who is good or evil. Promo seems to be more freely, face can cut heel promo and vice versa to heel without rely too much on script word by word like Vince wanted. And feuds can extend vetween social media and off tv and now possibly between wrestling promotions. Noe in royal rumble we can expect everyone to appears not just legends or returning wwe legends/veterans only. Also it help wrestling extend beyond USA, UK and Japan in global markets and it shown really good nowadays. We can expect more talented and diversity wrestlers in next generations. So yeah it benefits WWE and TNA plus possibly more promotions in the future.
I know Denise’s voice when I hear it, she killing it all the time
I hope wrestlers from TNA eventually show up on Raw or Smackdown and vice versa,🙏
Times like these that make you think “man we need Vince back…”
I cannot say I'm a big fan of WWE shows but I'm glad HHH has to open mind to do things like that. Vince would have never done that.
Its the same reason WWE worked with ECW, there was a bigger rival show on Turner that they needed to chip away at.
To think if AEW built itself as the newest wrestling, instead of the WWE alternative and kept WWE out of every promo. We would have a potential crossover event.
get dolph ziggler on nxt
Dolph wants to fight AJ styles of the TNA championship and TBH i'd frankly want to see that more than half of the WWE roster right now
Im all for this tna gets a big boost and wwe will end up benefiting to when they sign stars this reminds me of how thing in ecw kind of went back in the day but more public
AEW forced wwe to do what wwe doing today
That's why competition is necessary, happy AEW is fulfilling its purpose
If WWE is open for business, and Tony Khan is open to working with WWE, why can’t we see WWE / AEW work together??
Im gonna say it has to do with the toxic back and forth and including TK behavior not to mention how he handles his company. WWE seems to be working along with TNA yet I feel AEW would rather be competitive than work along each other
Such a triple h answer
I like to think of it as other leagues in the same sport.
I always thought WWE should be like a football team.
If you have a great young talent signed to you but you have no space for him on the main card then send him on lone to TNA/AAA to build up his skills & a fan base. Then the fans will be so excited for him to come to WWE after a year or two in TNA.
It’s way for NXT projects to get reps with veterans that WWE isn’t paying that also benefits both sides
Basically he wants them ready to mesh with the WWE style when they get signed in the future :)
I feel like triple H would’ve been a great fit in TNA back when it was the 6 sided like 05-06.
Just a smart move business wise.
Bringing back the territories corporate style.
Though extremely unlikely to happen if AEW could put aside their differences with the WWE also form a partnership with them that would be insane and would do AEW tremendous good!
Vince wanted a monopoly. HHH wants a legitimate wrestling agency.
“I heard TNA is hiring.” That line aged well.
It's be cool to see AJ Styles to make an appearance on TNA
