What is the “WWE Style” of wrestling and how does it differ from other styles? Also, I heard of something called “WWE Main Event Style” and is it the same as “Big Fight Feel”?
I have no idea who coined those phrases so you would have to ask them what they mean by them as I think it’s just a matter of how someone views the business. To me, the WWE Style is well developed characters and storylines in matches that are believable and logical. The Main Event Style to me means that in the very big matches talents will kick out a little more than in a regular bout since the stakes are higher. Big Fight Feel happens when the booking is done so well that the anticipation for the match is palpable.
Is it normal for the New York State Athletic Commission to delay a show like they did at the GCW show ?
If there is an incident like what happened with Allie Katch, absolutely. The commission there is pretty hands on and is not just there for show.
Hi guys, I think we all, even if many of us dislike the product, are happy AEW exists. It provides jobs and that's extremely important. With that being said, many are of the belief that their days being competition are basically done. With that, I hear speculation and whispers online often that many wrestlers see AEW as a stepping stone of sorts. A place to get seen, get a name and reputation, then go to WWE. This isn't new, Chris Jericho did the very same with WCW, for example and has been open about it. Do you think there are some wrestlers, perhaps in growing numbers, who see AEW as a developmental of sorts or a step towards WWE as opposed to their final destination? I think Mariah May, for example, is someone that fits the bill based on her long-time WWE fandom.
I don’t think it, I know it as I know of wrestlers that feel that way. It is not that way for everyone. There are talents that like the all moves, no selling or character development style of wrestling, but there are also a lot of them that want to go to the big time.
I read an article on Variety on the success of the debut of Raw on Netflix from a writer who watched wrestling once in his life. He concluded that he could understand the pop culture appeal of pro wrestling, but made a comment about wrestling being "massively popular, yet niche". Isn't this a contradiction? How can something be massively popular at niche at the same time?
I didn’t read the article but it does come across oddly. If you compare it to the NFL? Yeah then I guess it’s “niche” but there are a LOT of programs that wish that they could do the numbers that Raw is doing on Netflix…..and get paid what WWE is getting paid.
Can you believe that before they started, some people said that AEW would pass WWE within a year?
I said that they were clueless then, and history has proven that to be true. AEW couldn’t even beat bad Vince McMahon booking, let alone what WWE is doing now. But, the people who said that felt that the version of wrestling that they liked is what the masses craved, and they were proven wrong.
