If ONLY judging by roster and Nothing else and without BIAS, which promotion would you say has the better roster in today's wrestling world?

Future stars? AEW (and I'm counting MJF)

Current, established talent? WWE

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I think AEW booking is logical. It’s not as clean or traditional as NXT but they were dealing with a much smaller roster with a regular turnover rate. They did a great job but it was a lot easier to manage.

I’m personally interested in the Hobbs/Starks, HOB/DarbyStingMiro, Christian/jackperry storylines and I’m looking forward to seeing stokleys stable, Jamie hayter turn on Britt and Eddie kingston finally win the big one. So for me the storylines are the best in current wrestling it’s not just matches although that is my preference

Yea, we can agree to disagree.

Even take the Hobbs/Starks/Hook situation, I found it to be illogical.

Why did Hook challenge Starks?
Why were Starks/Hobbs broken up already?
We were never told these things. It all just.....HAPPENED.
It seems like things were just done to do things. It all seemed very RUSHED.
I know people are high on Starks so none of what I saw, outside of his firery promo, really made much of sense.

Christian/Jungle/Dino: Also illogical. Why did Dino spend 2 weeks with Christian only for him to come back to Jungle boy? That screams, "Vince tore up the plan right before RAW" type of behavior.

So I think a lot of times AEW does stuff just for the hell of it with no end game in mind.

You’ve gotta be joking with why did Hook challenge Starks? Come on man that’s a reach lol

Definitely Miro like Bee Socks said, just his initial character wasn’t all there. He should definitely be near the top of the card now though. And ditto to him being nuclear hot during Rusev Day, then they just nukes it like crazy. I never understood that. There were two different times the fans got firmly behind him and they cut his legs out from under him both times.

The problem with Rusev was that he organically got Rusev Day over.

Vince wanted people to grab for the brass ring and get themselves......but only on his terms otherwise he cuts that **** off with the quickness.

See Rusev Day, see Zach Ryder.

Tried to do that to #OurLegend too danger style 1995 but he was able to overcome IT.

AEW’s mens roster is the best ever IMO

Their womens roster has potential but doesn’t belong in the same conversation as WWE’s

I remember Rusev being rebellious or appearing that way as well.

Miro Explains Why He Was Punished For A Change In WWE

WWE is the biggest and most successful wrestling company in the world but that does not mean that they are perfect. There are a lot of things that take place in WWE that leaves you wondering what in the world they are thinking. Sometimes that is quite the problem if WWE decides that something is...

Vince McMahon punished real-life couple after they got married without telling WWE

The 3-time United States champion said that he was "doing jobs forever" after Vince McMahon punished him. Miro and Lana got married in 2016 after getting engaged a year earlier

Yea gonna have to agree. Hook was swaying away from Team Tazz for quite sometime. The storyline played out perfectly imo

 

[noblekane]

going to watch last weeks dynamite before this weeks so i might burn myself out before the live show so i might sound like a hating *** wwe fanboy tonight

well moreso than previous times

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Toni storm..

A&W definitely has better and more young talent.

WWE’s women’s division is leagues and leagues superior to A&W. Might not be a woman in A&W that could even crack the top 10 in WWE.

WWE has way more big guys that are far better than what A&W has.

WWE has an incredible amount of talent with diverse skills. Things have just been dumbed down with Vince for so long that IT can be easy to forget.

Lasting image of rusev was him getting packed up by taker in Saudi Arabia

 

[FellowchuckerMikey]

My only pushback would be ,much like how ECW was, the AEW crowd is very supportive/forgiving.

I guess you could argue this is how wrestling fans should be but that is a different topic for another day.

I say that to say they practically act like a cranked up studio audience. The whole company is practically over if we're being honest so EYE wouldn't use that as a determination on what they should/ shouldn't do from a booking perspective.

Not saying it's a bad thing but having a crowd being that supportive has it flaws.

It's almost like a woman that is with a man that always tells her what she wants to hear.

So don’t listen to the fans enjoying the product? They don’t know what they’re talking about.

Where have I heard that before?

 

[noblekane]

damn man why hobbs always turning on people?

I'm sure you didn't get that from my messaging but if thisnis what you are going to resort to, we can dead the convo.

Have a blessed evening.

What they did with the Blacked storyline was disgusting. Ru deserved better than that. He should know better than to cut his hair and change his appearance without bringing it up with creative/producers. Also why not say you're getting married and try to work it into the story?

EYE come in peace. You don't think Thunder Rosa, Jade Cardgill, even Nya Rose can crack the top 10?
After Becky, Baby Girl, Rhea, Bad Pam, Sasha and Charles there is a huge drop off in talent. Hence why they need a mid card Women's belt

Then what does this mean?

ima be honest with you........ as one of the only handful of unbiased fans here the, only 3 female wrestlers who could make it in the wwe are jade cargill, nyla rose, and britt baker.

the rest are pretty mediocre. tony con refused to sign veteran free agents to help the division and instead tried to elevate the worst female wrestler on earth right now in red velvet because he was ******* her.

Bianca
Rhea
Harlot
Becky
Sasha
Bailey
Oscar
Bazemore
Naomi
Low Sky
Ronda

Don’t think any of the A&W women are cracking that tbh. They’d fall in the next tier.

 

[1995]

I really hope Shayna is one of those people who benefit from the new creative

Champion material imo

And bring this back

i think Jade cracks this line up easy. Not saying she’s better I just don’t think they care about at least 3 of the above listed like that.

 

[B Sox]

I like Jade. Has IT factor. If you want to argue that she’d be at the end of that tier, I’m not going to throw a fit. Everyone on that list can wrestle circles around her though, if workrate is what you’re looking for. Which seems to be the case from some of the posts you’ve made recently.

Not really arguing anything other than that she seems to fit the WWE mold. I’m not even a fan of hers I could just see them picking her over Shayna Io or Naomi in the pecking order.
