WWE was right in their handling of Daniel Bryan. They knew he was a danger to himself, even if his desire to wrestle and entertain the fans is admirable. Now he's injured almost always.
He’s been staying healthy for abit. Adam Cole on the other hand, has been out for over 1 year At the moment. He’s been with AEW for over 3 years and available for in ring action less than 12 months.
Impact Wrestling has focused more on elevating their homegrown talent in recent years, while AEW focuses on giving former WWE wrestlers more spotlight, a boss that is driving away people from watching their product and too many pointless announcements. WWE recently is focusing on elevating newer talent and creating future stars in thd process e.g. Jade Cargill, LA Knight, Jey Uso, Dirty Dom, Tiffany Stratton, Rhea Ripley, Bron Breaker, Carmelo Hayes, Austin Theory, Karrion Kross, Ilja Dragunov, Dragon Lee, Gunther and Damian Priest.
That's why aj style went to Japan. beer money, Eric young joe all left , tna gave their championship and mainevent to ex aging wwe stars like Christian, kurt, jeff, booker t, sting, hogan, Nash, hall, Scott, Bobby, bubba ray, foley, flair...how is that elevating your young talent? Guys like cm punk went became big in wwe, aj and Joe became big in indies.
Christian Cage is the best thing about all of AEW. Anybody and everybody could be a problem in AEW except for him. He actually deserves an even bigger push. He's a genius in the ring and on a level of his own on the mic!
@@madant22 Christian Cage really deserves a run as the AEW World Championship even if just for a couple of months. He could easily have an iconic feud with MJF, take it off him before eventually dropping it to a fresh babyface turning him into a made man. I really hope they don't hold him back with the excuse of age since he was already held back so much an his career back in the day specially with how great he is in every segment and every match. He keeps delivers gold weekly!
I remember you made a video about WWE and their 40 year olds around last year. I think its kind of odd how this is flipped (not you flipping, but in how AEW has changed).
Remember when AEW fans used to poke fun at WWE for using old guys like Batista, Triple H, Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, John Cena etc on a consistent basis? Boy, they real quiet now when such "young talents" like Sting, Ric Flair, Chris Jericho, Paul Wight, Billy Gunn, Christian Cage and Adam Copeland to name a few.
People didn't poke fun at those guys because of their age. They complained because they were beating young talent, winning the top titles and main eventing PPVs and all whilst on part time contracts Ric Flair isn't there to wrestle. Sting is about to retire and has wrestled about 20 matches in 3 years.Big Show has wrestled 2 matches in 3 years. Christian is doing some of the best work of his career and both him and Edge are there to retire.Billy There's a huge difference is how both companies used older talent but people love false equivalencies
This vid reminds me of the time when JR and Russo were on a WWF call-in show telling everyone that the WWF was all about THE NEW GENERATION and no one wants to watch no old ass wrestlers no more. And then Nash & Hall left and NWO happened...and WWF got curbstomped for 2 years. There's nothing wrong with having a mix of newbies and veterans. You just need decent leadership to make it all work...which AEW doesn't have at the moment.
Except aew doesn't have the talent to rebounda and turn things around like wwe did. They don't have talents like Austin, the rock, foley, taker, Shawn, hhh, y2j most specially the genius of vince
@@payeeang7838 but before the Attitude era, companies didn't think they were worth anything either (except HBK who was making waves with Jannetty). Remember, when The Rock was Flex, people hated him and boo'd him out of every arena. Most of them were seen as WCW jobbers. H was at WCW for a minute, but they decided to bump him in favor of Alex Wright instead. Again, the difference is leadership.

AEW also has an edgy problem. this promotion tries to be so hardcore that it's lame and risking the health of its talent. terrible, terrible. i see class action suits coming up for negligence.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with older wrestlers coming back and getting over again. If ratings go up and fans are happy then it would be ageist of anyone to say its wrong. Just because some don't like it doesn't mean its wrong.
You're absolutely right there's nothing wrong in bringing older wrestlers but the thing here is ratings are low as well as ticket sales even after bringing Edge in.
No i gotta disagree, it doesn’t look good at all to people on the outside to have old men in a ring, something could happen to them and even if it doesn’t a company taking that kind of risk is pretty disgusting to me.
Sidenote in my opinion Mercedes Moné shouldn't sign with AEW because if she has grievances with how WWE handles its womens Division she will have even more of it with AEW because women these days in WWE have a Royal Rumble, MITB, EC, Survivor Series, Wargames etc and also headline PLEs whereas in AEW Women don't headline PPVs. When even the WWE Saudi Arabia Shows have more women's matches than All In which is AEWs biggest show its a moral failing on TKs Part. He should look at this and think "i need to do better justice to the women of my company".
Mercedes should sign because what happens will be entertaining, it just won't be on television. It'll be CM Punk all over again, but for the women's division😂.

Christian Cage and Adam Copeland deserve to have a huge program on top. I don't get this obsession with age. They are two of the very best in the world in every way. You can complain about others that no longer add a lot but never these two.
Back in 2019 I was in Grand Rapids, NJPW/ROH show. And two of the guys there were Nagata and Kojima. I grew up watching them on VHS tapes, I played as them in videogames. Meeting them was as if an average American met a real life Spider Man. And then I saw them in the match. HOLY CRAP. Nagata delivers kicks to SANADA'S head without any set up, without any telegraphing and skipping back. He actually hits karate style SIDE kick rather then Superkick (which is telegraphed a mile away). Kojima - same way. Those two are ridiculously smooth in their execution of moves. Superb timing, not a missed step. I was screaming my head off for Nagata and Kojima, and I was so loud that SANADA turned his head, looked right at me (I was in 2nd row),, grinned and gave me Thumbs Up, even though I was cheering his opponents. What I am trying to say, that at their age, guys like Nagata, Kojima and Liger, are 10 times the wrestlers that 99% of US wrestlers half of their age. Look at Dragon Gate and you will see Massaki Mochuzuki, who is also pushing 50. And Ultimo Dragon is still wrestling and does SUPERB job, so does Great Sasuke. And yes. Sasuke is also better then 99% of US wrestlers half his age. While at it check out Bestia Del Ring (Rush's Dad). He is pushing 60, and you really, really do NOT want to piss him off:)
sure, veterans are great, but their purpose should be mentoring and elevating/putting over the next gen..they shouldn't have anywhere near as much tv time as they do in aew. they shouldn't be in the title scene and ric should've left the scene after his "retirement" match against hbk.
I think its okay for them to be in the title scene, but in the context of legitimizing younger champions. However we also need to understand that sports medicine and medicine in general is gonna be keeping wrestlers alive and in good shape longer and longer. Austin Theory will look like Billy Gun when hes Ric Flairs age. Not literally, but thats how rapid science will dampen the effects o aging in the next 30 years.
AEW's young talent aren't drawing rating so even if the old timers weren't there the ratings would be just about the same or worse. I give AEW another 4 to 5 yrs before its off the air or exclusive to youtube.

Jericho is still astounding, but I'd get rid of Jarrett. It's not that Jarrett is too old, because he's surprisingly still good. The problem is that he has no reason to be there, and he's holding back Jay Lethal. While at first I was sad about Sting's retirement, I realize now he can't do it soon enough. All he can do now is punch, jump on people, and do his token signature moves to end a match. I haven't watched too many of Sting's classic matches, but didn't he used to be a technician?
I thought AEW was suppose to be an alternative to the big Fed... not a WWE Lite lmao. Dynamite's Red & Blue graphics look like RAW & SmackDown did the Fusion Dance & because Today's AEW Dynamite. Their stage is full of LED screens lol. The matches are fine but no reason to continue watching after 5 minutes lol. They teased & rushed a major matchup between MJF & Kenny By Gawd Omega(😂) for 400K viewership on Saturday!? Nah. TK gotta hit the reset button REAL QUICK!
@@KruelAidMan Can't help that the graphics remind me of a RAW & SmackDown combined graphic lol. Splashing Paint, made them unique to where NXT Copied AEW lmao. Every match is the same.

Riddle would be a huge 🎯 to build for the future. Tag w/Orange Cassidy. 😳 Bro!!! Seth Rollins is 1 the top talents period. He could lead Aew into a new era if Punk pushes him out

Then also say they shouldn't get ospray because they already have indy darlings just like him all over the roster. Getting wwe guys is a good thing because they can bring what most indy guys cant.

A.E.W. stands for: Awful booking / Empty arenas / Wasteful airtime 🤔🤔 M.J.F. called Tony Khan a ''visionary'' on last Saturday's Collision. Just made me laugh . . . I don't know about you guys in the comments but I loved yesterday's NXT! I'm falling head over heels for the Black women on the show! I'm just speaking for myself here. I can't get enough watching them! 🤗🤗
@@alejandromelendez1609 Kelani Jordan stands out to me. 🤔🤔Jordan preforms well in the ring. Jordan looked a bit silly when facing her opponent whom she would lose to this past Tuesday. But that is what I find great about Jordan. Jordan is that kind of wrestler that viewers can take serious as an in-ring competitor and have this childish-charm about her on the other, respectively. I'm interested to see more of her and what the WWE will eventually have waiting for her down the road. That's my take on one of the many Black women wrestlers NXT has to offer. 🤗🤗 Unlike in AEW where Black performers need a White person to manage or represent them in some fashion or form like Will Hobbs, (former) Jade Cargill, Athena with that ''I'm just happy to be here getting noticed'' White girl, and much more. 🙄🙄
@@playstationgroup3413 brevity is the soul of wit. So you're saying white & black people shouldn't interact with each other? That's pretty segregationist.
@@KruelAidMan If that's what you want to call me for giving my opinion on how I see things in AEW regarding Black wrestlers, I have no objection. 🤔🤔I haven't yet seen a Black wrestler especially a Black male wrestler stand out on their own and make a name for themselves. It's more common nowadays for Whites to want to be associated with their Black counterparts. Just want to have a Black male or female wrestler to break from that and stand out on their own. For me personally, I don't mention Asian or Latin wrestlers (especially women wrestlers a lot) because to me they have nothing to offer in the way of promos, long-term in-ring ability, and much more (maybe Mia Kim: she did stand out to me and get my attention before the WWE forced her out years ago and she ended up in TNA or whatever it was - maybe I'm wrong but it has been years since I last watched her on television). If Asian and Latin (regarding women) wrestlers interest you, that's your thing and I'm cool with it. I'm not here to say otherwise. As for White wrestlers, yeah, if you're from the West Coast, it's more common to find a stuck up White girl who glorifies their Father like a living God and fooling themselves to be some sort of princess or whatever. To me, they are so common, seeing them even on NXT is A HUGE bore! So yeah, just a reminder for anybody whom made it this far reading this comment, it is NOT me who is doing the racial name calling by labelling me a ''segregationist'', it is @KruelAidMan and I'm cool with that. Today's generation is ALL ABOUT if you're NOT in agreeance with US and OUR views, you're a racist of some sort. A generation ago, the labels you guys use today NEVER existed. I NEVER encountered SUCH BS S***! 🙄🙄Whatever . . .
Here’s the problem, I’ve said it many, many times over.. no one cares for new talent in both companies. Aew has 100 of the same, small, interchangeable wrestlers.
Christian is an absolute GOAT. That guy shines like a diamond everywhere he goes, except WWE. Thats how you know that WWE is the problem in their relationship and not Christian. WWE always wants larger than life everything. Christian is too real for all that shit.
If I was in the wrestling business and was over 40 had huge runs through my 20s and 30s I'd be trying to help and grow the new talent and teach them , there's no way I'd be putting an older body through punishment.
Christian and House of Black are the only things that interest me right now about AEW. With the House of Black, its their dark supernatural gimmick which is intriguing and Julia Harts character too. She has the best entrance theme song. Its gothic, gloomy and mesmerizing.
Aew booking is unwatchable. Wish they would have better stories building for big fights at the big events. I used to be a fan tell the whole cmpunk drama has left me a bad taste in my mouth
Sammy Guevara needs a serious push. Jack Perry needs to figure out how to get right. Darby Allin is crazy good, but needs to bulk a little, so it will be believable for him to do anything less suicidal.
AEW is literally the company where their star employee is Evil Kenevil, and they're somehow confused about how their employees get hurt so often. They let Darby literally ride a tricycle off a fucking 80 foot ramp - which is fucking hilarious, but still - the injury roster in AEW is insane.
It tried that. Fans weren’t in the seats. So they are now doing their own type of attitude era. Christian cage is probably the best thing going in wrestling right now and not for wrestling.
Meanwhile, in reality: Hobbs just SQUASHED Jericho & MJF pinned Omega. Sting & Edge have spent their entire AEW careers attached to Darby, while Christian is mentoring Luchasaurus & Wayne. There's literally not a single talent in AEW over 40 that isn't affiliated with someone younger than basically anyone on _RAW_ or _Smackdown_ Oh, and sorry-not-sorry that WWE is once AGAIN failing to close a deal with Ospreay. There's more 25 year-olds in the Don Callis Family than _RAW_ & _Smackdown_ combined loooool
I went to the Nov 1st dynimite and there were so many seats. I don’t know what the camera picked up. Where I was there a whole row of seats. Then in camera view on the bigger side there was a lot as well
Aew are carrying old wrestler and retired wrestler aew are copying wcw wwf attitude era storyline and aew are no performance center all wrestler are many injury and career ending
Why can't you all support a new promotion ? Why are most of you are sceptics ? Enjoy and let all flourish in their own ways. Except women's division and injuries, AEW is doing just fine. Also remember, for many age is just a number.

While at first I was sad about Sting's retirement, I realize now he can't do it soon enough. All he can do now is punch, jump on people, and do his token signature moves to end a match. I haven't watched too many of Sting's classic matches, but didn't he used to be a technician?
I don't think i've ever seen a wrestling move on this show. All they do is pretty much slap and kick each other.
I thought AEW was suppose to be an alternative to the big Fed... not a WWE Lite lmao. Dynamite's Red & Blue graphics look like RAW & SmackDown did the Fusion Dance & because Today's AEW Dynamite. Their stage is full of LED screens lol. The matches are fine but no reason to continue watching after 5 minutes lol. They teased & rushed a major matchup between MJF & Kenny By Gawd Omega(😂) for 400K viewership on Saturday!? Nah. TK gotta hit the reset button REAL QUICK!
Pretty sure WWE didn't invent red & blue colour contrasts.
_"no reason to continue watching after 5 minutes lol."_
Sounds like brainrot.
says nobody at all we watch because we enjoy it your comment is dumb@@KruelAidMan
@@KruelAidMan Can't help that the graphics remind me of a RAW & SmackDown combined graphic lol. Splashing Paint, made them unique to where NXT Copied AEW lmao.
Every match is the same. Quick transitions to, no selling moves etc. Too many flips. Shit boring. You like boring shit, that's cool lol. I don't
@@Boy123Jim I don't like WWE. Not enough restholds?
Riddle would be a huge 🎯 to build for the future. Tag w/Orange Cassidy. 😳 Bro!!! Seth Rollins is 1 the top talents period. He could lead Aew into a new era if Punk pushes him out
Someone should tell Tony Khan that its not All Elderly Wrestling it's ALL ELITE WRESTLING.

Blast aew for getting wwe guys saying they are trying to be a mainstream indy style company. Then also say they shouldn't get ospray because they already have indy darlings just like him all over the roster.
Getting wwe guys is a good thing because they can bring what most indy guys cant. Entertainment. Christian is the best thing on aew. Just saying
Been waiting on u nigga 😂😂😂 you is my biggest inspiration when thinking about this low life promotion 😭😭😭😭😂
How often do you fixate on "lowlife" promotions?
Miz was right about how toxic Daniel Bryan is. If he wasn't vegan he wouldn't be injured everyday
Will ospreay? Undersized? 6foot plus and JACKED
A.E.W. stands for: Awful booking / Empty arenas / Wasteful airtime 🤔🤔 M.J.F. called Tony Khan a ''visionary'' on last Saturday's Collision. Just made me laugh . . .
I don't know about you guys in the comments but I loved yesterday's NXT! I'm falling head over heels for the Black women on the show! I'm just speaking for myself here. I can't get enough watching them! 🤗🤗
Me, too! Jakara is especially beautiful imo!
@@alejandromelendez1609 Kelani Jordan stands out to me. 🤔🤔Jordan preforms well in the ring. Jordan looked a bit silly when facing her opponent whom she would lose to this past Tuesday. But that is what I find great about Jordan. Jordan is that kind of wrestler that viewers can take serious as an in-ring competitor and have this childish-charm about her on the other, respectively. I'm interested to see more of her and what the WWE will eventually have waiting for her down the road. That's my take on one of the many Black women wrestlers NXT has to offer. 🤗🤗
Unlike in AEW where Black performers need a White person to manage or represent them in some fashion or form like Will Hobbs, (former) Jade Cargill, Athena with that ''I'm just happy to be here getting noticed'' White girl, and much more. 🙄🙄
@@playstationgroup3413 brevity is the soul of wit. So you're saying white & black people shouldn't interact with each other? That's pretty segregationist.
@@KruelAidMan If that's what you want to call me for giving my opinion on how I see things in AEW regarding Black wrestlers, I have no objection. 🤔🤔I haven't yet seen a Black wrestler especially a Black male wrestler stand out on their own and make a name for themselves. It's more common nowadays for Whites to want to be associated with their Black counterparts. Just want to have a Black male or female wrestler to break from that and stand out on their own. For me personally, I don't mention Asian or Latin wrestlers (especially women wrestlers a lot) because to me they have nothing to offer in the way of promos, long-term in-ring ability, and much more (maybe Mia Kim: she did stand out to me and get my attention before the WWE forced her out years ago and she ended up in TNA or whatever it was - maybe I'm wrong but it has been years since I last watched her on television). If Asian and Latin (regarding women) wrestlers interest you, that's your thing and I'm cool with it. I'm not here to say otherwise. As for White wrestlers, yeah, if you're from the West Coast, it's more common to find a stuck up White girl who glorifies their Father like a living God and fooling themselves to be some sort of princess or whatever. To me, they are so common, seeing them even on NXT is A HUGE bore! So yeah, just a reminder for anybody whom made it this far reading this comment, it is NOT me who is doing the racial name calling by labelling me a ''segregationist'', it is @KruelAidMan and I'm cool with that. Today's generation is ALL ABOUT if you're NOT in agreeance with US and OUR views, you're a racist of some sort. A generation ago, the labels you guys use today NEVER existed. I NEVER encountered SUCH BS S***! 🙄🙄Whatever . . .
Tony's vision is how large a mountain of not Pepsi is going up his nose in the next 10 minutes
Here’s the problem, I’ve said it many, many times over.. no one cares for new talent in both companies. Aew has 100 of the same, small, interchangeable wrestlers.
show your working
It's not AEWs match quality. It's there booking and marketing.
Congrats on calling the JeriShow reunion.
Aew is like a retirement home for ex wwe stars
Ageism is not cool
Christian is an absolute GOAT. That guy shines like a diamond everywhere he goes, except WWE. Thats how you know that WWE is the problem in their relationship and not Christian. WWE always wants larger than life everything. Christian is too real for all that shit.
Yeah it’s not like he became a goat in WWE and was successful star who achieved everything and WWE and Christian both love each other
If I was in the wrestling business and was over 40 had huge runs through my 20s and 30s I'd be trying to help and grow the new talent and teach them , there's no way I'd be putting an older body through punishment.
I’m starting to wonder maybe AEW is on the wrong network.
Aew really need to make their product more safe for wrestlers or we'll see these wrestlers entering with a crutch.
At least nobody got a retirement neck breaking from a suplex!
Once Sting retires, AEW will be an afterthought.
Christian and House of Black are the only things that interest me right now about AEW. With the House of Black, its their dark supernatural gimmick which is intriguing and Julia Harts character too. She has the best entrance theme song. Its gothic, gloomy and mesmerizing.
Vinnie Mac jr. screwed not only the young wrestlers but the fans as well as broken promises a shorter life to WCW 2.0
Will Ospreay isn’t undersized
All white folks look the same to him.
I think WWE's biggest problem is that the men they pay are very incompetent. They are very poor at smearing and they are stupid.
Aew booking is unwatchable. Wish they would have better stories building for big fights at the big events. I used to be a fan tell the whole cmpunk drama has left me a bad taste in my mouth
The booking style of AEW hasn't changed in 4 years. I think you're telling porkies.
Sammy Guevara needs a serious push.
Jack Perry needs to figure out how to get right.
Darby Allin is crazy good, but needs to bulk a little, so it will be believable for him to do anything less suicidal.
"Jeff Jarrett never met a promoter who didnt pay him" DUDE 😂😂😂😂
Have noticed this. Starting to get sick of it
Wild when you remember WWE had the same problem with legends for some years.
AEW is literally the company where their star employee is Evil Kenevil, and they're somehow confused about how their employees get hurt so often.
They let Darby literally ride a tricycle off a fucking 80 foot ramp - which is fucking hilarious, but still - the injury roster in AEW is insane.
It tried that. Fans weren’t in the seats. So they are now doing their own type of attitude era. Christian cage is probably the best thing going in wrestling right now and not for wrestling.
“Hey,hey boss would you treat me better.if i wasn’t ex wwe guy?
Meanwhile, in reality:
Hobbs just SQUASHED Jericho & MJF pinned Omega. Sting & Edge have spent their entire AEW careers attached to Darby, while Christian is mentoring Luchasaurus & Wayne. There's literally not a single talent in AEW over 40 that isn't affiliated with someone younger than basically anyone on _RAW_ or _Smackdown_
Oh, and sorry-not-sorry that WWE is once AGAIN failing to close a deal with Ospreay. There's more 25 year-olds in the Don Callis Family than _RAW_ & _Smackdown_ combined loooool
And Hobbs is still not getting a push.
@@saj8 he just squashed Jericho and joined the next top heel faction.
Wwe have a developmental brand who are showcasing their talents and who will become future stars.

when will Hulk Hogan debut in AEW?
That would be terrible decision by aew
Hulk Hogan Said AEW Is Waste. He & Eric Bischoff Couldn't Save TNA Minor Indy Promotion. There's Really Nothing They Can Do To Save AEW.
AEW Alll Elders Wrestling
Sting is a great performer but hes not in the spotlight dont hate on him
I’m sorrr but AEW absolutely sucks outside of Edge and Christian.
Dude i live in Virginia and you can totally do that
AEW is WASTING Edge vs Christian on a damn Dynamite! Those 2 could headline ANY AEW PPV & it would Totally Reek of Awesome!
AEW has a Indy wrestling problem and bad booking problem. Tony needs to hire the legends as agents and bookers, Not talent.

Because of AEW I am no longer a wrestling fan!

Why can't you all support a new promotion ? Why are most of you are sceptics ? Enjoy and let all flourish in their own ways. Except women's division and injuries, AEW is doing just fine. Also remember, for many age is just a number.
It's A Minor League Indy Promotion With Zero Homegrown Talent & Far Too Much Ex WWE Wrestlers & WCW Wrestlers. The Only Thing Of Them That's Big Is The Budget.
