My main problem with WWE is that instead of showcasing their current roster and elevating it, they decided to go get Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, pay him a shit ton of money to be a cheap nostalgia act.
There’s literally nothing “original” about that man, and I wouldn’t be so upset if they weren’t taking opportunities from other non-part-time wrestlers on their roster.
Like I regret saying this, but they have Logan Paul, practically new (a disrespectful asshole, but good in the ring). LA Knight. Grayson Waller. Austin Theory. Charlie Dempsey. Fucking Dom Mysterio. Like, you could literally have anyone on the WrestleMania card, yet you chose The Rock??
That was certainly a choice.
I’m all about when companies elevate and showcase their roster. And how people can actually be mad at certain wrestlers for jumping-ship is actually fucking insane. Wouldn’t you want them used to their potential instead of being fucking wasted?
WWE clearly isn’t doing it, so let companies like TNA, MLW, AEW, GCW, the fucking indy’s, etc do it.
And I’m not at all saying other companies are beyond perfect, but they’re doing better than the “E.” The company itself is the worst, but I will always stand by the wrestlers who choose to elevate themselves and others to be the best they can be.
This picture of Randy Savage feels so out of context. His hair isn't poofy, his eyes aren't bulging out of his head, and he's smiling. Just him standing backstage with his father "The Miser" Angelo Poffo.
