If people are interested in say, RoH as an alternative, they can go watch some RoH before committing to watching a show oh yeah, forgot something that relates to this matter too: NXT. the model NXT used was absolute genius and it didn't take long for it to take out Dragon Gate, make Evolve into a glorified outsourced OVW, kill whatever of TNA (though NJPW did play a bigger role as the years went on), and completely cut ROH at the knees. i'm not sure what impact it had on Chikara or PWG so can't comment much there. part of it was yes, the WWE connection offering more opportunity but the other big deal was that it was billed - and actually is - HHH's baby. an active wrestler in the business with a budget who cared about people in the industry, who used the seeming bottomless pit of money WWE had to create a revolutionary training center for the wrestlers to improve, to work on their creativity and ability. that's what you had NXT be early on and its focus was on wrestling way more than WWE was. when you compare AEW to a company, it seems more like they're trying to be NXT's successor and are focused on that idea. TNA couldn't do that because they weren't thinking, acting, or being managed in that way. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. <cite>Wanglicious posted [p:922436896] in All-Purpos...
