Dolph is crazy. He's been a WWE guy for 20 years. I don't believe he's wrestled anywhere else in his career besides WWE and OVW/FCW during Developmental.

Dolph Ziggler is the one that I'm most surprised about, and also the one I most hope AEW tries to pick up. AEW already has his brother under contract, and Dolph has even made a couple of cameo appearances in his brother's Being The Elite skits. The Nemeth brothers would be a great addition to the tag division.

Ali or Elias could be good pick-ups, but I feel like Elias (and Boogs too) would fit better in Impact. Emma will probably go back to Impact too.

Its called redundancies and they are going to try to make back the money they spent buying it by getting rid of things they don't find cost-effective.

Elias admitting he was Ezekiel the whole time only in his farewell tweet when leaving the company is pretty funny. I hope Kevin Owens brings it up on TV and says "See? I was right all along!" or at least tweets something about it.

They need the 90 days, but AEW in the new year should be fun for that first month when the all show up and then the promptly can't figure out what to do with all of them.

He fell victim to the worst possible thing you can be in WWE.

A really good wrestler with little to no personality.

Very few wrestlers break through in WWE when their gimmick is only "I wrestle really well".

Not necessarily because of him though.

As long as it had MVP and Lashley, the other two could've been anybody.

That doesn't mean much, because networks are paying more for the rights than they ever had.

It's been discussed ad-nauseum, ratings all over the place are lower than they were 20-25 years ago.

There are very few shows that have Raw's longevity, but you can compare it to shows like Survivor or The Simpsons that have been on as long, and they are also pulling in a fraction of the ratings they were pulling in 15-20 years ago.

Thats stupid because less people watch TV now than they did back then. Hell, even TNA had more viewers than AEW but AEW is in much much better shape than TNA ever was in.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

There was a show in the early 80s called Manimal about a guy who can turn into animals and solves crimes. It was canceled after one season and was a late night talk show punchline for reaching an astonishingly low Nielsen rating of 10.1.

The current highest rated scripted show in 2023 is NCIS, which is frequently below a 10.0.

So yeah, they're mostly irrelevant to compare now, not just with wrestling.
