AEW also needs to be looking for guys like Rex Steiner, because that's good shit. Some of the AEW development talents have me raising an eyebrow.
This is a big thing. AEW has taken the WCW approach. Which isn’t bad, if you’ve got unlimited funds. But Eric at least got WCW bigger than the WWF. It all came crashing down and it hurt inside when it became a giant money pit. Shad Khan could actually wear that, but change-making star isn’t likely coming. They will get good talent that wants to say “Shit” on television, but the program itself does not lend itself to massive expansion.

AEW does have some promising young guys. But they also have the PowerPlant as a training facility. And while they do push some young guys (Jungle Boy, Darby Allin), there’s only so high they are going to go in front of that audience.

WWE has got Rex Steiner and Gable Steveson coming through. They’ve also got guys like Austin Theory. The future isn’t dark for them, provided they don’t run people off with terrible booking or their shaky cameras. But what’s the alternative? Terrible booking on another show that is only going to appeal to people who think in terms of booking and not just digesting the story presented.
