Of course Dave and Bryan seen WCW 2000. If AEW did the same thing, they’d talk about how brilliant it is AEW found a young prospect who is going to be a huge star and they’ve protected him by putting him under a mask so he can get more experience and work with top guys without damaging his long-term credibility. If Matt Hardy introduced him, it would be hilarious, and if Jericho introduced him, it would be an amazing callback to the Jerichoholic Ninja. That’s their bias towards AEW and against WWE, paid or not. Alvarez said recently that NXT was straight out of dying WCW with Sam Shaw “disappearing.” Has he ever said that about Matt Hardy teleporting? They’ve become unbearable on the subject.
Bruce will probably burn out. The weird hope is that he’s such a Vince sycophant and has earned enough “Brucie gets it” points, that if he sits down Vince and really stresses that this thing needs to go back to two hours and they can make up the content difference to USA other ways, then maybe Vince will take it onboard? I mean, everyone there probably already knows.
I think Heyman was very deliberate. Vince chose two guys that had run everything before. With the XFL likely to take Vince away (at the time), it made sense to put two guys that had run shows before there, as opposed to just former creative heads or whatever. But Heyman and Vince were inevitably going to clash over vision.
