Nah, I'm a fan too. I won't try to claim it's the greatest angle ever or anything but it has me wanting to see what happens next which nothing on WWE TV (that doesn't involve Roman) has done in a while.
I would hope Alexa follows Bray if he gets drafted. It would be so on the nose for WWE to drop their angle just as they were about to make their big reveal as Harley Qunn and Mister J.
NXT was a pretty good show, but man do they seem snakebit right now. First they had another covid outbreak, then Finn broke his jaw in two places, and tonight Ridge Holland's leg exploded. Oh yea, Teagan got another ACL injury.
It's just backdrop for the angle, and if the cost of getting Jericho to help build the company up as a heel champ is to have Dr. Luther in a match on Dynamite....well I'd be okay with that.
Well by all accounts getting rid of Harold Meij was a huge step in normalizing relations. He pissed off the Elite on their way out and him being the CEO was a major roadblock in the companies working together.
I'm sure the rest of the New Japan brass realizes working with AEW will help them build up their US presence and it would be stupid to let one person get in the way of that.
I would imagine they get tons of anti-union propaganda thrown at them non stop, all the usual "unions just take your money, the company can help with your workplace issues better than a union can" type stuff.
Wal-Mart had an entire team that would swoop in to deprogram everyone if they caught wind of any unionizing attempts, one can only tremble at what a Vince-run company does.
It just seems really unfair to hold it against modern WWE candidates that the company they work for discourages any single person being a draw as opposed to THE BRAND.
Like, there's never really been a time in history where the industry leader actively works toward making sure no one gets over enough to be irreplaceable.
How can you fairly judge anyone who's in that environment as opposed to someone from past eras where every company's #1 goal was to build the biggest stars.
