I agree, i'd rather they sign WWE's more underutilised guys though (i.e. Sami Zayn, Rusev, Cesaro, Almas), guys we know have everything you need to be legit main eventers but Vince and Dunn has some meaningless gripe with them. It would be more like signing a bunch of Christian Cage's for TNA rather than a bunch of elderly Ric Flair's or Hulk Hogan's, if that makes sense.
I disagree about those guys except for possibly Rusev... I think they all have big glaring flaws. Sami Zayn has one of
the worst looks on the roster and has durability issues and possibly attitude problems. He's good on the mic and good
in the ring and once he turned heel and joined Owens I thought he was used right outside of that corny program with
Lashley.
Cesaro doesn't have good mic skills or a great look but he's a great worker. The Bar is one of the best tag-teams in the
company but as a singles wrestler I wouldn't be interested in watching him as a main event guy.
Almas can barely speak English and also doesn't have a great look. How many guys in the business are actually good
in ring wrestlers but can't talk or look great seem to be a dime a dozen. Still him and Zelina have been a good package
and he's been in some high profile matches on Smackdown its just the roster is to big and he can't get regular TV time.
And one thing about Rusev is I really didn't like his promo this week it borderline sucked. I haven't seen him improve
his body or get better in the ring. Seems to have gotten complacent maybe because he can't get over with Vince.
AEW is almost guaranteed to be leaning more on the sports aspect than entertainment (and certainly less variety show than Vince likes it).
Zayn is a legit main eventer and one of the most talented guy on the roster. Fantastic wrestler and yes, he is hands on and demanding on his matches, but that isn't a bad thing. He should be well above the mid card given the guys on raw that get pushes (i mean he is on the same level as Rollins at least). Also that corny Lashley storyline shouldn't be understated, it killed both men involved.
Almas doesn't have a good look, have you seen the guy, its like one of his most defining features, sure he's small but again, won't be an issue in AEW, also he's a big star outside the WWE as La Sombra (he came in as one of the biggest names from Mexico and CMLL and was the leader of one of the most famous factions in Los Ingorbernables). Again, talking won't be an issue because i doubt they'd be stupid enough to not have him have a valet or manager.
Cesaro can't talk but he is super talented and strong in the ring, again, a good valet/manager fixes that immediately.
Everyone in WWE gets complacent and that's the issue, because of that geriatric, everyone gives up and just coasts and it shows in basically everyones work.
Their is rarely a case where people from NXT have better matches on the main roster unless your name is Seth Rollins, AJ Styles or Daniel Bryan. Other than those three, they're either not given the chance or simply just coast.
If those names left and went to AEW, I'd guarantee they'd show way more than at any time in WWE really since, apart from Rusev, they already have shown more (and Rusev has the tools that would make him successful, then again so did Ryback, but then again i don't think Rusev is nearly as dumb as Ryback).
