This was a case where the audience, the presentation and the guy themselves managed to all come together to make something pretty much perfect. And yeah, a lot of it is the anticipation that they’d fuck it up, or it wouldn’t be as good as it could have been. But that’s what made it perfect and made him look like a star.
It’s not because he used a fucking song by Downstait or just because he came up from the stage. It’s because of where he did and why. And there’s that smell of him getting to do it his way. It’s not because he was made a star in AEW, ROH, the NWA or anywhere else. Yes, it’s a cute little way of presenting yourself, and he’s fine-tuned it outside of WWE. But it’s getting to do it there that made this, in this context, feel special.
And that makes #1-aew-mark feel uncomfortable, because the guys who aren’t his team not only did something right, but something his team
can’t actually do.
The worst thing WWE can do to AEW is take away their crutch of “well, they might be bigger, but we’re better.” Because then they’ve got nothing. That’s why it felt like a “shots fired” moment. Because they did AEW better than AEW and that hurts deep inside when you’ve consumed so much of that Kool-Aid.
