Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 3399147, member: 2458"] Back in the day, WWF made stars out of Austin, Foley, HHH...guys who were either midcarders or scrubs in WCW. WWE presented them as stars and let them shine in their promos. The stuff Austin was saying when he really got over and HHH was saying in the early DX days...they’d never give someone that kind of freedom now. AEW is now the ones doing that to a far lesser extent in being “stars” to the non wrestling fan - it’s a different era though - I’m talking about within the confines of wrestling. Jack Swagger and Cody Rhodes were midcarders at best in WWE, but now you’re seeing what they can really do. Dean Ambrose too. These guys are WAY more entertaining in AEW than they were in WWE - at least solo. The Shield’s initial run was awesome. [/QUOTE]
