Don't Suck
"You see all these churches?" the wise man observed, on a Memphis to Little Rock road trip a dozen years ago, "They were all started by the same guy... Some guy who thought every other church sucked." And so we have All Elite Wrestling. The promotion that began because a wrestling scion, two dreamers from the California desert, and the son of a car bumper magnate thought that every other promotion sucked. WWE, suck? Who can count the ways? From Vince's whims to PG to scripted promos, everybody has a complaint. New Japan? Too afraid, I'm afraid. ROH? Too thrifty. No vision. Too fat, dumb, and happy with their lot in life. PWG? What could have been... Maybe if Danny were born with Cody's ambition, it would have happened. There is honor in being the template; just not much money. And does Impact still exist...? Impact, it could be argued, is AEW's greatest inspiration. It had so much potential... if only it didn't suck.
