New WWE signee's

Hi guys,

With news tonight 8and over the last few days, on new WWE signee's, it's got me thinking about how I feel about it and whether it's a good or bad thing. 

It's been announced on Twitter that Ricochet, War Machine and Candice LeRae have all signed contracts with WWE a. I'm know all these stars, Ricochet from his amazing matches with Will Ospreay, War Machine and their amazing NJPW and WhatCulture tag matches matches and LaRae's intergender matches and her show with Joey Ryan. It means I've seen them performing at the best at a load of different wrestling promotions.

It used to be the main goal for every wrestler to be signed with WWE and I guess it may even be the dream of these 4 superstars. However, I feel like nowadays, WWE is not the only way to get to the top of industry especially with the large amount of promotions all over the world. It's like some of the best wrestlers in the world aren't even in WWE and love what they do and the flexibility they get like Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, Will Ospreay.

I don't want to seem hypocritical because I am a massive WWE fan and its what got me into wrestling in the first place and I do love watching it. My issue is that, now I've watched so many other matches from other promotions, I can see what they let their performers do and the freedom they have within matches. Take Candice LeRae, her intergender matches are world renowned and now she's going to a company where they've only really recently reintroduced those kind of matches again. Even then, we don't see male v female within the matches themselves as the same gender has to be in the ring at the same time.

I've also noticed that the quality of matches are consistently better in other places. As much as WWE puts on some epic matches sometimes, there are other times where they just annoy me. Either certain stars aren't given enough time or the whole storyline bugs me so much the match just doesn't connect with me. I've not really had that within other promotions I watch like Defiant, Progress, NJPW, FutureShock, ICW and a lot more. Yet, I can see why this happens because WWE is much more global and has to appeal to a lot more people from different backgrounds.

This is why, as much as I loved these guys on the indy's, I can't wait to see what they do in WWE because it is such a grand platform. My main hope is that neither of these stars go down the common WWE root of being ruined by gimmicks, bookings etc and just don't get utilised by the company in the right way. I want to see these stars be pushed not put by the wayside like so many stars like Hideo Itami, Bayley, Alicia Fox etc. Let's just hope WWE know that they've signed some right good talent and they actually get given opportunities.

Until Next Time,

Bye!
