Back in January of 2019 All Elite Wrestling was officially announced, and since then the wrestling landscape has changed dramatically. Fans have seen some big names jump ship from WWE to AEW, and recently CM Punk, Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson joined the company.
Mick Foley has quite the history with WWE, and the Hall of Famer recently posted a video to his Facebook page where he explained why he thinks WWE is creating their own problems when it comes to AEW.
“Hello, this is the hardcore legend Mick Foley. I’d like to title this video ‘WWE, We’ve Got a Problem’ because I think you do, and that problem is that WWE is no longer the place for talent to aspire to. Part of it is because AEW is doing a great job of attracting great talent, proven talent, building other talent, creating storylines, but part of it is a problem of your own making. I think younger talent sees the way that developmental characters are cut or left by the wayside, or in the case of Karrion Kross, greatly watered down and even made a joke of when they debut on the main roster. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. If I was an aspiring talent now, big league talent with a major decision to make, I’m not sure that I would trust WWE creative to do the right thing with my career. You guys did wonders with me back in the day. That was a different time, different place. If it was today, I’m not sure I would trust the powers to be with my career in their hands. And until that changes, WWE, you’ve got a problem.”
