It seems some people just don’t want to let go of the talking point of who the number two wrestling promotion is behind WWE.
WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley was a recent guest on Pro Wrestling Culture. When asked if he believed TNA Wrestling could surpass AEW as the number two wrestling company in the United States, Dudley believes they can, but included an important caveat.
“Absolutely, I think they can be number two,” D-Von Dudley said. “I’m not knocking- understand one thing, I’m not knocking AEW. I said this on my YouTube channel. I said this, Tony Khan didn’t have somebody in his face telling him yes and no to things that aren’t good and yes to things that are good. You know, he doesn’t have it.
“He has a lot of yes people in his company that tells him what he wants to hear, and you can’t do that. Vince McMahon had a lot of yes people, but he had real people in his life to help him like Pat Patterson. You know, the late, great Pat Patterson. You know, if Pat didn’t like it, he would tell Vince. He had that type of relationship with him.
“There were other people like that too, but you had a lot of yes people. As far as I’m concerned, if Tony can get the help that he needs to help run that company, create better stories, or put more emphasis on the storylines, I think it’ll be a hard fight who would be number two, either TNA or AEW.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
