"Dustin Rhodes vs Cody Rhodes was an absolute bloody war that brought many to tears during the match’s emotional climax. It turns out that WWE was definitely paying attention to what AEW was able to do at Double Or Nothing as well.
During a Q&A at Starrcast on the day after AEW Double Or Nothing, Dustin Rhodes was asked what he thinks WWE thinks of AEW Double Or Nothing. He had quite a revealing response because Rhodes knows that quite a few people watched the broadcast.
Although Dustin Rhodes is unsure whether WWE’s top brass watched All Elite Wrestling’s first event, there were plenty of people who texted him and expressed relief that there is an option outside the WWE prison.
“I think the internal reaction was ‘wow, there’s a life outside of prison.’ I would say about thirty of the WWE including employees texted me last night and telling me ‘ oh my god awesome, incredible I love the show’ so they watched the show.”
“Everybody watched it and the people who say they don’t watch it might not watch it — most of them are full of sh*t if you’re a wrestling fan and I don’t know about the boss. I don’t know if Hunter or Vince or Stephanie watched the stuff, but some of the office personnel did and it makes me feel good that something else was in the spotlight that shows there is life out of WWE that is shining and it was magical last night.”
AEW Double Or Nothing offered a lot of different aspects to represent the product that they are striving to bring to a global stage. It seems like the early reviews are pretty incredible so far. At least people in WWE seemed to enjoy the new hope that AEW is seemingly bringing to the table."
It's over, E-drones. WWE's going to get raided into fucking oblivion. And one can only imagine all the people who were going to sign with WWE, having some serious second thoughts about it.
Of course it's over. Vince will never change. It's too prideful since he bought WCW. Vince makes himself shit sandwiches and pretends to enjoy the taste, and all those yes men he surrounds himself with will never disagree with anything he says to save their jobs. Vince will go down until the bitter end too. He'll go out in the middle of Raw, in front of a crowd of dozens, and blow his head off with a shotgun.

Holy shit, there's pretty much no one but Dust I would buy this from. I know Cody is his brother and all but he was at WWE for decades. He was a loyal soldier and a respected vet, I seriously doubt he'd make this up.
Wasn't this guy sucking Vince's penis hardcore on twitter not that long ago? I'm not sure what to think about this.
Brandon Myers
it was so Vince would let him out of his contract without a 90 day no compete clause. he worked him.
Jacob Howard
lmao, fucking based
Easton Ramirez
sure he had like 7 wwe stints, but that just means he jumped ship as many times, often bitterly. i really don't disbelieve dustin, but i just don't think it's accurate to paint him as a "loyal soldier"
Caleb Myers
> "U-U-Uh, yeah, totally, heh, 200 people from WWE texted me! Oh yeah, for sure, they're really in trouble! What? No, you can't see the texts. Just take my word for it.
Angel Gray
>wow, there’s a life outside of prison.
seems a bit ungrateful coming from him
Blake Allen
99 percent of wrestlers are disloyal carnies
Mason Moore
Nothing is real except for the money and miles

Justin Hill
there's nothing to thank Vince for. He's an asshole who deserves as much shit from everyone as Gaytch does.
>in before the money What kind of grade A retard would thank his boss for the money? It's a fucking job, your boss has the fucking obligation to pay you, he's not doing you a favor.
Nicholas Baker
>showing texts so those persons get in trouble are you shoot retarded or am I being worked?
Ethan Smith
The man was 100% down to get fucking breast implants for the gimmick. If there was ever a /paidhisdues/ guy in that locker room, it was Dustin
Owen Richardson
What are the chances we see Generico and Steen jump ship? The Bucks paid tribute to them last night to get their attention obviously. Thank God Excalibur brought attention to it. I'm sure that JR was too busy trying to figure out which Lucha bro was Rey Mysterio.
Nolan Smith
Generico's smart and I believe his contract expires real soon. Owens just signed a 5-year deal. He's done.
Like, how fucking braindead do you need to be to sign a 5-year deal now that the paradigms are shifting?
Owen Thompson
>Generico That gimmick wouldn't survive in today's hyper-active cancel culture, especially with how preachy and sensitive AEW's product is to minorities .
Jack Russell
>the paradigms are shifting
go back
Jace Adams
>I'm sure that JR was too busy trying to figure out which Lucha bro was Rey Mysterio. Holy fucking BASED
Let's get something straight - it was Goldust's idea to have Vince pay for the surgery AND give him a million dollars for going through with it
Joshua Bell
Based Goldie has been around Vince for years to know how to work him
Jack Johnson
Owens is like Styles. Loves WWE, loves the PG product, loves that he can watch the show with his kids. He's never leaving. Sorry user.
Sami might go at some point. I remember hearing him say the whole Bobby debacle almost killed his love for wrestling. It might just take another of those Vince trademark retarded segments to make him want to leave for good.
Jacob Cruz
If what he's saying is right and AEW is such hot shit, wouldn't those people want to be fired? Why not give some evidence?
Wyatt Barnes
vince has no yesmen other than Dunn. Writing team changes almost every month because no person on earth wants to re-write a show about half-naked men touching each other based of the whims of a 70-year old who has always been behind the times.
Nathan Gomez
There's literally a white dude named Luchasaurus in the company bro
Dustin's entire prime was just him getting fucked over by Vince constantly
Austin Collins
Yeah, Generico's definitely leaving. Can't wait for Generico in AEW kino.
Alexander Bennett
Sure, why not also offer them some of those million dollar contracts. After all being hot shit apparently means they're fucking charity work and will hire everyone as long as they get themselves fired and wish really hard to be on the company. Maybe even I can drag my fat ass and ask for a top spot if it's that easy to get hired.
Use your brain for once. It's not hard.
Benjamin Taylor
> wanting to be fired
Ill just stop you right there.
Tyler Edwards
>getting someone else fired without their permission >not guaranteeing yourself stability after being fired from a job because some asshole third party got you fired >thinking some start-up company is going to just throw money at you without negotiating first because you lost your last job You better say "worked" or you're shoot retarded
Robert Cook
So. No evidence. Gotcha.
Alexander Hughes
Generico's first feud confirmed.
Justin Jenkins
based vince is gonna make everyone hand over their phones to find out who hes going to bury on tv this week
Blake Butler
KO is set for life dude. He's been spending all his time off as a producer. He'll have a job for life at either company. The other thing is that as good as he can be, with his body type he'll never be the top guy for either WWE or AEW
Sebastian Phillips
I would have said never for Owens. Vince absolutely loves him and gives him what he wants and serious pushes. All of that was true of Dean though.
James Morgan
NO NO NO PLEASE DON'T DO THIS WITHOUT THE WWE UNIVERSE WHAT AM I
Jordan Collins
Got worked hard by dean as well
Cameron Campbell
>Owens is like Styles. Loves WWE, loves the PG product, loves that he can watch the show with his kids Yet I'm sure they watched WWF when they were kids, so I don't know why they feel like their kids need to be coddled
