Ziggler: I'm on hiatus from WWE, thoughts on AEW, Drew McIntyre, not being pushed
(multimedia) - 26th January 2019
Professional
wrestler Nick Nemeth does an interesting interview with entertainment and sports
journalist and broadcaster, Chris Van Vliet. Draw your own conclusions, but it
looks and sounds like Nemeth may be on the way to becoming the next hottest free
agent, next to New Japan's Kenny Omega. Former multi-time champion Chris Jericho
recently signed with AEW (All Elite Wrestling) and this has appeared to boost
the confidence numerous wrestlers / sports entertainers in exploring wrestling
careers outside of the bounds of WWE, New Japan Pro Wrestling and Impact Wrestling.
The American and Australian independent wrestling scenes are very healthy at the
moment and this is a hotly discussed topic amoung wrestlers, insiders, sports
commentators and fans. Stay tuned.
WWE
remains the world's # 1 professional wrestling company in terms of revenues, brand
recognition and just about every other category.
WWE's
Triple has had gone on record with "[AEW is] clearly something that we'll
keep an eye on and clearly something that - they're out there doing their business,"
Triple H said. "But we'll do what's right for our business - what's right
for WWE. What we feel is right for our fans, the WWE Universe, our fan base, everybody
in general, and what's right for us. They're all business decisions and we'll
continue to monitor everything. And we say it all the time but it's the truth,
it's not just a competitor like that, we compete against everything.
"And
I know you've heard it said that," Triple H continued, "'In the business
world today, when you're a content provider, you compete against everything, including
sleep, including the internet and everything else.' Everybody has 1000 pulls on
their time, on a daily basis. So you want to keep your eye on everything and try
to be as relevant as possible at all times, on every front. We continue to monitor
that like we monitor everything, and we'll continue to do what's best for business
- for the WWE." (Wrestling INC)
