Mick Foley says WWE is no longer the place talent aspire to be
“WWE, we’ve got a problem. Because I think you do. And the 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 the younger talent sees the way that the developmental characters are cut or left by the wayside or in the case of Karrion Kross, greatly watered down or even made a joke of when they debut on the main roster. 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 but that was a different time, different place but if it was today, I’m not sure I would trust the powers that be with my career in their hands, and until that changes, WWE – you’ve got a problem.”
