Wrexham got 8000 plus yesterday for a national league game. Also been announced as the first non league team to get in Fifa. You can't get a home football top and it's tough to get a ticket. The owners really know how to play the social media game. Just need to translate it to results on the pitch.
I don't watch and just follow online for the last few years. If I was someone like Adam Cole I would be a bit reluctant to jump if you end up being the lowest profile person of 4 or 5 others all joining at a similar time. AEW is no different to any wrestling organisation in they can't focus on everyone.
If I was him I would use his position to try and get the best deal out of WWE or wait untill his move may have more impact.
I think he has a lot to prove before he meets the "great player" criteria. There was all this hype about him (predominantly media driven) during the Euros, but as I said I don't think the hype matches the performance.
