So he was at a certain level while at NXT. He was being taught to entertain a crowd of 500 and being trashed in the process (according to him) only to get fired - essentially being told that he wasn't good enough to entertain a crowd of 500 or go beyond that (since you said he went to th main roster). 2 years after, he became a world champ entertaining people from 5000 to 80000. Yeah, he proved them wrong. Do you think if they could reverse that decision they would have fired him? It's like asking Eric Bischoff if he would have fired Austin if he knew how great he would turn out. Bottom line, WWE was wrong for firing him and Swerve proved them wrong, despite if he puts syringes in his mouth.
Did he learn from them? Of course. Did they give him some exposure? Sure. But they miscalculated him and he proved to them that he was worth more than they envisaged.

Yes he does choreography too ( I don't know-how much) that does not make it right or my point less true.

Leave Obafemi, talk about others who are already on the main roster like Melo, Gargano, Kross; how many are as made as Swerve? WWE doesn't always get it right and this time they failed. Most of their current male stars were not trained by them.
They failed with swerve same way AEW failed with miro, ethan page, malakai black, keith Lee and Cody.
Not everyone will succeed in a particular system.

The way you're talking one would think they booked swerve like a Kenny omega title reign.
The man got laid down two weeks he won the championship by old man Christian cage, a kid and a guy in a dinosaur mask.
Tony had to put him over will Ospreay to quiet the talk of his abysmal championship booking.
The 80k show you're bragging about did he headline it? Didn't he lose a tag match there to sting and Darby. No be same ppv event chuck Taylor and pocket man wrestled ;thus by your logic they're better than WWE bcoz they featured in an 80k event.

The Wembley show he headlined in 2024 was in a losing effort to Daniel Bryan thus ending his token championship reigngrin You can put Daniel Bryan and a mop and it will headline any main event.

Swerve lost to recently released stars from WWE. Bobby lashley and Ricochet. That tells me he isn't such a big star as you profess him to be.

Melo, gargano and Kross may not be booked strongly as swerve but they're still featured on bigger weekly shows. How many casual viewers besides smarks know swerve? All that talent and yet Jey Uso still dey pull more merch and more popularity than am grin

so you're not going to criticize WWE's hardcore matches because they are not dangerous? Nothing that happens in wrestling is without danger, it's just that some are stupid while others aren't. Hardcore matches are stupid because it's not a showcase of a real sport competition. So if you're going to criticize AEW for doing hardcore matches because they dangerous and not because they are dumb, I say let them be. It's their bodies not yours. No one in WWE gets all these injuries by doing something soft.
Don't get it twisted, I'm not a regular here, so permit me to 'miss' some things.
Asking me what stadiums Swerve has wrestled in doesn't seem like a genuine question. You really don't expect an answer from me to that.
WWE not giving chair shots to the head is laughable. Do away with the freaking chairs if you're not going to use them. Simple; stop doing hardcore matches if they are too hardcore for your pg product. I remember War Games match featuring Bloodline, and all we could remember the match for being hardcore with were torn silk shirts.😂
Viral moment isn't going to cut it. Criticize what needs to be. I haven't followed AEW in months but I heard of Mox's spike - that was pretty viral if you ask me.
And please don't lose credibility by saying Jade is coachable. Babe hasn't improved since she Ieft AEW, only botches less. She's still a bad wrestler. Performance Center no be Miracle Center.
I haven't seen one who claims to be a critic but doesn't even know the history of what he's criticising.
The ECW influence led to WWE having hardcore matches in late 90s and early 2000s in WWE.
By ruthless aggression era they were all but a rarity.
The hardcore title was discontinued in 2002.
What's the point of me criticising what hasn't been done in years at this point?
The company went PG post 2008.

You expect me to be angry and critic over what has stopped happening?

I listed all the dangerous spots AEW has had in the LAST SIX YEARS you couldn't bring a point to counter this except it's their body and should be left alone. Are they more hardcore than RVD who has seen what these unprotected chair shots and hardcore spots does to the human body over time? CTE, Pill addictions and suicide.

You said Swerve has right to brag about the big stadium show he entertained in.
I countered by stating the biggest match he had prior to WWE was in a hardcore match on Lucha underground.
You couldn't bring a fact to counter this.
You only rebutted by stating it isn't a genuine question. Counter with facts my friend

You're not a regular here isn't a valid excuse to conveniently avoid seeing the criticisms I've thrown at WWE severally.

You don't even know chairshots to the head are unsafe hence why they hit em in the back.
AEW has proven to be unsafe severally time after time. You can hit a chairshot to the back but there's no preparing the human body for taking a spiked weapon or continuing a match after someone's head hits concrete floor.

Mr 'Wrestling Critic' that doesn't even know what he's talking about. BRONSON REED and TONGA LOA are still injured after the last war games match. The match you claimed only had torn silk shirts.

Is the Moxley Spike moment viral when it didn't even beat NXT in that week's rating? Who would remember it after that week.
You can't compare that with Brock Bulldozer spot at wrestlemania unless you want to lie to yourself.
There's no point comparing WWE social numbers to that of AEW who are holding events in smaller arenas now. AEW isn't competing with WWE, they are competing with its developmental show. NXT.
There's nothing you can tell me about AEW that I don't know. I've been watching it since 2019 till date.

You're saying Jade botches less compared to when she was in AEW but is still a bad wrestler.
You just dey contradict yourself grin

Doing something with less mistakes than before is actually progress.
Yes, she may not be able to have long technical matches now but as good ol cornette says.
'Accentuate the strength, hide the weaknesses'.
Goldberg and Ultimate Warrior weren't ring generals either but they were successful at wrestling.
After all, Gable Stevenson, WRESTLING GOLD MEDALIST at the 2020 Olympics was fired by the WWE because he wasn't improving.
If Jade is as bad as you say then she would have been fired like Gable stevenson.

What's your point?
He wants 'real sports feel' of men touching each other in black trunks with no stories and a ranking system in order indulge his cravings but won't settle for UFC, Boxing, kickboxing, Olympic Wrestling.
If it was so easy as that then why hasn't the major wrestling companies done it till now abi he knows more than Vince, Eric Bischoff, Jim Cornette, Dixie Carter, Tony Khan all put together.

Person wey Brian cage and the patriarchy been dey kick e ass left and right during his championship reign, until Will Ospreay decided to be magnanimous grin.
After that he was defeated by Daniel Bryan.
That's what i call a token championship reign.....

Yes I believe he's more regrettable, because in WWE's case they wanted nothing to do with him anymore. I'm sure if Swerve went there, they'd take him with open arms(they took Cody and even bothered hiring Cargill). And the reason why is because he was a cancer. I wouldn't have believed if he didn't come out and voiced that he'd changed.
No one is too good to take advice, but if you're talking trash to him about entertaining 500 people when he's proved he can entertain stadiums, I think that gives him a bragging right. And you guys only criticize AEW when it's convenient; WWE popularized hardcore matches. They had buried alive and inferno matches. Few years back Brock brought a bull dozer to the ring (it did nothing for the match), I'm sure you guys praised it.
I never said WWE didn't bring bigger stars, plus they didn't fire those stars did they?
You want to talk about professionalism, lol, Jade Cargill. You're also talking like WWE wrestlers don't wait to catch their opponents in the air.
Swerve said what? Don't change topic.
You want to talk hardcore matches and don't mention ECW or Japan death matches then you you don't know what you're saying.
Hardcore matches were prominent in WWE in late 90s and early 2000s when there wasn't enough awareness about CTE and it's effects.

Buried alive matches are gimmicked as hell that no one gets hurt.
The last proper inferno match on WWE was 2006.
The kane vs Bray one in 2013 was PG cookie cutter.
Whereas Cody burnt his back doing one in 2021 on AEW.

Even RVD that is an ECW original was criticising the spike spots in AEW citing it as unsafe.
Most of the guys from THAT ECW era ended up with CTE that led to suicides, pill addiction and other health issues.

I've critqued WWE severally from their booking of the womens division to their theme music, TKO Endeavour aggressive money grabbing antics.
Or did you miss when I called the CM Punk Vs Seth Cage match a finisher fest?
You also missed when I said they'd have brought Swerve back if he wasn't signed to AEW.

What stadiums did Swerve entertain that gives him a bragging right?
His most famous match prior to WWE was in Lucha Underground vs AR Fox in extreme rules match where his back was bleeding from being thrown on real glass. Cry me a River grin.

I was watching Swerve (Killshot) in lucha underground and young bucks (generation me) on TNA way way back.

Since WWE moved to PG era post 2008, their extreme rules matches have been tame to the point they were called out for being too safe.
Everyone mentions the Fiend Rollins hell in a cell match that ended in DQ.

Meanwhile in just 6 years of AEW we've seen :
Jack perry being set ablaze by flamethrower.
Moxley doing the deathjitsu bleeding and spike fetish matches.
Hangman drinking Swerves blood.
Young bucks thumptack superkick to an upside down hanging Darby Allin.
Nick gage using a pizza cutter to slice jericho.
Hangman whacking a chair to Swerves head.
Matt Hardy head landing on concrete then proceeding to finish the match.
Mariah May vs Toni storm hardcore extravaganza.

Do WWE wrestlers give chairshots to head like swerve and hangman?

Do they stab each other with syringes in the mouth or go Dracula drinking each others blood?

AEW allowed a former wrestler, Nigel Mcguiness to still wrestle knowing fully well he has hepatitis B which is contractable.

Brock bringing a bulldozer to the ring like it or not was a viral moment.
How many of these AEW dangerfest are viral?
Are they making money doing dumbshit like this for the sickos?
See people wey no fit outdraw NXT grin with all their bloodbank matches

I'd rather have a good looking athlete who's coachable like jade than an indy idiot like Orange cassidy or a ventriloquist puppeteer like Harley Cameron.

Tell me when he's telling lies. Swerve is the singular most regrettable firing WWE ever did. We should throw tribalism in the gutters in 2025.
Big Lies.
Is he more regrettable than the firing of wrestler you quoted, CM Punk in 2014 grin.
Didn't WWE also hire Daniel Bryan again after the tie choking incident in 2011?
There's no denying that Swerve is talented, he would have been brought back with the rest of HitRow during the changing of the guard when vince left,if he wasn't signed to AEW.
My gripes is him and the rest of the indy dumbos like Hangman thinking they're too good to take advice.
Wrestling in the indies for years is different from wrestling in WWE, which is and still is the global leader no matter how many millions Richie Rich Khan spends.
Kevin Owens, Finn Balor, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, Samoa Joe, Adam Cole were all bigger signings than him when they were brought down to NXT to be retrained and coached by seasoned vets.
So who the Bleep is swerve?
If he was coached properly, he wouldn't have to hit a move where his opponent casually sits up and waits for the stomp. grin

Wasn't he the guy bragging that Fox network would air an AEW show once smackdown left them. We've been waiting for long. Where is the show? There's video proof of him bragging about it?
Tell me when I'm telling lies grin

Paige was both NXT women's champion and Diva's champion at the same time before Mandy Rose. Matter of fact, Mandy Rose was never a double champ, she won a title unification match. Unless we want to say that Bron Breakker was also a double champ when he beat Tyler Bate to unify the NXT championship and the NXT UK championship.
Totally forgot about Paige

That split screen interview between Tiffany and Charlotte made it Soo obvious how Charlotte outclasses Tiffany on the mic and with charisma. It was too obvious one was a seasoned veteran and the other one was a green new comer. Charlotte was miles above her.
Charlotte did her no favors, you ought to let the face shine in such promo segments not talk over em. It was awkward for tiffany as she's not used to being a babyface character. She'll learn and grow.
