It&#8217;s like, to me, we&#8217;re in a completely different kind of business. I mean what they&#8217;re doing is different from what we&#8217;re doing. It&#8217;s weird, because it&#8217;s hard to say you&#8217;re going to war with people that I call my friends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022&#8221;[W]hen I sit back and look at the grand picture, I&#8217;m going to war with these dudes that, if we were on the same show together, the same promotion&#8230; let&#8217;s pretend there were no borders. Let&#8217;s pretend there were no promotions. Let&#8217;s just pretend there&#8217;s just one big promotion. If these guys were in the same show as me, they&#8217;d be in the dark match. They&#8217;d be in the opening match of my main event match.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022&#8221;You wanna call that a war, you wanna call that competition? Go ahead. Maybe it&#8217;s fun for you to do. That&#8217;s cool. But we&#8217;re different planets. And you&#8217;re going to see that right away, when you see 10000+ arenas sold out. You&#8217;re going to see smiles on fans&#8217; faces. You&#8217;re going to see real stars. Not developmental talent, but real stars appearing on your television sets, every week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The following, for context, is a subjective roughly curated side-by-side list of the top 15 male wrestlers on each roster.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100.25806451612904%; height: 129px;\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<p>Kenny Omega<\/p>\n<p>Chris Jericho<\/p>\n<p>Cody<\/p>\n<p>Jon Moxley (f\/k\/a Dean Ambrose)<\/p>\n<p>Hangman Page<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Pac (f\/k\/a Neville)<\/p>\n<p>MJF<\/p>\n<p>Shawn Spears<\/p>\n<p>Matt Jackson<\/p>\n<p>Nick Jackson<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dustin Rhodes<\/p>\n<p>Pentagon Jr.<\/p>\n<p>Rey Fenix<\/p>\n<p>Darby Allin<\/p>\n<p>Joey Janella<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<p>Adam Cole<\/p>\n<p>Velveteen Dream<\/p>\n<p>Matt Riddle<\/p>\n<p>Johnny Gargano<\/p>\n<p>Tomasso Ciampa<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Kushida<\/p>\n<p>Kyle O&#8217;Reilly<\/p>\n<p>Bobby Fish<\/p>\n<p>Roderick Strong<\/p>\n<p>Keith Lee<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Dominic Dijakovic<\/p>\n<p>Killian Dane<\/p>\n<p>Cameron Grimes<\/p>\n<p>Pete Dunne<\/p>\n<p>Walter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/DijakovicWWE\/status\/1174760846708412421<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2303857953\"><div id=\"pwtor-4240425652\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>In the context of an era where you can walk up to someone and call them &#8220;fat, smelly, and ugly&#8221; and then when they get mad, laugh and say, &#8220;Dude, I was just trolling you, <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/09\/20\/omega-says-nxt-wrestlers-would-be-dark-match-guys-on-aew-show-side-by-side-comparison-of-current-rosters-you-decide\/\" title=\"Omega says NXT wrestlers would be dark match guys on AEW show, side-by-side comparison of current rosters, you decide\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44455,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,6163,2,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spotlightarticles","category-aew-news","category-prowrestlingnews","category-news_nxt"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2017\/07\/OmegaKennyTedLondon3x2_600.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86419"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":86421,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86419\/revisions\/86421"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
