Former IMPACT Wrestling Star and wife of WWE Hall of Famer RVD Katie Forbes recently appeared on "the XeniaDidThat" Podcast, where she talked about how she has heard that there is lack of storytelling in the WWE compared to AEW and how it seems like the WWE is at a changing point right now due to so many talent releases.
Katie Forbes said:
“I’ve heard that in AEW that they have longer storylines so that the fans can get more involved in it. WWE seems like it’s at a changing point right now the way they are doing so many layoffs. It’s hard for the fans to even get attached to a storyline or get attached to a character.” “Because their favorite is doing good and then getting squashed or they’re doing good and then getting released all of a sudden. They’re like, ‘damn, I can’t even get invested in these people,’ because the turnaround is so quick.”
Katie Forbes also talked about how it is really difficult for talents from today's generation to be a legend.
Katie Forbes said:
“Me and Rob were talking about that. It’s going to be hard for the generation now to become legends like him, have a Hall Of Fame career. People like Braun Strowman, didn’t he main event WrestleMania? He had a big push.” “Then getting released after that, then Rob is like, ‘wonder if that would qualify a Hall Of Fame career?’ Because Rob was on for so long but he didn’t have the push like that. Back in the day, we had legends because we would see the same people over and over. But now they push to the moon and gone.”
