22 Years Ends Tonight - Why Seth Rollins Had to Be At Berwyn | AAW Pro

 



Seth Rollins returns to AAW Pro Wrestling for the final show at the Berwyn Eagle's Club — closing the door on 22 years of independent wrestling history.


Fifteen years ago, Tyler Black walked out of this building for the last time as an indie wrestler. He left as Tyler Black. He came back as Seth Rollins — The Visionary, The Revolutionary — because something told him he had to be there.


This building shaped him. Before the WWE contract, before the world title reigns, before 'Burn It Down' — there was this place. And when he heard the doors were closing for good, one of the biggest stars in WWE today showed up. Not for a payday. Not for a promo. Just because some places deserve a proper goodbye."

The Berwyn Eagle's Club is gone. This moment isn't.

Guess who just came to your site and stole the ides to post this? Paul Jordan at PWInsider. You've had this up for two days and Paul just came and took the idea from this site, you're the only site that had this so you know he came here and took it. What do you think of other well known sites taking your ideas and content like that?

Not surprising at all as I've said numerous times that Paul Jordan comes to this site at least once a month (as does Ian Carey of the Wrestling Observer) and takes stuff we post. It's what has made us different than all the other sites that just rehash the same shit that Melzer's Observer and PWInsider put out. We don't need them to make this site successful.

Obvious our way and formula has been a success not only on how many people come on a daily basis but, writers and 'journalists' from other wrestling news sites come here and grab what we post because nobody but us, has posted it.

What does that say about us, and what does it say about them, if they have to come to us, to get content ideas from here so they can use it 'over there'?

It says we're doing pretty damn good if they still have to come to us for ideas. (smiles)

Ask them why they're as we put it and others have said it, not "in the know" like we are. Why do people send us stuff and not them? (shrugs)

It's obvious they don't have enough to they're coming to this site to check out what we have, that they don't have (which usually is a lot smiles).
