John Cena was the face of WWE for over a decade and is a 16-time World Champion. There simply is not any Superstar like him in WWE.
Ross spoke to Wrestling Observer Radio, where he talked about how many talented wrestlers there are in AEW. Ross says he sees potential in many of the talents there, comparing them to the likes of John Cena.
“You know the way I tried to get talent during the Attitude Era, we succeeded. We made a lot of stars in that company at that time. We made millions of dollars and Hall of Fame level and all that good stuff.”
“It’s a process nonetheless. It can happen at any time. Lightening can strike with a Steve Austin or a Dwayne Johnson type guy. That’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing, or at least I thought until I signed John Cena and Brock Lesnar. So, it happened, but it’s rare.”
“We’ve got some kids who have a legitimate chance to be really, really, big time players. It’s just going to take a little bit of time, that’s all. It’s just going to take a little it of time as they learn and evolve, understand what they’re here to do. It’s just a matter of time.”
It will be interesting to see how AEW will develop their talents.
