The ELITE of the Indies
Yes, they are all over the wrestling business and news circuit. Yes, any and every wrestling fan is all in (pun intended) for the Young Bucks and largely the ELITE as well. Yet the question still remains if the love of fans for them purely as wrestlers is enough.
The current trajectory change we see in the face of Independent wrestling and in turn the WWE's own evolution, somewhere its onus falls on the wrestlers. They are, after all, the endgame product any company wishes to sell audiences on.
Wrestlers like the Bucks, Kenny Omega and Cody have taken this value and turned it into a system for the man, by the man. No matter how many times we as individuals praise them for it, it just isn't enough.
The big bad corporate world is an intimidating place, even in wrestling and the ELITE makes it just a bit better. They do so for unfortunate souls who put their bodies on the line by presenting them the lucrative deal the independent scene can become if they're willing to hustle. Thank god they've changed wrestling, thank god they've saved wrestling.
