When you are talking about legends in the world of professional wrestling, you have got to include Sting and Ric Flair in that list. Both of them rose to superstardom during their tenure with WCW. Sting and Flair battled inside the squared circle on many occasions. But Sting’s rivalry with Flair and the other members of ‘The Four Horsemen’ in 1990 had a special guest. The cyborg hero, RoboCop (a fictional character), appeared at WCW’s Capital Combat in 1990 to assist Sting against the Four Horsemen. Ric Flair and the other members of The Four Horsemen planned to ambush Sting. They attacked Sting and locked him up in a cage. But RoboCop rushed to the ringside to help Sting [https://www.essentiallysports.com/aew-news-sting-tears-the-house-down-with-impressive-in-ring-return-at-aew-double-or-nothing-darby-allin-ethan-page-scorpio-sky/] and ripped the cage door to set Sting free. The movie, RoboCop 2, released in 1990, and this incident tried to promote the movie in a promotional crossover. This incident will forever stay special in the world of professional wrestling. Did you enjoy watching the film ‘RoboCop 2’? Peter Weller played the role of the cyborg hero in RoboCop and RoboCop 2. And in RoboCop 3, Robert John Burke played the fictional character ‘RoboCop’.

<h2>AEW 2021: Latest News, AEW Rumors, Results</h2>
All Elite Wrestling has been phenomenal throughout 2020 and has proved itself time and time again. Perhaps the only main contender to WWE, AEW has routed NXT and has now crossed the 1 million viewership mark.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/7xaqmMyjmAsByHJpCrnlyMbRxjs=/1400x1050/filters:format(jpeg)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/19622967/EO7md32XUAApg5L.jpg" alt="I'm Embarrassed this Happens" data-noaft="1" />

Great content, excellent stipulations, and talented Superstars are what make AEW exciting. The different and raw vibe of wrestling in AEW makes it a very viable alternative to WWE wrestling.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h2>History</h2>
It’s hard to believe that the company is not even 2 years old, considering the fact that it has already beaten NXT viewership. AEW’s creation was announced on January 1, 2019, which turned a lot of eyes away from WWE.

The idea began when journalist Dave Meltzer posted on Twitter that ROH (Ring of Honor) had not managed to sell even 10,000 tickets for any wrestling show.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://gmsrp.cachefly.net/images/19/01/02/06fa27e58f9aa42ca3eb7ef0dfd176bd/960.jpg" alt="Two WWE legends are set to be involved in Cody Rhodes &amp; The Young Bucks' All Elite Wrestling | GiveMeSport" data-noaft="1" />

Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks (Nick Jackson and Matt Jackson), both responded by organizing a huge cross-promotion Wrestling event. Using their massive influence as the top stars of ROH, the three were able to gather a lot of Superstars.

The event, called All In, was a huge success. It registered the largest crowd attendance for a pay per view that wasn’t organized or affiliated to WWE. A whopping 11, 263 people attended All In, raising a lot of eyebrows.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/cody-young-bucks.jpg" alt="Cody Rhodes And The Young Bucks Mock WWE 24/7 Title | WrestlingWorld" data-noaft="1" />

Following this impact, Cody and the Young Bucks decided to pursue this new-found dream. It was announced on January 1, 2019, that All Elite Wrestling was going to enter the wrestling world.
<h3>Build-up</h3>
Billionaires Tony Khan and Shahid Khan backed this new promotion as the main investors. The Khans are also board members of the Jacksonville Jaguars and English football club Fulham FC.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i2-prod.mylondon.news/incoming/article14051044.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200/GettyImages-879842246.jpg" alt="Tony Khan reaffirms commitment to Fulham role after being named president of All Elite Wrestling | Football-Addict" data-noaft="1" />

Cody and the Young Bucks joined AEW as co-executive vice presidents, a day after the promotion’s arrival was announced. Cody’s wife Brandi Rhodes was announced as the company’s Chief Branding Officer.

Following this, AEW also announced the signing of many other Superstars. The team SoCal Uncensored consisting of Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, and Scorpio Sky, “Hangman” Adam Page, Joey Janela, Dr. Britt Baker, and former WWE Superstars Chris Jericho and Pac.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://i1.wp.com/fullpresscoverage.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/KennyOmega.jpg?fit=1200%2C800&amp;ssl=1" alt="Why Kenny Omega made the right choice going to AEW - Full Press Coverage" data-noaft="1" />

Later, popular Wrestler Kenny Omega also joined the promotion as the fourth co-executive vice president of the company. He has proved to be quite an attraction and is regarded as one of the best in the business.

AEW also made the key decision of partnering with Oriental Wrestling Entertainment (OWE) and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA), which gives them access to another pool of talents.
<h3>Current times</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://s3.superluchas.com/2020/07/Orange-Cassidy-y-Chris-Jericho-AEW.jpg" alt="Chris Jericho Reacts to his Iconic Debate with Orange Cassidy on AEW - EssentiallySports" data-noaft="1" />

The first-ever pay per view, ‘AEW Double or Nothing,’ had tickets out on February 7, 2019. Since then, the way has only been up for AEW. Signing with TNT, AEW now has their shows aired on the same platform as WCW 20 years ago. AEW Dynamite has been a huge problem for NXT for the past few months as the AEW vs WWE war continues.

In fact, AEW ratings have risen during the pandemic period. The company is making good use of the pandemic situation to get an edge over WWE. The promotion has been letting in a number of fans to watch the event live, which has also helped its episodes.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Jon-Moxley-4.jpg" alt="Jon Moxley blasts the fan Who ran at him during AEW All Out Entrance - EssentiallySports" data-noaft="1" />

It is the only promotion that is actively competing with WWE and has already overtaken NXT to reach 1 million viewers. AEW will only keep climbing, and seek to do what WCW couldn’t- topple WWE.
<h2>What is AEW?</h2>
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is an American Professional Wrestling Promotion founded in 2019. It’s President and CEO is Tony Khan. Shahid Khan, along with Tony Khan, is the lead investor in the promotion.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h2>How AEW is different from WWE?</h2>
Unlike WWE, AEW does not have PG restrictions. This means that it can show explicit content that involves bloody stunts such as thumbtacks.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/AEW05224-1200x675.jpg" alt="AEW Dynamite 7/22/20 Part 1 - Now That's What I Call Extreme Rules" data-noaft="1" />

WWE stopped airing such content after it attained the PG license post the Attitude Era. The insanity of Mick Foley and other “violent” acts would no longer air. AEW provides fans with a distinct similarity to those days.

The promotion freely uses thumbtacks and has little restriction in its matches. The reality of the entire show attracts a lot of wrestling fans. Unfortunately, WWE NXT cannot match this.

AEW has also made great use of former WWE Superstars. The promotion recruits Superstars who were never used to their potential in WWE and makes them stars, showcasing the true talent that WWE threw away.
<h2>AEW Roster</h2>
AEW has a star-studded roster that can make wrestling fans go crazy over the possible storylines.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

AEW World Champion Kenny Omega defeated the unbeatable Jon Moxley to regain the title in a thrilling encounter.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cultaholic.com/files/images/Kenny%20Omega%20AEW%20Dynamite%20AAA.jpg" alt="" width="901" height="507" data-iml="35018" />

AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin is another big name for the promotion, notching a crucial win for his career over Cody Rhodes to win the gold.

AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida is a major talent in the women’s division and is arguably one of the best in the business. Her wrestling style has been critically acclaimed.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/TS1-EP0YQNVxdvfA7k9Aa-evIP0=/404x0:2047x1095/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/67018596/EaHjZ4xXgAEi_r7.0.0.0.jpeg" alt="Wrestling's Best Women, #10: Hikaru Shida - Cageside Seats" data-noaft="1" />

The AEW Tag Team FTR have been hailed as the next Arn and Tully, and they are certainly living up to that potential. We are yet to see the best of them.

The constant stars of the show are Orange Cassidy and Chris Jericho who recently had one of the funniest feuds ever. It ended with Jericho falling in a vat filled with a mixture of orange juice and Champagne form a mimosa.

<img class="n3VNCb" src="https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/slides/photos/004/380/828/aa31261f94e2fffe857b2d948ba9fdf1_crop_exact.jpg?w=2975&amp;h=2048&amp;q=85" alt="AEW Revolution 2020 Results: Orange Cassidy Shines Brightest, More Hot Takes | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights" data-noaft="1" />

Other prominent names in the AEW roster include Cody, “Hangman” Adam Page, Brain Cage, Miro, Kip Sabian, MJF, Matt Hardy, and Sammy Guevara.

The women’s division also has upcoming talents such as Abadon, Anna Jay, and Brandi Rhodes.
