Savage didn't want to semi-retire though. He wanted to keep wrestling and told Vince as much. He even proposed working with Shawn Michaels and really wanted to do that. But Vince saw him as an announcer only and its what led to Randy leaving for WCW. (In retrospect they should have let Savage work , he had a few good years left)
"The story so far: As usual, Ginger and I are engaged in our quest to find out what the hell is going on and save humanity from my nemesis, some bastard who is presumably responsible." - Sir Digby Chicken Caesar.
“ Well hell just froze over. Because CM Punk is back in the WWE.” - Jcogginsa.
“You can take the boy outta the mom’s basement, but you can’t take the mom’s basement outta the boy!” - LA Knight.
"Revel in What You Are." Bray Wyatt.
Probably true.
I think at the time Vince was trying to emphasize youth over the older guys but WCW proved that plenty of the older guys still had a lot left in the tank.
That said, in the long run everyone was probably better off with Savage leaving for WCW. He likely got paid more and had to work less, WCW got the star power it needed to better compete with the WWE, and Vince losing stars forced him to create new ones. So all around it was probably a win win.
Savage vs HBK would have been cool though.
I got Westlemania 3 on VHS as a stocking stuffer today. Watched a few matches in it. King Kong Bundy vs Hillbilly Jim in a mixed tag match with midgets. I found it entertaining and cant believe that was a thing back in the day. Cant wait to watch The Hulk vs Andre the Giant. I have never seen it as much as I have heard about it.

Strong vs Austin Theory was a Christmas gift.
AEW dark was good this week, JESUS CHRIST!!
Low ki vs Davey boy jr in MLW was really good too.
I got to watch the Low Ki/ Davey Boy match when I get home.
NXT was pretty good. It did suffer from long match syndrome. Every match doesn't need to go through the break
Taynara is a weird kind of hot for me
Blackheart vs BelAir was damn good.
I want to see Killian Rain and Jack Gallagher be a tag team for some reason.
Dominant D needs something. His matches are all over the place. He has these crazy facials that could make him the next Sid, but instead basing his matches off his natural gifts( facials and height), he wrestles like a guy, who is trying to show all he can do in the ring. I hope he finds a character that works for him.
Andrade beat Rey Mysterio for the US title at a house show at MSG.

Backing up what I heard from insiders,
Orton was in serious talks to jump ship to AEW but they lowballed him on their offer

In the least it sounds like AEW isn't going crazy by trying to sign WWE talent with ridiculous sums of money like WCW did back in the day (and to a lesser degree TnA). As rich as Khan is, I don't think he'd be able to justify a lockeroom filled with Jericho's from a business standpoint.
