5 Ways All Elite Wrestling looks like WCW, and 5 ways they are unique

1.Different From World Championship Wrestling: Youth driven.

Both Adam Page and PAC are both seasoned and still fairly young.

One of the things that ultimately led to the downfall of World Championship Wrestling was the promotion's over-reliance on established talent.

While it is always good to have veteran performers, and wrestling legends on your roster, having them exclusively be the star attractions and never building or pushing younger talent means the company has no room to grow.

This is what happened in WCW, with stars like Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Hall and Nash, and Bret Hart being given the lion's share of television time while younger talent in their prime languished. The legends were expensive, worked limited schedules, and ultimately were more out for themselves than building an enduring legacy for WCW.

All Elite Wrestling is taking a different approach, however. While they have signed veteran performer Chris Jericho, who is over forty, they are seeking to push wrestling talent that is in its prime. The fact that Adam Page--remember when he was a rookie wiping down the ropes on ROH?--and PAC took center stage at the first AEW press conference that the new promotion has an eye on the future.
