10 Things Wrestlers Are Banned Doing In WWE But Allowed In AEW 

"This company will be at it's best after Vince McMahon's death" -CM Punk

They're allowed to be happy in AEW. Lotta of the wwe roster seem like they have some problems with wwe

RU-vid is getting real comfortable with these non skippable double 5 second ads

So in short, AEW is basically what WWE was 22 years ago. [The Attitude Era]

Paige can’t even wrestle anymore so to make her stop streaming is especially greedy and unnecessary.

Basically, being a human being is not allowed in WWE.

WWE can't seem to figure out why their ratings are down. Here's an idea: give the fans what they want! This is why AEW is successful.

Superstar: waits hours to pitch storyline Vince: come in Superstar: I have a idea to turn John Cena heel Vince: get out

AEW treats their talent like human beings. WWE treats them like property.

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't give AEW a shot because "it was not WWE", but this video changed my mind. The AEW reminds me of the WWE that I loved and grew up with (which was back in the early 2000s).

I agree with majority of AEWs practices as in the freedom they give their wrestlers and although, you're bound to still be injured from this sport as its taxing on your body over time, my biggest would be putting a ban or a hold on deadly moves. Its not to put a limit on the wrestlers and creativity but a responsibility on their lives/health at least to protect them best without totally taking away freedom liberty.

It's pathetic that wwe labels their superstars as "independent contractors" while simultaneously stripping them of their independence.

WWE is really committed to their 12 year old audience. So committed, they have been turning away anyone over the age of 16 for 2 decades now. I'm gonna be curious to see how many 12 year olds will buy tickets, buy pay per view events, pay the cable bill

So basically everything wrong about WWE has something to do with Vince or PG rating

WWE classifies their wrestlers as 'independent contractors' yet they control every aspect of their professional life and parts of their personal life. It's so great that AEW is starting to become big because it finally gives wrestlers another option. Ever since WCW folded, WWE has been tightening the vice around their wrestlers. I hope AEW continues to grow and grow. Maybe then WWE will be forced to stop treating their workers like pack animals.

1:27 Perfect timing!

"Paige's final stream" LOL. I'm watching her stream right now.

I knew I saw someone doing the spike piledriver on AEW. I’m pretty sure that move is banned in WWE.

If I were a pro wrestler, I'd love to be working at AEW right now knowing that I would have little to no restrictions.

If you think you could lure me in this video because of that thumbnail, then you're absolutely right

I just love that the blood is back and It isn’t in black and white

If everyone gets this to 10k likes then wrestlelamia would probably do “10 things AEW is banned from doing but wwe aren’t” Just a sequel video “you’re welcome”

Jake Hager vs Bobby Lashley in MMA would be interesting

I just have a wierd feeling the WWE are gonna report this video but who cares ITS DAMN TRUTH😂😂

Its clear that everyone is happier in AEW, and it gives a better quality product. No one knows their own character as good as themselves. Imagine stone cold or the rock being scripted. It wouldn't work. I think the way WWE treat their staff is appalling in comparison to AEW

There is some amusing ideas regarding what wrestlers were able to do in the WWWF, WWF, WWE, and the now WW (notice how the initials keep getting shorter?). The McMahon family business has always been about running the competition out, and establishing dominance. Through much of the 1980s and up to now, the performers that were the draws could not perform under any other organization. There was a time that the WWF of the 80s and 90s did establish working relations with AWA and USWA. This was because the WWF wanted certain talent from those shows to perform in their ring. However, they weren't able to pull those talent in completely. They would pull that talent in, book them so much they rarely had time to perform in their home regions, and then the fans would tune in to the WWF to watch their favorite stars essentially killing that federation. Feds like the AWA and USWA also didn't get a "two way door" treatment from this. At first, there would be statements about where the performers came from, but as the weeks went on, less commentary was given on the federations they came from. Also, WWF signed talent didn't do any actual wrestling in those organizations. They would maybe at most do a promo, or run interference. I should also point out that the Ted Turner era of WCW (which was originally the name of the weekly NWA television show on TBS) adopted much of the same business ideologies that Vince McMahon used. Turner bought up the promotions run by Jim Crockett in the mid-south regions. This was rather lucrative since it came with the Four Horsemen, Steiner Bros., The Varsity Club, and a variety of other talented stars that the WWF overlooked, but were still top tier wrestlers. The WCW title...that beautiful World title belt that the WWF slapped their attitude era WW onto...was actually the NWA World Title. It was designed to replace the belt we see today...which was used in TNA, but ultimately stripped of because of terrible underhanded business practices. The AEW is a promotion that harkens back to the days of what many regionals were like, that still exist today. A promotion where the wrestlers have more control over their personal IP (their personal marketable brand, if you will), and given freedom to work in other promotions...as long as they sport some sort of "AEW" recognition in their appearances. The schedule that they implement is also incredibly beneficial. The talent doesn't need to kayfabe. They don't need to work house shows. They can perform elsewhere to build the reps if they need to. They get to make money off of their personal brand. And this last thing is the most important...can perform in a manner that is PPV level on a weekly basis without destroying their bodies because they have to wrestle 4 to 6 days a week all over the country. As long as the AEW maintains this business practice...they will be a force to be reckoned with, and may be the shot in the arm that the industry has been so desperately needing in the last 20 years or so.

"i call vince and cut a promo on the answering machine"

that cody promo at the start aged well, huh?

6:58 Styles sees that James doesn't have his head back and adjusts mid-move to land on his hands so he doesn't get hurt. Epic.

First saw wrestlelamia about 2 years ago in my recommended. Then I saw a few more videos. Now I’ve been subscribed for a year and a half now. Not a OG fan but at least it’s been a while.

I’m never disappointed by any videos that Wrestlelamia puts out. Great stuff!

This might unintentionally be the best advertisement for AEW

This was an amazing video & very informative. I haven’t watched wrestling in years because it seems to be a sad shell of itself. Knowing this now about AEW I may have to give them a try.

i think it just comes down to this; AEW trust the wrestlers themselves to be intelligent adults, to respect themselves, each other and the company, and that every one involved really wants to succeed and is willing to give their best.

Why am i watching this its 4 am and i have school tomorrow

Good promos, good wrestlers, entertainment, good announcing, titles that have value, an audience, talent, & no Vince McMahon!

Things the WWE cant' do but AEW can: Put on a good show.

I think that the biggest bs is the fact that WWE claim that no wrestlers are employed by them stating that the wrestlers are independent contractors yet they are banned from doing practically anything outside WWE.

Actually as far as swearing goes , WWE has had the talent do quite a bit since AEW started up. They have also brought back the Styles clash and curb stomp finishers.

Great video!!! Been waiting for someone to explain these differences.

AEW giving creative freedom to it's performers is a huge deal. Edit: Thank you to everyone that liked my comment. Never had that many like on one of my comments before.

AEWs presence is awesome. Wether I enjoy its content or not, it’s nice that there’s no longer a monopoly on wrestling entertainment held by Vince anymore.

And wrestlamia just keeps making my day better 😃

WrestleLamia: Cursing is banned Sasha Banks on the last two SmackDowns: Am I a joke to you?

I can see what Vince is thinking about the mma thing "if my tough guys lose a real fight, they will no longer be taken seriously. Especially if they are the champion of wwe who lost to some guy" So I can see it's Vince protecting his brand. And the image of his characters in wwe.

wwe is now becoming skynet

Never watched AEW even once but I have a ton of respect for the way they treat their talent. WWE seems like they are behind the times and AEW understands what today’s generation wants. Superstars having their own streaming channels is absolutely awesome, it allows fans to have an even stronger connection to their favorite performer/s.

WWE is on borrowed time. They have been going down hill for a very long time. It's just a matter of time until they fall.

I must say Miro and other wrestlers are better off without WWE

There is a big difference between PG and Publicly traded. The WWE has many different groups and others to serve. Don't be fooled by what wrestlers say on pod casts. At the end of the day you work to get paid.

10:15 This would all change because in 2022, Drew Gulak would do a Twitch stream and reveal that the ban was lifted under Triple H’s regime to produce television every week.

I'd love to see a list going vice-versa, if that's even possible

AEW took a look at everything WWE does wrong and said ...."let's not do that" I mean it's scary letting wrestlers run wild and I am sure it will bite them in the future but so far, letting veteran wrestlers keep rookies in check and building a community behind their company is a good start. You feel a part of a bigger group and not an individual fighting for a spotlight.

I stopped watching WWE years ago, around the Stone Cold "WHAT?" phase. Then when AEW came around i saw suggested videos and gave it a shot, now im fan of AEW. Wrestlelamia was a big part of it, Thank You.

One year later HHH and Stephanie in charge half the things are not true anymore

Paige needs to leave WWE and should protect her Twitch account for good

All friends wrestling

13:03 Luke Har....I mean Brodie Lee going hard on that promo 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wrestlelamia i always comment that you should have atlast 1m subs since 5 years. And now you have more than 1m subs. Thats good

The limited move set in wwe is understandable. Vince choses physic over skills. Imagine someone like Khali using the piledriver as his finisher... he would have shorten a lot of careers

i feel of all the guys in WWE, Kevin owens would THRIVE in AEW

Its a real shame that CM Punk quit when he did, if his final run happened now it would have been hilarious if he took the WWE title to AEW knowing all of the crap that was going on with him and the WWE.

@7:05 that was niiiiiice👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 def reminds me of the attitude era of wrestling! With great risk come great reward!!

AEW policy is a snowball effect that will eventually grow into something undeniable. Im happy to see/ hear about the wrestlers throughly completely enjoying what they do. It make a high quality product where (most) fans will enjoy the promotion.

Wwe needs to let the superstar’s to say what ever what they want

3:38 correction: JR even shoot buries the talent on air when he sees things he doesn't like

Lol remember when Miro left WWE to stream Twitch full time? AEW aside, he probably had a satisfied smile on his face when he saw their new Twitch policy. Miro: Yup 😏 made the right choice!

"I cut a promo on the answering machine" - Jericho lol

Now the Jon Moxley prison break promo before Double or Nothing makes alot more sense to me

So that's why the lucha Bros are in both triple A and aew

The Life of a Wrestler. AEW: You are your own "Athletic Artist", able to create and shape your gimmick however you want, and use multiple media outlets as promotion. WWE: You are under complete control, no important opinion ( about Anything, really ), and everything is directly spoon fed to you by Vince Mcmahon's assistant, whether the fans enjoy it or not. You jump, whenever Vince says to jump, exactly how he says to do it, or he embarrasses you on National TV. Jon Moxley really DID escape from Sports Entertainment Hell.

wow 😮 this list is now way out of date,vince is gone and HHH is in charge and things are waaaaaaayyy better now and now talent is leaving aew to go back to wwe and ufc and wwe are now partners wow a lot has changed in 3 years

it's 5:23 pm where I live

I love wwe but cmon,vince goes to far being too strict especially with the whole mma thing

Giving creative control to creators will always make the product better as we can see.

Thank u 4 making gr8 vids

I expect a lot of changes when Vince McMahon steps down and someone else takes over.

Every former wwe talent in AEW are clearly far happier being free in a company rather than shackled

The only reason the Styles Clash is banned is because Ellsworth doesn't know what the hell he's doing

Hey Wrestlelamia, what do you use to edit your videos ?

I'm interested in when the time comes for a mass exodus of wreztlers from WWE head to AEW. Black Wednesday was one thing but I have a feeling there's going to be a lot bigger names who aren't being released but are asking to be let go all in one clump.

ironic how its the opposite now

I was at that cody vs. Dustin match. There was so much blood and the match went on so long and Dustin just kept bleeding. The crowd was seriously starting to get worried. The canvas was so bloody that they ran out and replaced it with the canvas that was used earlier in the rumble, it was all balled up like used tissue i dont think they were expecting it to be that bad

I wouldn't mind blading going away though. Does it really add anything in, for example, going through a table and then having blood around vs just going through a table? They still did the stunts.

I'm getting ready to be in love with aew , just add cm punk and I'm totally in

when it comes to the move set i think the point goes to wwe,, i mean c'mon we've seen a lot of injuries happen because of certain moves (not only because the wrestlers themselves did it wrong). Injuries that can be very serious... I'm glad they've banned certain moves honestly

4:45 that's actually against industrial law and it's pretty universal

When I wanna watch AEW, but I don't have cable....

when he called dean ambrose Jon Moxley it gave me chills lol

*A* - Attitude *E* - Era *W* - Wrestling

That CM Punk spot at the beginning of this video sounded like a clip from Unnecessary Censorship.

13:02. Ouch. Good to see that AEW is more flexible & laid-back. I would say that Vince should take notes, but he'd rather keep at it.

aew is a far better place to work then the wwe.

Aew seems to be doing everything right. I love it.

5:05 and 5:13... I need to watch those complete scenes, where can I find them???

Great vid

“Other pro wrestling sports, such as mma”😂👍

This video really aged like milk on a hot summers day

This makes me wish I would have actually pursued a career as a professional wrestler. Because I do have the background as an Amateur

8:51 I like how it says 'former WWE World Heavyweight Champion' XD
