I'll go easy but AEW has way too many examples of where they jab their audience in the ribs in an attempt to give them the warm fuzzies from their childhood...
Examples:
Bullet Club Reformation (Which is actually an nWo knockoff itself)
Cinematic Matches (Lucha Underground knockoff)
Dark Order (Ministry Of Darkness knockoff)
Exploding Barbed Wire Match (FMW knockoff)
Extreme Violence (ECW/FMW knockoff)
FTW Championship (Blatantly stolen from ECW)
Heel Tony (Heel Vince knockoff)
Matt Hardy (I believe this rendition is either an ROH or TNA knockoff. His prior rendition was a TNA knockoff)
QT Marshall's Faction (Blatantly stolen from either New Blood or Nexus)
Sting (Doing the same thing he's been doing for 25 years)
Team Taz (Also an ECW rip off)
The Pinnacle (Four Horsemen knockoff)
Heavy reliance on nostalgia exists also with Christian, Big Show, Chris Jericho and many others being heavily involved in stories using the exact same gimmicks and characters that they have had for decades...
I know everything in wrestling has been done before but does it have to be so blatant...?
