[@detroitfinest9758]

@@walkaz Sure she made her debut on the indie scene (like everyone else) but she made a name for herself in wwe. WWE made her a superstar. TNA signed her early but didnt have nothing for her. She signed to OVW then called up to raw the rest is history. Thank Trish Stratus for putting her over otherwise she would of been nothing that is a fact.Ill give you CM Punk, but even with him he became bigger and mainstream thanks to wwe. Most people who watched wwe back then didnt even know who Mickie James or CM Punk was. Kenny Omega is a superstar but again not a lot of people know who he is outside of WWE but i bet any money if he joined WWE in the last 5-10 years he would become a lot bigger.

Amen, watching liv morgan at the clash and it was so eh for a championship match

[@anxofernandez3344]

Well, for starters she's been wrestling for over 20 years. She was already there when TNA first started. On the other hand, Mandy Rose started learning in Tough Enough in 2015 and her first match on Raw was in 2017. Liv has maybe a year on Mandy but still still kinda new. Mickie James is a legend that has been wrestling for 20 years and the other two haven't even been doing this for 10 years and only now they're beginning to hit their stride. It's not a fair comparison at all.
