Well now, let me tell ya a thing or two about this “homage” business in the world of wrestling. Now, folks like to talk about payin’ tribute, and that’s what homage means, if you ask me. It’s all about rememberin’ them old days, the ones that made things what they are today. I reckon that’s what WWE’s been doin’ lately, especially when they bring up the old ECW days. Oh, ECW… that was some wild stuff, wasn’t it? They didn’t hold back none when it came to bein’ extreme, and WWE sure remembered that on NXT. They got all extreme in that 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, where all them brutal fights used to happen. You couldn’t help but feel the history just from bein’ in the place.
Now, WWE ain’t just payin’ tribute to the old ECW, they’re bringin’ some new blood into it too, like that Liv Morgan gal. She’s got herself all the way to the top as the Women’s World Champion. She’s been challengin’ folks like Cardi B to a little fun, playful rivalry. Funny thing, that girl Liv. She’s got energy like a young’un, but still remembers the roots of what came before her. And let me tell ya, them WWE fans love that. They love a good challenge, and a good tribute to what came before.
And when it comes to homage, it’s not just the wrestlers themselves payin’ respect. It’s the whole atmosphere that gets passed down. Like how the New Day boys do their thing. Ain’t no shortage of tribute there either. They carry the torch of the past while addin’ their own flavor to it. The New Day, they’re somethin’ else, and folks can’t help but cheer for them. They got the energy, they got the charisma, and they ain’t forgettin’ where they came from. That’s how you make somethin’ last in this business.
Even some of the legends, like Goldberg, got their own tribute moments too. Now, Goldberg, he’s been around for a long time, and folks still talk about him, even if he ain’t wrestlin’ as much nowadays. He put on some of the best matches back in the day, and when he comes back, they make sure it’s a big deal. They honor him, and rightly so. But not all tributes are about just the big names. Sometimes, it’s about the little things, the moves, the moments, and the atmosphere that make fans remember where it all began.
But it ain’t just WWE, no sir. Folks from AEW, they’ve been doin’ their share of tributes too. They’ve even taken a page from ECW’s book, with their own share of extreme matches. I reckon you can’t just forget where all this came from. Whether it’s ECW, WCW, or even old-school WWE, they all had their part in buildin’ up this whole business. It’s like a big ol’ family, with everyone playin’ their part and passin’ the torch down the line.
And in the end, that’s what makes homage so important in this world of wrestling. It’s about rememberin’ the past while still movin’ forward. It’s about takin’ a good look back at all them legends and moments that shaped everything we see today. Whether it’s through a simple gesture or a big ol’ tribute match, it keeps the spirit alive. So, when you’re watchin’ your favorite WWE stars or AEW folks put on a good show, remember they ain’t just doin’ it for the fans. They’re doin’ it for the ones who paved the way before them. It’s all about respect, and that respect keeps this whole thing goin’ strong.
