Cedric Alexander had a strong message for wrestling fans who engage in tribalism, admitting that the behavior makes him question how much they actually love the industry. “It makes me question whether you really love wrestling,” Alexander said, explaining that he enjoys wrestling in all its forms and follows multiple promotions rather than limiting himself to one company.
Alexander emphasized that he never wants to see a promotion fail, regardless of personal preference. “I would never say one company shouldn’t exist because of how I feel about it,” he said. He added, “Everyone deserves to work. Everyone deserves to find a place that makes them feel comfortable and works for them,” while stressing that wrestlers need different places to develop and succeed.
The former WWE star specifically voiced support for several major promotions, saying, “I don’t want TNA to go anywhere. I don’t want WWE to go anywhere. I don’t want AEW, AAA, or MLW to go anywhere because people need places to work and somewhere they can spread their wings.” He added that when fans claim a company is terrible, he sees it differently, noting, “Wrestling is thriving as a whole.”
Alexander believes the industry is currently in one of its strongest periods in years, thanks to the number of companies and the amount of content available. “If you love wrestling, you’ll watch everything,” he said, while adding that there is “no reason to hate another person because they like what you don’t.” Looking at the bigger picture, Alexander concluded, “To me, that’s a wrestling boom,” adding, “I don’t think it’s been this good in a long time.”
