I'm not sure what is worse, the current WWE product or my friend acting like AEW is going to be the attitude era reincarnated...
Then going on 20 minute diatribes about how PG wrestling and using women for more than sexual content is why the WWE sucks. |

20 years since Owen fell. I was at the Over the Edge. I honestly thought it could have been part of an angle until I got home. Sad day.

Aew is going to be good just on the fact that they have less corny stuff. But wwe is the gold standard.

Don't hate on the Cavalcade of Cocksmen. AEW will have corny stuff because corny stuff can be very entertaining. It will also have its fair share of serious stuff. That's how you build a great product overall. There needs to be some comedy mixed in.

AEW have kind of put themselves into this sort of box where you have a contingent that is hoping they do not go the route of TNA of bigging themselves up by pot shotting the E but also the contingent that wants them to bring down the big bad in some renegade act and they have seemingly been targeting that second batch as their audience which is the audience that wants them to specifically go to war with the E believing they can overtake them.
It is an interesting split to watch develop. |

Oh I don't care really, but lets not say stuff that just isn't true. If they can make titles mean something again and have storylines that aren't trash, it'll already be a better product.

My biggest concern is them becoming another TNA that just likes to take potshots at the E, that shit gets old fast.

I don't think AEW has to go a TNA route at all. Will they? I'm not sure, but they don't have any reason to have a little brother syndrome like Ipmact had.
They've got a major TV deal, which is more than tna ever could say. |

Spike was a pretty well thought of network at a time.......
I just hope they find some kind of good middle ground with all this. There was a time in wrestling where just having guys that could work meant something because most of the national dudes were not like that. Now everyone can work, the WWE has a roster of workhorses and we see how that is going... Unless they can legit figure out characters none of it matters. |

WWE couldn't wait to leave SpikeTV and being on that network sunk their ratings pretty bad. Not "we just turned Stone Cold heel" bad, but bad.
With all that said, the biggest issue they had was they let Bischoff and Hogan do all the legwork. Totally ignoring all the damage they had done less than a decade ago. Oh and Vince ****ing Russo. |

They seem very cognizant of what happened with TNA. TNA had a ton of failings but the biggest failing was the latching onto any and all of the castoffs from WWE or the old guys from WCW. They pushed those guys ahead of much more talented guys like Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, etc. It seems like AEW is going out of their way to avoid signing too many WWE guys. I think they will be pretty selective. There are too many other talented guys in the Indies and Japan/Mexico.

The fact that no one cares enough about this to pirate it is bad news to me. I fully expected a stream up. No one is even talking about it. Yikes.
