AEW is no better or worse than it has been for the last 2 years. People are just giving it attention again because WWE started sucking.

WWE isn't just sucking OP, they're in a legitimate Red Zone where their storytelling is in jeopardy now that Seff is hurt, they have declining ticket sales and a MASSIVE decline in viewership, most of the main roster are either old or complete shitters and TKO has their balls in a vice grip, this is pure dumpster fire OP, WWE is literally dying

well a white, family man cowboy is a better babyface than a snivelling, cheating, villainous jew, that sounds better to me

you do realize people have been saying this exact thing since 2014 just replacing TKO with Vince and yet here we are in 2025 and they are making more money than ever. Idk man until the data shows other wise, they are doing fine. When they consistently dip under 7-8k in attendence and fall off the Netflix top 10 , then you can try to push this a little more

After Phil got fired I knew they were going to have a really rough patch. Luckily they spent that rough patch building up guys like Hangman, Ospreay, and Swerve so that makes the shows feel like a bigger deal again.

in 2008, and it never stopped

>AEW can never temporarily improve, it's just that WWE has got worse
That's just cope, anon.

As someone who's been critical of AEW since the first couple of years, it really is better than it's ever been and the only people who think otherwise are those who buy into the memes and groupthink around here instead of actually watching it for themselves.

Why do you think its better? I watch Dynamite almost every week and I don't see much change outside of who they're focusing on.

>>18237297
It's only very slightly better from 2019 when I was watching Jericho and Moxley shit it up all over the arena
The only reason it looks like momentum is how fucking awful everything else is compared to AEW

>>18237297
>it really is better than it's ever been
please stfu faggot, people like you is why everyone still hates AEW. AEW stopped being "good" since All In 2023. Right now it's alright and at least more watchable than WWE

>>18237353
Jericho and Eyepatch Mox was kino, you're just a hater.

>>18237360
nah it's always been good, keep coping E-drone

I admittedly don't watch every week. I tune in now and then and follow PPVs.
When the company started, it was built on promise. All they could get were a bunch of indy guys, many who were still green. They had a few WWE stars with some name recognition and that was it. Few people who could really go.
The company felt rudderless after the shine wore off. Just indy guys and former WWE stars.
Six years later (if we count 2019, pre-Dynamite), the company has one of the strongest rosters imaginable - the wrestlers there can really go and aren't jokes. The booking and writing isn't always great, but it delivers on what it was created to deliver - wrestling. It has history now, which makes it feel more established. Despite what people who don't watch at all say, it absolutely has stars and people who are worth tuning in to see - Hangman, Swerve, Ospreay (I know people hate him but they hate him for his reputation, not from actually watching what he does now). It has a solid women's roster, which just became a lot stronger now that Syuri is there.
It's not perfect. But wrestling really never is, even back in the "golden days" everyone loves to talk about. It was cringe to watch for a long time but I guess the best way to put it is that they're actually doing good stuff if what you tune in watch is actual wrestling.
And I'm speaking of someone who regularly bashed the product for a long time. If they keep it up I think there's some good years ahead of them - they're WCW in 1995 right now.

Dude, shut the fuck up and get the fuck out of here with that shit..
If a casual fan who's slowly been won over after *loudly* hating on the company is the reason people hate it, they were going to hate it anyway because they want to hate it.

>>18237155 (OP)
No one is "giving it attention"

>>18237353
I'd argue that it was "good" in 2019 because of the promise that was there. That promise disappeared as the years progressed. I found it unwatchable last year.
It's very watchable now. There is a lot of promise. Most people hate it because they've decided they hate it and don't give it an honest chance. They're really not too different than people who hate pro-wrestling in general - their complaints are exactly the same as people who don't watch wrestling and bash on all of it.

>>18237405
you are, right now

I dont see what you see based off of last night. The midcard and tag scene look awful. They have three over babyfaces swerve ospreay and hangman. They have one over heel faction the hurt syndicate. The women are mid. Not sure what there is to be hype about. Darby coming back? Woohoo...
