    Why isn't AEW reasonating with lapsed fans?

    I would imagine that a good portion of the AEW fanbase is made up of former WCW fans. The problem with that is that WCW hasn't run a show since 2001 and even at that point, their fanbase was in a rapid decline. All the nonsense in 2000 effectively killed the territory. I agree as far as the...

    Why isn't AEW reasonating with lapsed fans?

    Not sure how to start this off. Not sure if this is a widespread issue or just something amongst my friends but most of them are lapsed fans just like I am. Even though most of them haven't watched in 15+ years, it is not uncommon for me to call one of them and have an in depth discussion...
