Real shit though...

AEW existing(and Vince getting canned) led to WWE getting better.

WWE getting better should lead to AEW getting better.

In theory

Yeah definitely the last thing Tony wanted while still negotiating
It's hard to ask for a raise wvwn when you were in the 600-700k raise.

Hopefully this is just an anomaly

nah I think WWE being better monopolizes people's wrestling watching and that's no negative towards WWE it's just that when the biggest company is also arguably the best, you dont have the desire to watch the rest

Again no negative to WWE for being at this point but I feel like there's only indie or Japan interest that gets big on the IWC when they've historically been bad

People want good wrestling, if they get it from the biggest company they don't have to go elsewhere

If this is the case then AEW is in for a rough patch cause WWE is firing on all cylinders right noe

AEW has better in-ring wrestling.

People also want good wrestling stories.

Sometimes in-ring just isn't enough
