Just imagine an honest to god large potential audience getting to see the Brisco Brothers vs. Steenerico in the 2000s?

Wrestling is infinitely better, in terms of product and availability, than it ever was even 10 years ago.

We genuinely came out of a long-term dark age dominated by WWE monopolization and TNA mismanagement.

if Jericho joined AEW because he was unhappy with some stuff in WWE - and some of the stuff in WWE he was happy with was his match at mania with Owens -- which happened because Owens lost the title to Goldberg...does that mean Goldberg helped create AEW?

I always find it hilarious tbh that everyone always thinks Vince saved wrestling when he quite honestly didn't. The nWo in WCW revived interest in wrestling, and then Cody Rhodes and company getting a Turner deal brought back a lot of lapsed fans to an alternative product, even if it isn't my cup of tea. Vince never did a fucking thing outside of being just smart enough to have Austin be the face of the company in 1998.

It started with AJ to WWE

You are actually right though, imagine if Impact and MLW both ended up getting deals on major networks too.

Then people realized anything was possible

So Vince McMahon helped create AEW
