Yeah, its funny, but I used to be such a hardcore fan, and I tried AEW and I just can't they're WWE is better but its still flat and there's nothing new or exciting. AEW is just over booked and the work rate outside of a few guys is awful.

It sounds like Vince is back to try to push a sale of the company. I think it would be hilarious if Vince did sell it and turned around and bought AEW pal.

AEW has its own problems, its TV viewership is heavily slid last week was about 846k. When you break it down, its getting clear that the fans are tuning out people like the Bucks etc when they show up. There are also reports that AEW is not doing great ticket sales for their live audiences.

Lets be honest, AEW is being booked by ego's for the entertainment of certain boys in the backstage ares.

WWE is not braking any walls or doing something new.

The style of wrestling for me in both is just not for me. Maybe I'm too old, but I loved the real looking and hard hitting wrestling from the era of Stampede Wrestling, ECW (And not the hardcore stuff, but when guys like Jericho and Benoit and other wrestlers took to the ring). Instead now it looks phony and soft (and this is both feds) and its all based on timing. There's no story telling or psychology. We have people diving out of the ring and their opponent just standing there for 5 minutes waiting.

The most concerning thing is that clearly the training system for wrestling is gone, I see a ton of sloppy and dangerous crap and injuries that don't need to happen.

I tend to think that if the CP brain trust got together we could book a better fed then AEW and WWE.
