Think about the best angles in the last 10 - 15 years

The undertakers streak
CM Punk VS Cena
Zayne vs K.O
Daniel Bryan getting the shaft at WM
the Shield Breaks Up
Brock Lesnar is un-beatable
AJ styles' race to the top of the card
The New Day are underdogs that can't be stopped.


AEW has 1. can the company get off the ground.
Kind of silly to expect a company that's been around for under 5 years to have as many good angles over a 10-15 year timeframe. You should really only be comparing the past 5 years.

I'd put most of MJF's feuds prior to his face turn up with anything WWE has booked outside of the Bloodline in the last 5 years.

I also thought AEW figured out how to put on pandemic shows much better than WWE did.
