I guess by the same token, if any wrestling fan can't casually watch a Copeland/Christian I Quit match, in Toronto, on cable TV and have fun - no matter if they were in WWE or AEW - then that's a shame. They're missing good stuff.
I think the only criticism I'd have for both AEW and WWE at this point around nostalgia asks is that if you're going to do a nostalgia storyline then try not to have major titles involved.

Roman vs The Rock never really required the title to be involved (although they booked themselves into that corner and done a good job of turning that around)

Sting and Darby never needed the tag titles involved.

Copeland and Christian also probably didn't require the TNT Title to be involved (although this one is less of a criticism because I think Christian has helped that title overall).

Hogan - Rock never needed a title. Cena vs Rock Pt. 1 didn't need a title.

For Cena vs Rock pt 2 taking the title off Punk to do it for the belt the second time around was a bit silly. Just like Goldberg vs Brock didn't need the title at WM 33 and ruined a good Owens/Jericho storyline.
