Do they ever wonder why AEW fans don’t complain very much and are by and large delighted with the shows every week? I mean I already know the answer but

AEW fans watch Pro Wrestling.

WWE fans watch Sports Entertainment.


Two totally different things.

My favorite recently is Seth Rollins going on about how fans can't handle long term story telling. Yeah okay man.

The basic concept of having millions of fans and refering to them as one monolith with shifting opinions, instead of different groups voicing different opinions, is one of the most poorly thought out commonly shared ideas.

There are also lots of loud online critics of AEW. Somehow the company fights the urge to take halfassed steps to make them happy and then go "You people just don't like anything!" when the audience isn't satisfied with a lovely product

lol yeah, AEW actually engages with fans instead of with people who hate the product. We don't think of it but half of these interactions are also WWE insisting people who hate their product online are actually fans who are coming back every week. Most evidence says that no, they're not coming back and they're no longer fans.

Corbin, Seth and Roman are all cut from the same cloth

I like the sharp turn from the company line of "we listen to our fans and put smiles on faces" to "this is why we don't listen to the fans".

Something Awful, so easy even a spaceman can do it!


I watch RAW only out of decades of habit (but even then, if I miss something then it is no big deal). I previously would watch NXT, Smackdown and I was subscribed to the network.

Now, this thread provides most of the info and honestly, Bayley and Sasha and Asian are the only things that I generally care about.

AEW is watched every night it is on and I am willing to put up almost $60 to watch the PPVs.

The only reason I have the Network is for old WCW stuff I've never watched. I'll watch the PPVs because of that but you could not get me to watch Raw or Smackdown.

I was watching "Poirot" on Amazon Prime, and in one ep there was a Asian character called "Lu Wing". You know how Amazon has "Amazon X-Ray", where it'll give you a list of the actors/characters in any given scene? Well, they instead of listing the character as "Lu Wing", they had ... "Chinaman".

It's great when they all start doing it in the same week because you can backwards engineer the exact bullet points they're all working from.

They live in the WWE Bubble already so they only see the similar-minded WWE fans talking trash about AEW, most likely.

The only consistent long-term story I know of going on is Sasha/Bayley, who they've been teasing breaking up for several years now. I don't think that's because they had any long-term master plan for it, they just kept changing the story that it's just escaped a payoff for multiple years now. This ain't no Mega Powers explode story, WWE is just lazy/Vince is just senile
