Thank you, Toronto!
Two people I don’t care about vs two of the very best on USA having a match.

The biggest thing AEW is going to struggle with is lack of notoriety of their wrestlers to the common fan, let alone someone who follows wrestling closely.

They should have strapped a rocket to Britt Baker, Tannille, or anyone else who is known to the regular fan. I’d be giving AEW a shot right now.

Candice And Shayna aren’t really known to a regular fan either. Regular fans only know of them because NXT has been on longer.

I really think wwe tells people to do bad dives. Candice’s dives were always highlights in the indies.

i think its more that the ring is higher off the ground and they cant dive into the crowd like they could on the indies, so they're getting a more downward nosedive angle on impact as opposed to just darting themselves straight across

But like Moxley Was in NJPW for one match and his dives improved immediately, and NJPW rings tend to be around the same height as wwe I believe.

NXT looks like the cool underdog, AEW show has been hella corny, and their women’s division can’t hold a candle to NXt/WWE

I want both to succeed but I’m taping nxt and watching aew live, next week ill probably do the opposite

They are going for that look, obviously look =\= reality, we know wwe isn’t the underdog but it’s obvious they want to be cool and underground in appearance.

Jeez the defensiveness towards anything positive about WWE is a lot, I’m not trying to get anyone real mad over wrestling.

Part of it but I also had a working knowledge of both. Shayna because she’s a “pioneer” of WMMA and got KOed by Bethe :laugh: and Candace because she’s had some sort of presence since when she was pretending to be Canadian.

I don’t think I’m a “regular” fan where I try to follow outside WWE as time allows. I know the basics of who Nyla Rose is and had no clue who she was wrestling tonight.

This is where AEW is going to struggle.

I would have watched AEW if NXT wasn’t head to head. But, there is only so much time in a week to watch wrestling. The established product always wins.

But if you watch the new product you will get to know the talent you don’t know yet.

Yeah of course they want to be cool and underground in appearance and there’s nothing more embarrassing than the billion dollar company trying to be cool and underground.

I get that but I have a product I already like live on one channel, and I devote enough time to raw, smackdown, and ppvs, let alone squeezing in NXT on weekends. Time commitment is a huge thing.
