when my grandkids ask me what AEW was like for the first 3 years

i mean there was some bad poo poo in the first 3 years, but i think now that WWE has its poo poo together (for better or worse) compared to how bad it was under Vince in 2019 and the fact we're entering year 5 of AEW means the criticism isn't as understanding of a new promotion

i do miss the early years though - the elite seem pretty checked out these days and i miss the hangman-kenny feud. i can't really figure out what's wrong with AEW because it's the same show, same wrestlers, same match quality, same booker, but something seems missing from the picture? stability or consistency maybe? ever since the CM Punk drama i've just lost a lot of care and investment for AEW :smith:

other then making other high profile wrestlers leave WWE for AEW (looking at Drew Galloway), this is such an L for AEW lol. like i'm not a fan of CM Punk and didn't want him in AEW but this whole situation looks so terrible for them in how they've handled everything - from brawl in to brawl out to him jumping ship lmao

why is the continental crown a championship belt that can be defended at any time? doesn't that defeat the entire point of the continental classic? why not make it an annual event with prestige behind it? why do we need an intercontinental title and a continental title? i don't get it - just keep it loving simple

trios division sucked from day 1. there was never enough dedicated teams to have a division.

every once in a while there would be a fun 6 man tag match and the fans thought that meant there needed to be a dedicated division and belts because they watched a bad indie promotion a decade ago instead of it just being an occasional and informal treat

the fans were wrong, let’s throw both trios championships (truly insane that there are two) in the bin where they belong

if we’re going to Restore the Feeling we need to get back to the same number of championships as there were when we Had the Feeling

World Championship

Women's

Tag Team

International

TNT

tony needs to figure out how to get crowds back because it's really really noticeable how small and quiet the crowds are each show and it kills the whole vibe for me. the best part about early AEW was how hot the weekly crowds were and how they'd get a pretty decent size that was at least moderately competitive with WWE. now each dynamite feels like an indie show or TNA compared to what it used to be :smith:

i think most things seem to be improving and building up interest again. it's just the crowd now that's the main issue for me. a wrestling show without a hot crowd is incredibly bland no matter how good the talent are

AEW has been good lately, but it's like a cozy, safe blanket. It needs to stop being bland and predictable and get a little of that old Nitro energy they had for awhile.

Why the hell Tony hasn't done a spring break type show on a college campus or on the beach or something when he grew up watching Nitro is beyond me.

It's just depressing at this point cause it feels like no matter what they do the ratings just get worse and worse and there's nowhere you can have any actual discussion about AEW cause it's just people screaming endlessly about how poo poo it is and how stupid you are for liking it and I dunno man maybe it should just loving die already so we can move on.

lol this kind of stuff is exactly why it doesnt matter if AEW takes shots at WWE because even when they put on one of the best matches of all time you get bad faith tweets like this. goal posts forever shift for fed stans
