Love or hate AEW, you cant deny the exposure & platform they gave stars like Cody Rhodes, Jade Cargill, & Penta. AEW elevated them to the point WWE saw gold. WWE fans now enjoy their greatness, & you've got AEW to thank for that. Competition breeds excellence - ThreadSky

Here’s another thing, CM Punk wouldn’t have returned to the ring without AEW.

booksandbodyslams.bsky.social•44 days ago

I don’t understand why people don’t get that competition is good and having multiple promotions is just good for the wrestling business.

wolf2point0.bsky.social•44 days ago

No one hates AEW for existing. We’re just disappointed by what it turned into to. What it could’ve been.

realbigkris.bsky.social•43 days ago

There are a lot of people who hate AEW. And a lot of people who hate AEW fans.

Who's we, champ?

middaughsome.bsky.social•43 days ago

We are? It's pretty awesome

timtorok.bsky.social•43 days ago

Lmao who's "we're". Most aew fans love aew. The only ppl who seem to not like aew, are fans who think aew should try to be more like wwe. The rest of us love the longer matches, edgier content and less spoonfed storyline with obvious outcomes. Aew brought my love back for wrestling

I guess it’s hard for me to lament over how much better things could have been, when even 2024, probably AEW’s worst year creatively, was much better than countless years of other promotions.

I’ve seen too much wrestling to whine over a year that gave us the “King of the Bums” arc,

johnnymadballs.bsky.social•42 days ago

Sting’s last match, the further development of Timeless Toni Storm, Ospreay vs Takeshita/Danielson/Swerve/MJF/Fletcher, the creation of the casino gauntlet match, Hangman vs Swerve reaching a boiling point, Danielson vs McGuinness, Mercedes vs Stat.

Could have been better, still pretty great.

Then why was there a strong hate base when they were two months old? Double or Nothing 2019 went on sale, instant sell out and people had to downplay it. People absolutely hate AEW just for existing

defnotabot81.bsky.social•43 days ago

E fans want all or nothing, they know no other product or ways of storytelling.

breadrising.bsky.social•44 days ago

True, they should bring back Joey Janella and The Nightmare Collective.

Just really relive the bangers of Chavo Guerrero and Paul White.

Speak for yourself. I’ll be wildly entertained by dynamite.

santiramos10.bsky.social•43 days ago

“We” ? Yeah got it

snowwitch.bsky.social•43 days ago

I'm genuinely curious what you're disappointed with in AEW?

themcg.bsky.social•44 days ago

...........yaaaa. you're definitely wrong about this one.

thegraps.bsky.social•43 days ago

"We"

Who is we

mrjay82.bsky.social•44 days ago

What do you feel it's turned into? I watched AEW from the beginning and stopped watching all through MJFs title reign (not becoZ of MJF) went back to it after watching All In London last year. Since then I have been very meh about the product

brentsobleski.bsky.social•44 days ago

Can someone explain to me what's so wrong with AEW?

No one is saying it's perfect. But people keep saying it's not the same. OK...why?

I've watched from the start. I enjoy it today. In-ring product remains top notch. Huge moments littered throughout 2024. Some good storytelling, too.

kryslannister.bsky.social•43 days ago

They probably never watched

timtorok.bsky.social•43 days ago

They'd have to pretend joey Janela vs Marko stunt matches are better than the matches we get now. The codyverse was putting out better stories than death riders, toni/mariah, ospreay/fletcher, ect. It's all bad faith nonsense

petuniablume.bsky.social•43 days ago

It felt special in the beginning but this kind of feeling fades over time inevitably. People tend to long for the good old times I guess.

mrjay82.bsky.social•44 days ago

Cody was going back to WWE before AEW was formed. I honestly think if he had gone he wouldn't have his world title. He elevated himself on the indies and again with AEW on mainstream TV. The Fed saw what he can do on mainstream and thought yup he can carry the brand. He can carry any brand

mrterrychaos.bsky.social•44 days ago

Too true. I imagine Stephanie Vaquer's Forbidden Door match with Mercedes Mone contributed to her acquisition, too.

mrterrychaos.bsky.social•44 days ago

Oh also Ethan Page.

billythiex.bsky.social•43 days ago

That's great, but if I don't watch wwe then people that I like going there does nothing for me. If it makes them happy then I'm happy for them.
