If you like elite wrestling, great storytelling (from a wrestling standard), and the product not treating you like an imbecile then you will probably like it. It’s only been around for about a year.

Does anyone listen to Jim Cornette old-man-yells-at-cloud routine hating on AEW?

Also, I guess I gotta get caught up on Impact.

@LKJ Are you watching current wrestling?

Very little. I was really into NWA Powerrr before it shut down due to the pandemic, actually shelled out money for their first PPV, but unfortunately they haven’t been producing new shows, and talent like Thunder Rosa seems to be transitioning toward AEW. (I didn’t like Ricky Starks in NWA, so I wasn’t sad to see that he had left for AEW also.)

I tried AEW at first and wasn’t really into it. I did tune in recently just to watch Thunder Rosa vs. Serena Deeb because I saw it getting promoted on Twitter, but mostly I haven’t seen much. I wouldn’t be completely opposed to trying again, but I’m having a hard time getting over the feeling that today’s wrestling might have just passed me by; it’s just a fundamentally different art form these days than the one I was so into in the past.

I get that, although I’m surprised the long term storytelling of AEW doesn’t intrigue you. Im really digging Thunder Rosa and hoping she joins them full time. She made such a big jump in talent from Lucha Underground to now. I can’t bring myself to watch WWE anymore. I treatment of viewers like idiots gets me.
