It may seem like AEW is a pretty hot wrestling promotion for right now but make no mistake about it… their popularity will die down sometime soon and they will just be another wrestling business going out of business. Kind of like what happened to WCW and ECW. When WCW and ECW started out, they started off pretty hot in the beginning but people stopped caring later on. I predict the same will happen to AEW. Go out of business like all the others. TNA Impact is still around but even they failed as a wrestling company due to different owner changes.

When AEW first started, I’ve been liking them for a little while… I’ve been with them at the start but then bailed and stopped watching. Why? I don’t know… it seems to me that AEW is trying to rip off WWE of what WWE did in the 90’s during the Attitude Era. I’m also amazed at how all these former WWE personalities that are in AEW now, talking so much negative shit about WWE and Vince. It’s like what? So many people claim there is no WWE vs. AEW war but that’s not what I’m seeing. AEW’s attacks and shots at WWE just won’t stop and they just continue. While most former WWE personalities are in AEW talking shit about WWE and Vince, there is one former WWE star that has nothing but positive things to say about WWE and Vince… that guy is none other than Aleister Black who is now Malakai Black in AEW. The split with WWE and Aleister Black was amicable, there’s no bad blood at all. I think Aleister was released due to the pandemic?

Anyhow, like with the title of this topic says, yes, “WWE will always be king”. Yes, it is true. There can be other wrestling promotions but they will never overtake WWE. WWE is a monster and a very powerful company. Yes, the WWE’s ratings may be way down as of this point but WWE is a giant. AEW is here ’cause of WWE, whether you want to admit it or not. Tony Khan the owner of AEW admits he is a fan of WWE himself and many former WWE guys working for his company.

I stopped watching AEW ’cause even they can get pretty bad with the storylines and matches, they are no better… and the music themes for their stars are pretty awful.

Anyhow, WWE maybe struggling in the ratings and all but they’ll figure out a way to get back on top again. I continue to support and watch WWE ’cause I like them better to be honest.

Wrestling fans wanna whine, cry and bitch about how awful WWE is but they continue to watch anyways. I continue to watch ’cause I enjoy it. People complain about how WWE isn’t wrestling anymore which is a load of bull. Yes wrestling is still around and WWE still puts on good matches here and there. I continue to watch WWE ’cause I respect all the performers, I respect what they all do. I respect Vince too ’cause he’s the one that gave us wrestling in the mainstream. I’ll admit that I’m not too thrilled of his booking and writing like most but Vince is a genius and a legend.

I just like enjoying wrestling. I’m not the one that will whine and cry everything about it. Wrestling is just a show and I think a lot of people take it way too serious. Just wanted to give out my thoughts on everything going on in the wrestling industry lately. It’s all crazy.

Ya know, now that AEW wrestling is finally here, I’m definitely thinking of ditching WWE for AEW. Well, I’m going to ditch WWE for a little while at least. I take long breaks from watching WWE every now and then and I may just do that starting next week. There is a WWE PPV on the WWE Network called “Stomping Grounds” and I don’t know if I’m gonna watch it. Even though I’ll probably take a long break from WWE again, that doesn’t mean I’m quitting the WWE Network streaming service ’cause I need to keep that ’cause it has a lot of old-school wrestling on there.

WWE isn’t getting better. Their shows RAW and SD keeps sucking week after week and both shows are getting worse too. Like everyone else, I’m fed up with how WWE is getting and I can’t really take it anymore really. We are all fed up with Vince and the WWE creative/booking.

We all definitely believe that Vince is out of touch of what we want and he doesn’t get it yet. We want to see good wrestling back but he keeps giving us storylines and wrestlers cutting promos than wrestling. That’s why the wrestling world has jumped shipped to AEW ’cause they give us wrestling… think about why AEW is exploding and WWE is tanking.

I’m probably gonna end up being a full-time AEW fan ’cause I admire what they’re doing. AEW on TNT Network won’t start airing until the Fall ’cause I keep hearing that they are planning on doing a weekly two hour show. They won’t be doing three hour weekly shows thankfully.

It’s a shame to see WWE doing so horribly ’cause I’m a long time fan and I’m probably gonna give up on them again. Each week when I try to watch RAW, I fall asleep through like half the show and I miss the end but that’s okay. I don’t miss anything ’cause RAW endings every week have been so horrible. RAW’s been a sleep fest.

That’s WWE, though. Sometimes they get really good and sometimes they get really bad. I want to see “wrestling” like everyone else. Yeah, we all know wrestling is “fake” but they are still great at what they do. There’s a lot of talented people in the business. I don’t blame the performers for a bad product in WWE ’cause they are being paid to perform. Vince is the problem and everyone knows it. Even the superstars know that Vince is the problem, that’s why you see a lot of them leaving WWE nowadays. I don’t like the way WWE is going myself.

WWE better step their game up now that AEW is here. AEW could easily become bigger than WWE and they already are getting bigger. AEW is an awesome company and I’m gonna be keeping an eye of what they’re doing.

I’ve been visiting fan sites of AEW groups in facebook to see what they have to say about the wrestling industry. I’m seeing that a lot of people think AEW will put WWE out of business soon simply because they believe that AEW will get so big that WWE will have no audience left. You see, this is where I disagree. The WWE maybe low in the ratings right now but they will ALWAYS be a very powerful company. The WWE is so powerful and rich, they’ll be around forever. It’s going to be hard to take them out of business.

While I don’t see the WWE going away, I can see AEW helping them, though. Maybe one day WWE will wake up and give what the fans want after they see what AEW do? I wouldn’t be surprised that WWE will give us more wrestling after the AEW ppv “Double or Nothing”.

There is no doubt that this is going be a huge ratings war between AEW and WWE but WWE will never go away. Even if AEW is finally here, that still doesn’t mean I’m giving up on WWE ’cause I’ll still support both companies. I love wrestling, ya know? While it’s interesting that a lot of fans believe that WWE will be gone soon, it’s not gonna happen. Like I said above, I think AEW will try to help improve WWE’s product.

AEW exploded ’cause everyone wants to see wrestling which WWE don’t give us anymore. Maybe they will now, ya know?

Also, a lot of people mistakenly believe that AEW is just for the indies. Ya know, stuff like NJPW, ROH and things like that. Um, no. AEW maybe full of independent talent but AEW is a world wide and a big national promotion. They are a pretty huge company, they are pretty much the next WCW. AEW will have many former WWE guys on the roster and many former WCW guys. AEW will sign any talent from any other wrestling company. Their first WCW/WWE guy was Chris Jericho and then Jon Moxley (formerly known as Dean Ambrose) made his debut at “Double or Nothing”. I think there will be many more WCW and WWE guys on their way to AEW.

Competition is always cool, though. I’m a huge fan of AEW and I love what they’re doing. What they’re doing is pretty ballsy. They’re giving us wrestling like no other company would. We haven’t seen wrestling in a long long time. There was wrestling in the early 80’s and early 90’s but pro wrestling stopped in 2000’s years and it was all sports entertainment. We don’t want sports entertainment, we want wrestling. That’s what we watch these shows for but Vince doesn’t get it yet. Maybe he’ll get it now that AEW is here? Who knows!
