The Tweet you quoted, his whole twitter and apparently whole existence is defending aew and attacking wwe, so even if my comment doesn't apply to you it still applies to him and the others "on Twitter"
It's crazy to me the level of hate a lot of the fans and clearly people in each company have towards the other. There is a whole side of wrestling I'd have no idea about if it wasn't for this thread. I like and dislike stuff from both shows, I had no idea Jim Cornette was relevant in anyway still, I only knew him from being a shitheel manager in the old nwa stuff I watched.

I can’t really listen to Bischoff drone on, but I do enjoy when he starts really laying into it and Conrad gets visibly worried Tony won’t take his calls anymore. “You don’t mean that Eric”
To me WWE fans are perfectly content but AEW stans feel the need to go out of their way to tell wwe fans what they like, sucks actually. It’s like walking into a popular sold out stadium concert and yelling at people to like some up and coming indie band. But getting really angry at the people for some reason. So yeah the concert goers are annoyed and respond. what I will say is if AEW fans think they are drawing mass audiences over with technical wrestling then you’re really not understanding the primary audience of this glorious fake sport thingy.
Oh that said wwe can absolutely have a downfall but it will have everything to do with endeavor and capitalism and very little to do with AEW.
Up until the early 2000s I was watching with some buddies every week. I moved across the country and didn’t have anyone to watch with and ended up doing other things like bowling the same nights WWE was on. I’d still tune into the Rumble on occasion because, well, it’s the Rumble (and @Bankz’ balls of course). I’d keep up with things mainly from this thread and an occasional last hour of raw for years. For the most part over that time, everything just kind of looked like WWE doing the same shit over and over again slowly. I was burnt out on it. aside from a brief oasis with Lucha Underground in my desert of indifference, AEW brought me back. It was different, and I like different. Thats why I liked LU. That’s why I liked broken Matt Hardy. That’s why I liked Bray. That’s why I like AEW. It is different than what I’ve gotten from the E for a decade and a half. Also the competition of a serious (yes serious) competitor will do what it did in the 90s and elevate all companies and encourage the different and new in order to stand out. I get that AEW is not everyone’s jam, just like I understand that even though WWE isn’t my jam, that doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with it (aside from the announcing, that shit is like nails on a chalkboard to me). Really, it’s all the same shit just playing to different niches.
Guys can people post a little feedback while actively watching either company’s content without turning it into a discussion AEW vs WWE Having said that the Young Bucks are cornballs and their matches suck and they are the reason AEW is the worse product right now
Dijak got drafted to Raw and Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne got moved there too. Lots of potential for good matches between those guys and Ilja, Sami, Gable, Gunther, etc
For me, it was when Survivor Series 1998 was shown on free-to-air TV down here and I got to know a whole new gang of WWE stars after nearly 10 years away.
It's hard to get excited about it without Bray since he was the straw that stirred the drink. I know it's all being done to honor him though, so I'm trying to be open minded about where it goes since it's not like a fake Diesel/Razor situation.
I posted just yesterday Bray is what got me back into wwe. I was a huge Bray mark. But even with Bray, the whole "Uncle Howdy" thing was a miss to me and I can't imagine it being any better without him. I guess if it gets alexa back on TV that's cool. But I don't want to see that ridiculous looking Howdy again
mildly interested to see what they do with it but Bo Dallas has never done anything for me as a wrestler. His Tim Tebow gimmick was the only time he was even a little bit entertaining
To me fast talking, cult leader, some mystique but mostly based in reality Bray was peak Bray Wyatt. When they started going supernatural and stuff is when he started to lose me. Even firefly fun house Bray I liked because it was always kind of played off as he was insane and this stuff is going on in his mind. The Howdy stuff was just too much for me. Fiend stuff also jumped the shark.
Bray and this thread brought me back. But booking of Bray and his cult to lose always killed it for me. Don’t put them in matches just have them disrupt stuff, or have them win would have been so much more effective for his cult
clearly he was there to get the full scoop on Dirty Dom’s potential Tommy John surgery and how that affects his trade value
Having the entire cult job to Super Cena at WM is what killed the whole. Such a massively blown opportunity.
Shawn doesn't understand the contradictory nature of these three sentences destroys whatever narrative he is trying to get over
Wyatt Family v Shield was fun and I feel like they could have done more with that. But the shield was always going to go over them
