Main roster wise...exactly...but NxT is a completely different entity...IMO, NxT is the best thing going as far as "main stream" wrestling....AEW seems to keep having major botches and there's a lot of hokey set up spot moves that make it seem more like Cirque de Soleil a lot of the time...that annoys the hell out of me.
@@varun649 Some are guys that WWE wasted...like Aleister (Malakai) Black...Moxley...FTR...Miro... there's a few from WWE I think fit your description, like Spears...but Others like Cody and Jericho were just sick of Vince's poop joke, bad saturday morning cartoon type wrestling...When guys like Black are let go but others like Carillo and Dominik the pudgy power ranger stay... that's not good...AEW has a ways to go and I'm still on the fence...but not every guy there is a WWE jobber...
No they aren't. They may not be publicly traded like WWE. But All Petite is NOT in touch with their fans. Unless their fans like watching washouts from WWE fight indy guys, as well as idiotic storylines that are rehashed from the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras but are tweaked so Tony doesn't get sued.
@@WorldTravelA320 I would rather watch some of the old guys get their way rather than watch the god awful “talent” at WWE Blunder every week. Kidney stones are less painful than a lot of the newer WWE events
@@ricky3698 WWE have the best heel in the business, the best character, best stable, women's division and all around talent if you put AEW's best talent together I believe Raw SmackDown and NXT all have superior rosters. Y'all hated John Cena and Roman Reigns for having a small moveset but are quiet when Omega pulls out 10 V triggers in one match it's a cool move sure but using it that much loses its impact. I believe AEW's best talent are former WWE guys that are able to shine more in a smaller pool and that's not to say AEW is bad but their a young company that needs some fine tuning if they think they will topple the juggernaut that WWE is. This isn't meant to be negative toward AEW I'm just pointing out flaws I see I'm a Wrestling fan and have been almost my whole life.
When compared to Vince McMahon, Tony Khan is incredibly accessible to fans on social media. He regularly checks fan feedback on Twitter, and will sometimes even take their suggestions and make alterations to his show. When a fan suggested moving graphics on Twitter, Tony responded to the tweet and delivered them a few days later. Vince McMahon doing such a thing is virtually unheard of.
Yeah,Moxley feels better in AEW than in the WWE because Dean refused to do that disgusting promo on Roman Reigns' leukemia. It was so bad he could say it while not on air but not ON air.
AEW is like the deconstruction of WWE. Doing wrestling in a new way, while at the same time being some WWF attitude-esque storytelling. Also having a very self aware tone to many things.
@@endlessfiregaming3863 mate, wrestling, in general, is fake, no matter how many guy's foreheads get cut open or how many hits to the head with a chair they take. WWE accepts that. Shame so many other promotions risk their talent's health by still trying to convince people it's edgy and real.
"WWE is synonymous with wrestling" That line is so True. Even if a small physical exchange occurs in the neighbourhood, it's referred to as a "wwe" or "wwf" fight. 😅
Personally, as someone who has been watching a lot of WWE, I'm not gonna lie to myself and say that AEW isn't doing better than Vince. But I'd rather just be content with accepting both companies for what they are than have to pick a side.
AEW is not head and shoulders above WWE but going from Dynamite to Raw and SD you can tell one takes itself seriously and the other is the Disney, mass produced garbage we’ve been seeing for far too long. Although I love both WWE’s booking is far more tired and less creative than AEW
I personally enjoy AEW more right now, coming from someone that's been watching wwe since 2005, but I keep up with the wwe storylines by the TH-cam reviews, and if there is something memorable I watch it! But there's no need to pick a side like you said. It's fine liking both
I watch both. Lately though I can't wait until tue and wed comes around. So I can watch dark and dynamite. I stopped watching wwe for about 2 years before AEW was even a thing. When I started watching again Aew came around but I didn't start watching aew until about 6-7 months ago. I do find myself skipping through matches when watching wwe sometimes. But dark and dynamite just have me wanting to watch and waiting until they come on again. But I do like both brands.
Their creative is fit for kids because it is a publicly traded company. AEW isn't as big and successful which is why you don't see them catering to kids, except with Best Friends and Miro
Vince come to the shows and rewrite the script. What I don't understand, if it was so good before, why isn't it any good now? Who wrote that Bobby Lashley sister promo?
@@freddyp319 vince used to trust his ppl but with age ppl became more stupid/delucional. he does the riotgames thing. "i/my family got XXX years of experience so my knowledge ways more than anyone else"
AEW is WWE from Attitude and Ruthless Agression Era with modern touches and a way more friendly environment. Edit: I did not mean AEW is as good as the hay day of Attitide Era but more so the style and kinda the tone they are going for.
The difference for me is that I can watch WWE in the background hardly paying attention and will barely miss a thing. With AEW I figure I can do the same thing but it turns out I can't be doing anything else because I want to pay attention. I don't want to miss a thing.
I stopped watching WWE years ago because I couldn't sit through so much of their shows. It was just so cringey. Now that AEW brought me back to watch wrestling, I actually enjoy and pay attention to Dynamite's full 2 hours.
Simple. AEW feels more natural and fresh. There's some stuff I don't like in AEW such as too much spot fests and the Women's Division, but I'm sure it'll take some time to change.
I indeed believe you with the Woman’s Division it needs a change seriously... But who can change it. But AEW doesn’t get me real mad and Nxt also doesn’t get me mad. The WWE main roster is the problem..
Youre actually right about violence and showing blood that remind me the old days of wwe and tna (ofc i we dont want ultra hardcore stuff like used to be on ecw) but indeed that little detail creates a more exciting Environment.
Blood is completely unnecessary. Couple prominent examples lookat WCW during the Monday Night Wars. When they were leading in the ratings they had a very strict no blood policy. But to me the better example is Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes. Ric Flair shed his fair share of blood, but he was known more for great matches then for the crimson mask, saving the bleeding for long running feuds and the payoff match against a much hated opponent. Dusty got to the point where he couldn't wrestle a match without blading right up to the point where he got himself fired as both a booker and a wrestler from WCW for violating their no blading policy because his popularity was going down and he thought a little blood would get the audience behind him more. As a result Flair dominated the title picture beating Dusty far more times then Dusty beat him, while Dusty had a handful of short title reigns dropping the belt as quickly as he got it.
@@Stumme-40203 no it was not. The reason WWE started to beat WCW in ratings is because quite frankly Ted Turner got bored with his project. All he wanted to do was beat WWF. WCW accomplish that for over a year but Ted Turner never really cared about wrestling. All he cared about was the fact that Vince McMahon screwed him over and he wanted to screw Vince back. Once he accomplished that he started tightening the purse strings letting guys go and because the top-tier guys had long-term contracts and could not be released it was the lower-tier guys who ended up getting cut because he wouldn't give them pay raises and cannot guarantee them a higher place on the card because guys like Hogan already had it in their contracts that they would either be in the main event or wouldn't be there at all. It had nothing to do with blood guts or the Attitude Era in fact The Attitude Era is commonly referred to as one of the worst periods in wrestling history
@@khesipresents1885 First off, they can't compete with a juggernaut like WWE. They have only one weekly TV show and they put the dark matches on TH-cam. There are slowly building up new talents from scratch unlike WWE. It's only a year old, and they have long way too go.
Alec guess he’s waiting to make a comprehensive Easter eggs and secrets video or something. It wasn’t exceptionally good or bad so I guess that’s why he’s so quiet on this.
WWE's always at it's best when they have legitimate competition, no doubt. It's a double-edged-sword that they keep beating their competition so thoroughly (WCW, Impact, etc.)
@@geminianpoet I think AEW is in a better place than either WCW or TNA were in. WCW was run by a bunch of egomaniacs who didn't care what they did with money because Ted Turner was footing the bill. The greatest pitfall is turning into WCW 2.0 which is what TNA seemed to be. But Tony Khan seems to actually know how to run a wrestling business, unlike that idiot Dixie Carter.
@@khesipresents1885 Who cares about the ratings, the only reason WWE has high ratings is because there hasn't been another company to match them and AEW, a newborn company, already has a lot of ex WWE fans tuning to them, because of the reality in their fighting. They are actually a better company in catering to their fighters, not undermining their ideas, and wants, unlike the history of the McMahons.
Keep in mind AEW Dark on their TH-cam channel happens on Tuesday's and is there generally to develop more talent, while also building up feuds that are mainly happening over on Dynamite, so them adding a 3rd hour would definitely help even more
@@supervegito4237 I know, I'm talking about a third hour of tv would help even more for developing talent since Dark is already around. It would be like if NXT call-ups were being properly pushed and developed on Monday Night Raw
I’ve been enjoying watching AEW & even Impact Wrestling more than WWE right now. Reminds me I gotta check in on ROH again & check out NJPW and MLW too etc. One shouldn’t narrow one’s own vision and blind themselves with WWE goggles and try to expand one’s own Wrestling horizons
@@zerothehero2628 actually they do if they work with them it will draw more attention back to them cause the don't have tv deals and many tv carriers don't have axs tv cause impact is on there so that could be a factor in this
Started watching WCW/WWF around 1994-1995, really fell in love during Monday night wars flipping from USA to TNT, it was wrestling that you simply couldn’t miss. Stopped watching completely around 2002-2003 before the whole John cena craze. Haven’t watched wrestling since, all the superstars I grew up with are either retired or passed on. It’s sad but that’s life. I just can’t get into wrestling anymore, especially seeing little snippets of what WWF (now wwe) has become. I must admit I keep hearing the buzz with AEW still haven’t gave it a chance yet, I might have to check it out soon.
I love reading these comments from 1-2 years ago. and just looking back and saying this is what we all thought, then look at WWE and AEW now. WWE is 10x better then AEW now imo
The biggest difference is that WWE actually needs to appeal to mainstream audiences and casual fans unlike AEW which caters to the die hard internet wreatling community. WWE is way more popular but has less die hard fans than AEW.
AEW tries new things. WWE is like TWD at this point. Same format every week, same scripted promos. Sure some of the things AEW does might suck, but at least they're not afraid to experiment.
I stopped caring about wwe in 2014 I guess it was when cm punk left...I went back and it's not even entertaining anymore like it use to be. The crowd nowadays aren't as hype like it use to be as well.
AEW is far from exciting. It's a bunch of people who have been future endeavoured by WWE, indy morons, and has-beens playing wrestlers, run by a fanboy who tries to rehash attitude era storylines but lame twists so he doesn't get sued.
Agreed. WWE has four times the roster, but 1/10 the creativity. At least half of them are in catering doing jack for months at a time. They have nothing for Alistair Black. Meanwhile they drag the Rolling,-Murphy-Mysterio feud across two brands.
@@hamanu666 You got that backwards. AEW's got a much larger roster compared to how much TV time they have, so many wrestlers that over half their roster can't even get a match on television. And what creativity? AEW's got guys playing face one week, heel the next week. Nonsensical face and heel turns and wrestlers attacking each other out of nowhere to jump start a feud rather then even attempting to start them organically. Rollins storyline dragged out because they were taking him off TV so he could spent time with is wife as she gives birth. They didn't want to give him a new angle. Now that he's gone the Mysterio clan with Murphy has moved on to other things. As for Aleister Black he's been on Raw/Smackdown for barely over a year what did you expect them to do with him? Shoot him straight to the world's title? They have nothing for him because they started an angle with him and Seth Rollins but Black had to take time off to recover from an injury. He tried to come back too soon they put him in a program with Kevin Owens a legit main eventer, but they realized it was too soon and that his eye was too injured to risk it so they took him off TV again to give him time to heal. How the hell are they supposed to use a guy if he's not healthy enough to wrestle?
@@smokachu1084 But WWE has become too predictable on matches as of 2021... All Black wrestlers always now win against other ethnicities and most Latino wrestlers lose against other ethnicities. That to me is hella racist because its all staged... Plus, they barely ever sign any Asian male wrestlers, unlike 20 years + ago. AEW has more fair matches so anyone can win or lose randomly... This is the reason I'm turning against WWE's male roaster. I want AEW to succeed, especially if more women and diverse people get signed... Other people also see this, so it all goes far beyond just a show, especially with all the political problems related to it.
AEW gives up PPV quality matches for free while WWE forces us to pay to see matches barely good enough for RAW let alone main event of a PPV. Plus AEW listens to it's fans and will help push a superstar that's constantly getting chants. WWE.......i mean do I need to say it? History shows they don't like you getting over on your own. Zach Ryder, Daniel Bryan, Rusev Day, Shinsuke the list goes on.
You don't have to be a "real fan" to choose to opt out on watching a promotion that doesn't hold your interest. That's gatekeeper logic to think you have to like everything to be a "real fan". There's a lot in wrestling that I do like, but there are promotions that I just don't have time for, for various reasons, and that doesn't make me any less of a fan. It just means that I know what I like, and what I don't like.
@@1LGN Either way you say it Cody's doing the exact same thing Vince is doing yet trying to claim he's more professional then Vince, creates a better program, and is doing things differently when he's not.
Per Vince McMahon himself: WWE is where you find "sports entertainers" and not "wrestlers" AEW is where you find the Pro Wrestlers being...Pro Wrestlers!
Used to watch WCW and WWF/E when I was a kid until I was 25. Life got too busy. I'm 37 now with 3 kids and starting watching when they came to TNT. Wednesday night is my wife's and I "date" to watch Dynamite. Love AEW!
Smaller schedule means more longevity. Longer time in between matches to heal injuries, spend time with family, have time to work on outside projects, etc. While the pay may not be as high as WWE, you get a lot more out of it.
To me WWE more often than not WWE has gotten stale. They have the same wrestlers feuding for months and months doing the same types of matches winning the same belts. Hell Brock kept the Title for several years and barely showed up. It's got to where you can find out who's going to be fighting and predict what's going to happen.
I actually prefer AEW in not having a developmental system. That means their wrestlers actually have to prove themselves in the indies and other promotions first. In the past, WWF stars didn't start with the company. They worked around the world first. As for people from other promotions, WWE just seems to make them more bland with the corporate style.
Fat tiger agreed they can just go out there and prove themselves and lose with them looking great look at top flight look at Eddie Kingston I can go on
@@fattiger6957 Amazing. Everything you said is wrong. AEW Dark is generally used as a development program, and AEW has hyped The Nightmare Academy ad nauseum for what they've done to help wrestlers develop. Wrestlers that have proven themsleves in the indies get buried on dark the only wrestlers they care about are guys who can put The Elite over, and they're pushed more for their history with WWE then any indy federation to date. The few notable exceptions are failing miserably, like Top Flight who never earned squat, never even wrestled in the indies, AEW took them straight out of wrestling school and are trying to pretend they're championship caliber wrestlers.
The schedule is arguably the greatest thing about AEW compared to WWE. Think about how much damage the wrestlers take and to take that throughout the entire week in WWE is exhausting and how many days they're away from their family !
I've been a WWE fan since the 70s before Vince Jr took it national. Therefore it's very difficult for me to get into and like any other wrestling company. I could never get into the WCW, ECW, ROH, etc. I am, however, starting to really like and get into AEW. I hope they continue to be successful, especially for the sake of the wrestlers. The business needs competition. When any company develops a monopoly it hurts everyone except the CEO and top execs.
The biggest difference is interest in the product. I can hardly remember to watch Raw, but never forget Dynamite. I have also skipped a free WWE PPV in favor of paying for an AEW PPV...something I have done twice. I have a buddies login to the WWE network, I ignore their PPV's most of the time, these video recaps are more interesting than the show.
A union was needed badly for many years since WWE basically monopolized the professional wrestling world. However, not having a union at this time might be a good thing with a company like AEW in competition. In the long run, WWE can keep treating their talent like indentured servants, while AEW can slowly lure them away and even allow them to compete at the indy shows, too. Remember, this company listens to the talent and voting is a thing over there. I don't see a new Vince McMahon being made anytime soon.
@@JERRYC3539 Do you even know what a monopoly is? There has never been a single moment in the history of the sport when there weren't other federations around, but somehow it's WWE's fault that those federations have failed miserably while WWE has maintained? As for your notion about how WWE wrestlers are treated, that's dirt sheet garbage. For every wrestler that has left the federation with horror stories there's over a dozen wrestlers who have had storied careers appreciating WWE for the opportunities they were given. AEW hasn't lured a single person away the only thing they've done is throw money at guys to do the same thing they did in WWE for them, and they've gotten 4 guys from doing that... one of them a guy who is 61 years old, can't wrestle, and is still making more money then the entire roster of any episode of AEW dark combined.
So they can pay a middle man who has no ties to the federation or to the sport of wrestling to pick and choose who who should get paid the most based on who pays the most in union dues rather then people who have actually been involved in pro wrestling for decades? Yeah. That makes sense.
@@JERRYC3539 Reading comprehension not your strong suit? Why am I not surprised? And by the by AEW doesn't "allow" their wrestlers to wrestle indy shows, their wrestlers HAVE to work indy shows to get any form of exposure at all as most of the guys that do are buried on Dark, and the big names they use in other federations they use to desperately try to get even a handful more viewers as they try to maintain their ratings against WWE's development federation. Most of the wrestlers that work indy shows HAVE to because they aren't getting paid squat while anyone who was ever in WWE is getting paid millions of dollars.
A couple more differences -AEW geniunely feels just like a group of friends doing what they love -There aren't almost any squashes, the booking is so good that even when a wrestler is dominated, they doesn't look weak
Even though aew is new and refreshing wwe will always be the one I watch I grew up on it and i have a lot of memories watching with my best friend and nothing can stop me from loving it.
Yeah nothing screams comedy like the Busby Berkeley musical that WWE put on and continues to reference from a month and a half ago. Or the sad ripoff of The Hanover they did a couple weeks later. Wait.. that wasn't WWE? Hmmm...
Nah smack down is ok but just because of the New Roman Reigns. That’s literally the only reason I watch smack down because of the new Reigns and his storyline with Jey and Kevin Owens. I don’t watch Raw anymore, though.
In my opinion I shane should run WWE and bring old ppv and appeal to a more mature like doing bra and panties matches and it might be impossible to do this end all deals with these make a wish be a star etc it sounds fucked up do u like my idea let me know and agree disagree fairly okay.
@@danielsandoval4418 i doubt they'll bring back bra and panties matches. that will completely diminish the women's revolution. we can't go back to square one
@@sewer_dog2096 I'm not comparing mma with wrestling. The UFC is similar but at the same time different. UFC is actual FIGHTING, where as WWE/AEW is staged wrestling. AEW is way more convincing than WWE.
I don’t think anyone within the company now will run it in the future not even hunter, I’d almost expect them to sell to some giant company for billions and they’ll all retire
While I love WWE, it's extremely easy to fall in love with AEW. I feel like, while Vince has given us decades, hes at the point where he just puts whatever he wants to see on screen. He knows no matter how much fans complain, his bills are still getting paid & Raw/SmackDown/NXT still get somewhat good ratings.
Fun fact: Even though WWE has a nice storytelling infrastructure (writers) their storylines on the main roster are the worst in all of wrestling because everything has to go through Vince who has gotten old and has the brain of a typical old man so he doesn't like other people's ideas which is why we hear every week that the show has been written in the last minute.
Rather than just having the point of view that "AEW has former WWE stars," which is a negative point of view, how about having the point of view that those wrestlers have a new opportunity in a different promotion.
crazy how the "WWE rejects" show just how talented they are in AEW: Jericho, Moxley, Brodie Lee, Matt Hardy, Cody Rhodes. It gives them a better platform for them
@@koryandrews1665 Did it ever occur to you that when people have a negative point of view it's because the product has caused them to have those thoughts? These wrestlers don't have a "new opportunity" they might be making more money, but they're doing the same schtick they were doing when they were in WWE, and as the ratings stagnate that money is going to dry up as AEW tries to find the guy that will cause ratings to spike rather then building their federation around the talented wrestlers they promised us when they first opened the federation, which is why even with Sting on the roster they have failed to achieve the ratings they were getting their first couple of weeks in business. WWE wrestlers have opportunities to record music, appear on TV shows, and do movies. I'll take that over the opportunity to be used to put over one of the owners of the federation any day.
I fell like AEW is just for hardcore wrestling fans the people who like 50 flips and 8 star matches every week and WWE is for all fans.NXT is for hardcore and smackdown and raw is for casuals and hardcore fans.
Though I like both promotions the one that allows the wrestlers to beat their own boss in the end is winner in my book. It's like getting shackle and force to comply but in the end they have had enough and break free and do whatever they want.
You forgot that AEW has Abadon. A female performer who makes for a believable supernatural/horror presentation, without needing a mic. Yes I'm still feeling shivers from hearing her tones after Hikaru Shida's successful defense of the AEW women's championship... Eat her soul!
AEW is basically a shell of WWEs former self look at the awesome things that AEW has: Wrestlers have creative freedom Writers & Wrestlers work together on storylines Blood is allowed More Hardcore stuff happens and is allowed They work with other promotions They let the stars shine without control or force
Blood shouldn't be allowed, Vince McMahon takes worries about his stars, he thinks like a good Dad does, he can allow blood . According to daniel brayan ,. Vince doesn't let them cross the limits , I'm training for pro wrestling, blood can transmit diseases , long time health issues , blood thing is disgusting in AEW. 2nd , they don't allow their stars to work in any other promotion , coz WWE is itself a brand People don't say pro wrestling , they say WWE . If they allow Roman reigns to work in impact , then what will happen to the interesting storylines in WWE WWE is cutting their roster is a good thing for fans , sad for wrestlers . Wrestlers like karrion cross , Keith lee, are 33 ,35 yrs in age they can just fight for 10 to11 yrs . & WWE has to spend yrs on building them , that's why WWE is releasing their stars . feeling sad for wrestlers
The Professional Wrestling World needed another company backed by another billionaire so the talent can have a choice, even if they were little differences. Sometimes the smallest choice a person makes or has to make can impact their life. I'm happy this finally happened after many years and I hope it stays that way for many years to come.
I'm an AEW fanboy, but I have to respectfully disagree on the women's division. The problem I have with AEW's women's division is there's WAY too many gimmicks. It's like a goddamn circus. It makes them hard to relate to and take seriously. I'd say out of all them, Big Swole is the only one I take seriously because she doesn't HAVE a gimmick; she's not a DENTIST, or a SAMURAI, or an ALIEN, or a "MAGIC GIRL", she's just BIG SWOLE. They really need to keep pushing her....
AEW is what brought me out of my over 15 year hiatus from watching wrestling, Dark in particular and the commentary is just a work of art, but I digress.
@@GreenWithEvil33 Brodie Lee former TNT Champion, fighting for World Title on PPV. Spears had a moment of his career with that chair shot on Cody. Miro looking more impressive and stronger than ever in WWE.
Name one star that AEW has "made". WWE made Moxley. WWE made Jericho. WWE made Brodie Lee, Jake Roberts, hell even Tazz is more known to most of the audience for his WWE career then he's known for AEW TNA and ECW combined, and by the time he got to WWE his in-ring career was pretty well over. WWE makes stars, AEW buys them and uses them to put the owners over.
@@MrPLLuke Brodie Lee? The same guy who competed as Luke Harper in WWE and won 3 tag team championships and had an Intercontinental title run, and you think AEW "made" him by giving him the TV title for a couple of hours and having him job to the world's champion? Spears "moment of his career" made him impossible to use on television as it was a sloppy chair shot that legitimately injured his opponent, the only memorable moment of his entire career was memorable for all the wrong reasons and since then he's done sweet fuckall to the point where he needs to wear Blackjack Mulligan's loaded glove just to beat jobbers on AEW Dark. Miro looks more impressive in AEW doing the exact same gimmick he did in WWE, except with a pink shirt and a smile on his face when he's supposed to be a heartless beast? If you say so.
This is truly the dumbest comment in this thread . Aew was made for the real wrestl ing fans lol there's barley any wrestl ing in 3 hrs of raw . Wwe is a joke literally a joke
Maybe AEW is going good but a lot of beautiful childhood memories with WWE💖 so I'm not gonna stop watching WWE in any cost but yeah I'll definitely support AEW and I also appreciate their work😊.

WWE is a fortress entrenched, long lasting and static.
AEW is a garden growing, maintained and filled with potential.
You summed it up poetically 👍
Main roster wise...exactly...but NxT is a completely different entity...IMO, NxT is the best thing going as far as "main stream" wrestling....AEW seems to keep having major botches and there's a lot of hokey set up spot moves that make it seem more like Cirque de Soleil a lot of the time...that annoys the hell out of me.

The BIGGEST difference missing is that AEW is NOT a publicly traded company as well as they are in tune with the fans and times.
No they aren't.
They may not be publicly traded like WWE.
But All Petite is NOT in touch with their fans.
Unless their fans like watching washouts from WWE fight indy guys, as well as idiotic storylines that are rehashed from the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras but are tweaked so Tony doesn't get sued.

He regularly checks fan feedback on Twitter, and will sometimes even take their suggestions and make alterations to his show. When a fan suggested moving graphics on Twitter, Tony responded to the tweet and delivered them a few days later. Vince McMahon doing such a thing is virtually unheard of.

Personally, as someone who has been watching a lot of WWE, I'm not gonna lie to myself and say that AEW isn't doing better than Vince. But I'd rather just be content with accepting both companies for what they are than have to pick a side.
OMG THANK U! Someone likes BOTH of them
AEW is not head and shoulders above WWE but going from Dynamite to Raw and SD you can tell one takes itself seriously and the other is the Disney, mass produced garbage we’ve been seeing for far too long. Although I love both WWE’s booking is far more tired and less creative than AEW
AEW takes it shows more seriously where as WWE is trying to hard to work with Disney and not working on their brand like AEW does every week
I personally enjoy AEW more right now, coming from someone that's been watching wwe since 2005, but I keep up with the wwe storylines by the TH-cam reviews, and if there is something memorable I watch it! But there's no need to pick a side like you said. It's fine liking both
I watch both. Lately though I can't wait until tue and wed comes around. So I can watch dark and dynamite. I stopped watching wwe for about 2 years before AEW was even a thing. When I started watching again Aew came around but I didn't start watching aew until about 6-7 months ago. I do find myself skipping through matches when watching wwe sometimes. But dark and dynamite just have me wanting to watch and waiting until they come on again. But I do like both brands.
if wwe has such a big story writing department, why are the stories lame and unoriginal?
Their creative is fit for kids because it is a publicly traded company. AEW isn't as big and successful which is why you don't see them catering to kids, except with Best Friends and Miro
Because everything has to go through Vince.

Simple. AEW feels more natural and fresh. There's some stuff I don't like in AEW such as too much spot fests and the Women's Division, but I'm sure it'll take some time to change.
20 tag teams doing high flying moves and 20 finishers that they kick out of
It won't change until the booker is changed for someone experienced
To many ladder matches tag matches and lack of other wrestlers on tv other from the elite takes that natural feel your talking about
I indeed believe you with the Woman’s Division it needs a change seriously... But who can change it. But AEW doesn’t get me real mad and Nxt also doesn’t get me mad. The WWE main roster is the problem..
Why is "too much spot fests on for TV" an issue for you? Are you an executive? What does it matter to you? Seriously
Youre actually right about violence and showing blood that remind me the old days of wwe and tna (ofc i we dont want ultra hardcore stuff like used to be on ecw) but indeed that little detail creates a more exciting Environment.
Blood is completely unnecessary. Couple prominent examples lookat WCW during the Monday Night Wars. When they were leading in the ratings they had a very strict no blood policy. But to me the better example is Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes. Ric Flair shed his fair share of blood, but he was known more for great matches then for the crimson mask, saving the bleeding for long running feuds and the payoff match against a much hated opponent. Dusty got to the point where he couldn't wrestle a match without blading right up to the point where he got himself fired as both a booker and a wrestler from WCW for violating their no blading policy because his popularity was going down and he thought a little blood would get the audience behind him more. As a result Flair dominated the title picture beating Dusty far more times then Dusty beat him, while Dusty had a handful of short title reigns dropping the belt as quickly as he got it.
You've never seen CZW if you think ECW is hardcore.
@@smokachu1084 The reason wwe eventually started to beat wcw in ratings was because of the blood and violence of the attitude era.
@@Stumme-40203 no it was not. The reason WWE started to beat WCW in ratings is because quite frankly Ted Turner got bored with his project. All he wanted to do was beat WWF. WCW accomplish that for over a year but Ted Turner never really cared about wrestling. All he cared about was the fact that Vince McMahon screwed him over and he wanted to screw Vince back. Once he accomplished that he started tightening the purse strings letting guys go and because the top-tier guys had long-term contracts and could not be released it was the lower-tier guys who ended up getting cut because he wouldn't give them pay raises and cannot guarantee them a higher place on the card because guys like Hogan already had it in their contracts that they would either be in the main event or wouldn't be there at all. It had nothing to do with blood guts or the Attitude Era in fact The Attitude Era is commonly referred to as one of the worst periods in wrestling history

@@geminianpoet I think AEW is in a better place than either WCW or TNA were in. WCW was run by a bunch of egomaniacs who didn't care what they did with money because Ted Turner was footing the bill.

WWE is so hard to watch now. AEW feels organic, AEW reignited that love that I once had for pro wrestling.
Keep in mind AEW Dark on their TH-cam channel happens on Tuesday's and is there generally to develop more talent, while also building up feuds that are mainly happening over on Dynamite, so them adding a 3rd hour would definitely help even more
That third hour is tv time so it cannot be added to the youtube channel
@@supervegito4237 I know, I'm talking about a third hour of tv would help even more for developing talent since Dark is already around. It would be like if NXT call-ups were being properly pushed and developed on Monday Night Raw

What is the use of having more rooster if in the end you only use the same ones as always?
Agreed. WWE has four times the roster, but 1/10 the creativity. At least half of them are in catering doing jack for months at a time. They have nothing for Alistair Black. Meanwhile they drag the Rolling,-Murphy-Mysterio feud across two brands.
@@hamanu666 You got that backwards. AEW's got a much larger roster compared to how much TV time they have, so many wrestlers that over half their roster can't even get a match on television. And what creativity? AEW's got guys playing face one week, heel the next week. Nonsensical face and heel turns and wrestlers attacking each other out of nowhere to jump start a feud rather then even attempting to start them organically.
Rollins storyline dragged out because they were taking him off TV so he could spent time with is wife as she gives birth. They didn't want to give him a new angle. Now that he's gone the Mysterio clan with Murphy has moved on to other things. As for Aleister Black he's been on Raw/Smackdown for barely over a year what did you expect them to do with him? Shoot him straight to the world's title? They have nothing for him because they started an angle with him and Seth Rollins but Black had to take time off to recover from an injury. He tried to come back too soon they put him in a program with Kevin Owens a legit main eventer, but they realized it was too soon and that his eye was too injured to risk it so they took him off TV again to give him time to heal. How the hell are they supposed to use a guy if he's not healthy enough to wrestle?
@@smokachu1084 But WWE has become too predictable on matches as of 2021... All Black wrestlers always now win against other ethnicities and most Latino wrestlers lose against other ethnicities. That to me is hella racist because its all staged... Plus, they barely ever sign any Asian male wrestlers, unlike 20 years + ago. AEW has more fair matches so anyone can win or lose randomly... This is the reason I'm turning against WWE's male roaster. I want AEW to succeed, especially if more women and diverse people get signed... Other people also see this, so it all goes far beyond just a show, especially with all the political problems related to it.
Lol, wwe labeled aew as blood and guts, and the aew used that as a ppv name
AEW puts on PPV quality matches on cable tv. WWE does not. If that's not a selling point, I don't know what is lol.
AEW gives up PPV quality matches for free while WWE forces us to pay to see matches barely good enough for RAW let alone main event of a PPV. Plus AEW listens to it's fans and will help push a superstar that's constantly getting chants. WWE.......i mean do I need to say it? History shows they don't like you getting over on your own. Zach Ryder, Daniel Bryan, Rusev Day, Shinsuke the list goes on.
I just love wrestling and don't care about the competition they have. I just watch it like a real fan.

You don't have to be a "real fan" to choose to opt out on watching a promotion that doesn't hold your interest. That's gatekeeper logic to think you have to like everything to be a "real fan". There's a lot in wrestling that I do like, but there are promotions that I just don't have time for, for various reasons, and that doesn't make me any less of a fan. It just means that I know what I like, and what I don't like.

If AEW stars work less are they paid less than WWE? And if they are, do they prefer it as its a less grueling schedule?
Smaller schedule means more longevity. Longer time in between matches to heal injuries, spend time with family, have time to work on outside projects, etc. While the pay may not be as high as WWE, you get a lot more out of it.
@@larrykenshalo8564 on the long term it may mean less drug abuse, stronger marriages and quite frankly less burn out.

To me WWE more often than not WWE has gotten stale. They have the same wrestlers feuding for months and months doing the same types of matches winning the same belts. Hell Brock kept the Title for several years and barely showed up. It's got to where you can find out who's going to be fighting and predict what's going to happen.

8:08 more like the WWE trains wrestlers with different styles and makes them become homogenized and vanilla
I actually prefer AEW in not having a developmental system. That means their wrestlers actually have to prove themselves in the indies and other promotions first. In the past, WWF stars didn't start with the company. They worked around the world first.
As for people from other promotions, WWE just seems to make them more bland with the corporate style.
@@fattiger6957 agreed
Fat tiger agreed they can just go out there and prove themselves and lose with them looking great look at top flight look at Eddie Kingston I can go on
@@fattiger6957 amen
@@fattiger6957 Amazing. Everything you said is wrong. AEW Dark is generally used as a development program, and AEW has hyped The Nightmare Academy ad nauseum for what they've done to help wrestlers develop. Wrestlers that have proven themsleves in the indies get buried on dark the only wrestlers they care about are guys who can put The Elite over, and they're pushed more for their history with WWE then any indy federation to date. The few notable exceptions are failing miserably, like Top Flight who never earned squat, never even wrestled in the indies, AEW took them straight out of wrestling school and are trying to pretend they're championship caliber wrestlers.
Genuis that they use other promotions to promote their wrestlers and only do 2 shows a week.
The schedule is arguably the greatest thing about AEW compared to WWE. Think about how much damage the wrestlers take and to take that throughout the entire week in WWE is exhausting and how many days they're away from their family !
I've been a WWE fan since the 70s before Vince Jr took it national. Therefore it's very difficult for me to get into and like any other wrestling company. I could never get into the WCW, ECW, ROH, etc. I am, however, starting to really like and get into AEW. I hope they continue to be successful, especially for the sake of the wrestlers. The business needs competition. When any company develops a monopoly it hurts everyone except the CEO and top execs.
The biggest difference is interest in the product. I can hardly remember to watch Raw, but never forget Dynamite. I have also skipped a free WWE PPV in favor of paying for an AEW PPV...something I have done twice. I have a buddies login to the WWE network, I ignore their PPV's most of the time, these video recaps are more interesting than the show.
THE COVID HAS HELPED THE WRESTLERS SAVE MONEY IN WWE IN THIS TIME OF GRIEF THEY SHOULD ORGANIZE A UNION
A union was needed badly for many years since WWE basically monopolized the professional wrestling world. However, not having a union at this time might be a good thing with a company like AEW in competition. In the long run, WWE can keep treating their talent like indentured servants, while AEW can slowly lure them away and even allow them to compete at the indy shows, too. Remember, this company listens to the talent and voting is a thing over there. I don't see a new Vince McMahon being made anytime soon.
@@JERRYC3539 Do you even know what a monopoly is? There has never been a single moment in the history of the sport when there weren't other federations around, but somehow it's WWE's fault that those federations have failed miserably while WWE has maintained? As for your notion about how WWE wrestlers are treated, that's dirt sheet garbage. For every wrestler that has left the federation with horror stories there's over a dozen wrestlers who have had storied careers appreciating WWE for the opportunities they were given. AEW hasn't lured a single person away the only thing they've done is throw money at guys to do the same thing they did in WWE for them, and they've gotten 4 guys from doing that... one of them a guy who is 61 years old, can't wrestle, and is still making more money then the entire roster of any episode of AEW dark combined.
So they can pay a middle man who has no ties to the federation or to the sport of wrestling to pick and choose who who should get paid the most based on who pays the most in union dues rather then people who have actually been involved in pro wrestling for decades?
Yeah. That makes sense.
@@smokachu1084 I'm glad you agree. Thanks. 😂
@@JERRYC3539 Reading comprehension not your strong suit? Why am I not surprised? And by the by AEW doesn't "allow" their wrestlers to wrestle indy shows, their wrestlers HAVE to work indy shows to get any form of exposure at all as most of the guys that do are buried on Dark, and the big names they use in other federations they use to desperately try to get even a handful more viewers as they try to maintain their ratings against WWE's development federation. Most of the wrestlers that work indy shows HAVE to because they aren't getting paid squat while anyone who was ever in WWE is getting paid millions of dollars.
A couple more differences
-AEW geniunely feels just like a group of friends doing what they love
-There aren't almost any squashes, the booking is so good that even when a wrestler is dominated, they doesn't look weak

i love how much this has changed now. and thank god it did.
Fun fact: Even though WWE has a nice storytelling infrastructure (writers) their storylines on the main roster are the worst in all of wrestling because everything has to go through Vince who has gotten old and has the brain of a typical old man so he doesn't like other people's ideas which is why we hear every week that the show has been written in the last minute.
Aew a lot of wwe cast off but the announcing in AEW is superb and the announce team in wwe is pure trash!
Rather than just having the point of view that "AEW has former WWE stars," which is a negative point of view, how about having the point of view that those wrestlers have a new opportunity in a different promotion.
JR makes fun of Aew while commenting
crazy how the "WWE rejects" show just how talented they are in AEW: Jericho, Moxley, Brodie Lee, Matt Hardy, Cody Rhodes. It gives them a better platform for them
Is that a joke? 😂😂
@@koryandrews1665 Did it ever occur to you that when people have a negative point of view it's because the product has caused them to have those thoughts? These wrestlers don't have a "new opportunity" they might be making more money, but they're doing the same schtick they were doing when they were in WWE, and as the ratings stagnate that money is going to dry up as AEW tries to find the guy that will cause ratings to spike rather then building their federation around the talented wrestlers they promised us when they first opened the federation, which is why even with Sting on the roster they have failed to achieve the ratings they were getting their first couple of weeks in business.
WWE wrestlers have opportunities to record music, appear on TV shows, and do movies. I'll take that over the opportunity to be used to put over one of the owners of the federation any day.
I fell like AEW is just for hardcore wrestling fans the people who like 50 flips and 8 star matches every week and WWE is for all fans.NXT is for hardcore and smackdown and raw is for casuals and hardcore fans.
Though I like both promotions the one that allows the wrestlers to beat their own boss in the end is winner in my book. It's like getting shackle and force to comply but in the end they have had enough and break free and do whatever they want.
You forgot that AEW has Abadon.
A female performer who makes for a believable supernatural/horror presentation, without needing a mic.
Yes I'm still feeling shivers from hearing her tones after Hikaru Shida's successful defense of the AEW women's championship...
Eat her soul!
Independent contractors vs employees
Aew got me into wresting again fr
AEW is basically a shell of WWEs former self look at the awesome things that AEW has:
Wrestlers have creative freedom
Writers & Wrestlers work together on storylines
Blood is allowed
More Hardcore stuff happens and is allowed
They work with other promotions
They let the stars shine without control or force
Blood shouldn't be allowed, Vince McMahon takes worries about his stars, he thinks like a good Dad does, he can allow blood .
According to daniel brayan ,. Vince doesn't let them cross the limits
, I'm training for pro wrestling, blood can transmit diseases , long time health issues , blood thing is disgusting in AEW.
2nd , they don't allow their stars to work in any other promotion , coz WWE is itself a brand
People don't say pro wrestling , they say WWE .
If they allow Roman reigns to work in impact , then what will happen to the interesting storylines in WWE
WWE is cutting their roster is a good thing for fans , sad for wrestlers .
Wrestlers like karrion cross , Keith lee, are 33 ,35 yrs in age they can just fight for 10 to11 yrs . & WWE has to spend yrs on building them , that's why WWE is releasing their stars .
feeling sad for wrestlers
Good for Sammy dropping that AEW bomb. Regardless, it was just great.
The Professional Wrestling World needed another company backed by another billionaire so the talent can have a choice, even if they were little differences. Sometimes the smallest choice a person makes or has to make can impact their life. I'm happy this finally happened after many years and I hope it stays that way for many years to come.

My brain: John Hepatitis
The day Sami Zayn name dropped AEW i was like “NO FUCKING WAYYYYYYYY”
For long term storytelling, you forgot to mention The Initiative.
Biggest proof of long term storytelling in AEW is that Moxley & Omega are feuding ever since the 1st show. its been 20 months
I love your intro my man
You need to add links to the beats used in the background, bro. Those beats are fire! 🔥🔥
Well all the good things about AEW didn't aged well 😂😢
😂
Wwe fan for 25 years but aew has a way better women's division first off..
Second aew is more violent,like ecw..
Love ecw, right here in philly.
I'm an AEW fanboy, but I have to respectfully disagree on the women's division. The problem I have with AEW's women's division is there's WAY too many gimmicks. It's like a goddamn circus. It makes them hard to relate to and take seriously. I'd say out of all them, Big Swole is the only one I take seriously because she doesn't HAVE a gimmick; she's not a DENTIST, or a SAMURAI, or an ALIEN, or a "MAGIC GIRL", she's just BIG SWOLE. They really need to keep pushing her....
@@tiberius1837 ... a circus??.🤣🤣
MJF is the best heel in all of wrestling right now
4:25 the guy with a banana costume is my new hero
AEW is what brought me out of my over 15 year hiatus from watching wrestling, Dark in particular and the commentary is just a work of art, but I digress.
Number 1: one of those insists on presenting wrestling matches as gymnastics.
If wasn't for WWE most people wouldn't know about wrestling 😂
WWE ruins careers while AEW makes stars.
Hows Shawn Spears, Mrio and Brodie Lee doing? Oh, that's right, They have become a laughingstock in the wrestling world.
@@GreenWithEvil33 exactly
@@GreenWithEvil33 Brodie Lee former TNT Champion, fighting for World Title on PPV. Spears had a moment of his career with that chair shot on Cody. Miro looking more impressive and stronger than ever in WWE.
Name one star that AEW has "made". WWE made Moxley. WWE made Jericho. WWE made Brodie Lee, Jake Roberts, hell even Tazz is more known to most of the audience for his WWE career then he's known for AEW TNA and ECW combined, and by the time he got to WWE his in-ring career was pretty well over. WWE makes stars, AEW buys them and uses them to put the owners over.
@@MrPLLuke Brodie Lee? The same guy who competed as Luke Harper in WWE and won 3 tag team championships and had an Intercontinental title run, and you think AEW "made" him by giving him the TV title for a couple of hours and having him job to the world's champion? Spears "moment of his career" made him impossible to use on television as it was a sloppy chair shot that legitimately injured his opponent, the only memorable moment of his entire career was memorable for all the wrong reasons and since then he's done sweet fuckall to the point where he needs to wear Blackjack Mulligan's loaded glove just to beat jobbers on AEW Dark. Miro looks more impressive in AEW doing the exact same gimmick he did in WWE, except with a pink shirt and a smile on his face when he's supposed to be a heartless beast?
If you say so.
Aew= like
WWE = comment
