Do you genuinely think AEW will compete?

[White City Black]

They’ll stay at #2. I do think they will eventually beat Impact’s peak. The more they show and prove, and substain, the most they have the possibility of attracting more bigger names down the line.

None of us can say with certainty that AEW will eventually get to WCW’s peak. No one coulda predicted back in the day that WCW would’ve gotten that big. If AEW has any chance at even touching that peak with a fingernail, it’s gonna be a good ass while before they can.

NOT WITH TYE DILLINGER
They need some people with presence.
They trying too hard to appeal to whatever fan base this is geared towards

they don't have ONE person I'm even curious about seeing. Let alone ZERO Black stars

 

[GodinDaFlesh]

This. If you're still trying to only appeal to white males, its gonna fail. If black ppl dont fukk with it, it will never take off.

 

[JerseyBoy23]

True they could've easily put someone from Private Party, Lucha Bros, Scorpio Sky, Sonny Kiss, CIMA, Stronghearts, Sammy Guevera, even Nakazawa would've been one man of color there.

 

[CM_Burns]

No, it appeals to only maybe HALF of the potential wrestling audience at MOST. It might be a decent show with steady viewers, but not competition. Look at their stars.

Never heard of it

Never watched it

shyt ain’t even debuted yet and people already calling it DOA. A year ago when this wasn’t even a thought it was WWE sucks/NWG. Now on the eve of their debut they don’t have star power, they’ve run through all their matches etc... and everyone seems to stan WWE.

imo Vince is just afraid of the money not the talent. As he should be. he doesn’t know how long of a leash lil Khan has before daddy tightens the purse. Doesn’t mean he’s actually worried about the product, he just doesn’t know how much they’re willing to bleed so he doesn’t want to give them any more ammunition than he absolutely needs (ie, letting guys go)

It's not "Daddy's money" though. Tony is a co owner in multiple businesses with his father which means they earn together. He is also a legit wrestling fan and has more money than the McMahons as a multibillionaire. So far they've probably only spent as much as Vince did for the XFL which isnt much in the long run. This will go on for as long as Tony Khan deems it worthy.

At least they have dinosaurs represented

Like clockwork. During the TNA Monday Night saga, I was on other wrestling forums and they mobilized the same way.

The initial excitement I had for the product has already worn off.

I'll be tuning in, not with anticipation, but just to check it out.

I can't even say it's because they did anything wrong, it's just . . .like, that's it?

They still have a lot of heavy lifting to do before I see them as competition to WWE.

 

[JQ Legend]

Are there any bad chicks in it?

I'll check it out but if not I doubt I'd make it a habit
