How good is AEW actually? (Checked out of wrestling 2 years ago)

[momma]

From the few random glimpses I get of WWE nowadays, it still looks like it sucks even with the Fox move. NXT is still probably killing it. AEW looks like a larger scale TNA but I'm not really sure as I haven't checked out any episodes.

Curious about that too , i left wrestling like back in 2005-2006.

It sucks

If you like high impact, technically sound athletic wrestling, aew is going to be your thing. They're a little light on promos and characters just yet, and the ones they have can be a little silly or peculiar. But there are still emotional moments and moments that make you catch your breath.

It sucks

same rating you gave distant relatives 10 years ago in your "in depth review"

Expect the usual stoogespects to appear in here.

edit: oh, there's already one that posted.

It's alright. A lot of WCW influence (both good and bad), clearly run by people who have never run a promotion before but has a freshness and excited crowds so its still easy for most to overlook the structural issues. If you want fresh talent and cool spots with a big budget behind it, you'll probably like it. If you want good booking and characters, probably not as much.

The deeper you are a WWE stan the more you probably will hate it.

That’s the best way to answer that question @momma .


So basically if the thought every Crown Jewel was awesome, loved the ending of the Bray/Seth match, loved December to Dismember, and love what they got going on with the black wrestlers in the company.

AEW probably ain’t for you

Kind of a mix of prime WCW and TNA's glory years. There is definitely more emphasis on wrestling than WWE. It's worth checking out.

It's solid. AEW overall is still a work in progress but the potential is there for something great. Their tag team division is best part of the promotion.

 

[Crimson_Dynamo]

I like it. They actually listen to their fans, in ring athleticism is good, they're still working on getting more promos and storylines together but last night had a good mix of both. The crowds are lit.

Give it a watch.

I'm not a wwe stan. It's basically an indie show with better production.

The booking and characters will come with time

The best way to figure it out is to watch it yourself. There will be a lot of people who like it say it's good and a lot to say it's not. Depends on you. I've seen them live and on TV and it's just a fun show to watch. If you tire of WWE's bs which it seems like most of the smart ones have, give it a shot and see how YOU like it.

Anything is better than the garbage ass shyt WWE is putting out.

WWE is straight up awful.
