How long do you think it will be until AEW tries to position itself as a direct competitor?

I say within two years time they will.

Year 3. The first 2 years will be establishing the brand.

i'm calling 3

 

[Bryan Danielson]

A main eventer in his or her prime jump ship

If we being real.... the only one in the E that really is that “BIG TIME” main eventer is Roman and Brock. Maybe Cena still.

Everyone else is pretty much the same level as the top guys in AEW..... matter fact after those 3 names, no one else is a in the WWE is a bigger name than Jericho.

Once AEW get up and running...... I think they will do fine with their guys and make their guys big time

Cena jumps ship, turns heel, tells the fans they can STICK IT, BROTHER!

they are a niche audience inside of an already niche audience in what's left of wrasslin' fans in 2019. Hope they succeed tho.

This. The wrestling wars ship has sailed a long time ago.

its so hard to say- the only way AEW becomes a real threat to the WWE is by creating new wrestling fans. They have to make it "cool" to watch wrestling- like the NWO or the Attitude Era did. If all they do is capture the core wrestling audience, they will be TNA status which was never a real threat

If they smart they get the hell of dodge when it comes to the wwe.

Doesn't matter how much you hate the wwe, they have built up their business practices & have enough loyalty to where it's impossible to catch up.

I think you and a few others need to read the thread title again. I never said they could compete I said how long until they attempt to do so.

If they get a primetime spot on TBS/TNT and bring back some lapsed fans they’ll be fine.
