Is AEW as good as the Ruthless Aggression or even prime TNA?

[Reality Check]

Lmao nikka disingenuous as fukk saying it’s not better than TNA when y’all same nikkas was on the internet trashing it in real time, don’t act like y’all wasn’t

There's a lot of revisionist history on this board when it comes to TNA

 

[RammerJammer]

If you’re talking about 2002-2005 Ruthless Aggression, idk I have a soft spot for it but it’s easily better than 2005-2007 Ruthless Aggression and prime TNA.

TNA was dope in its prime, but I think AEW’s floor and ceiling are both higher than TNA’s

 

[MenacingMonk]

I don’t think comparing them to any of the E’s eras is right. Maybe old ECW, but AEW feels like a hybrid of feds.

 

[The Solid One]

AEW is not even the best wrestling show out now.

That title goes to Impact Wrestling.

 

[Womb Raider]

Neither of those two eras were good

AEW is better than both

Much better than both. All Out and Revolution are on par with the best of the attitude era

AEW more lit than both

Prime TNA was dope but those Orlando crowds were trash

You nikkas

 

[Prince Akeem]

Lord... the way you nikkas pretend TNA was better than what it actually was just to spite AEW. and I stanned TNA hard during that time.

There's a lot of revisionist history on this board when it comes to TNA

There is. If TNA during that time was ran HALF as good as AEW has been, they would have lived up to being the WCW successor the businesses needed and they're wouldn't been a need/demand for AEW.

 

[Freestyle Phantom3.0]

Yes, every pay per view has been quality with most being great, and you get ppv quality matches on television regularly.

Yeah, I never followed much of TNA (if at all tbh) but that promotion was clowned to death by 90% of SOHH and TheColi. And most of the posters that stanned that company aren't even active anymore.

Now the revisionist history of shyt being "must watch" is fukking

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

No era of TNA was better than AEW at it's best. TNA had some good moments mostly around 2006 but they ain't produce something on the level of Bryan vs. Omega at Arthur Ashe stadium..

 

[Womb Raider]

Hell fukking naw. Ruthless Aggression is actually better than the Attitude Era in some aspects, and prime TNA(06-10 imo) was must see tv every week. AEW is basically a mix of WCW 2000/WWE 2009-10/lower quality ECW 99.

I enjoyed TNA for what it was (AJ Styles stomping ground, place for washed/releases WWE stars to fukk around) but must watch is wrong lol. The biggest ppv was the one where Jeff Hardy came fukked up out of his mind lol.

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

It is absolutely NOT as good as aggression. Get ALL the fukkin way outta here with that

 

[Dolo]

Im biased towards the Ruthless Aggression era so I cant put it over that but its good and worth watching way better than current WWE at least

 

[Playaz Eyez]

It’s better than the latter portion of Ruthless Aggression (when people like Heidenreich, Luther Reigns, Moredecai, The dikks, Deuce N Domino, Eric Escobar, the Highlanders and other shyt like that were being featured. And it’s definitely better than a lot of Hogan Era and on TNA, and that’s almost exclusively on crowds alone. AEW crowds almost always are into the matches unless they truly don’t care about somebody. The TNA crowds used to be so wild and engaging and I don’t remember when it turned into what feels like non-wrestling fans getting free tickets.

Nothing is touching the SmackDown Six Era of Ruthless Aggression

but 2006-07 was garbage

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]
