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

[THEREALBRAND]

Not even comparable to the Ruthless era

More people were watching back then

Even TNA was watched by more

More people were watching TV in general. The way people watch shows is entirely different than it was even 10 years ago. TNA was doing a million viewers in an entirely different landscape.

 

[Peter Popoff]

TNA and ruthless aggression are miles ahead of AEW.

AEW is literally backyard wrestling on TV. My little nephews, cousins and nieces can out wrestle these little peons.

Adam Cole is shaped like a pubescent middle schooler with a pot belly.

True but you still have had shows like the walking dead do numbers in the streaming era

It's all about content

 

[Reality Check]

The TNA hate in here is so ridiculous. TNA on Spike was HEAT every week until Russo took over in late 06 which unfortunately was when Angle came in but TNA was hitting on ALL cylinders:

Heavyweight (Til Jeff got the belt to setup the Sting feud )

Tag Division (LAX’s original run might be the GOAT. Styles & Daniels had the best tag matches when multiple teams)

X Division
Women’s Division

Joe vs Steiner
Joe vs Jarrett
Joe vs Angle

TNA’s biggest fukk up was not pulling the trigger and putting the belt on Joe at BFG 06 and bringing in Russo


Jim Cornette Announces Jeff Jarrett's Next Opponent - iMPACT! September 7, 2006


They built up all year for Sting to take the belt from JJ only to drop it the next month to fukking Abyss because…..#Swerve

TNA is the definition of two steps forward, five steps back. The good things they were doing get dragged down terribly by the bullshyt.

Wait, people saying it is?


Lmao.


AEW Stan’s are different man.. I respect the dedication

 

[John Reena]

AEW booking makes no sense.

Like tha other night, Adam Cole came out and said Page beating him was a FLUKE an that he was gonna show Page…..so he CHALLENGES HIM TO A SIX NAN TAG MATCH. What?!

Streaming is a big deal....this is a odd comparison. The Cena era turned alot of fans' off.

He needs to bring this back.

 

[jadillac]

Might start watching wrestling again after 14 years

Nah bro. And don't even go into it thinking that.

AEW is hugely disappointing. And I wish it wasn't, bc they have the roster to be on par with wwe.

adam page has been the weakest champ in aew so far…he had ONE good match with danielson…(the marks will act like every match page has had is a classic)….he beat archer who stinks….he has a random babyface vs baby face match vs dante martin…like why? Thats how u know the booking stinks…im guessn hes dropping the belt at the next ppv in 4 months
