What's up with all these WWE stans and wrestlers catching feelings so easily? They're not the underdogs in this story, even the people in NXT ain't underdogs now, yet all I see on Twitter today and yesterday is people resorting to "whataboutism".

I know they're used to defending their love for WWE to non-fans but in this case, they just look like corporate shills.

One thing I think people on both sides can agree on is that NXT’s Women’s Division is so much better than AEW’s, I really want them to work on that.

WWE low key has women's wrestling locked up... Moreso than any other division of wrestling.

It's going to be a hot minute before AEWs is up to snuff.

The marks strong love/hate relationship with Vince is the only reason why comments like this gets tolerated.

They're even willing to override their love of nxt if it means sh!tting on the wwe.:mjlol:

It's gone be real funny in the light when the ratings pop up & nikkas get exposed.:whew:

Kenny basically calling them developmental midgets is :laugh: Let's be real though, NXT usually delivers for Takeovers but the weekly show was always largely forgetable because it's made for the stars to get used to working for television. It IS a developmental territory.

That being said, AEW has more unproven talent than any other major organization on this globe. It's good that he has faith but they aren't stars yet.

I think he was more arrogant about himself. He has every right to be he's sold a lot of tickets worldwide already, far more than anyone currently in NXT and he's a better worker than most of them, if not all.

Adam Cole couldn't draw flies to shyt in Ring of Honor and NXT house shows don't do business. Takeovers have done well tho.
Also, Omega vs. Pac was better than anything I saw on NXT's premiere episode. I think it serves well to be fair and unbiased at this point. NXT has a better roster overall especially in the singles department and with the women. AEW has a far better tag division than NXT. Only team in NXT I fukk with is the Street Profits.
you can say what you want about Kenny. He's great...I agree with you on that point...BUT I happen to think he's been outperformed by Cody's matches on pretty much every show they've had and while thats a matter of opinion not really relevant. Fact of the matter is he's speaking for the entire company. Most of AEW's undercard wouldn't get a tryout for NXT. I'd take Swerve, Undisputed Era, Dream, Riddle, Walter, Street Profits, Pete Dunne, Gargano, Ciampa, Kushida, Hero, and Keith Lee over any of those bums who didn't come from another big promotion (WWE, NJPW, AAA) not to mention the women. MJF is they only star they've picked from the "Indys". I have no idea why you're bringing up house shows when AEW doesn't have any to compare. Do you really want to compare AEW's overall business to NXT's? You really think AEW is turning out a bigger profit? Please! As far as your 2nd quote... Kenny vs Pac was underwelming...they weren't even happy with the match. Roddy vs Velveteen was better IMO. Higher stakes.

WWE is shooting themseleves in the foot by still carrying on with this whole "developmental" thing.
