>As a result, Impact is an a weird, all but irrelevant place. It's either Lucha Underground or a great match delivery system, but there are great matches on AEW TV every single week. The rebooted ROH has failed because it offers nothing AEW doesn't. The NWA was once so different that it actually penetrated the discourse amid the Wednesday Night Wars of 2019, but again, AEW recruited its best talents.
>It might have been argued that Corgan's NWA was the best league for promos, when Dynamite launched and Powerrr was in the coversation, because there were so few of them on those autumnal Wednesdays. Khan quickly tweaked the format, and consequently, the NWA had nothing distinctive about it, either. It is a bigger joke now than NXT, on which surfers, college students and mafiosos are what's "like that".
>There's no true #3 anymore, nor does any sort of new, compelling movement exist to unsettle the majors. The next big stylistic shift is not even close to emerging.
