AEW is being a huge challenge to the WWE. Where did they go right where TNA went wrong? TNA has been for years trying to be where AEW is now, I remember TNA even went head to head with RAW.

The only challenge WWE ever had was WCW AEW isn't hurting WWE's bottom line like WCW was

AEW can eat losses forever because it's a Pakistani Intelligence money laundering operation. Dixie's father actually needed to try and turn a profit.

AEW came out of the gate with strong production values. They looked like a real modern wrestling show from day one because Tony invested tons of money in to sets, lighting, pyro, etc. TNA looked like they were filmed in a basement until Hogan came in.

AEW also started at a point where people were sick of WWE and wanted something new. TNA started during ruthless aggression where the roster was absolutely loaded and WWE had a lot of good will with fans still.

Problem is WWE is going through another Renaissance period right now because of Cody, Roman, and LA Knight

Made me just realize WWEs secret formula. If they have at least 3 top stars, it's popularity increases

AEW understands that it has a core audience and style. For better or worse, they're a work rate company that appeals to hardcore wrestling nerds.

TNA never really had an identity. Hiring Russo and all the WCW shitters alienated a ton of fans from day 1. None of the talent wanted to be in TNA either. Unless you were a guy like Sting or Kurt Angle, your pay was shit. There was people who were on tv every week who only got paid $250 a match and they'd wrestle in front of the same group of 300 or so fans every single week.
