>>11895337AEW 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.
