>Disgruntled fans go back to WWE now that Vince is gone
Was his strategy seriously just hoping that Vince would somehow remain in power forever?

Everyone keeps saying AEW is suffering because WWE became hot but keep forgetting that AEW has also actively become shit over the last 2 years.

Remember when some people thought Tony was behind Vince getting cancelled in 2022? That narrivtive sure aged well.

Really? I practically live here and don't remember that at all. Tony seems far too naive and socially awkward to plan something like that. I personally think it was a coup by Steph and Haitch though, which ultimately backfired when Vince sold the company, to ensure that they wouldn't inherit it and to get himself back into a more powerful position over them both (even if Vince is in a toothless position, it still serves his ego to be in a much higher position on the corporate ladder)

I don't think there was strategy other than austicly putting out workrate matches like wrestling was a real sport for every show.
At the time it was a very appealing alternative to Vince and Pritchard s endless comedyslob, literal clown-era of WWE, with nothing but jobber matches, 3 minute crushes or run-ins for weekly shows. AEW working roster was wider and equal.
Once Triple H improved that ratio, and more importantly , gave the midcarders better presentation and purpose so they don't look just like expendable jobbers, Tony lost all edge as an alternative and didn't change or adapt to the competition, that is why he will keep losing..

Back then madman Vince would have brought down the entire company and product just to remain in power, he sold the company trying to regain what little power he had left and it backfired.

I hate this idea that Paul saved WWE. Another smark headcanon that they are going to try to force for decades on end.

No one thought that, everyone said it was Stephanie or even Nick Khan. The kid Khan could never hatch such a complex and adult oriented plan.

This. WWE is the same retarded unwatchable shit it was under Vince. AEW has just slumped dealing with the fallout from Brawl out and is trying to regain its footing. Tony has also made some stupid decisions, but none of that makes WWE good

Their big shows have been objectively better than they were under Vince and more wrestlers have gotten over. The weekly shows are hit or miss still and the undercard is still could have some shit filtered out. Still better than AEW

HHH wasn't around back then because he was still recovering from his heart attack, a lot of people also thought it was over for him.

The Vince scandal was cooking behind the scenes before that and he's just a business man now. Plus it's not like he's doing one iota of labor and has the best doctors.
Guys much older than Paul go back to the office after a stroke, even though his was pretty bad.

In EWR if you wrestlers have a 5 star match, their overness jumps up like 20 points, regardless of how small the show it was on. He legit thought the elite were beloved household names.

I miss the Vince/TK dichotomy. AEW was almost always good so I'd but full on wrestling and would be able to enjoy Vince slop without getting mad.
Now TK and Gaitch both try to be like the other Fed and it's mostly fumbles with it rarely being great.

Most of them never stopped watching WWE. They just stopped watching AEW.
