>>17660579WCW was an absolute cultural phenomenon alongside WWF during the attitude era, actually beat WWF clean for 83 weeks, and turned a profit.
AEW was briefly hot from 2019 to 2021 before fading into irrelevance and it's now known as the modern equivalent of LOLTNA except it's watched by far fewer people than TNA was during the LOLTNA era. It never surpassed WWE or came even close. There's speculation that it's "looking at making money in the coming years". As time goes on it only grows colder. The only thing anyone will remember about AEW twenty years from now is the wasted potential.
So yeah, WCW wins.
