>>18237303I admittedly don't watch every week. I tune in now and then and follow PPVs.
When the company started, it was built on promise. All they could get were a bunch of indy guys, many who were still green. They had a few WWE stars with some name recognition and that was it. Few people who could really go.
The company felt rudderless after the shine wore off. Just indy guys and former WWE stars.
Six years later (if we count 2019, pre-Dynamite), the company has one of the strongest rosters imaginable - the wrestlers there can really go and aren't jokes. The booking and writing isn't always great, but it delivers on what it was created to deliver - wrestling. It has history now, which makes it feel more established. Despite what people who don't watch at all say, it absolutely has stars and people who are worth tuning in to see - Hangman, Swerve, Ospreay (I know people hate him but they hate him for his reputation, not from actually watching what he does now). It has a solid women's roster, which just became a lot stronger now that Syuri is there.
It's not perfect. But wrestling really never is, even back in the "golden days" everyone loves to talk about. It was cringe to watch for a long time but I guess the best way to put it is that they're actually doing good stuff if what you tune in watch is actual wrestling.
And I'm speaking of someone who regularly bashed the product for a long time. If they keep it up I think there's some good years ahead of them - they're WCW in 1995 right now.
