Haven't watched WWE regularly since I was a kid. Started watching AEW during the covid lockdown, first episode I saw was Eddie Kingston's debut where he beat the shit out of Cody. Been watching ever since.
Watching something new as it grows and tries to find it's footing is exciting and interesting. I don't like everything they do, but they do enough to keep me coming back. The whole promotion is so raw and unrefined that it feels like anything could happen. I like that.
The few WWE shows I've seen since coming back feel more fake to me. The wrestlers are definitely in better shape and the production value is there, but it feels like wrestling just for the sake of wrestling. No passion.
