>>5884260>Fine speechI grew up with WWF HEAT in the late 90s when it was free to air here. I'd rent PPV VHS tapes from my local video rental store hoping to see more Mankind. When we finally got cable it was TNT and I got a glimpse of what WCW was like. I couldn't get enough of wrestling. I never got to see full attitude weekly episodes or the PPVs in order. By the time YouTube rolled around it was 2004 and all my favourites were long gone but I still haven't watched it. But one day I'll watch the full 5 years. It will be fun as I just saw a couple of episodes lately and it brought me back to when I was sitting cross legged looking up at Mankind getting screwed by McMahon and Rock in a double turn at King of the Ring. I think '97? I remember playing Zelda OOT.
Anyway I've typed more than I care to continue. AEW for all the aforementioned points already mentioned here. I tried watching WWE around 2009 but it was just so bad and boring all I could do was reminisce of the wonderful era I'd missed out on because it was all so heavily scripted, stale, robotic, unnatural, sterile, goofy, dumb and clearly intended for a childrens market. That's why I momentarily glanced my eyes at the product from the pipe bomb of 2011 as Punk was saying everything I and others like me were thinking and saying. That's why I prefer AEW. WWE is a publically traded company. It wasn't during the attitude. It will never be the same because they have to answer to their share holders. Even if it wasn't risque with PG ratings they have failed to bring me back in because there's nothing compelling for me anymore as their story telling derives from Hollywood script writers and an out of touch old man. AEW doesn't have to answer to shareholders. As Punk said in the media scrum, the skies the limit. They have real potential to grow.
