I see a lot of people say AEW is WWE-lite and TNA was at least trying to be different. What did exactly made them different?

TNA was more WCW 2.0 than WWE-lite.

the 6 sided ring was dope and the second they got rid of it was when they started to decline.

So yeah, Hogan and Bischoff did try to kill another company. TNA/Impact somehow survives for some reasons.

AEW is definitely not making TNA mistakes.
When Tony starts ghosting Warner phone calls and emails, that'll be making TNA mistakes.

Different ring shape
Their own main eventer like AJ Styles, Abyss. Monty Brown, Ron Killings, Samoa Joe
The X division finally putting respect on cruiserweights
Unique match types
Roster full of other new stars like Team Canada, AMW, Machine Guns, Jay lethal

It wasn't until bischoff came when it became wwe lite. FS1 tna had so much soul

this, if AEW ever folds in 15 years there'll be some obese guy swearing up and down that [new wrestling company] is just WWE lite and AEW tried to be different. he'll also claim that modern wrestling is dying because it doesn't have any larger than life personalities like adam cole or hangman page anymore
