It's time for you to admit that AEW is not what you thought it would be when it started, and there's no shame in that.
You were carried away on a hype train for something new and exciting, and instead you ended up with WCW v2.0.
What you are supporting now is not what you envisioned the company to be

Get fucked. AEW was great until Punk showed up. Legit, the moment he turned up was when shit started getting bad.

My ass.

Last night's show was awesome. Crowd was hot, and every match delivered. Punk and the Elite legit hating each other's Tony's problem. Not mine.

He'll, even WWE's legit gotten better now that Vince is gone, and things are looking up in Japan. This is the best time for wrestling ever.

Yes that's the point. What the product is now is not what you expected or wanted. AEW has changed.

Preach. It's not all Punk, TK insistent on bringing shitter from NXT (you know, the guys his guys already beat in the ratings) and having them go over his OG talent was another massive fucking blunder. Also, bowing to the Twitter mod and trying to get Cucknette to like him. It's all killed AEW, so it's now just WWElite.

You know not that long ago there were about 50 wrestling companies in existence that all ran shows several times a week and sold out?
And there was another time where wrestling was so hot that it was legitimately mainstream.
This isn't even the best time for wrestling in the last 20 years.

>crowd was hot
Every single person in thread here and on Twitter commented on how dead the crowd was for almost every match

>every match delivered
There were several two star classics on the pre-show and main card that were met with silence and botches.

Imagine being so wrapped in some war between two fake fighting companies (where you have zero stake) that you can’t just say something sucked.

It was exactly what it was which is garbage indie spotfest with green as gooseshit workers. Now that the savior CM Punk is trying to change the culture into gaining some clue and hopefully drawing some dimes hopefully all these shitters get the axe.

I've never seen a company with so much promise tank so quickly. Bringing in Punk was the beginning of the end, but when Vince joked how he was going to dump a load of shitters on AEW, I don't think anyone realised just how effective it would be. It totally fucked the whole company. The only winner out of all of it is Cody.

It was great up until punk came in, Bryan to a smaller extent, when Kenny got Injured and when Cody left.

Before then it felt like something fresh and new. Now it just feels like a c show for the fed with all the ex E talent getting hired.

There's a lot of Wednesdays now where I look at the card and decide to watch a foreign show or a movie, even go for a walk or to the gym etc.

No I like Punk, but there’s definitely too many wrestlers now. In the beginning you kind of at least vaguely knew what was going on with everyone. Now every other match is a bunch of random black guys or generic jobbers and you’re just like wtf.

it's funny to me when people say this because you can tell the ones who do are zoom zooms who never watched WCW when it was a live show.

I watched WCW as a live show.
In fact I'm old enough that I watched WCW as a taped show on Saturday afternoons during Grandstand
