>>8027218Pretty much this. AEW's entire fan base is disenfranchised smark fans of another fed. That's it. There is nothing deeper. The fans think they are part of some revolution against a big bad when in fact they are just admittedly rabid fans of the fed they claim to hate. They cheer ex- WWE guys, ex-WWE matches, ex-WWE feuds, ex-WWE match types, and WWE style callbacks and references. There is nothing in current AEW that is not just a derivative take on something from WWE and that is a recipe that gets your fed dead.
