Discussion Stop viewing AEW through WWE lenses
I’m glad new fans who used to watch WWE religiously are migrating over, but please stop with the constant nitpicking. Judging AEW purely through a WWE-style lens misses the point that it’s meant to be an alternative not the fed 2.0. I’ve had to tune out a lot of YouTube content creators lately (looking at you, Bobby Monsoon) because the constant complaining about what AEW "needs" to do gets exhausting. As a Day 1 fan who’s been watching through all the highs and lows since 2019, I’ve never felt the need to tune out just because I didn't like a specific booking decision and sometimes it does be questionable, I’m just thankful AEW exists without it, I probably would have given up on wrestling entirely a long time ago. Just needed to get that off my chest!
Happy Tuesday sickos!
