AWE thinks mentioning WWE legitimizes them. In reality WWE doesn't care about AWE and that hurts Tony the most. Its only competition in Tony's mind.

They should mention impact tbh not the higher leagues 😂

Just stopping by to say mad respect for your DVD game collection. 🤜🤛

This is the first time I’ve come across your channel. I agree with all your points. And side note. You have a calming voice dude.

Once the honeymoon period came and went, along with the issues that happened, along with WWE growing in improvements, it's all taken a hit at AEW. I don't really point it to one thing, I point it to a more domino effect. Cody leaving, the whole Punk situation, the whole Vince situation. Massive changes happened in the world of wrestling, compared to when AEW first began. But it's got to a point where AEW have basically shot down the good will they built themselves on, and now we'll see if they can overcome this, and go back to growing again.

If WWE is Coke, AEW is RC Cola

I totally agree with you buddy.. it's just a floundering,.. and I watch aew.. I absolutely have to say what it is and give WWE their credit... But im not delusional or a Tony Kahn cult follower.. it is what it is. WWE is doing well

TNA used to do this all the time especially when Bischoff was there, same with WCW even after the 83Weeks when it was clear they were losing.

Because punching up is a good thing, AEW making fun of WWE slightly every so often is funny.

Great video man, I'm with you on a lot here. Thanks KZfaq recommended for showing me your content

You can't compare AEW to WCW...WCW was televised and available to the masses...and I don't always have time to come to the library to hop on the internet to catch what AEW did this week.

had high hopes for AEW, not so much anymore

Because everyone taking shorts at aew even wwe. They need to fire back

Sometimes it seems like AEW doesn’t like AEW in my opinion. They have this revolving door of talent from other companies all the time and the talent that have get overlooked or overshadowed. I like a lot of things AEW has done with people like Swerve and Toni Storm a true testament to how good they can be when they focus. So I hope they can change the narrative and focus on AEW that’s my biggest takeaway from this video don’t talk about WWE and put worry about putting over your own talent.

I've been watching more TNA now because TK is really coming off as a rich brat.

I think it's stupid also ...I'm a wrestling fan all around..I love it all WWE AEW TNA NJPW AAA GCW MLW there are more it's almost like the territory days ..keep it growing together..wrestling is bigger than it's ever been ...

This is the same thing TNA did before it became practically irrelevant.

AEW is hellbent on trying to take shots at WWE whenever they have the chance to do so and as a fan of both products, I find it very petty from AEW to do so. They need to focus on improving their product, the leadership/management and how they build new stars to carry the company up. Jericho continuously hogging TV time to put himself over is really ridiculous at this stage because he should be putting over younger guys like HOOK and others but yet, he is doing the opposite. It doesnt help that his segments are boring and corny where it derails momentum of other younger talents like Ricky Starks. Tony Khan should start acting like a boss and takes charge of his company. Hire some bookers to plan storylines and have him be the final voice to approve/reject the storylines. Focus on promoting AEW as opposed to mocking WWE or etc. If I were to be a casual AEW fan and I see AEW wrestlers (or even Tony himself) taking shots at WWE, it would really sour my opinion on them because it just shows that WWE is living rent free in their head. It also shows lack of professionalism on their side as they felt that it is necessary to do it when the best option is to ignore it. Hell even WWE is not wasting their time, trying to find ways to bash AEW. They are so preoccupied with making their product better that it is actually getting better now. I agree on your point on AEW giving dream matches for free. I find that so annoying because they could have easily make money by making storylines for dream matches to make fans get invested in their products. Even the recent Ospreay vs Danielson felt like there wasnt much build up except that it's a dream match.

Because they can't fight them head to head ratings wise so the only way to fight them is with cheap shots here and there. I can assure you if the WWE had heat with them like in the wcw days, there would be lots of it, but in this case WWE pays no mind

Aew always mentioned WWE all the time since 2019

Aew exists because of WWE. WWE just is. But we need AEW to find balance again, last year was a fantastic year for AEW that I started to prefer it, this year it fell off a cliff... but I want it to be bigger and better. Cause it's existence pressured WWE to improve.

When aew first started I was so hooked. I thhought it was great but can't even watch it now. With wwe being so good again too I don't have the urge to watch aew. They realky blew an amazing chance to become something great

Your analogy is better than Tony Khans. Saying AEW = Pepsi and WWE = Harvey Weinstein on the NFL Network

Do you think Tony Khan is the main factor for AEW's issues?

It's far beyond just mentioning WWE. They have white ropes, a video board on the ring, and a video board along the barrier. A casual fan would easily be convinced it's WWE. Until they watch for a few moments. AEW has a great roster. They don't need to mention the competition. They need to find their own identity.

agreed

I used to prefer AEW because they were closer to my ideal wrestling promotion, but now that WWE is improving, I'm less inclined to ignore the indieriffic aspects of their content. Especially since it has gotten ever more intense after Cody's and Punk's departure. Cody and Punk wanted Rasslin. I, like many AEW early adoptors *NEVER* wanted a high budget PWG. We wanted the idea of WCW 2.0, without the baggage and issues. An actual alternative that tries to be WWE but better.

Same reason WCW always mentioned them after bischoff took over. They put WWF WWE on a pedestal. They already see WWF WWE as a superior

Why does WWE keep mentioning AEW?

Both companies keep mentioning each other but it's only a problem for one of them apparently.

They should mention wwe. Wwe exists. All their fans watch it. Their wrestlers watch it. Let’s not live in a fake world

No one cares lil bro 😂 😂 Lots of bad faith.

Idk... for the same reason that 600 view creators keep making this fucking video?

because its funny
