WCW was also petty af and took shots at WWE live on air pretty frequently, another staple of AEW. They are very, very similar promotions.

The only difference is that WCW managed to overcome WWE for awhile; don't see that happening with AEW. Wrestling in general will lose too much popularity before they ever have that chance.

I don't see WWE ever buying AEW though. Vince would be better served to just let them tank eventually and then pick up the pieces after the fact.
eh...I'll avoid the comparison talk until the day they put the belt on Marco Stunt to promote a B level wrestling movie.
