For all its flaws, I liked how the attitude era attracted all kinds of fans. You'd have the college kids trying to be edgy, long-time wrasslin fans, families w/kids etc.
Go back even further to before the Hogan era (and the very beginning of it) and it's a real mishmash at house shows, especially. Fun atmosphere.
I look into the AEW audience and it's a bunch of people who look like they only leave their basement to go to the AEW show. And they all do their stupid fucking chants. That's not particularly appealing to the overall aesthetic of the show.
Don't get me wrong--there's nothing wrong with being a basement-dwelling fan. It's just lame when it's all that I see.
They seem to suffer from the WWE problem of not actually knowing how to be cool. Which I guess is a problem many of us have.
