It's tough to convince me that "everyone here" loved Wrestlemania beginning to end, but I know that those who watched it had moments of fandom that reminded you of the best of times.
I think AEW does that for a lot of people because they have an attachment to ROH/PWG/NXT talents, because that's essentially the sum of the roster at AEW. Maybe Noid and Xrod just never got into that scene therefore they don't care about the turbo charged anime style that Kenny and Kota use, or the slam dunk comic book style of The Young Bucks. It's fine. It shouldn't challenge anyone who may have a different opinion to evaluate your own perception of things.

I may be in the minority as an AEW watcher, but I haven't seen much of ROH or NXT, except for a few smattering of ROH and NXT highlights/portions of shows/matches I saw, usually because we were watching some old WWE and they wanted me to see something specific from ROH or NXT that I'd never seen. Probably less than 20 hours total of ROH and NXT combined honestly, but I vastly prefer AEW over anything WWE is putting out. I don't even know WTF PWG is.
I will admit I somehow timed it just right and caught the start of both the Cody/Rollins match and Austin/KO live but didn't see anything else. It only happened because my wife and I happened to be re-watching Suits on Peacock and she fell asleep and I remembered that Austin was going to appear at WM. Didn't watch any of Sunday night. It was the first and only WWE stuff I've seen in probably almost 2 years now. The last things I remember seeing from WWE prior are Edge at the empty arena pandemic Mania match and the Austin empty arena Raw appearance sometime either (?) right before or sometime not too long after that. Even prior to that, my WWE watching was so limited/sparse I couldn't tell you what I actually watched before those two. As good as the 2 matches of this years WM I saw were, nothing happened that made me want to tune in to see what happened after. That's the problem.
AEW is far from perfect but they keep me entertained/interested enough to check it out 3 hours a week and the quarterly PPV most of the time.
