I missed Raw this week. Not sure I’m going to go back and check it out. WWE has been solid and all, but it doesn’t feel urgent enough to me.
There really is room for a true wrestling alternative. Especially since an initial lack of sponsors could lead to a snappier show with more kinetic energy. AEW ain’t it. I checked out TNA once or twice, but I dunno. Maybe an alternative only works in theory?
If there’s a mass exodus from AEW for whatever reason at some point, Tony has paid the wrestlers enough money for them to start their own things. That COULD be interesting, although a promotion by The Young Bucks or Chris Jericho will almost definitely be ass.
There’s enough benched talent in AEW to make something interesting enough to compete with AEW itself.
