I don’t really understand the buzz about AEW. I feel like it must be because it is still relatively new and people are hopeful. Their roster isn’t a patch on what even TNA had though and they look to be making the same mistakes.

You're right, it's not TNA. If it were TNA all the older talent would be in a stable together and have all the titles. Instead, AEW tends to use older talent as managers or pair them with a younger guy or stable of younger guys. It's an easy and smart way to help get newer talent over, which they have done really well with.

The buzz for AEW is because it produces the best wrestling show overall each week. Dynamite tends to fly by and is mostly chill. Unlike WWE, there isn't any robotic commentary and over-scripted promos that come across as inhuman. Anything can almost happen on Dynamite, you never know what to expect.
