    I think what AEW is doing is great for wrestling. No matter how much you like McDonald's, having a Wendy's nearby is always nice. It's the same with wrestling. Having another show to watch and another way of presenting pro wrestling is great for the fans, great for the wrestlers, great for everybody!

"barely 10k people". how many wrestling company has drawn 10k people in the last 40 years champ? The monopolized juggernaut and WCW for exactly 3 years between 1996-1999. That's it. Literally no one else has drawn anything more since the advent of cable. how many 10k gates was AWA drawing in the 80s champ? How many 10k gets was Cornette drawing with SMW, champ?

    How can anyone argue that competition isn't good for the business of professional wrestling? The Monday Night Wars were the high point & the numbers prove it. Is AEW there yet? No. But they are in the process & offering something different to attract a different crowd. They have a built a solid, enthusiastic, and already loyal fan base. If they keep putting out content at this level, there is certainly a chance to for things to escalate to that level. No one believed in Turner in the 90's until it was too late. While they ultimately lost, the fans won. I hope we get something similar in the coming years. Thanks Tony!

      In the US WWE is still the far #1, but you're a bit naïve to believe it's the only market. AEW has, so far, trumped WWE in both Canada and the UK. They're also in the markets of Japan, Mexico, and Brazil -- and in the process of entering India.
      It would take many years to be stiff competition, but AEW shouldn't be written off, IMO.

      I think they sure are competition!
      And in the years to come I bet it will get a lot closer.
      Yes - they are nowhere near as polished and cater to the real IWC more than they probably should (everyone walking around with indy belts -random big name indy wrestlers showing up for championship matches that only the real hard core fans know)
      But the wrestling matches themselves are every bit as good as - and often much better- than WWE.
      Last night's crazy ladder match,for example - with The Elite and Death Triangle makes most WWE ladder matches look like everyone is moving in slow motion by comparison!
      WWE has better characters,stories and writing -
      But AEW has the best wrestler in the world ( Kenny Omega)
      The best tag team( Young Bucks)
      and the best heel in Wrestling ( MJF)
      So yup - they can compete!
