I want AEW to succeed because not only will it give me more good wrestling to watch, but its success will force Vince to be creative in a way he hasn't been since the last time he faced real competition.
Wrestling ratings are nowhere near back then. There also has been a second US company the entire time. TNA did okay early on.
I wouldn't call AEW the XFL as their big shows instantly sell out. It's just gonna basically kill off and replace TNA/ROH instead of actually going against WWE though. AEW could easily survive as for them the biggest hurdle is TV taping costs when they start those. If it replaces WWE, it's because WWE ratings went even more to ****; there's a lot less casual fans nowadays.
Every WWE jobber from the attitude era is way more known by a lot than everyone but Jericho in AEW is their biggest problem atm. Nobody knows who Omega is outside of hardcore fans.
