If you don't know the difference, we know how you voted. This kind of smug BS is why the board is in the shape that it's in. AEW is just as much "sports entertainment" as WWE. |

People that think WWE is any sort of a "wrestling show" definitely show their age. Sorry but it's true, if you grew up and your first dose of "wrestling" was the Attitude Era or the nWo era ... you will never understand. AEW is the closest thing we have to the days when the NWA ruled all and Mid-Atlantic, WCCW, AWA, and Championship Wrestling from Georgia were what you'd see on TV. Other than live interviews ... there was nothing OTHER than wrestling. Sorry for the double post, but AEW does stuff that's literally a take off of stuff WWE has done. |

Been that way ever since the "other board" came into existence. I haven't watched any WWE since 25th May 2019. I haven't missed a single AEW PPV or an episode of Dynamite or Rampage. In fact, I get excited on Wednesdays and Fridays like I did when I was a child looking forward to WWF. WWE means nothing to me now. I don't even think about it. Well, bully for you... Give yourself a goldfish.  *sigh* why did this turn into that debate lol. It's also very simple. WWE wants to distance itself from being called pro wrestling and even acknowledging the word wrestling. They prefer sports entertainment. This isn't a mystery, they're very open about it. Likewise, basically every other company embraces the term pro wrestling, and wants to distance themselves from the idea of being called sports entertainment. They're also all generally very open about this. Anyone is welcome to sit here spinning their tires trying to label one with the other label, but it's very clear what the companies own perceptions are, and they're not the same thing. Neither of them want to be called the other thing, and want to differentiate themselves from the other type of product. World WRESTLING Entertainment. |

Give yourself a goldfish. Do you think you could take a chill pill? He's sharing his take on AEW vs. WWE in a thread designed specifically for that. Didn't say anything inflammatory about the WWE or fans of it. If you can't cope with people having a different experience to you then a public forum probably isn't the best place to be. |

A big fan of both but imma go with AEW right now. It all depends really, one month I’ll go with AEW and another month I’ll go with WWE.
For me I’d say that AEW has been very consistent and I’m really loving the crowd, commentary and atmosphere as opposed to WWE.

I was in those early threads lol I get a great laugh going back and reading them over. Someone on Reddit compiled a thing looking back on their version of that thread and it was even funnier. Although it also had a few scary accurate predictions which was super cool to see in retrospect. Also lmao at angry human pointing out what WWE stands for as if it's making some great "gotcha" moment that I'd never considered 😂. If anyone sees referring to what WWE wants to be referred to as in some kind of negative, threatening light, that's a them problem. |

I swore up and down about two years ago that I was done watching modern wrestling, because WWE has been stale since about 2012, and all of the wrestlers being EVPs/creatives in AEW really turned me off (though I went to the first All In in Chicago). AEW signing Punk and Danielson changed that and reinvigorated me as a fan. Now watching the two shows, it's obvious which one is lame and overproduced and which one actually understands/cares about what wrestling fans want.

Nope. Fighting and only more fighting will ensue with a post like this. Locked and no AEW vs WWE posts allowed. JS
