    AEW is just a superior product. And AEW does not carry the stains of Raw and Smackdown like NXT does. Raw and Smackdown have both become so pathetic that the image/ perception of them flows to NXT which most people still relate to them being a developmental program for WWE. You can’t just put a show like that on tv and declare it to be equal to its big brothers. A TV time slot does not change what people have always thought of it. AEW has a mixture of young wrestlers and established veterans with old school drama. And with AEW you get a sporting production unlike sports entertainment. And in AEW you see wrestling unlike WWE where the vast majority of their programs feature people flapping their jaws. Absolutely no comparison. AEW is here to stay!

    Forgot to mention this: I recorded Raw once and took notice when i watched it. There was only about 50 minutes of wrestling in the three hour program. That is pathetic. Boring. And the ridiculous vignettes they air are horrible and leave no room for realism. Just a sad sorry shell of what they used to be. WWE is the Jerry Springer of pro wrestling.. How unfortunate. And thank God for AEW!
