No doubt there's fans who liked both that just stuck with one.

I said it before, doesn't help AEWs case when their existence is "we're not WWE/Vince." and now WWE doesn't have Vince and is better than it's been in ages.

We're way past the
AEW: I hate you more than anyone will ever know.
WWE: I don't even think about you at all

Phase

Vince completely divested from the company today and sold his remaining shares, yet Khan is still using 'at least I'm not Vince' as some sort of selling point.

Vince is and was a piece of **** - we get it - but what is AEW doing to actually bring in new fans? Other than constantly relying on supposed 'game changers,' 'big announcements,' and 'dream matches' with no build and minimal payoff.

Imagine if they had held off Danielson/Ospreay and done it at the end of the year. Making it a 'title vs. career' match instead of doing it too early (to satiate the Dave Meltzer's/IWC).

I don't try really care what Tony Khan says about WWE. I'm never gonna go back to being a regular WWE viewer again, so I'm not put off by it at all.

But then again I've fallen off AEW because to me their overall live TV formula doesn't seem much different than WWE. They've become very slick and professional and samey in a lot of ways. They've taken so much from WWE (actual talent included), that I'm not sure what he thinks he's rebelling against. It's not like they are coming up with these new and amazing ways to build and progress feuds. Plus, now we even get cringe scripted promos too.

Hopefully this Elite storyline goes somewhere interesting.

At first glance, you think this is just a normal day for Darby Allin Kayfabe wise, then you realize this was for real. Darby Allin was hit by a bus while trying to cross the street in NYC. By the way, he did all this with a broken freaking foot! Oh and then he went to a Broadway show afterwards.
