Official Wrasslin' Thread (renamed to reflect the discussion)

I meant alternative in the sense of styles, stories, and presentation. I am certainly not arguing that they are rivaling WWE in attendance or ratings. WWE is absolutely the hotter product.

I feel like they are an alternative to what WWE does (not that they are doing anything wrong), and despite the poor non-PPV domestic houses, I feel like they have been doing well with that this year.
That doesn't compute...AEW has never even come close to the Bloodline, Judgement Day, Damage CTRL..etc. For me, that's where AEW has always been pretty lame. The stories are just stale. I thought Edge would bring something, but that died off. Toni Storm has come the closest to something original.
