AEW

Not bad...not bad at all!Had an 90's WCW feel to it.Interested to see how they do on TNT later this year.Hopefully they take nothing from current WWE or TNA as far as style.I need me some 80's and 90's wrestling!

Early 90's WCW or late 90's WCW? This is important.

I watched it. I hope they succeed. But TBH, I'm not ready to crown'em. They are going to need more roster depth. They'll need to sign CM Punk soon and start hyping him for the Chicago show.

The women's 4 way match was great.
Cody Rhodes looks great. Golddust was a lot better than I remember.
The Young Bucks are awesome and the Lucha Brothers were great as well.
Kenny Omega is a phenomenal wrestler, but something about him is nerdy. His mannerisms are really lame to me.
Fat Jericho is still capable of putting on a great show.
The Moxley ending was perfect.

Pre-Vince Russo WCW

It felt like WCW because the production level wasn't WWF level. I'm not knocking it at all. To be their second PPV (you could easily say it was their first because RoH produced the first one), it was very well produced. Overall, the production value exceeded my expectations. But Carbarl is right, it did look and feel like a WCW show.

Rumor going around that there is going to be a Hart clan coming to AEW next year.Brain Pillman Jrs(who looks just like his dad) is already there,Davey Boy Smith Jr and Teddy Hart have talked about coming in and being AEW first Horsemen style group.

That sounds awesome.

Words cannot describe how excited I am about this. Every year that I sign up for the WWE network right around WM season, I end up spending 90% of the time watching old WWF/WCW stuff from the 90s. Today’s WWE is oversaturated trash with a highly political agenda driving it, and I have been dying for a decent alternative for years

AEW still has a long way to go before it would ever be considered a competitor, but I get the sense that they know exactly who they are right now, and Cody’s focused on simply putting on a good show. The other thing it seems to have going for it is that the frustration level in Vince’s locker room may be at an all time high. If AEW can get a little more momentum going, we may see quite an exodus from Raw and Smackdown

What day and time does it come on?

There is for sure a pretty big market for actual 80-90's wrestling that has just been thrown away since about the 2000's started.It's right there for the taking if done right.Another thing I like that AEW is going to do is the product is going to be centered around the belts having meaning.I mean if the wrestlers don't act like their world centers around getting a title then why should fans care?Also they only want to have four ppv's a year so they can build up stories over a longer period...smart..very smart.I just don't hope it doesn't turn into a TNA thing of high spots , bad acting and stories.

I hope they stick to the pitch they've made to fans and I am willing to give them a chance.There is a very big market of US fans to be had right now.
