I was afraid that his death would turn out to be preventable. So hard for his wife and kids.

Yeah, but they really didn't want to do anything with him anymore. I think he wants to make the most of the few years he has left.

I agree that AEW is unwatchable. It's like the worst of WCW. The production values are terrible, most of the wrestlers are bad, the writing is comically bad. 

I tried watching AEW, good lawd its horrible. Edge, Christian, and Toni Storm were the only ones on the show that came off as real professionals.

It's becoming 2010s TNA. 

For some reason YouTube and Facebook's algorithms now have me getting a bunch of wrestling posts and video suggestions in my feeds, so I've been following news, watching clips, without actually watching the TV shows.

Having not watched any TV or PPV's in over 20 years, here's my take on everything as an outsider:

AEW seems to be more of a Super Indy promotion geared towards hardcore wrestling geeks who follow Indy and Japanese wrestling.   I have no idea who most of these people are, and I think very few of them would even make it in WWE.  (Outside of the established stars who made a name for themselves already.)

WWE is still WWE.   Good and bad.   I think the brand split hurt the company and that they have too many belts.   I also think it is obvious what is going to happen over the next few months:   LA Knight is eventually going to become the new face of the company and they're going to turn that new Smackdown GM into the new Mr McMahon character.   I think he's going to wind up feuding with Logan Paul for the US Title, because - quite frankly, no one gives a crap about that belt and it needs to be elevated.  The GM (who apparently was a really good wrestler in Impact or something) will start kissing Paul's ass and will try to "protect the brand" and LA Knight will serve as the thorn in their side.    It's basically going to be a repeat of how Austin feuded with The Rock after losing the WWE title match to Brett Heart.   Someone like Cody Rhoades will go on to retire Roman Reigns, then that champ will turn heel and join the "Corporate" faction with LA Knight ultimately winning the belt at Summer Slam or next year's WrestleMania.  

AEW really screwed this one up

He is a d-bag and a pain in the ass. He'll create some backstage issues and probably be gone within 6 months

Survivor Series was pretty good. All the matches were solid. They only had 5 of them, so each one was really able to showcase the talents of the wrestlers. Excited for Orton's return. CM Punk, not so much. Hopefully he's learned from his past mistakes.

He'll suffer some sort of injury before that can happen

I think this sums up AEW vs WWE pretty well...
