AEW embraces the term “professional wrestling” enthusiastically as a point of pride, of properly naming the craft that they showcase.

I’ve switched from WWE to AEW. In addition to many other labor crimes and engaging in Saudi sportswashing, they’re anti-consumer. Remember when streaming services and the Internet were going to replace cable and save us all money? Well to watch all of WWE now you need basic cable, an antenna if your cable service doesn’t have The CW, Netflix, Peacock, and ESPN’s service.

AEW? Basic cable and PPVs, which you can download the day after to watch whenever you want to. With its emphasis on top-class wrestling over storylines, you can check in and out of wrestling over the months and still enjoy it.
