AEW or WWE?

[ChitownKnight]

Since July of 2022, which product has been more superior? I personally like AEW better since they have more of my favorite guys there

[CubsFan71]

WWE but they still have a ways to go. Great start though

[A Little Doo Doo]

There are things I like more about AEW and things I like more about WWE, but I think AEW's shows are more consistently good.

Why not both?

Both are doing great - both could be doing somethings better.

It seems like AEW is more of an alternative than competition, but it’s still fun to speculate which product is better

They are both doing okay now, but yes, there is still room for improvement.

WWE flaws:
Too many champions with long title reigns
Karrion Kross being miscast and overpushed (better as a henchman to a top heel or in a tag team)
Drew McIntyre choking against Roman at Clash at the Castle after all that build-up for the UK homecoming
Belair's endless feud with Damage CTRL
The Miz/Gargano/Lumis storyline's become confusing.  Guessing that Ciampa's hip injury may be part of the reason for that, however, as I figured he would have been involved otherwise.

AEW flaws:
Jamie Hayter and Daniel Garcia doing the same "teases face turn, only to reunite with their popular heel friends" angle
Feuds dragging out (BCC/JAS, Jungle Boy/Christian Cage)
Jay Lethal on Dynamite and/or Rampage every week while some people who haven't been on those shows in a while are stuck on Elevation and Dark only (Emi Sakura, Abadon, and Angelico, for example)
The Elite being out due to the All Out media scrum incident with Punk and Ace Steel has been making the shows feel a bit empty, but Omega and The Young Bucks do look to be returning soon

Iam enjoying WWE a lot more right now

[griti kitty]

For me WWE main roster/AEW are pretty equal now. I pretty much enjoy both but they have their flaws. Raw has segments that are way too long so they can stretch the show to 3 hours. Smackdown being on Fox with constant commercial breaks tends to ruin the flow of the show and AEW tends to have 1-2 matches a week while good I just could not care about. Overall, WWE has better segments, while AEW has the better matches.

NXT>>>>Both of them though.

[Lizuka #BLM]

I think AEW's generally a lot more watchable but WWE's easier to actually care about.

[Nosnorb]

AEW has the following -

- Cool Hand and Daddy Magic
- The Acclaimed
- Daddy Ass
- Scissoring
- Orange Cassidy
- Hikaru Shida

So it's AEW. If WWE had two or three of the above, I would choose them.

[chronocross]

I'd say I'm enjoying WWE more than AEW right now.

It feels like AEW lost some momentum after the scrum from hell back in September and they're trying to regain some of it.

[SneakMan]

AEW easily. WWE has improved and the PPVs are generally quite watchable but I still cannot bring myself to care about the weekly TV at all. The shows are too long, the camerawork sucks, and they feature way too many folks I either dislike or don't care about.

[J is Justice]

WWE, mostly because the women's division is treated way better.

Yeah the actual content almost doesn't matter while Dunn's camerawork makes it unwatchable.
Unfortunately AEW camera work seems to be getting worse too. Not WWE level but am increase cuts and missing some key things, like Samoa Joe hitting Wardlow with his belt last week.

Yeah AEW's had a disappointing increase in missing stuff, but I still give them a leg up because they're not cutting

[Push R Truth]

This very second? I feel like AEW is having growing pains and the WWE is kinda in the middle of a transitional sort of thing. It's kinda a tossup with WWE having higher highs and lower lows and AEW just kinda treading water at "ok but not great".

For women the WWE is just flat out better.

[WoodStoner1]

WWF, JCP, AWA, 80s etc., 80s etc. ;-)

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

At this moment, it feels like WWE's hitting its stride in some ways and is easier to watch.

AEW feels pretty cold as they're trying to navigate the aftermath of Brawl Out and randomly losing four of their top guys in one fell swoop. I think they'll gain steam again after they get ROH a new show and get past Full Gear.

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

WWE is better than it was, but it has quickly shifted back to losing my interest.

AEW at its best is like damn near everything I ever wanted from a wrestling show booked for me personally. It maybe hasn't been at its best but it still had Katsuyori goddamn Shibata appear.

Just want to pop in here and say this poll may lean WWE because it’s in the WWE board. Being plenty of WWE fans who simply don’t watch AEW will vote for it (as I don’t watch WWE at all)
