Vlogs like Being The Elite, Sammy Guevara, and Ethan Page.
Also, HEY EW! with RJ City.

I love how almost anyone can be made into a a threat with the right booking.
Case in point, Evil Uno looked like a damn warrior taking on the near unbeatable Mox...

Gotta say after watching it today, matches like OC vs. Yuta are a part of what I appreciate about AEW; good story and history to it, great character work, well-worked overall, and it showed that there's a vision in mind for guys like Yuta, who clearly played the younger, upstart heel with a chip on his shoulder in the match, yet still finished with the crowd ready to cheer for him based on the story and performance.
I usually feel like you have to pay to see a match doing stuff like that, but we got it on regular TV, instead. Great stuff.

Thoughts on her current angle aside...
AEW helping Toni Storm find her love of wrestling and become one of the best women's wrestlers around again has been wonderful.

They strongly appeal to long-time wrestling fans, which is why they swept the Wrestling Observer Awards.

Mostly I'm just happy to have an alternative to WWE that has money and network support.
I also very much like that the shows don't feel like WWE shows. They're almost kinda like Nitro and an indie show combined.

-I love there being a major wrestling company that has a focus on...I dunno how to say this in a not pretentious way, but like artisan wrestling? Like wrestlers who treat wrestling like an art form flourish there and it's so cool to see people get a platform to like do their craft how they want
-Like 80% of my all time favorites have ended up there
-Being the Elite
-Good guys generally win in the end booking is something vitally needed in the US wrestling landscape
-Pretty much every show is jam packed, I've been to shows where I've felt like it was blatantly saying "you are in a C-tier town and we do not give a shit, this is the biggest you'll get" while every AEW show is "wanna see like EVERYONE?"
-The Bucks/Kenny/Hangman storyline
-All Out 21 and Full Gear 21 were two of the best live wrestling experiences I've ever had, if not the best
-Selfishly it feels at times like directly catered to me hahahahah like everything with Christian is like booking for Chiral lol and not just that, like a lot of stuff is very much my taste in wrestling
-Orange Cassidy's title reign
-Giving a platform to guys like Eddie Kingston, Danhausen, Best Friends, etc. so many more that would likely not have ever gotten on national wrestle TV elsewhere

That ppv.
4 incredible matches on the night really put my enthusiasm for AEW up after it has fallen in recent months.

Even as someone who is cold on their product lately and has many major, major criticisms of AEW...
The whole industry is better off with them existing at all, and that's what I most like about them.

I like the fact that AEW incorporates many different styles of wrestling and matches. They're not beholden to one style like the WWE.

Most of the PPV endings leave the fans feeling satisfied, unlike WrestleMania 39.

Most of the PPV endings leave the fans feeling satisfied, unlike WrestleMania 39. I wanted to exactly post this in this thread, but I forgot what the thread was called. Either way, even if it happens to be an AEW ppv that doesn't necessarily have the audience going home happy, it's never near the big middle finger to the audience that Reigns beating Cody was.

Can't think what's inspired me to say this, but AEW doesn't try to piss me off. Even if I don't agree with results, it never makes me angry
