:-/ People jump on me if I breathe wrong in AEW's direction, but it took two posts to turn this into an AEW vs WWE thing.

I'll just speak for myself. But yeah, the booking style is more similar to AEW than Vince's booking style, which as pointed out should be expected, as that's the way HHH booked NXT. And, WWE fans (or at least the internet ones) loved H's NXT, so it shouldn't be surprising that they are praising this. 

This just feels like a strawman argument. Don't think many people really were saying everything AEW does is wrong, and I especially don't recall WWE fans reasoning for not liking WWE that there was too much wrestling. My impression is that a lot of WWE fans had been looking for that for a while. It's just that they, myself included, didn't find the way AEW built to those matches, the matches themselves, or the talent themselves to be compelling enough to watch regularly.

I could go into detail about why I like the stuff WWE is doing now and not what AEW has done (based on what I've seen which hasn't been much recently), if we want to go there. But, I really wasn't intending to start that. Was just getting excited about what WWE is doing and wanted to post about that. So, maybe better just to leave AEW out of it, and if you want to talk about what they're doing, do so separately. But, again, if you really want to go there, I can.

Dude I wasn't referring to you with my comment at all. There is a reason I said twitter, wrestling websites, and elsewhere. I never ever directed my comment at you or even attempted to do so. If we had an exchange in the past, that was the past I don't know why you need to flip out when my comment was not directed at you (not even indirectly). My comment was a general statement on peoples reaction to the WWE's current booking, not an attack on you. Just relax man, geez.

Didn't think you were saying anything about me directly, but as a WWE fan who has been critical of AEW, I felt I fit in the category you were describing, and gave my perspective. Don't think my response was anything but even keeled.
