Safe to say Eric used "Hall & Nash" better than Khan used "Punk & Bryan"

Punk isn’t the “star” y’all make him out to be. AEW has never gone past 1.4 million viewers. If they were such stars, the needle would move in viewers and attendance. They pop a rating on a debut and it falls off. Luckily they are smart and don’t do monthly PPVs otherwise that would expose their attendance numbers there too.

Dillusional. The NWO, Austin (and a lesser extent DX) made it “cool” to cheer for the heel. Which is a problem in modern wrestling now, heels don’t want to be a real heel, they want to be “cool”.
The people that expected them to start doing huge numbers week after week were never realistic. We have years of documentation pre-WCW folding of bigger names than Punk & DB switching sides and that needle not moving (Hogan, Macho). Nash & Hall is the example everyone cites but they didn't just show up and flip the switch, that NWO angle marinated and it was a perfect storm for that time period.
You'll get a bump on the initial debuts but that parabolic surge just isn't reality, it takes time and giving people a reason to continually tune in.
AEW's doing fine for where they are on their timeline, shills like Alvarez and his beards saying "they might massacre raw next week" is why what should be undeniable success starts to look underwhelming.

Well yeah.
Eric did a lot of shyt wrong, but give the man his flowers for ripping of New Japan and creating the NWO and putting Hogan, Hall, & Nash together.
He created the greatest angle in history and for a brief time ('96-'98), the greatest show/roster in wrasslin history.
Now, everything before and after,
But yeah, I keep trying to tell the AEW smarks that Tony Khan is a shytty booker, who has left lots of money on the table, but they've become like political party loyalists, where the party cannot fail, the party can only be failed.
"Wrasslin's different now"
"Kayfabe is dead"
"People don't watch TV anymore"
Yeah, wrasslin's different now because nobody's doing it right
People still watch movies and TV shows and people still watch sports.
There's no reason that wrasslin' which is a combination of serial television and sport can't be just as big as ever.
But again, the WWE & AEW stans refuse to accept that their feds are a part of the problem.

The biggest reason for what you said is that one company caters exclusively to (white) geeks and cornballs and the other caters exclusively to the ever changing whims of a senile 76 y/o man.Well yeah.

Halls ladder match with Shawn is probably his career highlight but Nash was more of a draw in WCW than as Diesel. Leading the Wolfpac and cutting all those promos/taking down goldberg kayfabe trumps anything he did as Diesel
They were only cheered out of spite of the WWE.

true but wcw needed a big risk angle like that cause they were boring , AEW is doing alright and they got nice young talent
Hall starting the Monday Night wars is bigger than a mostly non seen WM X show..lol. Shawn Michael's don't have a dn thing to do with anything legendary ex eot being a part of a scandal because they were afraid to force Bret to drop a belt in Montreal.
