Is AEW as good as the Ruthless Aggression or even prime TNA?

NO.

AEW was really good for the first 6 months of its TV deal. I would look forward to it every week and it was probably as good as those companies at that time. It's still usually good, and I watch almost every week and buy most of their PPVs.

AEW expanding their roster so much and having so many shows has really hurt the quality. Dynamite had a feel to it for its first 6 months where everything counted, and that just isn't there anymore. Last week's Dynamite had a few good segments and a bunch of matches that were impossible to care about, because now that the roster is so huge there's a lot of guys that have NOTHING to them.

AEW has a better roster on paper than they did 2 1/2 yrs ago, but their week to week shows are not as good as they were. I still like and watch it, but they're definitely not SD 02-03 or TNA 05-06 level.

Much better than both. All Out and Revolution are on par with the best of the attitude era

LOL. I actually bought both PPVs. I could see being gassed off Lucha Bros vs Young Bucks and overrating a good show, but Revolution?

Smackdown Six era lasted barely a year and a half lol. Smakdown from mid 04'- on was horrfic for the rest of that era.
Exactly. Ruthless aggression is one of the most history revised eras, even by the WWE itself, only done to be contrarian to Attitude. It was another case of Vince getting word to how awesome SD was, having a draft, then gutting them.

My point was 04-05 WWE was still decent as a whole but when you’re talking about the Ruthless Aggression era you kinda have to break it up in parts.

No not as of yet

A lot of y’all forget how much heat TNA had it was scattered but nothing in aew to me as been as exciting as say the Samoa Joe and Angle feud, Aj had about 100 4+ star matches there, and all the fukkery was always amusing to watch

it wasn’t until hogan came did it get really really bad
