wouldn't consider Gallows and Anderson a positive since they've been losing since reforming the club...AJ wins though

fair point but i follow the OP's train of thought
2 years ago these are ppl that WWE would've let go without hesitation or cut

but now they are keeping everyone and using them
competition is better for everyone.
its better for the fans to have alternatives
its better for both brands...cream rises to the top
its better for talent (legitimate have options and leverage)

I wouldn't put all of this on AEW.

NXT has always been this good, people were just sleeping on it because of the lackluster main roster.

Also the NXT on USA deal was in the works for about 2 years. It was the next logical choice for USA since they were losing SD Live.

NXT always "owned" Wednesdays. As far as I'm concerned AEW wants the war because they seemed to choose Wed. instead of Tues. like it was originally thought.
They weren't on tv...only reason they are is because AEW is going at the same time and they have got rave reviews and feedback. The Rock praised Jericho for that sell out that Cody caught feelings over...lol.

NXT was stuck on the Network before the noise.

Triple H said it was in the works for 2 years. Think what you want, it was going to happen and the Fox deal was known way before AEW got a deal with TNT let alone put on Weds. nights.

Never heard that big nose freak say that except he implied they would have separate tours from the main roster.
