I've been a fan of wrestling most of my life, and WWE was something that I enjoyed often. But the product isn't the same anymore. I loved wrestling around the time of the Monday night wars. That's when it was at its prime I think, especially around the time the nWo, Sting, Heel Hogan, DX, Nation of Domination, Stone Cold, etc.
There's no creativity with wrestling anymore, just repackaging the same characters. Did you see the gimmick this poor sap got?

They built this dude up to be something in NXT, and then they make him look like some weird looking gimp from mad max or something and make him lose a bunch.
As for AEW, I feel like they get a ton more freedom, but damn they are trying way too hard. They really gotta show they ain't "PG" like the WWE by saying "shit" every 5 seconds. I don't mind Darby Allin, but dude can't talk whatsoever. Also looks like a scrub I knew in high school, so I kinda cringe when he's on tv. But I like that he sells a lot, and puts other wrestlers over.
While I'm here, I'm going to share one of my favorite series on YouTube, called Botchamania. It's made by one dude who looks out for botches (fails) in wrestling and just general dumb and humorous stuff you'd see in wrastlin.
I have to watch this.
