It's easy to see why. I personally love AEW and have yet to see a Dynamite where I thought the entire 2 hours was a waste. They're certainly not perfect, and I think they're almost trying too hard to counter WWE's ultra-safe TV booking by loading too much into a short window of time to the point where it comes across looking sloppy. But I still enjoy it as a whole and generally find myself with at least a few programs I'm into at any given time.
Whether you love AEW, tolerate AEW, or think it's overhyped and want to shit on everyone's parade - there's at least more to discuss with them given that they're still only about two years in and evolving.
On the other hand, what is there even to discuss with WWE at this point? WWE is to its credit very good at what it is meant to be doing at this point - creating content and making money hand over first.
This does not require the content to be good, and you'd be hard pressed to find anybody on here praising most of WWE's booking aside from a few things (Roman's heel turn etc). That's because most episodes of WWE's weekly TV are carbon copy of one another. They're fulfilling content obligations and networks are happy to pay for it, and until there's a threat of that changing there's little reason for them to do anything but play it safe. TV is almost entirely skippable, once in a while you'll get a banger of a PPV. But they are what they are at this point. They aren't changing and so there's little to actually discuss.
