WCW and AEW both seem to let certain groups of rasslers control the booking and book themselves to go over and be at the top of the card all the time. WCW was also petty af and took shots at WWE live on air pretty frequently, another staple of AEW. They are very, very similar promotions. The only difference is that WCW managed to overcome WWE for awhile; don't see that happening with AEW. Wrestling in general will lose too much popularity before they ever have that chance. I don't see WWE ever buying AEW though. Vince would be better served to just let them tank eventually and then pick up the pieces after the fact.

AEW also has always tried to imply they are WCW reborn. They often say things like "this is the first time WE have been on TNT since 2001" and things of that nature.

AEW is very much like WCW, and they even put out that narrative.
