Powerrr's main appeal has been the old school feel to the show which works now but might not transition well in another setting. Same for if it had to switch from being a weekly 1 hour taped show to being a weekly live show with or without the extra hour.

AEW's being as successful as they have been soo far pretty much was due to them having inside connections with TNT and them catering to modern and lapsed Attitude Era fans who didn't like or were tired of WWE's style of wrestling dominating the scene. Powerrr would be catering to a fanbase that's more niche these days than what AEW is going after.

I've never gotten the whole "AEW catering the the Lapsed Attitude Fan"

The Lapsed Attitude Fan would bitch about any match being over 10 minutes, want t&a out of their womens matches and care more about huge personalities than in ring action.

NXT and AEW are just splitting the smark audience and that why I don't think there will be a lot of total growth. It's just the same 1.5-1.7 million fans watching every week.

No one is watching wrestling again because of AEW. These boards and even more dead than they were prior to AEW starting up. Their threads go barely three pages.

The only people who are watching are people who still follow WWE regularly enough to know what is going on and are rooting against them. Which is fair enough -- good for those people -- but it's hardly good or anything that is going to turn anything around. It's hour eight and nine of WWE, only with less polish.

Are new fans really likely to find and join a random message board where the most active poster writes speculative essays about absolutely nothing in every single thread, often in reply to himself?

Surely they will just go to reddit like everyone else.
