That can change. I think Darby has a shot at creating a fanbase like that. I do not think for a minute he can be John Cena successful but I think he could have a good sized fanbase and potentially some new kid fans. Similar to Sting for WCW, probably not even to that level of success but still successful.

Possibly, but then why hasn't it happened already? They have been around over 2 and a half years at this point, with a weekly TV show for 2 years.

AEW is doing exactly what WWE does, bring in a star from the past and pop a rating increase for a few weeks. Getting casual lasped fans to watch once in a while is good, but it never leads to sustained ratings.

At the end of the day, it will still just be all of us watching.

I can see a path where you are right. But the wrestling industry has changed so much throughout history. I think we've been stalled since WCW went down, nobody other than TNA had a real shot at making a footprint. AEW is working on that. WCW didn't top WWF for years. I guess like 5 years if you count since Turner bought JCP, but much longer if you consider JCP.
