AEW has resurrected my love of wrestling. I was a child of the 90s, so I grew up a huge WCW mark and got into the raw attitude era and ECW. Fell out of love in high school but rekindled my affair in college with my dorm roommates. However, I lost interest after a while and would rarely tune in except for the occasional wrestlemania. Later on, my buddy turned me on to NXT during the Owens/Zayne feud and I was hooked again. NXT was the best thing in wrestling for a while but after seeing all the incredible talent getting called up and immediately misused on the main roster? The product lost its luster for me and would maybe check out a takeover here and there.
The same buddy who got me into NXT was hounding me to check out AEW, but I figured it was a new-era TNA. When Punk and Bryan signed, I knew I had to check it out. All it took was watching Bryan/Omega for 30 mins on cable and I’m officially a die hard re-watching old airings to catch up on this Page/Omega storyline and buying Malakai Black mercy.
I don’t know why I wrote this now but thank you Tony Khan?
