10 Genuine Reasons For Modern Wrestling Fans To Be Excited

10. Competition!

The Monday Night Wars was a fun era to be a wrestling fan. In no other time in recent history were the competitive lines blurred so much between promotions. Wrestlers were switching companies. Anybody could show up on any show at anytime, and much of the drama felt real... mostly because it was.

Whether it was D-Generation X invading WCW in 1998 or the infamous Montreal Screwjob, audiences received equally satisfying amounts of drama. Both on the screen and behind the scenes, the dead-heat competition between the two kept either company from resting on their creative laurels. With ECW established as the third big wrestling brand of the time, heat between the promotions only served to rake in ratings. That is, until Vince McMahon bought them all.

Seeing a WWE truck parked outside at AEW's Double or Nothing tasted a little like the old Monday Wars. The fact that former AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes' face was emblazoned on that truck pushed the knife in a little more deeply. Competition is the tide that raises all ships.

With AEW continuing to grow and the WWE rumor mill in full swing, the status of modern wrestling could look very differently over the next few years.
