5 Ways AEW Is Outclassing The Competition Right Now
Whether you're a fan or not, you can't deny that All Elite are doing something right!
When All Elite Wrestling was announced, it came with the promise that it was going to change the wrestling world.
Of course, fans had seen these kinds of statements before, so while it was a cause for excitement, they weren't too convinced that the new promotion would make a huge difference. But AEW has stayed true to its word, as it is out here, completely altering the business and proposing a genuine challenge to the status quo.
There are many ways that AEW is outclassing its competition, as the mission statement of the company inherently intends to strive out and do things differently. The Tony Khan helmed promotion has seen vigorous success in its short tenure and has become one of the most inviting brands for fans and wrestlers alike.
AEW looks set to continue its streak of success towards bigger and better heights, and the thought of where they will go next is mouth-watering for those who've wanted to see a fresh challenge to the wrestling monopoly.
The following five points are just some examples of how they are proving themselves worthy of their success...
5. A Perfect Blend Of Wrestling Styles
It's normally very easy to look at a wrestling promotion and quickly identify its main selling point. For example, WWE is the land of sports entertainment, whereas NJPW is a base for fantastic in-ring work, and the NWA is the home of nostalgic old-school wrestling.
Trying to fit AEW into a box is not so easy.
If you want spot-fest spectacle matches, then AEW has got you covered. Is hardcore wrestling more your style? That's fine; they're no strangers to Blood & Guts. What if you fancy some sports entertainment? Fret not; here's a dinosaur wrestling a panda. AEW even branches out into old-school wrestling values through stables like The Pinnacle. It's got you covered, no matter what you're looking for.
This promotion truly is the land of variety, as rather than focussing on one specific demographic, it attempts to bring in wrestlers from all walks of life and appease all fans. It would be easy for this to fail and stretch the company too thin, but the vast array of talent and dedication from management/performers makes it work flawlessly.
