Ranking Every AEW "ERA" From Worst To Best

What a f***ing time to be alive, man.

In the months that followed a game-changing little PPV by the name of All In, it soon became clear that Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks weren't content with just putting on the one acclaimed arena show.

They, and a bloke called Tony Khan, wanted to start a revolution.

And the excitement that could be felt throughout the industry from the moment All Elite Wrestling was officially confirmed to be a very real thing on January 1, 2019 was palpable.

Everything felt so bloody refreshing and unpredictable.

The company's first-ever press conference brought with it the reveals of stars like wrestling legend Chris Jericho, former WWE talent PAC, and the Elite's own 'Hangman' Adam Page joining the increasingly stacked roster. And Kenny Omega's later arrival, alongside the likes of the Lucha Bros and The Best Friends only added to the buzz heading into the company's first real PPV.

AEW landing their first TV deal a few weeks before the inaugural Double or Nothing was a further sprinkle of sugar on top of what was shaping up to be the most enjoyable cake to drop onto the pro wrestling table in decades.

Then that wonderful night in Las Vegas happened, cementing this fresh new company as the industry babyface fans had been crying out for.

The epic Rhodes brothers war, a Young Bucks/Lucha Bros hit, another excellent chapter in the Omega/Jericho story, and the legendary debut of the one and only Jon Moxley.

But there was still more stellar action to come before The Elite and co. made their way onto Wednesday nights.

Even with the unneeded controversial botched chair shot to 'The American Nightmare's head at the first-ever Fyter Fest, the hype train kept on moving at unprecedented speeds. And at this embryonic stage, AEW was also showing a desire to not only give established stars a new and creatively fulfilling place to call home, but offer the brightest independent talents the platform to grow into household names, too.

MJF repeatedly knocked it out of the park whenever he was handed a mic. Page felt like a megastar just waiting to break out. Tag team wrestling finally felt like something that wasn't simply there to give singles stars something to do when they weren't in the top title picture. And the collection of gifted women being assembled in that division also suggested a hopeful future for women's wrestling outside of WWE.

By the time All Out 2019 was in the books, fans were well and truly ready to bathe in this Elite alternative weekly. And sure enough, this was just the beginning of something properly special...
