#idk. i just like it when things arent spoonfed to me like im five years old watching a condescending fireworks show

[the-kipsabian]

so like

im watching my first real episode of raw in like. i dont know how many months now. but its definitely helping me put the pieces together on why i like aew so much more

this is an entertainment show more than its wrestling. they tell their stories by talking, having extra segments instead of just going to the ring and telling the story with their wrestling and bodies. it feels like they need to justify every fight with words before so people watching understand why its happening

they dont trust the wrestling to tell the story on its own. they dont trust the audience to understand the story and themes underneath unless its explicitly told to them by someone on camera and/or holding a microphone

yeah sometimes you get "random" matches in aew. but they always have something going on and tell the story in that ring. and sometimes they dont have to do that cause its solely about the wrestling, as it should be

idk. i just like the wrestling aspect of wrestling and aew is definitely delivery much more on that than wwe does and thats what it ultimately comes down to with me honestly
