AEW has made big waves in its first two years as a wrestling company and many would say it has exceeded many expectations. The goal for AEW was to be the alternative but the company has quickly become the standard. No doubt that AEW draws much attention but it has also seen current and former wrestling legends give their take on the product.
Former four-time WWE women’s champion and WWE Hall of Famer Lita talked with Steve Muehlhausen of DAZN and revealed that she has watched a lot of AEW’s products lately. She also added that AEW’s success proves that there is a lot of space for other pro wrestling companies.
“I think it’s exciting. It’s exciting to see fans so excited about another product. I hearken back to when I was wrestling, and we all had friends in WCW. We would call them. WCW had the replay, and as soon as we were done, we’d all raced to the hotel room and watched our friends. We’d be calling them in and commenting on that. So that part of it excites me from the workers’ standpoint. From the wrestlers’ standpoint of having friends and different promotions, we want to push each other to do better. I love seeing a viable place with competition, and it just being a new company, they’re fresh, right? They haven’t had to go through recycling all these storylines because they’ve been around for a long time. So I think there’s a lot of potential for expanding.
I just love seeing the fans like it really deep because I think that excitement of the fans being excited about wrestling translates to the other promotions. It makes people think it would do the opposite, but then people are like ‘I want more good wrestling.’ So, they’re checking in at WWE, Ring of Honor, Impact, NWA, and GCW.”
There is nothing but good things in store for AEW and just as long as they keep up their formula that is obviously working, the sky will be the limit for AEW.
