So which is better right now?

0:02.4

WW or AW?

0:05.5

It's tough because I feel like both companies have been in better places than where they are now.

0:11.5

Like there's a lot of goods still going on in AEW and like obviously WWE.

0:16.6

Like they have the moments.

0:17.8

But I think AW is the company that i've struggled to invest with more

0:22.2

probably over the last like 12 months or so the whole death riders thing i know it picked up at the

0:27.4

end but i just i was so done i was just just so tired and made me check out and a lot of the

0:32.8

mid card stuff isn't really popping as well as maybe as it has done in the past. I'm just not all that invested

0:40.3

in much outside of the hangman story right now. I think that's just where my brain is with

0:44.3

AWE. Whereas W.B, I know W.W.B. has not been perfect in 2025 in particular. It's at its moments.

0:51.3

The Sina Healtern has been an experience, let's call it that. But there's still been a few bright spots there, like scattered around. Like Cody has done incredible with everything he's been given. He's been putting some strange positions, like over the last year, and I think he's still been fantastic. Punk still had his moments. I'm not talking about the punkanomic stuff. We ain't going to go there. But yeah, like the whole AJ Lee stuff now with punk and Seth and Becky, that's really picked up. And I'm like, oh, I'm glued into that. I want to see what's going on with that thing. That's like the hottest thing in wrestling at time recording when we're recording this. And that's fully got my investment. I think anything the women are doing right now has been pretty damn good in WWE.

1:31.1

Evolution in particular just reminding me why, like, the women are for me the shining lights in

1:37.0

WB in particular and have made it so watchable even at times when it has been a bit dodgy.

1:41.4

You talk about that WrestleMania three way that they had, the E.O. Sky,ar Ripley, Bianca Belair one. That was match of the weekend. Unbelievable thing. That just reignited the firing me over a weekend where, again, you find yourself questioning at times like, this is fine, but are we past the boom? Are we there? Are we on the way down? and then that happens and you're like, oh, there's still something greater in WW. There's still some fantastic talent.

2:04.2

Your likes of reia Ripley. Again, Bianca Bel Air, Eoske. Anything Eoske and Asca are doing right now has been fantastic. I've got hope for the last few months of Sena's run, whatever the hell this is at this point. I know all the Brock stuff has kind of brought a big

2:19.0

cloud over that and still would be in general. But things like the AJ Lee return has just been a

2:26.4

nice moment and I just kind of restored my faith a little bit in the company, which seems to kind

2:31.9

of gone somewhat off the rails after the whole

2:34.3

Netflix thing. But there is signs of life, and that's why I feel like it's in the better place

2:39.6

right now. I could change very quickly in the world of wrestling, so I cannot wait to be proven

2:43.3

wrong, probably about the time this video drops. Come on, what are we doing here, right?
