3 reasons why AEW is the new WCW

#1 Vince McMahon is worried again

The Monday Night Wars was a time period Vince McMahon would love to forget. The competition forced him to always look out for ways to make his product better.

After WCW's purchase, Vince must have breathed a sigh of relief, as no competition meant no worries about consistently delivering a top-notch product.

This won't be the case anymore. AEW's arrival is reportedly making Vince worry about reliving The Monday Night Wars again. This has resulted in WWE trying to lock their talents into long term contracts. A bunch of disgruntled employees have been asking for their release from the promotion, and it's only making things look bad for the WWE.

No matter what AEW's arrival leads to, one thing's for sure: the wrestling world is in for another boom. We're quite possibly going back to the past when pro wrestling used to be the talk of the town.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
