I believe I haven't watched one Raw since Mania. I might watch the first one when the real crowd returns for the sake of it. I even forget SmackDown is on sometimes that show has been so removed. If they can't get a two hour show to be entertaining then why would I watch a three?
AEW has flaws to though. Let's be honest, they only cater to minorities. I think they had 1.4m rating at the start and then it slowly collapsed. That initial rating number was the extra we'll give this a chance folks and most of them left thinking it looked fake no doubt. Now it's smart fans who don't care it looks fake, pervs, wrestlers, some LGBT for Nyla and Sonny, and the obsessive, like that woman who is obsessed with Ambrose, she's probably watching. I just happened across her tumblr once and it was fucking weird lol. Oh and of course WWE because they haven't got one original idea.

Yeah I saw the clip of that "eye for an eye" match where Rey's "eye" is ripped out of the socket and it couldn't look any more fake. It looked like a tennis ball with some red paint on it. I think the swamp match could have been good despite being PG if they had more fighting in it. And at least have an alligator bite them or something. Censor it if you want, like back in the day when Jake's snake bit Macho Man's arm.
I hear you, but I also think AEW appeals in some way to all sorts of groups across the board. Like you mentioned, a lot of smarks and those other groups, but they always throw in a traditional match or two (like the Cody challenge series for example) where I think an old school fan would enjoy. I think a three generation family of wrestling fans could watch an AEW show together and every age bracket would find something to like. It would be all different things, but at least there would be some part of the show each would enjoy.
