All Elite Wrestling was a revelation. I watched professional wrestling when I was younger, mostly because I was drawn to the Rock and the other shiny objects meant for teenage eyeballs.
I had never watched wrestling like AEW was presenting. That was clear right away.
Oftentimes, I say I came back to wrestling a few years ago. But when it comes to the dawn of AEW during that time, it might be more accurate to say that I discovered a new form of entertainment altogether.
AEW’s shows have meant a lot to me. They provide an outlet and a unique sense of connection and investment from fans.
When I first saw AEW, I realized that this was a different kind of wrestling show. Last night marked the five-year anniversary of Dynamite, AEW’s weekly show. Five years later, it still is.
