Founded earlier this year by Tony Khan and several of today's biggest non-WWE stars, there is finally a new national competitor to Vince McMahon.

I wish them all the luck. Everything I've seen from these guys is top-grade stuff, but it's a tough climate to build an audience for pro wrestling.

Hopefully this leaves Tony with less time for the Jaguars and Fulham.

This is what we hope about Vince and the XFL.

Thank God. Maybe we'll get lucky, strike gold, and we'll have a new Monday Night Wars. I'll be sure to check it out and if they good, support them.

Brad Siegel should've never pulled the plug on wrestling on TNT anyway.  Even in WCW's dying days, Nitro's ratings were higher than anything TNT has had on it since, excluding sports, like NBA and NCAA Tournament coverage.   They could have sold WCW to Bischoff / Fusient and treated Nitro just like any other TV show.  If ratings continued to be a problem, then cancel the show.    But of course, without a TV deal, WCW wasn't worth purchasing for Bischoff and Co.

That said, this is good news for AEW and I hope they do well.

Is it me, or did TNT just re-use WCW Nitro's flame intro for AEW?

It's going to be rather hard when AEW will be on Tuesday. (No shtick. It's probably going to be called "Tuesday Night Dynamite".)

It will drive McMahon crazy if they get higher ratings though, so there's that.
