tweets like this really hammer home how there was no real mainstream alternative to wwe for a generation and then so much discourse about the company starts to make sense.

like not even a judgment i just forget that like, there are people even a year or two younger than me do not remember that there was just a different tv show a couple channels over so stumbling onto tna or seeing an roh dvd at best buy was revolutionary in a way it was not for me
@fighthaskins TNA was putting out a better product for most of the time. This 'there wasn't an alternative' narrative is just tribalist stuff from AEW fans
@fighthaskins i wonder what the cut-off point of this is, because i started watching like 6-7 months after wcw died but i also had wcw mayhem on the n64 so "other wrestling" was never a discovery to me. it was always like i knew it was there but i just couldnt find it on tv
@fighthaskins there is still not a mainstream alternative to the wwe
@fighthaskins For a long time (up until early 2016 (i was 12 yo lol)), i thought wwe and tna were the only wrestling company in the world 💀
@fighthaskins TNA on Spike TV got me watching wrestling again after like 02
@fighthaskins @raulisonline the fact someone COULD possibly think wwe is the only league of wrestling is nuts.
