Will AEW ever catch up to WWE in terms of international awareness and business success?
Kurt Angle doesn't.
The Olympic gold medalist and WWE / IMPACT Wrestling Hall of Fame legend spoke on his latest "Kurt Angle Show" podcast about the subject, explaining why he doesn't see AEW ever catching up to WWE.
"It’s crazy because fans pick sides," Angle said. "They pick who their favorite is. WWE is still in the lead, I think they’ll always be in the lead, don’t get me wrong, AEW is doing great, they’ve done pretty well in ratings from time to time and been close to beating WWE in ratings at certain points."
Angle continued, "The WWE is just a monster. They are a company worth $9 billion. When you have that kind of money behind you, it’s hard to compete with. Don’t get me wrong, Tony Khan has money too, but not WWE-type money."
