The wrestling landscape has changed drastically ever since All Elite Wrestling first emerged in 2019. Wrestlers now have more options regarding where they can work, and fans also have more options when it comes to wrestling shows they can watch.
Fans on social media often like to compare AEW and WWE, but Taz recently took to X to share his take on why it’s unfair to compare wrestlers from the two companies.
“I know fans like to compare wrestlers in AEW & WWE the past several years. I know as fans that’s fun to do! I get that, but PLEASE realize is it’s an unfair comparison. It’s too completely different organizations, with different goals creatively. With differing visions.
Guys, u r comparing DOGS & CATS!
And most of you don’t even realize that. ”

When a fan posted a comment saying that fans should be happy they have options, Taz responded with a tweet which said, “Well, yes you’re correct… I worked in the environment where there was a monopoly. And it was f*****g horrible for most of us from the financial perspective. It’s different now, it’s better for the talent and the employees and the business as a whole. And better for the fans also because they have options.”
