I'd say NXT in terms of storylines and gimmicks and NJPW in terms of pure match quality

I voted AEW, since it still has me looking forward to Dynamite and PPVs every week.
WWE: RAW has been pretty good lately, but Smackdown drags it down so I can't vote for it.
NXT: I feel like it has lost its flow since it went to a two hour show. They used to be able to do a slow build to the few PPVs they had each year, but now they also have to build to the Main 4 & World's Collide
NJPW: I watch the big shows and apart from the lower undercard matches they are amazing. I can't bring myself to watch the whole of Best Of The Super Juniors or the World Tag League, since it takes too much time. I watched the entire G1 last year and although the matches were great I was completely burned out with NJPW at the end of it.
Impact: I don't really watch it. If I hear they did something noteworthy I usually catch up with it later, but I don't really care.

I also voted AEW, but I’m absolutely a mark for fourth wall breaking, self-aware humor and flippy dippy stuff without worrying so much about realism. Cody is the best babyface in wrestling, and Hangman has the best storyline in wrestling right now.
Raw has had the Lashley/Lana/Rusev triangle dominating things in the absence of a champion until like the last three weeks, and some really great talent being made into midcarders or losing their first names. Street Profits are great though.
People getting dog food dumped on them and an invulnerable champion have been the focus of Smackdown lately. Getting better. But I can’t forgive them very easily for Kofi v Brock.
NXT has incredible athleticism and fairly serious storylines, and arguably the biggest breakout star of 2019-20 in Keith Lee. Overall for me it’s a number two (and a close one at that) to AEW.
NJPW is also doing very well, and I’ve liked almost everything I’ve seen from it. it’s just a lack of exposure for me. I think I’d probably fall in love with it if I gave it a fair chance.
Impact has so little exposure they’re on the same level as Powerrr to me. A cut below the rest— not bad, just smaller. And NWA has the Villain, so they have arguably better star powerrr. They’re setting themselves up to be a real powerrrhouse when they get a non-YouTube TV deal.

Street Profits are great though. It's the WWE curse of losing your first/last name. (Big E, Neville, Cesaro, Apollo, Andrade, just off the top of my head) |

WWE has officially lost all of my respect after they decided to put Goldberg over Bray. I don't understand how stupid you'd have to be to do that...

I honestly don't get it. They could've booked Roman vs. Goldberg without the title being involved and it would still be a Wrestlemania caliber match.
They just straight up killed the Fiend's mystique here. It's going to be very difficult, if not impossible, for this version of Bray to bounce back from this. Months of hard work down the drain...

I'm baffled by the decision making at WWE lately. They book anyone with any future star potential into oblivion and then wonder why they aren't more over. It would take too long to list all of the people they've squandered over the past 10 years.
You know things are bad when talents are turning down ridiculous amounts of money in favor of plying their trade elsewhere, even if elsewhere is independent shows.

NJPW for me. They have the best presentation out of them all. Also I wouldn't have included Impact or NXT on this list. NXT is still WWE developmental and Impact isn't even on most peoples radars anymore. Been that way for a few years now.

I voted for AEW, despite being a diehard NXT fan, because AEW is the show I actually look forward to every week. I don't necessarily agree with their in-ring performances or their roster choices, but since 2020 started the booking has been logical and the storylines have been interesting. Much more than the "who's supposed to be the heel here?" feud between Velveteen Dream and Roderick Strong.
