I appreciate the blue sky thinking when it comes to AEW. I was right there until they started chopping and changing booking plans for reasons that made ZERO sense and no one called them out on it. Then they did that Casino Battle Royale and it was done for me. First match. World Title shot. Glacier. Fucking idiots. I'm sorry, but it's just bad. There's no two ways around it. It's not "not perfect." That's absolutely atrocious booking -- and it was the first thing they did. And they loved it so much they did the same thing with ladders a year later -- even after the owner said it was a mistake to do it in the first place.
As someone who gives a shit about wrestling and wants it to get better, I just can't stand that people still stand by a company that is making Vince McMahon more powerful. And there is a time to call a spade a spade. AEW is PWG with a budget and some real late-stage WCW style booking. If we're lucky we might get someone else giving it a shot in another 20 years. Have fun with anyone worth a shit in AEW jumping ship to the WWE within the next five, by the way, haha. If you want to be recognized at an airport, you still need Vince McMahon more than ever.
