I like how Tony Khan went out of his way to say Hulk Hogan is banned from AEW. We finally found a former WWE guy AEW doesn't want to sign!
All AEW has shown is at best they are a blend of TNA bringing in every former WWE guy they can and Ring of Honor bringing in the biggest Indy names they can and telling us how great they are.
It's just this weird mix where they are using the Indy names to put over the former WWE guys, unless it is the executives, who then use the former WWE guys to put themselves over, unless the former WWE guys are actual stars like Jericho or Moxley.
Everything is a tongue in cheek eye wink joke, and the only one who comes across having any real passion for the brand is Cody Rhodes. Everybody else is just working the gimmick that AEW is the greatest thing ever, bragging about their contracts and freedom.
They have lost a third of their audience in one year. They had the chance to hook them, and failed miserably.
Another third are like me, they still watch because it's wrestling, and wrestling is better then pretty much anything else on tv.
Then the last third are brainwashed and think a dude riding a horse on a football field is the greatest thing of all time, and will scream it to anybody and everybody they can. These are the ones that make the above third like me embarrassed to watch the same show they do.
