I’ll preface this by saying that I generally enjoy AEW. I watch pretty much every week and I’m invested.
Now with that, AEW has some issues that are just so obvious and so frustrating to watch unfold. In my opinion, most of their issues are fueled by ignorance and arrogance.
For example, instead of using their television to create their TOP stars, AEW already believes that Cody, Omega, Bucks, Hangman, etc are top stars who should be used to get low-mid card guys over. I’m sorry, but that is fucking ridiculous.
For example, Cody is doing his best impression of “2015 Open Challenge” John Cena, but here’s the difference: Cody isn’t NEARLY as over as John Cena and Cena was “pushed to the limit” by guys that had a strong upside (at the time). Cody should be crushing talent in 3-4 minutes on TV to establish that he’s a top champion.
Many people rip Vince and his Yes-Men for living inside a “bubble”. It seems as though the brains behind AEW also live in their own bubble where just because smarks in Chicago pop big for your matches, that it must mean that you’re “over”.
I truly want AEW to succeed with steady growth so that they can elicit some true change in the business, but at this rate they will NEVER make it that far. AEW will exist and survive due to their current, loyal fanbase and deep pockets, but this company has not demonstrated any maturity or desire to grow much further than what they currently are.
