AEW has been making every other god damn match no dq hard-core bullshit, and none of it is memorable.

Case in point: How many people are still talking about Rey Fenix getting chokeslamed through a ringside table and mangling his arm?

Fucking no one.

Meanwhile, 30 years later, people are still referencing terry funk piledriving Flair into a table, and the subsequent I quit match even though it's kids stuff by today's standards. Why? Because back then that kind of stuff rarely happened. So when it did, it was like thunder.

AEW has the talent and creative freedom to make The Godfather, but they keep making Dude, Where's My Car.
You are speaking sense, but it goes against the “AEW is AWESOME!!!” narrative. Their intentions are what counts, not the effect. They want to get everyone and everything over, and by gum they’ll succeed even if it’s just in their most hardcore fans’ eyes.
