The modern style is just not going to work for me. But I think they could choose different people to take the spots and fill two hours way better. And agree with your thoughts on booking.
You know I totally agree. The modern style of wrestling is "better" in some ways, imagine if you were the kid version of you and were able to see a 2022 Dynamite match after watching years of WWF Superstars. You'd be blown the fuck away. But yeah we get that every single week, match after match in both WWE and AEW and anywhere else.

I call it Hyper Speed wrestling. I feel like it really got to this level with Ricochet and Ospreay had that Super Juniors match that pissed Vader off so bad. Since then NJPW went to hyper speed for almost every big match, then ROH copied and PWG took it to a whole new level. It seeped into NXT and took over and of course worked it's way to the main roster by default.

You can't change it at this point it just won't go back. For me I can still enjoy Hyper Speed wrestling but it does match a two hour show a bit up and down for me. However generally speaking AEW PPV's which are all on hyper speed are fucking awesome. I think at least they are only doing 4 a year so it really feels like "something special" to have a 4 hour wrestlefuck fest on speed.
