The Downfall of AEW in 2023 

All Elders Wrestling.

Biggest problem with AEW is that TK has followed the TNA model of "challenging" WWE. And that's not a good thing, which means TK needs to hype up "big" announcements every other week

For me, everything changed when TK bought ROH. It was around that time when quality started to go down hill. Too many titles and wrestlers came into the picture leaving AEW bloated. AEW had a chance to fix this when they added collision but they keep featuring the same people, and it's very frustrating.

The absolute biggest problem that AEW has at the moment, is that the owner himself, just doesn't know when to put his head down and work to improve the product, and to turn off Twitter. If there is absolutely one thing that Tony Khan needs to take from the WWE, it's the fact that Triple H just gets on with it, and doesn't spend way too long on Twitter, having arguments with people.

It sounds awful, but seeing Paul Wight limp out onto the stage was the final nail in the coffin for me. AEW sucks now.

I swear they signed Ric Flair knowing that he may probably die in the next few years and thus be "AEW talent Ric Flair passes away."

Aaaaaand WWE has Punk again, Thats the nail

Cody knew to get the hell up outta there

For >1 year, AEW has been sitting on the hottest angle in wrestling since Montreal 1997 (i.e. Punk vs Elite) and has seemingly refused to do anything with it. Regardless of the reason, it makes Tony look like an incompetent booker and the Elite look petty and jealous. Punk isn't perfect, but he's made a lot of workers in AEW look really good (Eddie, Darby, MJF, and Ricky immediately come to mind). If you want to ask "why is AEW struggling so much?" you can start there.

If AEW does end up like WCW, let me leave a little saying: History doesn’t repeat itself, it rhymes.

Tony shifted the focus of the company from a variety show where you could follow several ongoing storylines that had something for everyone to overexposing the acts Tony likes the most at the cost of everything else. The injuries hurt but not letting the next man or woman up to take a bigger role has also hurt.

I guess CM Punk wasnt the problem after All Huh? 😂😂

as you said aew was going to change and it can continue to change. WWE, Impact, ROH, GCW, aren't always perfect. We can't get mad at one side and compliment the other (toni storm) who is giving full range. Theres gonna be peaks and valleys and hopefully from response they will change things. The sad truth is injuries just mean they have to do something because all promotions need viewership.

Once AEW let Marko Stunt leave, it was all downhill.

I think what AEW need is for Tony Khan to stop doing everything himself. He can stay as CEO and focus on the business side of the company and then hire a Creative Director, an Executive Producer and a General Manager. Quality started to dwindle when the EVPs lost creative control.

The first 2 years of AEW were just amazing exciting matches, debuts and moments: Moxley vs Omega, Young Bucks vs Lucha Bros, Hangman vs Danielson, Cody’s TNT Championship open challenges. CM Punk returning to wrestling after 7 years, Adam Cole debuting, Bryan Danielson return as the American Dragon, Hangman and Kenny story, Punk and MJF story. Now we have Ric Flair most likely gonna have a match and almost die, Paul Wight teaming with Jericho and Omega when he can barely walk and Tony Khan having announcements every 2 weeks that he hypes up so much and then it just be something he can tweet about on twitter

The hiring Flair thing was mostly a shock because until now AEW has been really good about not working with sex pests, like when they got rid of that british goth dude that wore the gas mask thing to the ring (forget his name, and don't care to google it) - Hell, Tony Kahn even was ripping on McMahon's allegations during his twitter rants recently... To then turn around and sign Flair feels like AEW turning it's back on it's previously stated values.

I think the shift began really when Cody Rhodes left and CM Punk’s first drama which only got worst with the second drama that took placed. First Cody has embarrassed AEW cause you see WWE making him a main event talent. Next they made waves when they brought in CM Punk and it was working for them he was their world champion then they had the drama with him and the elite and he hurt his leg and was out with a long injury. He then came back and what do they do they put him on the C show just as he was getting his footing again then the Perry drama happened and he’s fired. This was their biggest draw and Tony blew it. AEW doesn’t protect their aging talents either. Bryan Danielson has a messed up arm, Jon Moxley nearly got a broken neck against Fenix, Alex Reyonds was literally knocked out in a match and they were dragging his body around the mat which could been very dangerous for his health. AEW I believe needs new leadership. Tony Khan be a silent owner, hire someone to be your GM and i don’t mean a storyline on tv role I mean put someone in charge. Tony has shown he can’t do it.

You know what’s more surprising than Ric Flair becoming All Elite? Prior to this, Tony Khan was bashing Vince McMahon (as usual), while citing WWE’s many scandals, including the infamous Plane Ride From Hell. And we all know the people involved in that event.

I absolutely fell in love with AEW at the start of its inception, but you could see train really start to derail after Cody left. I personally gave up on it around the time of the media scrum last year and while I follow tabs on it, I get the sense that it has gotten worse rather than improved and is gradually losing its identity. For now, I'll stick with WWE & NJPW

I miss old AEW 😢

just a few things i'd love to see form a e w in 2024. 1. smaller ppv cards. i mean look at wwe fast lane. it was a decent B level ple, had the right amount of matches, and gave each match time to breath, and tell the story it needed. when you have the 1 hour buy in with 2-4 matches crammed in, and then you put on a 3 to 4 1/2 and sometimes 5 hour ppv with 10+ matches it feels rushed. maybe do a 6 card ppv with 2 matches on the buy in. 2. please tell excaliber to SHUT UP EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. every week i watch i leave it on mute. i was enjoying Kevin and Nigel on collision, but of course tony wasn't happy, and shoves the other tony for a 3 man crew where 2 was perfect. 3. STOP ALL THE POINTLESS DISTRACTIONS. maybe enforce those table spots as a DQ finish, or JUST STOP ALL THE SILLY BULL. i want them to make it in the long run, but every week it just keeps showing this is a indie show that somehow got a tv deal. 4. please hire someone to run the show, and let tony just be the business guy. i swear if regal was the one running the show, and not tony then he would have gladly stayed a little longer instead of seeing the writing on the wall, and getting out of dodge while he could. 5. they have such a big massive roster, and yet they keep shoving the same old same old every week down our throats. i think some are as tired of orange as they were of roman during the mid to late 2010s. 6. i get blood can be a good thing when the story calls for it, but seeing it a lot from MOX just makes it feel pointless. try saving the juice for when it is called for. like during the final battle of a story. 7. personal thing here. PLEASE GET RODDY OFF THE TV. 8. i know R O H has / had a tv deal, but maybe get a new deal, and really get R O H out there. i really don't see anyone outside hardcore fans paying 10 a month to watch it online. 9. finally just stopping fixating on the wwe. if tony does'nt view them as computation then stop. focus on making your show the best it can be. if tony does consider them competition then he better up the game it he wants to play.

Ric Flair's experience could be absolutely invaluable in an agent/booker or back-stage role. The man is literally pro wrestling in the flesh. But Ric Flair gonna Ric Flair and if he can, he will absolutely be in front of a camera whenever he can be.

I think Tony Khan needs to get some people to help him write storylines and stuff like that, it is also hard to know what's going on sometimes, at least for me. Is ROH part of AEW? Or are they different? It can be hard to distinguish for a casual like me.

This video just made me realize that Thunder Rosa has been essentially a ghost since her injury.

This is what happens when you chase TV deals. TV companies will dictate what superstars that they want and how long do they want it to last. Similar to how FOX wanted Undertaker, Rhonda Rousey, Tyson Fury and Rock to feature regularly on Smackdown.

The 5 major reasons behind AEW's not much valuable as it was earlier.. 1) Control in the hands of Elite.. 2) Firing the money making machine: CM Punk.. 3) Clueless direction..no compelling storylines n' feuds.. 4) More than enough signing Ex WWE employees.. 5) Injuries..

CM Punk is now with WWE, u need to update this LOL

The Toni Storm-Saraya competition is something I had never really looked at but it’s spot on. Like, I don’t even enjoy “Timeless” Toni Storm but because she is getting it so over you have to at least respect the shit out of it. I know Edge and Christian are in a similar boat because Christian is exploring the deep end of his heel character and Adam Copeland feels like an Edge who can’t call himself Edge. My biggest issue with AEW is that there’s no week to week, show to show consistency. I see Daniel Garcia on every show every week but Miro appears twice a year? The Don Callus Family was positioned as a huge faction that is sometimes on Collision sometimes on Dynamite and sometimes aren’t on for weeks. WWE is super formulaic but McDonalds and Coca Cola are formulaic too. Ultimately though I feel like AEW is like watching a terrible movie with amazing actors right now but there is so much talent it feels too big to fail

If MJF actually leaves AEW in 2024 then I’m officially done with them.

AEW is starting to remind me of TNA. Guys like Christian, Angle, and 3D did things right by elevating the "native" talent like AJ and MCMG. But over time, they started acquiring more vet who were about themselves and it started losing identity.

The biggest problem imo is not enough writers. You wanna play an AEW drinking game that guarantee's death? Take a shot every time someone's cutting a promo in the ring, then the heels come in and pile on, then some unrelated parties come out to stop them. It's so predictable, and I can't stand watching it anymore.

I can't wait until the Dark Side of the Ring episode called "Adderall & Hugs: The Tony Kahn Story."

AEW's biggest problem is Tony Khan is a wrestling fan first and the owner of a major promotion a distant second

I think their decline very much comes down to TK panicking, and not liking losing. WWE is the hottest they’ve been in over 20 years, HHH massively improved creative, morale very high and they’re making more money than ever before. Since AEW’s inception, they were always the ‘babyface’ company, an alternative and TK thrived on it. Now he finds himself on the other end side of the road, and (as proven by his endless Twitter meltdowns) TK is not a very good loser, and has started making more rash and bizarre decisions to try and revert the course, but if anything he’s made it worse

I feel like AEW has two big problems they need to address... 1) They need to scale back on the amount of television that they are putting out. End Rampage. Maybe even end Collision. Focus on making Dynamite as good as it can possibly be every single week. I'm not sure how much TV that they are obligated to do every week under their TV deal but if it's more than one show they need to find some alternative to the current format because they're spreading themselves too thin filling the current TV. Maybe they can do a behind the scenes access show or something. Some alternative. 2) Focus more on character creation and development. Some fans may not realize it, some might not admit it.... but we all love wrestling because of the stories. One of AEW's hottest stars right now is Toni Storm and that's because there is an actual character there that people connect with. I know AEW wants to put on 5 star Meltzer matches but there needs to be substance behind it or fans won't remember. And I think that the two problems are connected. If you scale back TV then I think you'll see improvement in the character development because only the best is going to get on the show. For a long time fans have wanted more TV, everyone on the show, everyone having titles because "they deserve it". But WWE is proving right now that less is more. Quality over quantity.

Also, it wasn't mentioned in the video, but I wonder if the reality show making 90% of the people they focused on look like a dingus also hurt. I think the only person who came out unscathed from it reputation-wise was Adam Cole. It was right when the company was starting to get the reputation of being by & for a certain small clique instead of a general audience, and instead of fighting that to show it's indeed a professional & serious company, you got Britt mocking someone for not epidural-ing their way through terrible injuries and watered-down Being The Elite skits enforcing that AEW is just as immature & unserious-in-a-bad-way as it was starting to feel. It really did feel like Punk's assessment that he worked with "children" was correct, and everything since August has borne that out, too.

I don't want to see him wrestle but I'm fine with Ric being a manager type. Aww still has that spark for me. I watch both WWE and aew but I've still found aew to be more entertaining.

I attended two shows in Toronto the past year. Dynamite following Brawl Out was okay for what it was and Forbidden Door is their best PPV of the year…since then. It’s been okay. Still good spots but yeah.

The original sin for me was TK stunnborness of refusing to hire competent bookers/executives and instead trying to micro everything despite being an amateur. He was always bad but now he clearly lost any control and his own employees are basically puppeting him left and right to hire their friends, then their friends shills to hire their other friends too, spiraling in a long list of nonsensical hirings that bloated the roster over and over.

When Cody left, I believe it started the downfall. And I too love AEW because WWE hasn't fixed any of the problems that would compel me to watch their product again. I mean Logan Paul winning a championship and Roman is still on top while I'm here waiting for Cody to finally get his Story completed. Meanwhile, in AEW, we have a Senior Citizen who refuses to retire, The Big Slow wrestling again even though he is a broadcaster (put the guy on Rampage or something), the women's division is middling at best....Sorry Shida. Bryan Danielson getting injured TWICE facing Kazuchika Okada (I think it is a sign ) Tony needs to step away from booking and signing folks willy-nilly like a Secret Santa.

Anyone know the name of the background song that starts at 5:08 ?

Christian was an exception to these older people signing. Hes better than ever.

I’m not an aew fan but I have occasionally tuned in to a ppv or a weekly program because they have had some banger matches. And the fact that they work with other promotions is a definite plus. But they have definitely fell off from what they used to be.

I agree with this video for sure. Its been disappointing lately.

Tony khan is ultimate problem with aew. He’s not a good leader. He is not a good promoter and booker. He just books matches he wants to see. He was easily influence by the elite and Jericho for several years. The first 18 months the take talent evaluation and signings were just putrid. Once wwe released people and are signed some of them I thought the company would do better. He buried most of them. He pushed skinny and small guys like hook, orange cassidy, jungle boy, Danny Garcia, and wheeler yuta. And most of these guys haven’t progressed. He’s destroyed ROH. Most of the former champions are low mid card or jobbers on the main roster. Castle, lethal, and Briscoe could have helped aew but they rarely win matches. He squandered punk and danielson. Strong, cole, kingdom, and many others jokes. Joe is the only one he hasn’t book too bad but he’s disappeared a few times due to injury before this world title run.

The fact that they fired CM punk and still kept Jungle Douche on the roster began the downfall

Turning into 2000s wcw.. a big issue is they keep pushing ppl who r just not good but guys like swerve just kinda sit in the mid card

what you said in the beginning of the video probably explains why i never understood AEW. I used to watch wrestling years ago but then i stopped for one reason or another. But then i started watching it again when pandemic hit and that's the first time i ever heard about AEW. So I gave it a shot and kept up with their show for a few months but i always just found it inferior to WWE product evven though it really wasn't good in 2020 either. But you mentioned in the beginnning the feeling AEW had in it's first few months, i missed out on that. And because of that, because i haven't been bored of WWE years prior hoping for an alternative and finally getting it, because i didn't have any hype going into it, i never found it any good. And what might be happening now is that, on top of all the problems with Tony being Tony, people's hype and feelings towards AEW faded and they start realizing all of its flaws. And the fact that WWE really stepped up their game recently definitely isn't helping

There’s been a glitch with the RU-vid like button again

What's that song? 5:17

Now it’s even WORST 😂😂😂 Cm Punk is officially back in WWE. AEW is slowly destroying themselves 🤷‍♂️

Really what is happening as much as WWE says they have no idea what's going on in aew we don't watch well I can tell you the talent does and they all stepped their game up on all shows and now WWE is the better show just like with wcw or any sports team you need someone to go against or someone chasing you and AEW definitely did something they made WWE great again

Ric flair barely has a multi year contract with life

i love wrestling again because of AEW, when they first started it was so fresh and great to watch…but after Tony Khan hired 90% of NXT wrestlers…it started to go downhill…i dont mind him hiring talents from any promotions…my problem is him hiring from wwe and then instantly putting rocket on their backs n puts them in main event title matches n even putting aew’s home growns as their stepping stones. The AEW 2023 is so hard to watch now…

Hiring mediocre wrestlers as your evps wasnt a good start

Add cm punk going back WWE

AEW is having problems post-Punk. He made such a stink and was toxic, fans were just left grossed out and have (temporarily) checked out. The fans hated Cm Punk and his crybaby toxic antics. Period. However, the Young Bucks are taking some time off, they are going to come back as the hottest Heel stable in the industry when they align with Brandon Culter, so we do have that to look forward to. The "Dark Elite" vs "the Good Elite" will be a really awesome program and I am looking forward to it and when they finally merge back into the Elite, WHOA!!! Maybe then we will finally get the Elite vs the Dark Order program that fans have been itching to see. Imagine them dueling over the Trios titles! The Tag titles! The AEW World Title once Kenny or Adam retake it? Niiiice! AEW is set to take off in 2024

I hope AEW can get back on track because I i don't want WWE to fall back into its old ways without competition.

Always find it shocking how CM Punk leaving IMMEDIATELY soured the product. No doubt he was responsible for half the backstage drama, but I feel like All In at Wembley still felt like a huge show, but pretty much straight afterwards no body cared about AEW anymore. Bringing in people like Ric Flair doesn’t help of course, it just makes you look even more like WCW than you already are. Personally I’m waiting for the major AEW announced MAJOR new signing of Hulk Hogan and then we get Hogan vs Flair AGAIN in an era that neither should be wrestling

Cody was the best thing to happen to AEW behind the scenes. As soon as he left it went to crap.

AEW is the perfect example of, if the wrestling fans on the internet run a show, the kind with opinion on everything, those who cheer for a wrestler to get over and then boo him when he gets a championship reign. And judging by how the owner of that company takes everything said on the internet so seriously, I'd say you can just connect the dots, dude's just a wrestling fan running a show, but how far can you take your fantasy booking, nah not much and it shows. In just 5 years time, this company is already on it's downfall.

AEW is starting to look like 2000 WCW more and more.

I think AEW is now finally starting to feel the problem of hiring a ton of talent that they didn't plan on pushing that has really long term contracts AEW has the talent, they just have this problem of "we need to keep everyone happy by giving them midcard belts to be happy about because there's so many of them that will never get to become our top or secondary champion" I mean they have Keith Lee, Miro, Cladio, Joe, Malakai, Murphy, Saraya, Bryan, and the list goes on that people say "They are WWE top champions if WWE pushed them better" and here they all are in AEW fighting for midcard belts nobody wants

They need to focus more attention on Platinum Max Caster! The first million+ viewers segment! He’s a total homegrown talent, likeMJF!!

As someone who ain't an AEW fan at all, I do take notice on some things. Their PPV at Wembley Stadium was a very big deal according to internet fans and seeing a few highlights from the show, it indeed looked like a big deal. I thought the signing of Edge was a big deal but why is there so many random ass teams and random ass tag matches? I don't know it's just kinda weird. But if Tony is a good business man, then he'll find a way outta this. There's good days, there's bad days. WWE was really low just a couple of years ago and everyone kept sayin "WWE is dead" like clearly it's not especially seeing how well they're doing now. Also the 90s was fuckin awful most of the decade for WWE (WWF), but they stood alive and revived themselves with the Attitude Era. Point is, there's ups and downs with every wrestling company. It's just up to Tony Khan if he wants to keep his company alive. As a pro wrestling boss and leader, he's a joke. No one respects his sissy fanboy self cuz he ain't a strong leader. Vince was a strong leader that's why he was way more respected. He just also abused his power by giving us shitty wrestling but anyways y'all should get it. Tony gotta survive and make AEW great again.

Brian Danielson just got hurt again lol

MJF, orange Cassidy and Christian are the biggest redeeming features on AEW right now

Tony just keeps signing people and increasing its bloated ass roster

Is there any news about Giulia signing situation?

I agree, the run up to Revolution 2020 was the best TV I’ve seen in a while. I’ve given up in 2023 and much rather watch WWE now

Two words: Audience Capture. AEW’s core audience expectations isn’t compatible with a mainstream audience. Khan is incapable of running a successful promotion AND keeping his fans happy.

here after punks return 🤘

The quality of production on TV is not it for me. Can't hear the crowd properly or the mic.

Aew now is basically tna 2.0. All they're missing are scott steiner, kurt angle, kevin nash, abyss, and buh buh ray to complete the transformation.

GAYEW was always crap. It's just become too much of an embarrassment that now even marks can't defend it anymore

Wow! AEW sure did downfall in 2023! Another banger Tom & Greg!

Nothing about CM Punk or Thunder Rosa?? WTF?!!

I feel like I'm finally just falling out of wrestling in general. Feel like I get most excited for Wrestle Kingdom and that's it. I miss Lucha Underground.

The buddy-buddy thing with MJF and Adam Cole and firing CM Punk were the final nail on the coffin for me.

I started watching AEW in mid-2021, and while I had my complaints & dislikes (like the dentist being the "pillar" of the women's division despite being mid at best), I was LOVING it. I drifted from wrestling in mid/late 99, and AEW brought me back (cuz they were chosen to honor the memory of why I drifted away from wrestling). It had everything - technical guys, goofy guys, high flyers, combos thereof... it was everything I missed when WWE had become the only easily accessible game in town. It got me back into wrestling big time, including playing catchup with what I missed in the heyday of RoH. And then this past year, they just shot themselves in the foot. A best-of-seven trios tournament that showed vividly that only one member of The Elite was any good & he's still recovering from injuries, so he's only at half-power. A focus on talent becoming weirdly sitcom-ized versions of themselves & losing whatever else they had (Hangman & his "I have anxiety" shtick, Mox bleeding every single match, etc). A women's card increasingly centered around a handful of women, and all of them have some variation of bog-standard "mean girl" for a character, not helped by the shows limiting them to one match her show. Storylines would start and then veer off wildly in less interesting directions. Other storylines would never, ever end & felt like they were continuing out of spite (see anything with the JAS). The loss of the YT shows to highlight the quirkier & lesser known talents in the ring instead of the same dozen or so people. And that's all BEFORE we get to the double whammy of anything to do with Punk (or anyone on the roster who's cool with him) and the online conduct of both the people in the company & the vocal fanbase. The past August actually gave me flashbacks to a personal incident when Britt & Saraya basically led a Twitter dogpile against an indie wrestler cuz she said her experience with filming AEW Dark wasn't great. This only spurred on MORE harassment of MORE targets, fans & wrestlers, after Punk was fired, to the point some random woman was doxxed in "defense" of Hangman (apparently his fans think someone flipping him off is a threat of violence, and his "don't do that, that makes me saaaaad" response to it is just pathetic). Tony's meltdown on Twitter, followed by a very public act of moral hypocrisy, was when a lot of others saw what a mess it was becoming as well, at least, but that doesn't make me feel good in any way. I'm back into wrestling thanks to AEW, but I won't watch them again until they learn to actually act like a professional business & not a clique of overripe 10th graders desperate for internet clout. Maybe seeing all but the most stannish of their online base object to Flair will spur this, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. At least now I can find way more indie & foreign wrestling than I ever knew existed as an alternative.

How the f did they go from Mox v Omega in 2019 to Mjf vs Jay? Damn.

once they got rid of the tunnels it was just downhill from there 😓

I understand that everyone is hating on aew but I don't really care because wrestling is wrestling and I love WWE but wrestling is wrestling

AEW Became TNA 2.0 lol

Stuff like this always makes me wonder if Ric Flair is a young and debuting wrestler, would be be as over as he was in the past? Or will he fall out of relevency easily?

Triple H taking over creative kinda hurt them because they now don’t have the specter of VKM looming as a drawing factor for fans.

It went from an alternative of WWE to alternate WWE.

AEW died after Cody left

Dude i started a JOW file to play as AEW and the roster is like 255 characters 😆

Too many people put AEW on a level that they didn't earn.A lot of what they do isn't wrestling it's exposing the business It's no logic to it nor is there any great story telling.

TK booking has killed AEW

As an AEW fan, i feel like there's going tp be "bad" years and missed opportunities just like any other wrestling company. I do believe that TK's the man with a plan but it's not going to be an easy recovery over the next few months.

no doubt khan is gonna book ric flair in a match soon. the man’s had so many “retirement” matches to the point where it’s comical.

I dunno. Tonight's card is not a good one. It's almost all "one good person vs one person no one cares about."

Aew hasn't felt the same since Cody left

the card does look pretty solid. mjf vs Daniel could be a good match, but i swear they need to stop with the dean malenko dance gimmick. swerve i think will be the one to dethrone mjf come 2024. joe and keith just looks good. 2 big guys who can move going at it. julia is championship bound, and red.. well good to have her back. personally i dont care for shida or tony right now. i feel they are just biting their time till jamie can come back. when she does watch her win, and then start her vs brit... you know the feud that should've probably been done long long ago before she got unfortunately injured

Again..this is how we felt about TNA wrestling when started to hit it stride..2005-2009...then we'll yall know..at the end of 2009...I don't have to say anymore...AEW is just a company that will give you good matches and PPVs..but not much else and with WWE recent signings..Of Jade and Punk...they got all the momentum going forward for the next 4 months..

I first started watching AEW on Wednesday 23 October 2023 thinking it was another WWE product or something which I was wrong and for the first time heard about a guy named Tony Khan. Now at first Tony Khan did not impress me. In fact, I was quiet embarrassed for him when he first gone out on stage (not in the ring) to take shots at a young MJF at the time (I think) back in 2020. Tony Khan's ability on the mic was enough for me to cover my face with one hand and mute or turn down the volume with the remote with the other. Over the years, has the show or shows, nowadays, gotten any better . . . no, I don't think so. AEW presents the same wrestlers time and time again. Very rarely a new wrestler is introduced to the audience and usually they get killed off very quickly and go nowhere as the show progresses. AEW's Women's Division is non-existent. And so on . . . the product speaks for itself. When a wrestling company starts promoting d**** or b***** almost daily, it's a sign of bad things to come and nothing good to look forward to in terms of storyline telling, just a bunch of ''I'm gonna . . . '' stuff . . . That's my take on AEW . . . 🤔🤔🤨🤨🙄🙄

Ric Flair signing is going to be the finger poke of doom for AEW.
