      Endless garbage matches and multi man matches. They suck so bad. The first time you see it, it’s cool and different. After you see 4 or 5 and you know the tricks, what’s the point in watching? You can call every thing that will happen before they even ring the bell. Instant skips for me.

Any storyline they try to do is either bad or it's a halfassed angle just to get to the match.

    In my opinion, the fans are the biggest problem AEW has. Their attitude turns off the casual wrestling fans from even giving the product a chance. I've criticized WWE and other promotions, but I've NEVER had one of their fans threaten to hack me or beat me up if we saw each other on the streets over my critique of storylines or how a wrestler is being used.

They are the opposite of intimidating to the point where it’s pathetic and I actually laugh out loud when I see them doing anything m, especially die laughing when they are trying to aft scary and tough. That’s just one of many huge problems ALL Petite Wrestling has. Boney Tony believing he’s a combo of Bischoff, McMahon, and Paul Heyman is another big one. Him actually saying that fantasy booking on message boards and writing fake shows as a kid “gave him a good feel for what real booking is like” 😂. He also said writing for 3 people gave him experience to know weather the fans liked what he was writing for certain fantasy matches and helped him learn if his characters were “getting over” or not”. He actually said that stuff. Smh. Hey Tony, what fans?! What characters?! What experience?! It’s one of the hands down most delusional things I’ve ever heard someone say or any subject.

    Khan wanted to be an alternative, and it worked when Vinny Mac was ripping up scripts and putting on the same type of show. But now with Triple H and Shawn Michaels running WWE And NXT, they are incorporating different types of wrestling for the varying pallets of fans, and that is putting TK in a position to pivot to garner attention rather than stick with the original plan. Also, it doesnt help signing former WWE talent that relies solely on the WWE creative to get over, and it doesnt quite translate that way in AEW where they are given the freedom to create, something they are not used to doing imo.

    When I first got into AEW, it was mainly because of the matches. I can't say it was for the stories. I started watching during the pandemic, and it rekindled my interest in pro wrestling. But eventually, I shifted to WWE because their stories captivated me more. I do enjoy wrestling and even perform professionally. I watch wrestling to learn. AEW has some good content, but it also has some dumb stuff. It’s not about choosing WWE over AEW. WWE does safer stuff in the ring, but it's not boring to me. It's their storytelling that grabs my attention.
    For pay-per-views, I recently watched a WWE one because I know the storylines are continuing, and there's decent to good wrestling, depending on who’s involved. In AEW, the only thing I was looking forward to was Swerve vs. Ospreay because they’re great wrestlers, and I like the little story between them. But overall, it wasn’t enough to make me buy the pay-per-view, especially considering the price. I’ve bought a few AEW pay-per-views in the past but ended up disappointed, so now I just wait for highlights online.
    AEW undoubtedly has some of the best wrestlers and puts on great matches. But great matches alone aren't enough to keep people interested. You need engaging drama and good storytelling to keep viewers hooked. That’s just my perspective.

    The problem with AEW is that Tony Khan only considers the opinions of die-hard wrestling nerds as valid. If you're booking to get stars from Meltzer and Cage Match ratings, then you're excluding everyone except the message board trolls. The Meltzer/Alvarez argument about dvr-ing overruns was the perfect crystallisation of their problem. Enthusiasts will go to those lengths to ensure they will catch the end of the show, casuals and new watchers will go "oh, that sucks" and move on to something else.

    TK needs to think of Meltzer and many of the critics online the way you look at Rotten Tomatoes for movies. Just because Rotten Tomatoes gave a movie a great review, doesn’t mean fans are automatically gonna watch it and enjoy it. The opinion of a critic, is just an opinion. The only opinion that should matter, is the opinion of the fans, they are the ones who assist you in paying the bills.

    AEW has their hardcore fans. A lot of the people who are not enjoying the product ( me included), and are speaking out. We wanted and still want them to succeed. Unfortunately Tony will not listen to anyone including people who work for him. I used to feel bad for the TK billionaire, but he doesn't care about putting out an entertaining product. Swerve, Okada, MJF, and Osprey should be in a feud with 4 other wrestlers. Swerve and Starks, Okada and Miro, or Brian Cage, MJF and Wardlow, Osprey and Brian Danielson,, actually that should be building for Danielson's last match. Start a love triangle with Jungle Boy, Anna Jay, and another man or woman. Christian and Edge vs Bucks, FTR, and others to prove who is the best.
    I think if TK was a self made billionaire he would approach his company differently.

Tony is losing because he’s not good at this. End of story.

    I don’t really see AEW having that many problems. I quit watching wrestling about 14 years ago because of how cheesy it got and how bad and cheesy wwe was getting with the PG era after growing up watching WCW/WWF I just couldn’t anymore. After seeing what TNA was doing, WWE seemed boring. Then hogan came 🤢AEW got me back into wrestling in 2019. I still can’t manage to watch raw or smackdown bc every time I watch it, it is extremely cheesy and overproduced and not really directed to someone my age. So I know a lot of the wrestling media and former wrestlers aren’t a fan of how AEW is but the reality is I wouldn’t watch any major wrestling promotions if it weren’t for AEW so I do love it as it is. Idk if it’ll blow up as much as it was when punk joined but I still love the promotion and truly wouldn’t watch wrestling if it weren’t for AEW. (Minor shot but punk is not a good worker whatsoever now and his matches outside of mjf in aew were meh.)

    The problem is and always has been the booking. Tony has the talent on his roster. He had a chance with Wardlow, Mark Briscoe, and Eddie Kingston. He had a shot with The Acclaimed. Guys like Will Hobbs and even Nick Comoroto would be easy to get over. Just hire someone to talk for them and smash them over. It's not rocket science. Daniel Garcia's real life story is enough to get him over as a babyface, especially if you booked him right. Nic Nemeth could get over if they had spent some time on him. I could even buy into a character like Orange Cassidy if Tony had given him a backstory and a reason for existing. The booking is killing AEW. Tony claims to be a superfan, be he doesn't seem to understand booking at all.
