    I'm pretty sure there's a TK interview (or one of the EVPs) from very early on where they scoffed at the idea of casual fans and how they don't want people that are just going to stick around when times are hot or turn off during big sporting events. So, I believe this is a very real thing backstage at AEW. They either don't care to have casual fans or they think the idea of having them is pointless.

    AEW is built from top to bottom for the hardcore, Wrestling Observer reading fans that complained about John Cena's push for 10 years. Tony Khan isn't interesting in appealing to people that don't watch New Japan or vote in The Observer Awards. That's literally the point of AEW and always has been.

    AEW cater really to 2 people.... tony khan and dave meltzer! The wrestlers only try to do 5 star matches to appease dave. They care very little about what the audience want to see it's what tk wants to see. The bucks care about holding down every tag team down so they can be seen as the best tag team ever. Sadly they are no where near close every time I watch a bucks match its a car crash. And with regards to omega its just how many highspots can I fit in one match I'm on the cornette opinion of twinkletoes mcfingerbang. I think he's jerky and does the most ridiculous facial expressions ever

    There’s a smugness to them of like “oh you’ve never even watched new Japan” (even though they haven’t either other than clips) and this is shown in their product where guys debut without a build. Also, there’s a significant lack of a “cool factor” in their product, where guys who watch UFC, football etc come across a wrestling show and think “who’s this guy” and live vicariously through them. TK has no clue at all what really works and has surrounded himself with yes men like Jericho who are milking him for money before they go back for a HOF WWE run

    I didn’t know Kenny was the cleaner in Japan. I had no idea why he came out with a broom. I didn’t know Punk came out to his old ROH music when he wrestled MJF. No one tells us.
    They expect us to follow new Japan, ROH history, and know all the indies.
    No one explains anything to us. They expect us to know. I don’t know when guys tagged in the indies. I don’t know when guys fought in the indies. You have to tell me.
    Someone shows up and sock face yells his name like I’m supposed to know who they are. Like Luther or pizza cutter guy. I don’t know any of them. You have to tell me who they are.

    I’m a casual fan. I don’t have time to watch a million indie shows a week. I watch the one or two shows a week if I have time. If I don’t I’ll watch some videos during the week when I have time to know what’s going.
    It’s one thing if your company’s budget is scaled to the audience you have and you can profit off that. But if you’re spending money like AEW does, you NEED the casual audience to survive or you will fail. I don’t want that. No one wants that. And it’s just small things they need to change to have the casual audience keep up. I don’t want to spend my free time on Reddit and cagematch to understand who the people on the show are. Just give me a little promo or video package to explain who some of these people are are. Little things. I find it harder and harder to watch each week because I don’t have a reason to care about the people on the show.
