You know, I sometimes hear people disparage AEW by calling it All Friends Wrestling, and I've never understood it.

Who wouldn't want to work for a company full of people they like?

Like, it they were only hiring people based on being friends, that would be a problem, but what seems to happen is that people join the company, have a positive time, and make friends there.

A lot of people online, especially twitter, are joyless and miserable

Great numbers for NXT this week. Really trash numbers for AEW. Hate to see it happen. But Kenny, Cody, and the Bucks just aren’t interesting to the mainstream audience meanwhile NXT is knocking it out of the park with LA Knight and that ghost thing. AEW is lucky that NXT is granting some mercy by moving because they’re on the verge of getting obliterated by the better product

I’ll miss AEW but they catered to smarks too much in their booking. If you look at Raw, it’s booked for non smarks and it’s been a huge success for over 30 years.

I guess some people may see the lower production values of AEW and how some of the wrestlers are older fatter versions of how they looked in WWE 15 years ago and feel depressed a bit? The dark hand of father time reaching out from the grave? And then the other wrestlers aren't exactly well known so the average viewer might be like, meh, I don't need this.

Makes sense, the casual viewers aren’t gonna recognize the wrestlers who have only been on AEW tv for the last year and a half. But they will recognize the wrestlers who have been on WWE tv for the last year and a half

things that caused the ratings to PLUMMET:

mox's gear
too many factions
too many unknown guys that weren't in wwe
kenny omega's title reign
the forbidden door
blood
too many guys that were in wwe
i don't know who these people on my tv are!!!!
catering to fans of the show
too many dives

I live AEW so far, think it generally owns. BUT. The lights out women's match was badly booked and exposed the business. Credit to both performers but it was way OTT and I would have preferred them to face each other in a slower paced main event match w psychology that let both of them spotlight their skills w/o the horribly dangerous spots.

you needed to build your gimmick longer

Yeah, I don't think Vince has ever really given a poo poo about AEW and might have just seen it as a challenge for his failson-in-law to overcome.

Vince spent time on an investor call trying to scare off advertisers from AEW so that doesn’t really track

you are right. Cody saw Penta was getting over as a singles guy so he had to banish him back to the tag realm

Just try to book the lead up to Cody VS QT without a steamroll victory over Penta where Cody no sells an arm breaker and immediately wins with a roll up afterwards. Can’t do it. Can’t be done.

i like cody and it was cool when he did defended the tnt title every week. a lot of people seem to want weekly defenses back so the only logical answer is to put the tnt title back on cody

by "matches" are you correctly assuming that the final cody vs QT match will get 5 stars?

AEW is saving the use of a dream sequence for when Cody wrestles a shadowy figure named Legacy for 45 minutes across different NWA and WCW arenas, with Downstait playing his theme the entire time
