@@thomass789 You're thinking of this wrong. If you want to think economics, then picture market share. AEW is sucking up all the attention, both press/commentary and audience from MLW, ROH, Impact, etc. If AEW goes away, that 700k demo will be better off watching those other promotions who actually need the attention and are actually doing more with their limited resources. That also brings me to why people are so mad at AEW: they _could_ have been so much better and done so much right, but went out of their way to under-deliver and do goofy shit. Organizations like AEW do not deserve success and those who feel this way need to "vote with their wallets". The top two orgs WWE and AEW having success is extremely detrimental to pro-wrestling. The only alternative to WWE's B.S. is also doing B.S. is a bad thing; it would be better if the alternative did things better and reaped the rewards for being the 2nd main org, now that would inspire other orgs to replicate the same. Instead other orgs are being incentivized to replicate B.S.

Dave's mental gymnastics to almost not see the issues with aew and their booking, is astounding it took him this long to acknowledge that there's any issue. And anytime there's been any criticism even the slightest, he acts like someone just took a baseball bat to his wife in front of him. I kind of wonder if his blind loyalty to aew, and his behavior on Twitter have in some way completely diminished any credibility let alone legacy he once had.

I think it will be interesting to hear what people say about AEW in 5 years when people start getting released. AEW has many problems, and while many segments are entertaining in themselves the show as a whole is definitely bipolar. There's no sense of progression through out the show like how it was back in the 90s. Both WCW and WWF when you watched an episode of Nitro or RAW there was a sense of progression. Like in Nitro it was talking about what the nefarious NWO will do next or what will Sting do to stop them while in WWF it was about Mr. McMahon trying to screw over Austin. Each episode there was a main thread that united the segments. You still had your underneath guys having matches and even angles but the announcers always let you know about the big picture. If I was Tony Khan the first thing I would change is the in-between segments. The connective tissue of the show. Have the show open not with a match, if you have to do a match make it a quick one but Open the show with the champion and his crew who is Kenny Omega right now doing something heelish. Q1 Have him let say come with the Bucks and Good Brothers and laugh at the audience for thinking that the Bucks. Say that when you are BC you are for life, then have Moxley with Eddie Kingston come in and tell them they will have a match with the Bucks & Omega and they are like fuck yeah 2 on 3 sounds fun, then when they accept have Kingston say we forgot to tell you brother but it aint a handicap match we got a surprise partner for tonight. Boom main event planned. Q2 Now during an interview segment have Cody talk about QT and w/e but he is then asked by someone hey did you hear what Kenny said about BC and have Cody be like nah man those days are over I'm now focusing on my Nightmare Family and dealing with QT then he is asked if he is the Third Man Mox was talking, and Cody is like you think?. Again you are keeping people talking about the main angle and have people think, will Cody in the future come back to the fold or not. Next Segment a midcard match with the announcers talking about who will be with Mox and Kingston. Q3 Another interview segment with the BC talking to someone backstage and being asked if they are worried about this third man and they are like no way we have all the gold why we worried. Then have another match. Q4 Weekly Interview segment with Sting and he is asked hey Stinger are or Darby involved with Mox and they be like we respect him but we have nothing to do with that and he talks about his feud with Archer. Another match starts. Now we are backstage one more time and The Sydall brothers are asked if any of them are going to help Mox and they are like we havent heard anything but we want to help anyway we can. Q5 Chris Jericho segment backstage they sell their match with the Pinnacle and during said segment Jericho is like after we are done with the Pinnacle we are going after the Bullet Club cause we are in the need of some gold. Pinnacle match with some job guys quick and easy. Q6 Have someone at the door of Mox and Kingston locker room have good ol Marvez knock on the door and have him asked who they got for the match tonight and Kingston answers and they are like dw bro we got you soon enough. A womans match happens next. Q7 Start of the main event have the BC come in first and be like who is it! Who is the guy who has your back Mox. Then Mox and Kingston come in and they say well this guy is someone you know and everyone knows in fact he is known as someone who outworks everyone, queue Christian Cage theme. There we go, it's a bit obvious but this makes sense if they want Christian Cage and Kenny match in the future. While I'm sure this is not the best way to book AEW I feel that at least there's more connective tissue in between segments now. It's not simply separate segments but all part of a main story. Someone much better than me at this could book a much better show but my point was to show how a much focused show would look if AEW simply focused on their main angle more instead of doing too many mini angles.

WCW was a mess too, which is why TimeWarner unloaded it after they bought Turner Broadcasting because they didn't want a loss-making entity. WWF was actually run in a way that they always made money, irrespective of domestic ratings, and they had far bigger distribution overseas than WCW so their global audience and revenues were bigger. Even WWF's decision to tape certain episodes that WCW took advantage of ultimately came down to money and savings, and WWF was rewarded with money while WCW had bragging rights which didn't matter to begin with.

I watched AEW for a little over a year. I haven't watched any wrestling since 1998. I figured I could get back into it fresh with a new promotion. I will admit I was loving the presentation and people such as Cody, Dustin, Darby, Jungle Boy, and yes even Orange Cassidy. About six months in I started seeing the cracks. I should have noticed earlier but again I was what I consider a new fan since my 20 year absence. I just told myself they would learn from their mistakes and it would get better. Almost like a bad relationship. Instead they just got worse. Jericho looks and performs shittier as the weeks went on. Storylines that didn't make sense kept persisting. Lance Archer which I consider an undertaker type wrestler not getting a proper push pissed me off. Cody feuding with everybody. The women's division being a joke. The list goes on. I finally gave up on AEW and will not be returning. I truly hope some of the actual talent they have goes on to bigger and better things. Because this promotion is a joke. They insult their fans and many are too blind to notice. Just wanted to give some perspective from an ex fan of this promotion. I have a lot more gripes but nothing that Corny hasn't already covered.

Dave couldn't be more wrong about female viewers and Jim couldn't be more right. It's astonishing that someone who's a so-called expert on wrestling can be so wrong honestly. It's a simple, easy-to-grasp fact. Women are generally more mature than men, that's why so many women end up with guys a few years older than them. AEW has WAY too much silly, goofy, childish boy shit on it to get a big female viewership. It's not the female talent, it's certainly not the blood, it's the show itself. It's a guy sticking his hands in his pockets and the best friends hugging, getting dropped off by their mom and just being all around goofs. It's the Young Bucks being weird, goofy, immature bellends doing stupid in-jokes about how wrestling is a work, it's arcade anarchy and stadium stampede matches, it goes on, and on, and on. This is something that women would see and think, my son might like this.

Tony Khan will have no choice but to add the "Executive Producer" roles to retired or seni retired legends Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Sting, Paul" Big Show" Wight & Jerry Lynn. The currents AEW "Coaches" such as Dustin Rhodes, Christopher Daniels, Billy Gunn, Matt Hardy & Awesome Kong will need to be on the creative team. In short there way too many experienced veterans in the Pro Wrestling business in AEW just have this promotion ran by Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega along with Nick & Matt Jackson. Also Tony needs to buy Impact Wrestling (and Axis TV) merge rosters, thus creating three AEW shows: (1) AEW:Dynamite, (2) AEW: TNA Impact, (3) AEW: Dark Elevation This give AEW the ability to spread out the roster.

Dave Meltzer is wrong and all I have to do is use ECW as Exhibit A. They were a low budget as it got, and if anything, when they moved to TNN after they'd lost all their top talent, they were almost unwatchable. But in that period from 1994-99, even though they did a lot of crazy, stupid things, they also put on some great, contemporary wrestling television. The problem with Corny's style of wrestling is that he's going for how it will age in 10 or 20 years and that doesn't sell on a wide scale. It might sell in a small promotion for a short time. But if you want any kind of longevity at all, you need great booking, great talent AND a contemporary presentation. If all the matches looked like Smoky Mountain or NWA in the 80s today, no one would watch it, no matter how good the matches were. It's a business. It's about money. Vince didn't "destroy" the wrestling business. He just changed it because the audience changed. He made more money than everyone else doing what he did, so he ended up buying out all the territories. It's how business works.
