    I also think Tony Khan being as thin skinned isn't helpful, IMO and he should probably start tuning out some stuff and stop Tweeting so much. All promoters have pettiness to them and it's always a negative thing.

    I honestly think TK buying ROH was not good and just an ego/vanity move. Honestly, what real value does it add to AEW as a brand? I think a partnership would've been better, especially if ROH could've remained its own thing.

    • @brien144
      @brien144 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Buying the tape library was a good idea, but the compagny as a whole? ROH’s legacy will soon become a sub-aew brand, not the « top indie brand » it was known for. It will always play second fiddle to AEW.

    There has been plenty, and there will be more. Could say that for any company, really. I think what is undeniable is that AEW has changed a lot since summer 2021, for the better or worse? You could mark an argument for both I suppose.

    To your point over wanting to see more Abadon, I couldn't agree more. Abadon is unlike anyone else AEW has in the women's division and badly needs a spot. If she can't get more of a wrestling match focus, I wonder who she could be aligned with as a stable member or something that could help get her there?

      This can be said for a lot of promotions, I know people love their "live" aspect to Wrestling, but sometimes it is good to have recorded matches like how Lucha Underground used to do it. Give them space to do special things that would be great for TV audience.

      It would have been underwhelming, the whole idea is a live ppv with fans there present for as little as they were, its not like Thunderdome where you can actually pre-tape because there are no fans attending live

    Paying HUGE wages to ex wwe guys inevitably creates a two-tier roster, akin to how wwe pay a select few part timers crazy money. I get it, they're marquee, butwhen they flop, it's just wage bloat and leaves the home grown players with resentment.

      WWE was the sole big compagny for so long that it attracted a lot of top indie guys who would have felt right at home in AEW. But Pro wrestling looks a lot like pro sport in this manner: big free agents will cost a lot of money!

    It’s funny
    Raw opened with a women segment. Cool brawl
    Then was a women match,
    That women match turned into a 8 person tag match and it finished with a women winning a match. I thought to myself, AEW can’t somehow book something like that 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • @jacobhumphrey3535
    @jacobhumphrey3535 ปีที่แล้ว

    At this stage in the game, I'd say one of AEW's biggest missteps is not getting onto a readily available streaming platform for their weekly tv. Hell, you could take from the movie theater model and have the PPVs go onto streaming after a month or two so people could go back and watch.

    9 months later, women's division booking still needs more improvement. That having been said, Toni Storm's booking has been much better since she lost the title to Hikaru.

    Whatever people says, I liked hangman title reign. It was the only reign where i was excited to see the matches. They kept him low key so whenever he showed up it was big deal atleast for me. I guess tony just listened to IWC and cut it short.

    6. The fact that Rampage is taped kind of take away a lot of the excitement. Wrestling compagnies could get away with it in the 90’s, as the results were not easily available. Today, with the Internet so omnipresent, the results are easily known. So, for most Rampage, no huge debuts, title changes or big matches would be as exciting to watch with a two day delay…
