Does AEW do anything well right now?

Other than create a small niche subset of fans who will defend the honor of everything they do and call folks “WWE fan boys” for anyone who disagrees?

- Littered with spot feats and no ring psychology. Completely contradicts them being supposed about the wrestling.
- Inability to create intriguing angles
- Declining and stagnant ratings
- The dark order being everywhere and anywhere
- Jericho and Moxley wasting space and provide nothing compelling
- An abortion of a womens division with a sorry ass faction being their main angle
- 300 title matches on every show
- Blade jobs in every outing that make it mean less and less each time
- Brings in D list celebrities for spots who nobody gives a fuk about, yet claims to be about wrestling and not sports entertainment

To quote one of the Bobs in the move Office Space, “what would you say you do here?” when it comes to AEW?

They’re really good at buying the rights to mainstream songs for entrance music so the audience can singalong.

First of all, he is way more of a pirate than you will ever be!

And Shaq counts as A-list celeb at this point. If you can't go out in public without being stopped, you are A-list

Omg Shaq appeared in AEW?

Maybe him and Paul Wight will happen after all!

Repped and agreed on all accounts.

They blade so much they could fill a charity blood drive to capacity on one PPV.

Biggest problem is a bloated roster with too many guys lost in the shuffle or on tv only very sporadic and of course lack of storylines. They have almost no tangible storylines. They've done a few well but they're so few and far between.

Squandering potential, they are unbeatable at that.

Remember when Punk and D-bry both debut on one card and it looked like they had a fantastic opportunity to push on and really elevate their program?

Cornette said nah, what will happen is they will drag those guys down to AEW level and thats exactly what happened.

It's still a fairly new promotion, give them some time, they will learn.They lost some prestige due to Covid protocols upon entering the market, apart from what's the competition like? WWE?

Even WWE and WCW made lots of mistakes when they were new.

I am happy they finally made a main eventer of their own in MJF, now time to shine Wardlow, Darby Allin, Ricky Starks and Daniel Garcia.

And yeah couple of things really need a fixup, first don't involve anything ROH with AEW, just merge ROH with AEW. Also title structure needs clarity, way too many titles with no clear direction.
