To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The storytelling is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Japanese wrestling history, most of the nuances will go over a typical WWE fan's (E-tardicus Maximus) head. There's also Tony Khan's masterful use of cold matches – matches that seem disconnected but are actually part of a deeper narrative.
The true brilliance of AEW's storytelling lies in Tony Khan's ability to weave a complex web of storylines without explicitly telling any stories. The introituses of the Continental Classic are a prime example – a reference so obscure that only the most knowledgeable fans can appreciate its significance. WWE fans (E-drones), of course, lack the intellectual capacity to comprehend the intricacies of such storytelling; they're more into the simplistic, cookie-cutter narratives spoon-fed to them every week.
As Tony Khan continues to challenge the traditional wrestling storytelling paradigm, AEW fans revel in the satisfaction of understanding the subtle references, the nuanced character developments, and the brilliance of seemingly disconnected cold matches. It's not just about what happens in the ring; it's about the intellectual journey one undertakes to fully appreciate the artistry behind AEW. In conclusion, you need to be on a different wavelength entirely to truly grasp the genius of AEW's storytelling, and most wrestling fans just don't have the IQ to get it.
