>>16026789Because I gave it a fair chance and realized that it's never gonna get better because it's run down by the idiot who owns and books it.
Talking AEW in WCW about it in the same context is an insult to WCW - the general wrestling fandom looks at those two and think it's the same because the money used is compatible but it's not even close. WCW in comparison kicked ass in the ratings for that 83 weeks because they had a incredibly strong star studded roster of draws.
Meanwhile at the beginning of AEW's ratings decline Tony tried to shove Yuta, Orange Cassidy, Garcia, Jay White... etc down peoples throats, letting Jericho hog more screen time than the talent he was supposedly giving a rub to, the same style matches of Bucks, stories not going anywhere..
I don't need to get into whats wrong with the talent individually but just point at the booking, or what can charitably called booking.
That's what broke the camels back for me, at one point it was just "Oh I'm not watching this shit again / anymore" and never came back because I knew it's not gonna improve before Tony dies choking on a dog knot and even then it's populated by idiots who think they were doing everything right because they never got fired for mistakes in production that would have gotten them off the show in Vince WWE on the same night.
