>In the age of social media, social capital is showing up at the new thing to be seen at it. When new restaurants and stores open there are queues for months of people getting their new store selfie. AEW had the same sort of effect built off of hype when they started, it never translated into long term audience.>Running and promoting a big event first time will generally do well, it tricks people into thinking the show is important. When you run the same building with the same pretend event, that's actually just a normal episode of the TV show, on the same week every year it's going to have diminishing returns. Like if it actually was a big show, like if they rand 4 big TV episodes per year and something significant happened at them, the that would be cool. But you need to hold it in different places as well. Tony is a fucking moron and keeps running the same shows in the same weeks in the same towns every year like a deranged autist. There is no reason to do this. He runs the same towns constantly as well.AEW is run incompetently, but explaining why it's bad is important. There are too many fucking idiots in the wrestling community trying to sound smart all the time, all they do is distract from the real criticism so nothing improves.
