>Roster is bloated or inefficiently used or both>They have 3 weekly shows they have to map out just for TV, not to mention produce honor club tapings>New signings have not moved the needle on dynamite >The company owner has made the company look good and he turns off people in the legitimate sporting world. Even milktoast Rich Eisen finds tony strange, let alone his slap fights with Ariel helwani and nfl players. https://youtu.be/obJlMlmv_Z4?si=Iu36qyF2idPdEdny>AEW is increasing revenue while greatly increasing operating costs. To become profitable a rights increase based on their consistent top 1-5 placing on Wednesdays should demand a higher rights return, but AEW's audience outside of the flagship dynamite has dwindled in regards to attendance and interest in the b/c shows and a character popular with Warners CEO has left. Beyond this Tony khan has publicly announced he expects a rights increase while also publicly stating he would settle for slightly less than what his former contracts demanded.>It's not a profitable company, but it may also never need to be. The Khan family can easily withstand running a 34 million dollar debt over 5 years, but I guarantee you the khan do not have endless money for wrestling. They don't have 6 billion dollars in liquid assets and billionaires like Shad don't surround themselves with money men that will allow a hundred million dollar loss on a failing carnival. >Morale has been said to vary in AEW from over the moon to be sticking it to the fed to complete 7th grade clique drama. Reports from wrestlers range from complete disrespect to complete loyalty. Neither are a good look.Pretty much Tony. Tony is the problem. And you can't get rid of tony so it will continue on undead, a parody of life. Tony won't kill it, they'll find a place on tv even if tony has to spend to get it, but you'll always have tony. And tony does not seem like a person capable of change
