Give me a fucking mic. AEW is a dead promotion that currently exists on the sheer momentum of Khan family money and media connections. In 5 years, Tony has failed to make anyone on his roster mainstream, same for his shows. The only moments of punctuated "popularity" are always enhanced off WWE influence. Punk debut, signing the Hardy Boyz, Jericho champ reigns, etc. The most impactful angle that the company has produced in its existence, the elite take over, fell flat, even with Tony wearing a brace during the NFL draft. Wrestling media try their hardest to inflate match quality, wave off negative stories, all to serve AEW, and it still doesn't help. WWE is a nearly half century brand that will always lead the wresting industry and dwarf its competitors. Tony Khan will never produce a mainstream product, and he is the Undisputed KWABOTY.
