You have to have a very high IQ to understand AEW. The storytelling is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical grappling most of the angles will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also AEW’s stables, which are deftly woven into top storylines - AEW’s personal philosophy draws heavily from Jim Crockett Promotions, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these angles, to realize that they're not just “cool”- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike AEW truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the storytelling in Orange Cassidy’s existencial nickname "King of Sloth Style," which itself is a cryptic reference to Inoki and 80’s NJPW
