this company climaxed in the summer of '21 with cm punk, adam cole & d'bry.

how did they get it so wrong? did the drive to create a wrestling boom leave with cody? how can aew ever HOPE to compete with wwe (who kicked their ass in 2022 & beyond) if they can't even compete with themselves of years gone by?

serious discussion.

Signing too many proven anti-draws then wasting a golden opportunity with Punk shooting on the Bucks

Hiring too many exWWE active wrestlers.

I believe this was an ongoing problem since their inception but ultimately the cream rose to the top?
tho dark, dark e., rampage are failures for sure.

but their stars MJew, Bloatley, D'bry are on the road to nowhere when this wasn't the case.

They tried to combine their great new signings with the toxic trash they had take up time in 2020.
They had a chance to level up, but instead had their old backyarders drag down their new talent.

Those three fags coming in were precisely what killed the company.

Too many people, some are not even wrestlers
Plus, not much TV time to develop stars properly
>But Rampage
So far is a waste of time and money because Tony barely cares about that show
>But Dark
Compare the very first episodes of Dark with now, those were literally a third hour of Dynamite
Now they're just a bunch of short "AEW stars vs. random jobber" matches
Who would want to watch that besides hardcore AEW fans?

Yep. The booking was awful after the Punk fiasco. But after their latest ppv, things have been better. I'd argue right now they have two great champs in Hayter and MJF, lil nigga Darby is insane, and surprisingly great booking with the acclaimed. Gunn Club is also super underrated. Joe is having a brilliant run. And I enjoy some flippy shit and memes from ROH days so AEW usually hits it there. Jeff Jarret is that nigga right now as well.
There is a lot to complain about but they still hit that comfy sweet spot of indie wrestling absurdity that boomers don't understand.
