>>9002292I don’t care what anyone says, Khan is a good booker or at least has the potential to be. AEW have had periods where it’s been excellent. I’m not sure what’s changed (and no, it isn’t Cody before anyone says so) but obviously something backstage has shifted.
My best guess? Too many cooks in the kitchen. Dave Meltzer has said contrary to popular belief AEW does have a creative team. People on that team include Schiavone, QT, Sonjay Dutt and a few others I can’t remember. Wouldn’t mind betting Jeff Jarrett is there now too.
I actually think a lot of the issues come from a place of good intentions and aren’t anywhere near as malicious as people make it out to be. Eg. The massive roster and Tony always trying to get people on TV. The massive roster just makes it flat out impossible to book a consistent show because he’s always trying to get everyone on TV with roster rotations and people who are hot lose steam. But at the same time this is his fault for hiring too many people.
Just go back to the drawing board and work out what was working back in 2020 and 2021 and get back to that and for Christ sake stop hiring people.
