Ever since the pandemic, before the LEDs, Khan refused to use the props and stage pieces. Why?

Probably realised they were too expensive and wrestling fans are pretty much used to just having screens at this point.

LED screens are just by far the most cost-effective setup.

He should fire Jake Hager, and use that salary for props.

LED walls are astronomically more expensive than set pieces and staging, and that's just renting and set up not even considering creating animated graphics, you dumb fucking marks. Don't make comments about production and costs when you know absolutlely nothing about what you say.

And they look better than screens, too. It just hit me watching the 2018-19 era. Even at Double or Nothing, they have huge poker chips and slot machines. It was fucking awesome. Bash at the Beach had a slut in a beach chair, and surf boards and beach balls.

Yeah, using projectors and set pieces with fog and lighting arrays costs a fraction of 30 different LED walls like they have now. The LED walls are a monetary flex. They're to show "we are big production now" and anyone thinking they're cheaper is a retard.

Short term yes, long term they're cheaper because they last longer and are more versatile.

I thought about that as well. Everyone kept going on about the production values not being on WWE's level, so maybe it got to Khan and he just went LED. Dumb as hell, if that's it.
>>9273011
Yeah, I don't like how fast they're going through shit, from the useless belts, to the logo, to the sets. They don't let anything settle in and have it's own identity.

wrestlemania is the only time wwe puts any effort into its sets. once a fucking year. it's grim.
even picrel is way old now. wm 34 and 37 were the only decent sets to follow.

as usual, Tony looked at what WWE was doing and just did that. It's called All E-Lite Wrestling for a reason.

People were bitching and whining about how low-rent it looked so Tony changed it. Now he's done it, another group of fickle morons are saying how it looks too similar to WWE.

AEW should try to imitate Japanese big event production more with the lighting, camera work and set design. It wouldn't alienate any of their viewers and would allow them to look major league while differentiating AEW from WWE, sadly Tony Khan is too caught up in market trend analytics to understand aesthetics so he's just hiring Kevin Dunn at home and calling it a day

Same reason the booking has fallen off a cliff. Khan just doesn't give it the same focus as before.
