Starting to think Cody Rhodes must've seen the problem before any of us have

The biggest problem with AEW has always been Tony Khan. He's the son of a billionaire with no idea what he's doing. He'd rather be everyone's friend instead of being a boss. So people like Punk, the Elite, Moxley, and Jericho know this and use him like a puppet. If Tony Khan grew a spine and a set of balls, he's put people in their place for the best of his company. Punk vs the Elite could be the biggest money-drawing match in AEW history, and he refused to book it. Even more so during the "Biggest wrestling event in history." So until Tony becomes a man or gets people to handle what he can't the inmates will continue to run the asylum. Doesn't matter if they sold 80k tickets to Wimbley if all of his talent fight with each other like children.

"I don’t consider Tony a traditional booker who relies on heavy storytelling. I consider Tony a matchmaker. A guy who puts matches together that he wants to see and hopes that his fanbase wants to see also" -- Bully Ray

Aew was never that good. Khan is a fan first, business man last. Everything about aew is about being antiwwe.

The worst part of AEW right now is the fact that everything is SO bad but Tony thinks everything is perfect. It's concerning that he doesn't see any of these issues

AEW booking is just so terrible and Tony is proof having a mark book your show is bad for business. The lack of ring psychology in AEW is why its really an after though, no selling flip and super kicks

Collision is the better show hands down. Dynamite is suppose to be the flagship, right? Doesn't feel like it.

You know what Danny, this whole situation just reminds me of when Hogan/Eric showed up in TNA/Impact and I just get depressed. Tony needs somebody credible as a booker and let them handle it. Its seems like soon as he got ROH he lost the narrative to be a boss and its been downhill from there.

Jim cornette said it best the ones who knows how to run a wrestling company don’t have the money and the ones with the money don’t know how to run a wrestling company.

Yea 2023 has been the most inconsistent year for Aew so far. The build for all in has been basically non existent. I guarantee you if wwe did this for their build to summerslam the iwc would be in shambles. Tony is such a mark that he was basically forced to split the roster and make a whole different show separate from rampage and dynamite just to keep someone who disrespected his evps. This just goes to show Tony needs to hire someone else for booking and stay away from it entirely

Since April I just dip off AEW, I went to a live show they came here my hometown.

I'll going to be honest Impact Wrestling show are actually doing a little bit better than AEW

The thing about Tony Khan is he never was raised in the business. There is a difference between being in the businesses than being a fan. And to me Tony Khan was always a wrestling fan who now has his fathers money. And started Aew and he doesn't know how to book or manage a wrestling company cause he never been actually in a wrestling locker room with the boys. At least with Vince Wwe been around for years at least the 60s with his Father running it. And Vince was raised and worked in wrestling as a commentator before running things when his Dad died. And Vince had guys like Pat Patterson help him. Tk has nothing but legends in the business backstage and doesn't even have them help him with creative or booking. To Tk his mind is booking matches and dream matches. When great matches are important you need story lines to draw people in and wanting to keep watching cause they want to know what else is going to happen

They dropped the ball with all in card Tony Needs help Booking, they got this amazing roster but they're avoiding all the dream matches.

Fr Fr that Texas chainsaw match was the worst of it.L Tony

The entire company reeks of toxicity The majority of the hardcore fans are too toxic to begin with They can't admit that the video game that they made is mid at best And a lot of people got offended when they were called what they truly are a secondary promotion Like it's ridiculous and that's why I don't even bother with AEW i just wanna enjoy good wrestling

Yea im in shock also... day 1 AEW fan and really outside of the MJF/Cole has been literally perfect and THANKFULLY it's headlining ALL IN and rightfully so and the Swerve with the Mogul stuff with Darby/Sting/Young boy is great also but.. ALL IN should be booked so much f'n better and much farther out. We're 11 fucking days away and we're now just seeing the card really take form?! This could literally be their Wrestlemania man

Tony Khan has the Tyler Perry problem, where he has no writer's room. If he had a writer's room, these booking issues wouldn't exist as they currently are. A few months back we heard that Tony S. And jericho were is right hand. I'm curious if he is even listening to them at this point or if he needs to put someone in charge of dynamite he is too busy because they would have told this all in/our lead up is lazy.

This last episode of Dynamite pushed me over the edge. I'm still a AEW fan, but changes definitely need to be made. The card for All In is weak sauce. The Bucks need to man up and work with Punk. That is the major conflict that everyone keeps talking about. Not MJF and Cole. Not The BPCC. Not Jericho. It's The Elite and CM Punk. That is the money fued.

I'm lost: had they released the backstage videos of the Elite vs CM Punk brawl??
