AEW is so funny to me. I was a legit fan of ROH in the Sinclair era…I even liked the bucks ffs 🤷♂️… now I turn on Collision and wish it was half as entertaining as the old ROH show used to be. Where the fak is Dalton Castle!? Bring in Enzo he was fire!? Do something other than the third rate TNA impression they are doing right now.
what a SHAME and AEW actually has the $$$ to be competitive but I agree this idiot thinks he knows it all but Con can't book SHIT
I got quite a lot of pushback on the AEW subreddit a while ago when I suggested the show would overall be better if they had more, shorter matches on TV and saved the "big matches" for the pay per views – you know, the way TV wrestling has worked for the past 40 years.
Pretty soon NXTNA is going to be the number two American promotion with the way things have been going
Also, if you're someone with some kind of potential in AEW, like Hobbs or something, how the hell could you decide to resign with AEW instead of TNA or WWE when your contract comes up?
These guys should review TNA now bc they are eventually gonna surpass AEW bc they are partnering with NXT and the Genesis crowd drew more than tonys dime
Alright I'll stick up for wwe's finishes. They may not be GREAT (ding!), but they're done by professionals that don't constantly F them up.
Tony, listen to me: Take wwf from 96, and COPY EVERYTHING WORD FOR WORD. Every angle, every swerve, everything. At least that'd be fun, ya know? lol moron.
Creative freedom can be good in theory but then if you cant be bothered to think of an angle and you just want to wrestle, but you dont have any backup by TK?
You could not be more spot on with, fans are sick of Jericho shit, and the moxley shit. Good Lord there's no substance I hate it
Tony Khan’s booking like the dying days of Vince McMahon’s booking.
And hasn’t changed since.
Tony is not the guy
AEW is just meaningless gymnastics. The individual moves can look mighty impressive but there's fuck all under the hood. I get the feeling that Tony is the kind of guy that would create a wrestler on a game that's built like Lesnar but has the move set of Mysterio because it looks cool and nothing more.
I was very hyped when AEW first came to Winnipeg back in 2023. The second time around they came here, I didn't bother to go. They need to stick to a consistent storyline! Wtf! I love Jericho but dammit its time to pass the torch!
"Maximum Carnage" was the name of a Spider-Man storyline and video game from the 90s and that's all I can think about now
Tony is running the place like he's writing the fan fiction version of wrestling
Bahahahah so many losers in this comment section lraying for Triple H to rest it on their foreheads. Get out of the basement you muppets
Was AEW ever really that good, or was WWE that bad that at the time, we needed that alternative? Just some food for thought. For me, the company died a slow death after the first Wembley All In.
Honest question. How long is aew gonna last.? Or will tony wake up and bring in people to turn his company around.?
The problem is Tony doesn't know how to book wrestling and he just wants to be friends with every wrestler. Aew looks badly produced and it looks like a bad version of wcw and ecw mixed together.
If Tony doesn't get Booker of the year this year he might have a mental breakdown.
The match with Jericho and Dax Hardwood was the worst match I've ever seen in a long time. Jericho just can't work anymore and Dax wasn't trying to work with him but he just couldn't. Jericho is so lazy and slow at times i thought my tv was playing the show in slow motion.
AEW sucks! Love you Jimmy.
Lol
It's crazy how this guy constantly rags on Tony Khan, but he was in the same predicament in every promotion. He's ever been in. That's why he's not in the business. Still like if he was in the business still, you wouldn't have a podcast like he does now
Ok enough already aew is nowhere near as bad as wcw was or even tna aew is a pretty damn good show and i am grateful to have it bc we get dream matches and wwe not having a monopoly on wrestling just stop trolling them and find something better to do with your lame lives

I remember Dave saying that attendance didn’t matter, just the ratings. Then it was just the 18-49 demo. Then nothing.
I’ve been SAYING THIS SINCE he was dean ambrose. He’s the worst member of the shield. Also that Stone Cold podcast exposed him for being a terrible talker.
Dave is the dumbest person to get famous in any genre.
If they did get a new booker, who's the greatest of all time, it would still take probably at least a year for them to get anywhere. Look at their roster, and think how you'd fix it. Even tho I believe the roster is good, he's put them so far behind the 8 ball
Why not give Scott DeMor ( I think I spelled it wrong ) to be the head booker. Have a team him leading to write and book the show
They lost me when swerve lost the belt n they did all that to Brian Danielson with the bag over his face. Nope done
You could argue that Jericho and Edge are world class but both were cut loose from WWE because they were well past their sell by dates. AEW is rotten to the core and it’s going to take a long time to get to a half decent wrestling company
I searched up f4w just to be curious. It’s top results are all stories knocking aew lol
The claims about WWE booking is hilarious. It also doesn't acknowledge that WWE understands an angle needs to last for a while and have pace and style
5:41 I know there are more important to talk about here, but I i'm a huge pokemon card game guy And even I'm not sure how that equates to this match card in anyway, I do not understand this comment.
Its time for AEW to vacate all the titles. have a tornumement and the finalists, can have a Judy bagwel on a forklift match. O wait russo is not booking this.
Tony Khan is like the late Herb Abrams but with a great financial backing. AeW needs someone else doing the booking and handling of the talent. How come they haven't gotten ahold of Scott D Amore??!!!
It's blatantly obvious that the wrestlers on AEW are just taking advantage of Tony for big paydays. Okada getting millions to do nothing is a perfect example
The booking doesn't matter? So, you admit all of Tony's booker of the Year awards are horseshit? It mattered when you thought he was good? How can it not matter?
Yes, its unedited on you tube as of now, over a week later.
