He killed the indies. AEW’s existence allowed WWE to not be viewed as a monopoly in lawsuits. The theory that Vince has been working with Tony all along makes since in that light. He even sent Jericho to him to oversee the destruction of the indies. They’ll return once the mission is accomplished.

Being serious for a minute, I'm critical of AEW but you're not entirely wrong here.
My problem isn't that AEW exists. I'm glad it exists. I just think that with a few tweaks here and there it could be great instead of always reaching that point where I just sort of have to turn it off.
It could be so much more than just spotfests and storylines that go nowhere, Tony just needs to get out of his own way.

Staying on the level for a moment, I think part of the "problem" (if you could call it that) is that AEW's fanbase likes what it does for the most part. I mean, that's not really a problem, if something brings people joy into their lives then, as long as it's not hurting anyone else, that's a good thing.
But it is a business, and, more importantly, it's arguably a vital business whose success prevents another company from monopolizing an industry. As has been said, AEW being able to offer an alternative to WWE for wrestlers to get paychecks is a great thing. People should root for its success.
I'm just not sure success is achieved by telling it to continue doing what it's doing. Something's got to change. The product that the fanbase loves turns off the normies. Yet the company needs those normies watching, hopefully to convert them into fans.
While it was successful, WCW had a good approach to this. The lower card largely played to a different audience than the top of the card. Specifically, the cruiserweight division was the precursor to a lot of what AEW does. I'm not saying I have the answers or know the best way to implement this, but maybe there's a happy medium between the two, where *most* of the show is what plays to the fanbase while the main event (and segments building to it, again, much like WCW) are for the normies (who you want to tune in through the whole thing because they're dumb enough to watch advertisements).
I think Joe Dirt put it best:

Being serious for a minute.

Listen bud you need to get with the times.

The dinosaurs are extinct. They couldn't do flips they couldn't do corkscrew moonsaults, they couldn't follow up a chokeslam with a standing moonsault.

Aew isn't a offering a "product". It's evolution, the very evolution of pro wrestling itself from wwe's " Big hoss" Style of wrestling to "High flying technical" Wrestling.

NO other wrestling company has done this. They have always kept the flippy to the mid carders. Even Tnas X division etc.

Aew has a unique style of wrestling. It's never before been seen. Even us fans don't know what it is. Without that, the entire brand dies.

Fuck normies. Normies are the cancerous parasite of this planet. They kill everything they touch. I'd rather have aew style vs wwe style than any sort of assimilation

>but what about mainstream

Then we make the product as is mainstream or we die. Simple as. No compromouse
>>
>>15005719
I was just trying to be nice. They enjoy it so I'm glad for them. Sometimes you lead with sugar so your audience will swallow the bitter pill that follows.
Would be nice if more people around here were a bit more familiar with Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Tony doesn't even book AEW for the AEW fanbase. He books it solely for himself. Your clip is even more on the nose than you realize. An increasing number of AEW fans don't like the direction AEW is headed in(hence the 500k) but Tony doesn't give a shit. He likes snakes and sparklers.

GOOD EVENING!
WE ARE REPORTING HERE FROM /PW/ WHERE >>15000000 HAS JUST MADE A PROPHETIC STATEMENT.
IT APPEARS TO FORETELL AN UNTIMELY DEMISE OF THE YOUNG CEO TONY KHAN BY MEANS OF A 'COCAINE OVERDOSE'.
THIS WOULD HAVE A CHAIN EFFECT CAUSING THE OUT-OF-FAVOR WRESTLING PROMOTION 'AEW' TO PERMANENTLY SHUT DOWN.
THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS, THE END HAS BEEN REVEALED!
