Here's how to save AEW: Tony needs to put a shoot bounty on 5 star matches. $50000k to each participant when someone gets a match rated 5 or more stars in WON. Match quality correlates to more fans and more eyes on the product, which would quickly pay for the expense. It would also give shitters on big downside guarantees like Miro an incentive to come to fucking work and put some effort in.
>>16746313Half the problem is shitters trying to put on five star matches when they're bottom or middle of the card.Every match they pull out all their spots and by the time the main event rolls around you're exhausted. Also, most of them don't understand what a good match is in the first place; AEW's biggest problem is that the inmates run the asylum.What they need is someone big who understands proper match structure and who can slap people around when they start shitting up the joint or possibly outshining the main event.
>>16746313>Match quality correlates to more fans and more eyes on the product
>>16746369The greatest journalist to have ever covered professional wrestling acknowledges this fact.
>>16746313>Match quality correlates to more fans and more eyes on the productI think the last five years have been a case study proving the exact opposite.
>>1674637940 year head start, contract tampering, smear campaigns spearheaded by Phil and Corny, racism against Pakistanis, and transphobia.
>>16746313Match quality is important, but proper booking is even more important.Gotta tell compelling stories. And I'm not talking about WWE-style stories where everyone talks for hours on end. But even pre-2020 New Japan was telling way better stories than AEW.
>>16746389NFL game, NBA game, NHL game, 4th or July, Arbor Day, summer, Crab Fest at Red Lobster, someone's birthday, big news day, Big Lots going out of business. Just bad luck for Tony gosh feel so bad.
>>16746418>>16746389Many are listing these.
>>16746313I thought AEW only focusing on star ratings was everything that was wrong with it? You people can't make up your minds
>>16746575E-drone concern trolls like Alvarez say that. Real fans know that stars are the lifeblood of AEW.
>>16746313No. Retarded for a few reasons.>You could bribe Meltzer to give you 5 star ratings and share the bounty with him>AEW did have good in-ring matches throughout their existence, but it doesn't matter when there's no story behind them or the presentation completely sucks.>You need to have good matches consistently to make a dent in viewership based on in-ring action alone.>Tony can't book good matches even if his life depended on it.
>>16746313>Match quality correlates to more fans and more eyes on the productSo if this is true, then WWE must have the best matches right because it's the highest viewed product?The cognitive dissonance that this paradox creates in the smark mind leads them into madness
