Name a flaw
>>
How much time ya got?
>>
>>19735216
Nobody watches

>>19735216
Used to watch dynamite every week. Started getting gay with the fake deathmatch explosion and finished me off with all the tranny shit. All the matches last half an hour and Tony is a shitskin that fucks dogs, also can't book his way out of a paper bag.
>>
Matches involving the workrate guys with most pull (Ospreay specially) have an unbearable amount of kickouts (WWE is guilty of the same thing, tbf)

It's not as bad now as it was the last two years, but the amount of factions leads to a lot of filler trios matches that make the episodic shows really boring
>>
>>19735216
>It's a promotion built entirely on throwaway 5-star match of the week "good match wrestling" instead of long term stories with significant plot points that make watching weekly rewarding
>No cohesive vision. Everyone's doing their own thing with zero regard to what else is going on throughout the show. Moves used as finishers by other guys are used randomly in other matches. If there's a big blood spot later in the show like 3 other people will be bleeding throughout the night anyway. Which brings me to my next point
>Nothing matters. Anything and everything that can be used to safely illicit a big crowd reaction (blood, cursing, anything sexual, any sort of extra violent sort of thing) has been so abused in AEW that their crowd is desensitized to it
>Too fucking many false finishes. Guy gets set on fire? Not the finish. Guy gets waterboarded? Not the finish. Someone gets impaled on a bed of nails? Not the finish. And that's just the hardcore stuff. Every Ospreay match needs at least 7 false finishes for whatever reason. It's too much. You don't have to do everything you can in one match
>Very few actual characters that aren't just 'I'm a good wrestler'
>Too many matches just don't fucking matter
>Too many guys get lumped into meaningless stables so their tv time is used to push a feud they're not even directly involved in. I.e. anything ever involving Don Callis
>Women HAVE to either oversexualize themselves or become gore merchants (if not both) in order to get over with their incel virgin crowds
>Tony Khan doesn't have the balls to be a proper boss and it shows in so many different ways that are detrimental to the company
>Its fans are the legitimate worst of the worst hardcore audience I've seen in wrestling. It's not all of them. But the ones who are make you not want to associate with the product
>There's something really shady going on with them and Meltzer and dirtsheets altogether
Those are a few off the top of my head

>>19735613
But enough about the WWE
>>
>>19735216
too much gay and fake looking shit for a high IQ straight man to enjoy
>>
>>19735216
The booking sucks, the matches by and large suck, the roster is filled with dimeless shitters, it suffers from the exact same systemic flaws it suffered from in 2019, and Tony is literally incapable of learning from his mistakes which is what all of AEW's problems stem from.
