It's all Tony's fault, the talent is there, the money is there, hell the characters are there(especially as an alternative to WWEs characters and style) but Tony is a bad booker who's favorites are worse than he is and are sniveling self interest serving twink twins, the wrestlers are allowed to do dumb shit instead of being reigned in by a real leader with a wrestling mind and not some rich mark. He pays people to sit home, has no idea how to tell a story(which could be done properly without having to cut down too much on aew fans precious match times, and that brings me to match times, absolutely fucking ridiculous the amount of long drawn out matches where every person does every move they know twice over.
Only main events should be that long and even then we don't need to see 98% of a wrestlers arsenal in a given match, Tony is a dumb ass who swishes he was as good as booker and leader as Vince Russo let alone Vince McMahon.
