517.04.2024ImperialUno6.0I previously said that AEW was a very good promotion but i started to realize what's wrong with this company lately, they are good when it comes to wrestling and i aknowledge that they always produce good matches that everyone will talk about but i noticed that AEW isn't great when it comes to storytelling, the storylines are often basic and not really interesting, they produced some great storylines with Jon Moxley, Swerve Strickland, Kenny Omega, Adam Page...but it's mainly because some of them have creative control and know how to tell an interesting story, look at the Page vs Swerve feud for exemple, this is one of the best rivalry since a while and it shows that AEW has potential storytelling wise but this isn't well exploited because instead they do things that have a chance to create a buzz like huge surprises and matches but nothing more, they just want to create a buzz everywhere they go and sometimes it leads to ridiculous things like showing the footages of the backstage altercation between Jack Perry and CM Punk on TV which is completely foolish but we shouldn't be surprised because Tony Khan is an idiot who seems to not understand well what the business is all about, he looks just a fan with a lot of money booking a wrestling company and hides his lack of talent as a booker to do things that can create a buzz, not only within AEW but also the companies that AEW are in partnership with and speaking of partnership, i'am not against the fact that AEW works with other companies but the partnerships help just themselves, yeah they give expositions to NJPW for exemple but it doesn't necessarily mean that people will watch NJPW or Stardom because they saw some working from there wrestle in a AEW ring so this argument isn't particurly relevant, AEW took the talents of DDT, NJPW and TJPW, the compagnies that AEW work with and moreover, we have more chances to have a AEW wrestler winning a championship in one of those companies than a wrestler of one those companies winning a championship in AEW, look at Jon Moxley beating someone who never got the chance to have the run he deserves, Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship and for what ? Creating buzz and more hype for Forbidden Door. Also what the fuck is this women's division ? There's a lot of talented women in the roster such as Willow Nightingale, Toni Storm, Mariah May, Riho, Shida and so on but the division is uninteresting because the booking is lame and they do nothing to bring interest to the division, and there's no excuse given the ROH Women's division is very good and that AEW and ROH have more or less the same roster, so there's no excuse here. AEW hasnt only flaws, they have had a lot of great stuff since the company has been created, it had the idea to be an alternative for wrestling fans and they suceeded in it, they propose us a more workrate based company and the big matches are often good but for me AEW is just that, sometimes they propose great storylines but it is rare now unfortunately.
615.04.2024Mister Cute Face7.0Previously 9/10 - update on 04.15.2024 7/10 - TK needs to quit it with this WCW lite management. Airing the Punk footage is absolutely classless. It comes off as desperate and accomplished nothing. Turn this around, I'm begging you!

1212.04.2024Punkman218.0AEW has given us some stellar moments and matches over the past 5 years. While I am not a big fan of the way they tell their stories, and do prefer the traditional, WWE-style storytelling, they make up for it with the in-ring action. With the incredible roster that they have, you simply can't go wrong. From Omega and Ospreay, to Danielson and Swerve, they are overflowing with talent, both present and future. Loving the current Swerve-Joe rivalry and can't wait to see where it goes at Dynasty. The only real gripes I have is the women's division (though there have been strides made to improve things on that end), and the over-reliance on 6-man tag matches. I am not a fan of those and believe they diminish the stars in the ring and dilute the stories being told. I do think Tony needs help in terms of booking, or simply putting down the pen and hiring someone else. All in all, AEW is a much needed presence in the world of professional wrestling, so long may their success continue.

1611.04.2024ISimon19129.0Man, I personally love the AEW product and I believe that if it weren't for them I would have given up on Pro-Wrestling entirely. In 2021 I started following the company and my passion returned for this business. When it comes to in-ring action, no company currently delivers like AEW, every big show has at least one classic. But unfortunately, Tony Khan started to get lost with all the things he wants to do. Unfortunately, wrestling itself is not a draw, the public wants to see captivating stories and from a commercial point of view the company needs to focus on that. The product is currently a bit worn out with too many belts, the integration with ROH that didn't work, and a super inflated roster. We recently had new hires that brought a nice fresh air to the environment, but our friend TK needs help developing everyone. Normally the PPVs are great (All Out 2021 is one of the best wrestling shows in history), I really hope the company grows more and becomes a giant in the industry, but the product needs to change and not be so focused on the niche (I kind of like it, but the casual public doesn't). Another point to improve is to book the women's division better ("Timeless" Toni Storm has been the light at the end of the tunnel in this division), focus more on themselves and not on the competition and improve or end Rampage once and for all
1711.04.2024Chev00810.0The hypothetical AEW wrestling show lineup presented boasts an array of top-tier matches featuring some of the most talented and renowned wrestlers in the industry. From high-stakes singles bouts to captivating tag team showcases and intense championship matches, this lineup offers something for every wrestling fan. With the potential for 5-star and over 5-star performances throughout the card, it exemplifies the best of what AEW has to offer in terms of athleticism, storytelling, and entertainment. This lineup could easily be hailed as one of the best wrestling shows of the current era, delivering a memorable and exhilarating experience for fans worldwide.
1811.04.2024Tasmo125.0The hype of the AEW reboot has cooled down and people have realized that AEW hasn't changed at all, The "Reboot" was basically a set change and logo change but the same AEW things that people despised during the late 2023 and early 2024 era. The storylines still aren't hitting, a lot of way too long matches and their reliance on past things recently and using other companies popularities to their advantage and failing to prosper on it. The crowds are lowering, the fans are lowering and the popularity of AEW is lowering. [**3/4]

2409.04.2024CarWashDumpsterBoy6.0June 2023: AEW has been on a roll since its beginning in 2019. The company has grown into a major powerhouse in the industry and finally after 20 years has given McMahon and WWE some competition which is always good for the business as a whole. AEW has signed major names such as Bryan Danielson, CM Punk and Jon Moxley, while also bringing in great indy talent such as Orange Cassidy, Daniel Garcia and Sammy Guevara. They have continued to have great compelling television for nearly 200 episodes of Dynamite, 100 of Rampage and now their new Saturday Night show Collision. Plus not to mention all the PPVs they have produced and the Battle of the Belts specials they have done. Solid job by Khan EDIT in April 2024: AEW is starting to really lose my interest. With all of the drama surrounding it, the fact TonyKhan cannot act like a boss when the situation is needed makes AEW look like a second rate promotion. I really had some high hope for AEW but Khan has run himself too thin between Dynamite, Rampage, Collision, PPVs, Honor club TV, RPG PPVs, his duties at the NFL and in his father's soccer team. the ROG uy out introduced another set of belts that, along with the added programming saturated AEW and the lack of storylines that keep people wantin more. Instead we get matches that are what Toh Khan wants as dream matches. Some I am cool with but they aren't giving much to make people care about certain guys. Other than thebhardcore marks that love good wrestlers. Unfortunately i feel Tony Khan is a detriment to the organization. Here they arw about to show the AlL IN London Footage with Punk/Jack Perry. C'mon guys let's focus on AEW not past backstage bull or Rohs belts on AEW. I will still watch AEW because I love pro wrestling but the company can be run better and would be making monev instead of spendingore qqqà1a
2508.04.2024driftydead2.0I started watching from the very beginning and was really excited about the future of pro-wrestling, but many years later, this promotion has completely fallen flat. Khan can't book anything decently story wise or something long term for the ultimate "pay off" Bryan Danielson used to be one of their draws, but has turned into a guy that just has matches with anybody without any meaning. Jay White is a former IWGP Heavyweight champion and has recently been buried by a 60-year-old man in one of the most awful matches I've seen in the entire year. Mercedes Mone is booked for her weak points, doing commentary and long dull promos instead of booking her for what she's good at, wrestling in matches. Tony Khan needs to stop leaning into the "dirt-sheets" and the drama and focus on the product itself. The ratings and the half-full arenas speak for themselves. If they don't do anything drastically to change the overall presentation, booking and storytelling, then the company will not last long term or gain any new viewers.

2906.04.2024arisenby8.0[8.4] 2023 was a really weak year, but so far 2024 really seems like a year of refocusing for AEW. Despite only being around for a little over 5 years (as of time of writing), they've seriously established themselves as the best major promotion in North America. With belts that feel shockingly prestigious given their age, a roster that has a claim to being the most stacked in history (if not a little bloated, ) fantastic week-to-week wrestling, and an amazing track record regarding PPVs, there's a lot to like. There are some issues, as mentioned, the roster can feel very bloated, some stories (The Devil, The Outcasts, and currently the Undisputed Kingdom are ones that come to mind) can end up being very stop-and-start, usually due to injury, and the handling of the women's division is consistently so-so, but the positives far outweigh the bad, and when AEW hits its stride, it is downright magical.

3202.04.2024Nekket8.0I feel like AEW lost what made them special in the early days, with the week to week excitement being all but gone at this point. Regardless, they frequently put on great pay per views and have a solid contender for top five roster of all time as of writing.

3431.03.2024GhassaneJabri7.0After 5 years of existence as a mainstream American company, we can all say without a shroud of a doubt that AEW rejuvenated that exciting feeling you get around wrestling. And it has been amazing to see this company making its baby steps to become what it is today. But as of the day I'm writing this review and for the past 2 years no less, it has (justifiably) come under scrutiny when it comes to booking and behind-the-scenes drama. But before that, I'd have to give it the amount of credit it deserves. I'm not too deep in wrestling, but I love how I've been using AEW as a gateway to start getting into other wrestling companies outside of North America (NJPW, NOAH, CMLL, DDT...), it gives AEW this unpredictable nature that makes the announcement of a Yuji Nagata v. Bryan Danielson more exciting than any PPV build. Speaking of PPV, even with the amount of duds (World's End 2023, half of All Out 2022, All Out 2020) AEW has on its PPV counter, their pacing flows a lot better than their contemporaries, and you're always guaranteed to have two quality matches at the very least. Thirdly, I love the edgy nature, the TV-14 rating for their TV programs allows the talent to explore more mature themes (for example: Christian Cage's "Go f*ck yourself" promo) or sillier jokes (Kenny Omega's Bangkok joke or Big Bill putting Moxley's blood as lipstick) which makes the builds infinitely more interesting and colorful than the restrictive nature of any PG wrestling program. AEW easily has the best tag team division in the world, with The Young Bucks, Lucha Bros and FTR trying each year to dethrone each other for the spot of being the best tag team. With the exception of 2022 and 2023, the sports-based presentation has been wonderful, even if the choice of making rankings don't make all that much sense when there are tournaments and battle royals for a number one contendership, it's easily made up with the quality of the TV matches, which is something that I can say more for the men's division rather than the women's division. And here's where my words will turn sour, the AEW women's division sucks. Not just in terms of booking, but also in terms of in-ring quality. The level of importance given to this division rivals the worst popularity contest you could imagine. As of today, it's a bloody travesty that the division's champion (Toni Storm) has 1000 times more care given to her fantastic character work rather than her in-ring work. I hope AEW can take some pages from the STARDOM notebook. Another complaint with this company can be boiled down to their production, and I don't know how, but these issues become incredibly apparent during the Anarchy in the Arena/Stadium Stampede matches. All these matches have too many instances where the camera cuts sooner or later than a given spot. And my final complaint goes to Tony Khan's booking after he acquired Ring of Honor. Plain simple, he needs to delegate ROH to someone else and continue the sports-based booking of AEW. If nothing, the Continental Classic has been among their best storytelling devices and it should be used as a blueprint for most of the booking. That it, I love AEW, and I hope it keeps succeeding at being the better alternative in mainstream North American wrestling.

3730.03.2024RecklessOne6.0Highly overrated promotion. There were certainly great matches there, but in general, Tony Khan works very strangely with his roster, signing unnecessary or wrestlers who have not been in the ring for a long time like Saraya. Inability to work with a female roster, very strange creative ideas, mostly boring feuds and the assumption of disgusting behavior in some personalities. TNT title is generally a hot potato, passing from hand to hand. Some indie companies are far superior to AEW in some aspects.

4419.03.2024FuzzGod9.0I just wanna watch some matches, and AEW is the best promotion for that, they revived my interest in wrestling and have gotten me to fall in love with it as an art form. They take risks and try and show you just how extensive the wrestling world is with featuring hundreds of wrestlers and have bettered the wrestling landscape to elevate itself past the American dark ages of the 2010's. CM Punk's run in the company has certified me as a lifelong watcher and the company rewards dedicated viewers with consistently great matches on TV, can't miss PPVs, and a directional hype train that goes year round. Always something to look forward to and they rarely disappoint. The lack of count outs & DQ finishes make the ones that happen more memorable, they always swap around who's on each card so each show feels different from the last, and they have the most stacked roster of great wrestlers in the world.
4518.03.2024IDriveAFordFusion7.0AEW is without a doubt, one of the most important promotions in the history of the Wrestling Business, A lot has been achieved by this promotion in the last 5 years. From successful PPVs, to the rise of superstars like Jon Moxley and MJF, to must-watch matches, to making Arthur Ashe Stadium wrestling events a year-round tradition (and Wembley soon to be perhaps) and speaking of Wembley, selling tens of thousands of tickets to Wembley in 2023 and so far again in 2024. AEW has also had some great hires like Jon Moxley, MJF, Eddie Kingston, Samoa Joe, Toni Storm, Christian Cage and hopefully a few more soon, not to forget that Sting had one of the greatest retirement matches ever and it will go down in the history books in emotion and triumph. With those positives, there do come some negatives, like the misuse of certain talents that are too good to be wasted, to the really bad hirings of Vickie Guerrero, Saraya, and Parker Bordeaux; the promoting of and pushing of Saraya despite her being a decade off her prime and being one of the MOST hated and obnoxious wrestlers today (I will NEVER forgive TK for the disaster of putting the belt on her at Wembley.), hiring Ric Flair (even though he is a legend so I respect him for that) despite him not really contributing much to the product and being controversial, to the CM Punk debacle and the mishandling of it until the last minute (last minute = termination of contract), to some utterly bad storylines like The Devil, Outcasts vs Originals, and several others that I won't mention. AEW has set a new precedent in Pro Wrestling and has helped define the new era of wrestling, hence the 7 rating. I can't rate them close to a 10 because of some of the negatives plus some other factors like normal US ticket sales and not so much of a casual following, I do hope that casuals give AEW a chance though, as they do have some fairly marketable names and some massive star power.

Everyone showed up and showed out, Will vs Takeshita is a must watch for any wrestling fan Osprey is going to be AEWs franchise player. Stings farewell is probably the greatest in history, Danielson vs Kingston was very good, World title 3 way was great storytelling and rest of card was good to great! A slam dunk loved the card! Darby and Sting is the tag team we never knew we needed loved that partnership! Enjoy your retirement the Icon Sting well deserved!
5509.03.2024houseofcopeland8.0Ah All Elite Wrestling. When this company is good, it is one of the best wrestling promotions active today. But when this company is bad, it is BEYOND frustrating. It has a lot of great talents that it doesn't always seem to know what to do with and either doesn't promote them at all or gives them storylines that make no damn sense or just flat out suck. But again, when the storylines do work and everything's on point, very few can touch AEW. To me, TK is overrated as a booker, could really use some additional assistance and really needs to stay off Twitter but 80% of the time, he deserves the praise he gets. AEW is a company that has a lot of potential but often gets in its own way, very much like WCW. Let's just hope that All Elite Wrestling has a much better fate that WCW did.

5906.03.2024mjs22123.0AEW had so much potential when they first started, and for a bit, it was exciting to see something new and fresh since there hadn't been too many other mainstream wrestling companies beforehand. With a great roster and some killer matches, I was really pumped for what AEW would bring to the table. But now, I kind of wish that AEW would either go away or completely rebrand itself. The roster these days is completely bloated. If you are The Elite, MJF, or Britt Baker, you'll likely do well. But if you are Lance Archer, Jay Lethal, or Malakai Black, you're taking a gamble. For as many shows as they have, it feels like they still cannot fit everyone in. Storylines are always hit or miss, and TK is severely overrated as a booker. Quality has noticeably gone down and it feels like he is stuck in his own world. But what really shut me off to AEW was the entire CM Punk drama, which really exposed how lousy of an owner TK really is, creating an unsafe and hostile working environment and letting people go into business for themselves. This leaves viewers confused and disillusioned. I just can't get excited for AEW anymore and unless if things really change, I don't know if I want to tune in again. God bless guys like Samoa Joe, Claudio Castagnoli, and even Bryan Danielson for sticking it out, but at this rate, I'd much rather have Ring of Honor split off from AEW and have those guys go help build a better show than TK has put on in the last 2 years.
6006.03.2024VarsityAthlete1233.0AEW had the potential to be a different promotion and have real looking serious pro wrestling on national TV. Unfortunately most of the wrestling in AEW is video game wrestling, comedy & Spot monkey style of wrestling. This includes wrestlers doing a bunch of "cool" moves and spots, and not selling any of it. This style of wrestling only works for a small amount of fans because moves mean nothing, because everybody on the show does the moves. As far as storylines, none of the story lines are relevant enough to make somebody not a hardcore fan turn the TV on and watch the show. Hardcore fans of AEW are the only ones still watching at this point. Of course there are some great pro wrestlers on the show like FTR, MJF, Billy Gunn but the rest all wrestle the same. As a fan of good serious Pro wrestling this does hurt writing this and giving AEW a 3.0 rating.

6405.03.2024sarahlicity10.0All Elite Wrestling is like a grand buffet, in which there is truly something for everyone no matter what your tastes are. Do you like massive stories that span years? The rise of "Hangman" Adam Page to overcome his friend and rival Kenny Omega. is pure cinema. Want the wrestling itself to tell the tale? The 2023 Continental Classic is teeming with that. Do you like WWE-style sports entertainment? Chris Jericho and Christian Cage have you covered. Want something a bit more puro? Say hello to the likes of Will Ospreay. Technical wrestling? Bryan Danielson is the master of that craft. Eddie Kingston will give you brawling that almost feels real. Sting and Darby Allin represent the old legends and tomorrow's stars side-by-side. Jon Moxley will give you the greatest delights of hardcore wrestling. Orange Cassidy seamlessly merges comedy with his workhorse ethic. Both FTR and the Young Bucks constantly raise the bar for what to expect from tag team wrestling. And Mercedes Moné will soon bring the peak of women's wrestling into the house that Tony Khan built. The best in the world are nearly all under one roof and it truly is an embarrassment of riches. And hey, if you don't like what's on your screen, just wait 20 minutes; there'll be something different. A lack of competition breeds a lack of creativity, which turned so many people off wrestling over the past twenty years. AEW stood up to the plate and brought the feeling back for so many people. Truly elite.

6703.03.2024OKZ Will8.0At the beginning of their 5th year of existence, it's hard not to describe AEW as a resounding success. This company has been defined by 2 things: excellent in-ring wrestling, and wrestler lead presentation. It's been fantastic to see wrestlers in the USA given the agency to succeed or fail on their own terms for the first time in a very long time. And failure is a key here. The company has generally done a great job of pivoting when the audience has rejected, or embraced for that matter, an angle, a wrestler, or a story. A key standout that increases the overall score for me is the commitment to PPV quality. If you pay for a show, you know that you are going to get wall to wall top quality wrestling. My interest in the stories goes into my decision to purchase the show. I appreciate a company not ruining the matches on the paid show to further stories that will take place on free TV.

7328.02.2024cosmik debris3.0"The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." If you wanna be the alternative to sports entertainment, you cannot produce sports entertainment. Granted, it is an edgier version of it, but still nowhere near a serious sports presentation. I am mad at AEW specifically for not being able to be the alternative, after months of bragging about how rich and smart they were, and how many good wrestlers they had... They handed all of the buzz and interest to their rivals. There's really too many problems in the company to enumerate all of them, but a couple of fundamental ones make the product barely watchable. First of all, I understand kayfabe's dead, but that is not an excuse to write shitty, tongue-in-cheek storylines, that have no semblance or realism (or drama, or genuine comedy) or have none at all and set up random no DQ matches. I can count AEW memorable storylines on the fingers of one hand (and they mostly involve people who aren't even there anymore). Secondly, WORKRATE IS NOT ABOUT MOVES. And I say this as somebody who watches wrestling matches mainly looking for high level workrate, that is storytelling and psychology, I believe the vision of a "great match" that AEW has is just delusional, and brings forth nothing but copy and paste matches, with personalities noone will remember and even less memorable spots, while also being needlessly reckless. I mean the fact that some of AEW's "biggest stars" are literally one-trick ponies is quite telling: I think of Daniel Garcia's negative charisma cringey dance, of Orange Cassidy's silly shin kicks that were never funny to begin with (imagine after seeing them every week), of the Young Bucks' insufferable personas that have taken the concept of go away heat to a whole nother level. Moreover, this obession with dream matches with no build whatsoever make it so that no match is a real dream match in the end. There's so much more that should be said, from TK's inability to realize how inadequate and unexperienced he is as a booker and his refusal to put qualified people in charge, to much of the roster's refusal to listen to advice and adapt to a more consistent, less indierific style, to the ridiculous amount of useless belts nobody cares about, but unfortunately nobody's paying me to shit on this company. I root for AEW, I genuinely do, I am tired of the silly sports entertainment that the others have shoved down everybody's throat for decades, and AEW has shown that they CAN produce good wrestling if they want to (which makes their whole pointless programming even more infuriating) but right now the product overall just sucks.  And it's sad for the MJFs, the FTRs, the Jay White's, the Samoa Joe's, the Eddie Kingston's of this world, and I could go on because they do have a stacked roster with tons of talent, they just have no idea how to use it in a coherent and consistent way.
7426.02.2024Josh764.0I'd say the company overall is "adequate" as the name of a 4 out of 10 rating is. I've tried to watch it, but I never would watch it for the company, but simply for the talent they have. They try so hard to be the "cool" dad of the wrestling world. "Look guys! We have Jon Moxley, and Bryan Danielson! ArE yOu NoT eNtErTaInEd? " Calm down, the whole roster is a massive, and I mean massive, mixed bag. The 4 is for the superstars I enjoy watching and the fact that it gives the massive wrestling world a place for the wrestlers to get some TV time. I'll continue to give it a chance but for now, I'm not a huge fan.

8122.02.2024migrations10.0Trying to rate an entire promotion is nuts because you have to look at the past and the things the promotion has achieved as a a whole and you also have to look forward and ask if the promotion can project itself into the future. As for the past. AEW will be considered historical in wrestling for changing the American PW landscape. From the early moments of Mox's debut to the recent Sting retirement matches - AEW has delivered a rock solid reason to watch TV on a Wednesday (and Saturday) night. While some people complain - I think the company gets FAR more hate than it deserves. Tony Kahn has opened up a huge network of wrestling in America which actually has caused other companies to take serious notice. AEW over the years has become a fusion of some of THE best guys in the business. Business has stabilized but AEW has started major traditions like Wembley and Arthur Ashe. While AEW deals with major social media backlash still from last years All In and other events, Tony Kahn continues to deliver a great week by week product with new surprises again and again (Who guessed Samoa Joe would be AEW KING). As far as the future goes, this is ridiculous my boy. We are talking about Ospreay and Okada and Mone and Takeshita and Cole and SWERVE and Hangman and Darby and Omega and Mox and yeah the list goes on. This is probably the best wrestling roster ever. So that's me in '24 and I give them a 10 for completely mindshifting the entire pro wrestling landscape. If I come back in 10 years and everything goes bad I'll change me rating.
8222.02.2024HardcoreRobbo2k975.0AEW used to be a world class wrestling company but now it's sinking downhill a lot more faster than WCW did in 1998 to 2001 as Tony Khan announces the lineups of his shows way too much before they go on air Live and he's too delusional now to look at where he's going wrong and how he could improve his own product. For me the issues with the company aren't the talent, it's mainly Tony Khan putting his head in the sand and not caring about his own fans like he used too when AEW started. Tony Khan puts on shows extremely frequently in bigger venues which don't even sell out these days and have shocking attendances, while viewers and ratings are dropping each week because of his own questionable bookings and decisions that's already dampening the reputation of himself, his talent and most importantly AEW. The women's division of AEW needs a gigantic improvement as it's never been taken seriously enough from the offset. If he wants AEW's ratings on CageMatch to improve then Tony needs to look seriously in the mirror as if he doesn't, his company will keep declining as AEW used to be a 10/10 and I was watching the shows every week while looking forward to PPVs. I don't even feel that same buzz and excitement anymore because of Tony Khan's questionable bookings and decisions

8521.02.2024AmirTheEnforcer8.0I believe this promotion has rejuvenated the business in a lot of ways, they have a great roster, good matches and amazing ppvs. However, they do make some questionable bookings that can damage the company's reputation and credibility along with the backstage and twitter scandals. All in all, they are such a breath of fresh air specially in north America and their existence can benefit all, particularly the wrestlers and the fans.

8717.02.2024jameOP819.0What AEW is right now, and what it has been in the past, is almost exclusively what I've always wanted from wrestling. The past few months (September to November '23 to be exact) were absolutely dreadful, but the comeback has been immense from December to now, to the point where I'm actually going to a show of theirs in July.

8911.02.2024mxkami8.0Giving an 8. My weekly watches are stuff like Stardom, a few indies, and over the past year, TNA. I am not a tribalist fan, like a lot seem to be when it comes to this company, or "the big competition". My consumption of AEW these days is their YouTube clips, Twitter posts, and the occasional PPV if I am interested in the match card. Which directly lines up with my problem with this company and my rating. Most of the "stories" do not and cannot make me care. Currently Hangman/Swerve has gotten me interested, as well as Joe as champ and Sting's upcoming retirement as of posting. There's quite a bit of overpushing that occurs here, especially on the Women's side. I *adore* women's wrestling. Stardom is a favorite of mine, love the TNA Knockouts Division, and "you know who" has been on fire over the past year with the likes of matches from the big stars like Ripley and Belair, and others in "developmental" like Valkyria, Stratton, Perez, and Vice. But in AEW, why am I constantly having certain talent just constantly on TV in repeated losses when stars like Shida, Rosa, Baker (yes, I like Britt, cry more), and others with proven track records of getting over are not on TV? This goes to the men's and tag and trios divisions as well. Talent are overpushed, or not seen. And the stories don't make *a ton* of sense usually? And certain stuff is really disconnected? I say all those negatives, leading into the good because HOLY GOD, WHEN THEIR MATCHES ARE GOOD, THEY ARE F****** GREAT. Some of my fave matches have happened in AEW, but the booking and TK acting out on Twitter take me out of it quite often. While often being really long and kinda dragging, AEW's PPVs giving you 4 hours of matches for the price isn't a bad value in my mind. But, I get when people say 14 matches on a card is long. It can get wild. The big thing to remember is: everything doesn't have to be in competition with each other, and there can truly be alternatives. And AEW to me is a valid North American alternative that needs to find it's footing, and that spark and shine that was present when the promotion was freshly minted and new.
