[10.0] "When it comes to food analogies, NJPW truly is like gourmet food. One can argue about King's Road vs. Strong Style until the cows come home, but it's undeniable that both methods of wrestling are among the greatest in the world. Sure, there have been some really dud moments in NJPW's past, and outside the big events they may be somewhat pedestrian, but when it really matters, you can always count on the men in Japan to put on an amazing show."

[10.0] "All 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."

Kash wrote about Lucha Remontada:
[2.0] "Rising from the ashes of Lucha Libre assiciotiation operating in the eponymous bar in Paris, Lucha remontada attemps to relaunch a concept that once was, with people that once were. The beginnings are timid and frail, and the bar itself is -as it always was- way too small to host pro wrestling. I wouldn't wait too long on this promotion, that's only there to fuel your pro wrestling fan's needs if Nanterre's APC is too far for you, or closed."

[6.0] "AEW is in this weird place at the moment. They have good wrestling, Good championships and decent tag teams and good main event players but the biggest issues for me is the weeklies. The weeklies like Dynamite either rise and lower in quality in the most random times and the PPVs are great but how can we care if the stories usually aren't juicy. Rampage & Collision are as useless as trying to go up the stairs in a wheelchair and the attendances are lowering and the fanbase is slowly starting to turn on AEW. I hope they can make a turn around soon but as of now they are a decent promotion."

What with them still being relatively new, coming out of the pandemic, and people coming and going a lot, but TK and Co. have seemed to turn that perception around. Of course, booking isn't perfect, but EVERY PPV event delivers. They've got a tremendous system going for them, and 2024 looks to be a jam-packed thriller of a year for the promotion."

[8.0] "At 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."

[4.0] "Rating this company is truly a trial. What do you base it on? As a business entity it is a ten out of ten, most successful version of wrestling that has ever existed. As a a wrestling product, it is a zero out of ten that has never been remotely interested in whether or not the in-ring product was even remotely passable in comparison to it's contemporaries. Historically, it will always be synonymous with wrestling in the USA, and that is both because it penetrated the public consciousness to such a degree, and because it is directly responsible destroying the entire industry and rendering it no longer financially viable. I will never enjoy this companies product, and I will always consider Vince McMahon and anyone who has good things to say about him as undeserving of human dignity. His grave should be marked with an outhouse rather than a tombstone. But rating the company purely as a wrestling product? I'll go with 4/10: non-challenging, unmemorable, and slightly below replacement level."

[] "The 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."

[5.0] "The fixation on everything being squeaky clean, LED covered, easily marketable and micromanaged to death has made modern WWE feel like nothing unexpected or shocking ever really happens, which if you can recall is what made the company must watch television and a cultural cornerstone from 97 to 04. It's identity completely died and was reborn with the most corporatized stale image that you can imagine and that decision is reflected heavily in the mind-numbing angles, Marvel superhero characters, meaningless matches, no creative freedom, copy pasted sets and literally nauseating visual and audio production. These issues make sitting through a three hour RAW a complete drag for anyone but the indoctrinated. It's not about the product being kid friendly or it not having enough tits and blood, it's simply near impossible to take WWE seriously when they overstimulate the viewer with just about everything but good professional wrestling. There's a reason they haven't made any of their modern talents house hold names or brought wrestling back into the mainstream."

I used to use ditch.us back in college to access matches from the 90s, and have been excited to see Nakajima headlining the promotion now, though there's so much I would love to go back and see. Too bad I cannot find any of Joe Doering's title defenses on All Japan's streaming network!"

[1.0] "The problem with TPW is the person behind the curtain running it, this person has no problem lying in front of you. He will try to get your money but doesn't really love wrestling. Despite saying Vince NT is non longer the owner the reality show that he is still the one taking decisions. I put 1 star because in every places you can find good people but to be honnest i don't understand french established wrestler still working for TPW like Tom La Ruffa or Booster. This is the place for bad wrestlers and bad persons to meet apparently."

[3.0] ""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."

[9.0] "A real hidden gem of the British wrestling scene. Superb relationships with Japanese wrestling companies, in particular Dragon Gate now, and plenty of great international talent, alongside a whole host of their own home grown roster who are all superb. Shows combine the in ring skill and competition that many smarter fans seek, with a product that kids and families love. Also, in a scene that sees many of the same names utilised by promotion after promotion, they have a core roster group who are not - despite deserving more exposure - on almost every show you see advertised. Would wholeheartedly recommend people seek out Brit King Pro shows this year."

[0.0] "The worst company in the history of wrestling, bar none. Abhorrent morals through both business practices and workplace environment, and a product that has been awful for 99% of it's existence. The company responsible for showing the best of wrestling to the masses, who decided to teach the world the very worst side of it. Owned for the large majority of its life as of writing by an egotistical, psychopathic, clueless, racist, sexist pig who wreaked havoc on the business and the people within it both behind and in front of the camera. Their are good pieces of content hidden deep within the archives, and even some of it produced today, but it's all buried beneath some of the most disgusting "wrestling" ever produced by any company. Angles & matches so bad that any other company who produced it would have never recovered. Even if the company had produced something closely resembling a wrestling product across its existence, it would still regain its place as the worst company to ever exist due to the exploitation of deaths, the flagrant homophobia, sexism and racism, the bullying culture, the introduction to the wrestling business of Vince Russo, the rehabilitation to the reputation of literal murderers, the mass distribution of steroids which would shorten the careers and lives of many of the people who felt forced to indulge in it, the complete disregard for workers rights, the crushing of unionization, the employment of JBL, the monopolization of the entire industry, the backing of the republican party, the sexual assault of numerous employees, and the literal death of a wrestler due to negligence. The fact that if wrestling ever dies ( which I don't think will happen) this will be the company who's narrative will be studied by the historians who stumble across it is arguably the single worst thing for the legacy of the world's greatest sport. Or should I say sports entertainment."

[2.0] "Oh boy. This show was pretty bad. And I liked GLOW, POWW and WOW. Tried hard to look hip and cool, and failed badly. The skits were dire and outdated, in fact some were recycled from GLOW. For that matter, most of the gimmicks were too, from GLOW and Johnny C and Steve Blance's other DOA effort, CRUSH. Then there were the long segments of some of wrestlers frolicking on the beach in bikinis. They looked good, but somehow, they made it boring with the slow mo video footage. Then finally, there was the wrestling. It was okay. More so from the more seasoned girls but the newer green girls tried too. Usually just one or occasionally 2 matches. But it wasn't worth it to watch the show. Not surprisingly, it only lasted one 13-episode season, I hope they were paid well, at least, for this. Maybe not the worst all-women's wrestling fed, but close. The porny ones probably take that dubious honor."

Between the worst production imaginable, complete colour oversaturation and seizure inducing editing, unlistenable commentary, unbelievably awfully scripted promo verbiage, high school play level acting and the most boring formulaic matches imaginable, this company is the worst thing that ever happened to wrestling. They never wanted to be wrestling or be called wrestling and I think it's time for wrestling fans to fulfill their wishes and be done with them.

[10.0] "Trying 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."

[5.0] "AEW 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"

Of course, I can look back and see how bad a time that was from the onscreen product and definitely the backstage crap that was going on. Defended them way more than I should've. They're a solid promotion who has had better days.

[6.0] "I watch the Big 5 with my partner (MITB should absolutely be included with the Big 4), and occasionally will check out other "PLEs" if a card gains A LOT of traction. That said... This company has singlehandedly done the most to both help and harm the world of pro wrestling. "Eh! But see, this is 'sports entertainment! '" I get that. And usually, I am very "sports entertained". But the fact that you can't talk to someone about wrestling, without there always being a comparison to this company (Attitude Era made the most money, Hogan in the 80s is the biggest ever, Vince is a GOD, blah blah blah) shows exactly what is currently wrong with wrestling fandom. Also, let's look at their partners in TKO Holdings aka UFC/Endeavor. UFC own PowerSlap! , a slap fighting promotion. Does that inherently give UFC additional credibility, because they have the most money and most TV exposure for an EXTREMELY niche "sport"? No, it does not. "You're a nobody unless you wrestle here! ", a direct quote from fans who have no idea that people like Kurt Angle and Bryan Danielson and countless others did their best work outside of the company. The spectacle is awesome, don't get me wrong. But their programming is super formulaic (RAW is 3 hours, with usually 4 matches on average, and the rest is all advertising or promos), they listen to the dollar bill too often which leads them to frequently shoot themselves in the foot and stumbling into something that they claim was always the plan (lookin' at you, recent Cody/Roman/Rock stuff), and iffy at best partnerships with governments of countries with less than ideal public standing hurts this company A LOT in not only my eyes, but the eyes of many other people who enjoy this business. Not to mention, that the egomaniac who went out of his way to make this company into what it is, is and always has been a certified creep and a backstabbing businessman, leaving a trail of broken people, families, and former companies offering many employment, in his wake."

[7.0] "I love TNA. And it's currently my favorite mainstream North American promotion. No satire here. I *adore* TNA, and have converted my partner to the same mindset during their 6 years of watching pro wrestling as a whole. The best booked North American women's division (and it is NOT close, coming from someone who watches Japanese wrestling more than anything else), a stacked roster, some of the most beautiful Championship belts in the business as a whole, fun promotion-exclusive match stipulations, and a stroke of genius in rebranding back to TNA and going all in on themselves and their former identity. Yet, I only rate them a 7 as of today. I am not sure that there is a wrestling company today that has continued to have success (whether you like it or not) on the scale that they do, while simultaneously almost always shooting themselves in the foot... then the d***... then breaking all of their own fingers. When it's good, you go "wow... people should put some respect on TNA... look at these matches, look at this roster"... Then the inevitable happens and we all once again just collectively sigh and go "oh... there it is." Top this with today's climate of them forcing Scott D'Amore out of the company because he felt that there needed to be a shift in procedure to maintain their momentum, and you have a cocktail of everything TNA embodies, thus making those of us who stick around feel unseen, sad, and unfulfilled."

Theres talent and stuff Ive liked and still like in AAA over the years but its really become apparent to me over the past several years that AAA is probably not getting away from playing second fiddle to CMLL for a very long time if ever with the way it is.

They randomly decide to retire championships or not with the original IWGP Heavyweight Title & The IWGP US Belt. The Women's Titles arent focused on much. The NEVER Openweight Title is a hot potato.

Yes, it's small potatoes (sorry, fellow ROH lovers, but you know it to be true in comparison to "competition"). But the work and matches in this promotion's history are NUTS. Danielson v KENTA? Or anyone else for that matter because this is the American Dragon's playground? Kobashi v Joe? Roddy v Ace at War of the Worlds? Nigel v Jimmy Rave where we get the true origin of the Jawbreaker? Steenerico v Briscoes Ladder War? Truly, a diamond mine full of gems in the match catalog. Then, the company was bought by Tony Khan. It was sterilized and given big lighting panels and vanilla set design, where it basically acts like AEW's version of NXT. And for me... That is really not okay. ROH is now a shell of what it was, and the reactions are usually "That's still around? / I haven't seen ROH in forever... Who is even there? / etc." Questionable booking choices of TK, backstage incidents with talent being granted their release after shows go off air... It's not a great look. I think it's unfair to just tank the rating because of how ROH currently does business, but I myself have and can see criticisms as well. Now if you'll excuse me... I'm gonna go watch Steenerico vs Young Bucks from Contention '09. And cry and cry and cry, reminiscing about the good ol' days."

[8.0] "Transparency: I have been a fan of the founders of this company for a handful of years now. And my partner and I are Patrons of the company, and have been for a while. BUT, that truly does not influence my rating as such. If it did, I'd blindly give it a 10. But, here's the truth. It's now a super-Independent, and a f****** outstanding one. If you think it's bad, cool. But tell that to the more established companies that are now prominently poaching talent from them. Lucky Ali and Jay Malakai are now in NXT. Bryan Keith, after years of grinding on the road, is now signed to ROH, and will more than likely see his way to AEW TV frequently in the upcoming future. Shows are paced well, matches have the right winners booked, and I love that they prominently use tournaments, especially the Carolina Classic and their outstanding booking of tag teams in said tournaments. My word, the library of tag teams/tag matches that have been a part of DPW are WILD. Violence is Forever, Workhorsemen, Super Smash Bros, Motor City Machine Guns, Grizzled Young Vets... They bring over talent from Japan, and treat them with respect and the spotlight that they deserve... Just good stuff. I take points away due to the company only being a few years old and not truly established, and for just certain Indy things of today that get to me (it's a personal thing with promos... I find that a lot Indy workers who grab a mic nowadays take me out of it, as well as overuse of certain spots by talent. But, again, that's today's Indies). I could absolutely see this company exploding over the next couple of years, as they're gaining lots of traction. A great starting point if you're looking into watching some Indies, especially if you enjoy women's wrestling, tag wrestling, or stipulation matches that matter (looking at you Tankman v Corino in a steel cage 13-minute sprint where they just killed each other for the title at You Already Know 2024... That card also has the fantastic match of Lady Frost v Miyuki Takase for the DPW Women's title, and countless other bangers. Actually, just go watch that show; great stuff)."

[8.0] "Giving 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."

But this promotion is insanely important to where wrestling is as a whole even to this day. Austin, Pillman, Rude, Cactus, Funker, Mysterio, Guerrero, RVD, Taz, Raven, The Dudleyz... All had moments here. Not just moments, but moments of importance. If you don't like ECW, that is truly understandable. But to just say the same old s*** like "mudshow", "carnies", or my personal favorite "nothing but addicts" is laughable. Boy, do I have some news for you about locker room culture and what went on in 80s/90s WWF.

[1.0] "I feel awful giving an independent wrestling promotion a harsh score, but unfortunately this wrestling promotion truly deserves it. For context, this wrestling promotion USED to be at the very least adequate for an indie - fun matches with decent star-power in the local indie Springfield scene, you could tell a lot of the people there really cared about the wrestlers. That all changed in the beginning of 2023 when Steven Lucas, one of the owners made transphobic remarks in regards to another promotion's match, behavior of his which apparently wasn't new and which PWA swept under the rug. And if memory serves right, the promotion was already under fire for how late they were to call an ambulance for Victor Analog after an injury. After that happened, numerous wrestlers and announcers (including people who were trained by PWA) ended up dissociating from the promotion entirely. Spencer Powers, arguably the "hometown hero" of the promotion who held their main belt, pretty much just stopped wrestling in general, while the younger headliners of the promotion such as Victor Analog (probably the best wrestler who's ever been on their roster) and Anakin Murphy moved on to more prominent promotions in the St Louis area. With that, and the fact that they stopped being able to get wrestlers like Matt Cardona to wrestle for one-time events in their pomotion, led to their current state in 2024. Now, all of the former mid-card acts they used to have - the wrestlers who were too old and out of shape to have any true amount of potential in wrestling - are treated as their main stars, since everyone younger left the promotion. The women's wrestling portion isn't too bad, but the promotion in general just lost all of the feeling that the promotion used to have."

[2.0] "The one fed that people outside of Europe and the Americas keep hearing of. Now that I've spent 8 sporadic years keeping an eye on WWE, I'm very confident in saying that it has become one of my least favorite feds of all time despite it becoming much more competent during Triple H's era. Here are my issues with this fed: 1) Their roster is incredible, but they don't know how to use all of them to their fullest potential, and they also decide who we should care about (that 2019 "You are the authority" promo keeps getting funnier each year) based on morals and tales that are so out of touch. Also, it is outright embarrassing that they keep releasing talent while they keep breaking making a fuck ton of money. 2) Why do they hate tag team wrestling so much? The level of quality of WWE's tag team scene goes as following, one step forward, 5 steps back. Look no further than the booking at any given year for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. None of the tag teams who won these belts feel like they excel in ring psychology, same goes for the movesets, they don't feel inspiring. There's no need to give a spotlight to tag team wrestling if they're not going to treat it with the importance it deserves. 3) The Saudi Arabia partnership. Need I say more? 4) The biggest focus is the E in WWE, case in point, Akira Tozawa vs Ricochet sounds like a dream match for anyone who saw them in New Japan, but nobody would give a donkey's shit about them wrestling in WWE, because it is a perpetual glorified TV show that emphasizes on characters and storylines much more than workrate and performances. However, the one saving grace from that specific complaint has been Gunther, and I hope he keeps thriving as the upcoming unstoppable final boss. 5) PPV non-finishes, it is non only insulting to the viewer's intelligence but also to his/her money. Why would you do that? 6) Final point, it is absolutely unnecessary for WWE to ever book no-DQ matches. These matches are far too pedestrian, and their level of creativity along with the PG-type restrictions make it impossible for the matches to showcase any shock value nor entertainment. Thankfully, I've discovered other wrestling companies who seem to do fine with this type of match. That's it, I'm tired of writing about them. There's no reason for anyone who cares about professional wrestling to invest into this company in any way, because they themselves have made it obvious that they're too focused on an E more than a W."

Both TV titles, the US tag titles, and the junior title all need to be removed, there's no point in having so many championships with such a small roster. The world title needs to be taken off of Tyrus, he's doing no favors to the company. We also need Cyon to lose the national title. When all that happens, I'll give a better rating.

Unfortunately so much of the company is dedicated to play wrestlers getting their buddies on TV and no one takes anything seriously. Up and down the talent roster you get some truly great talent like Jay Lethal, Keith Lee, Darby Allin, and the list goes on. But so much time is dedicated to silliness with redundant angles and segments. This company has time to grow and they have put on some the best wrestling in years, however it gets bogged down in indyriffic nonsense too often. Part of me wonders if fans will give AEW a pass on everything because it is the only legitimate competition to WWE since 2001 because some of the stuff that makes air is truly ridiculous. * I would also like to note that AEW is a case study in what happens when a mark books a territory and how wrestlers are their own worst enemies in regards to booking themselves."

[3.0] "this promotion shames the profession. Wrestlers are often students put on shows too early. the storylines are sloppy, poorly executed and poorly developed. Apparently a lot of guys are not paid as agreed after the show and the wrong people are put forward. there must be 4 or 5 guys who are good wrestlers and who should leave because they really aren't helped by the structure and boring storylines offered by AYA."

[6.0] "WWE isn't a easy promotion to rate because there's some horrendous stuff but also some amazing stuff, thankfully seems to be in better hand with Triple H (though i'am really not fan of his work as a booker) because in 2017-2022 when Vince McMahon was doing his bullshit this was absolutely awful and unwatchable with some incomprehensible, illogical and STUPID booking decisions until a point you can't watch it with people not really into wrestling (the kind of persons who watch when they have the time or there's nothing else to watch you know) without being cringed, it was one of the worst period in WWE history quality standpoint. The 2015-2016 is one of my personal favorite period of this promotion, maybe because it's back when i got back into wrestling but there also was some memorable storylines and matches that we still talk about nowadays. Every period has its up and downs, we had Jeff Hardy winning his first WWE championship but we also had Katie Vick, we had the rivalry between Stone Cold and Vince McMahon but we also had a rivalry between Reigns and Corbin where Roman Reigns ate dog food, we had Daniel Bryan winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 30 but we also had Val Venis feuding with Yakuzas. Now the product has improved since Vince McMahon left the booking management but i still find it stale because most thing seem predictable. This promotion will always be beloved and hated but one thing is sure is that most of wrestling fans wouldn't be what they are without WWE and even if WWE doesn't longer suit with me, i recognize that without this promotion i won't be the wrestling fan i'am now."

[10.0] "This promotion popped into my head for the first time in half a decade and now I can't stop thinking of the memories. This promotion was so fun, wild and a blast to watch every time. Between the talents they had on their shows, the quality of matches, the amounts of sheer hilarity and absurdism along the way, the crowds, their social media game, etc, this was the hottest indy in Texas for a while. They even mastered the idea of doing shows live on Twitch, which helped their popularity. It became a super indy to a degree, without fully going there. I still miss it and always will. At least their shows are still on Twitch and youtube, so those memories can still be relived to a degree. I miss those days."

[6.0] "Kind of sad to see this promotion go. Their style was decently fun a mix of British wrestling a tad bit of a bunch of other styles. Also I just love the theme of a carnival based wrestling promotion, it's a cool aesthetic even if they didn't lean heavily into it. I'd say check out what this defunct promotion has on their youtube you might like what you see."

Tony said that 2024 AEW would be like 2021 AEW, and I can only hope that he delivers on that, because the company (to me) is nowhere near the heights of that era anymore"
