425.03.2024Tasmo127.0AEW seems to be at a rising period again after the failure of late 2023 to early 2024. Revolution & The Dynamite Reboot really helped AEW in so many ways. It had that old AEW feeling again that everyone misses and we have some banger matches on TV lately but theirs still those issues prevelent. We still have the Undisputed Kingdom storyline which seems to be at a roadblock until MJF returns. Still have those start and stop pushes, An overcrowded roster and even with the signing of Mercedes Mone it seems like the ratings haven't changed. The Trios Championships are useless, The Women's World Title is being treated poorly and it seems that AEW forgot that the TBS title exists [***3/4].

919.03.2024FuzzGod9.0I 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.
1018.03.2024IDriveAFordFusion7.0AEW 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.

2011.03.2024Witselfan10.0All time Great PPV and not a weak spot on this card. 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!
2109.03.2024houseofcopeland8.0Ah 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.
2208.03.2024MediumSizedMAC8.0Reinvigorated my love for Pro Wrestling after years of soul crushingly boring and nonsensical booking decisions from the competition. Far from perfect, but having faith that I'm not wasting 4 hours of my life a week on a weekly television show where they actually showcase wrestling and try to make things matter is certainly a breath of fresh air. When they do things right, they do things *really* right and I love it. Some talent I'm not fond of gets pushed harder than I would if I were booking the show, but in my opinion wrestling should be a variety show, and I truly believe that there's a little bit of everything for everyone in AEW.

2606.03.2024mjs22123.0AEW 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.
2706.03.2024VarsityAthlete1233.0AEW 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.

3105.03.2024sarahlicity10.0All 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.

3304.03.2024PositiveMirror11 I was concerned 2024 was going to be a tough year for AEW. 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.

3503.03.2024OKZ 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.

3702.03.2024Chev008 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.

4228.02.2024cosmik 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.

4426.02.2024Josh764.0I'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.

5122.02.2024migrations10.0Trying 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.
5222.02.2024HardcoreRobbo2k975.0AEW 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

5521.02.2024AmirTheEnforcer8.0I 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.

5717.02.2024jameOP819.0What 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.

5911.02.2024mxkami8.0Giving 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.

7002.02.2024justenjoywrestling A promotion that started off with unsustainable buzz and impossible expectations, as well as being dogged by a group of prominent industry talking heads who continue to want it to fail. Despite all the flaws AEW's settled in to a role as a good alternative for older fans with more focus on the wrestling. The weekly shows might lack momentum at times because of random booking, but the PPVs almost always deliver in style. Looking forward to seeing Ospreay joining and where they go with the women's division which looks to be hotting up at last.

7727.01.2024GhassaneJabri7.0After 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, AAA, 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.

8025.01.2024butthead420697.0As a big fan of AEW since early 2020, I feel like I go back and forth on my feelings on the company quite a bit. On one hand the consistently high-quality wrestling, insanely talented roster, and unforgettable storylines (Hangman/Elite, MJF/Punk, MJF/Cole, Hangman/Swerve, Moxley/Kingston, Elite/BCC to name a few) make me want to give them a 9 or 10 some days. On the other, the awful misuse of talent, mismanagement spilling over into the actual product, constant fumbling of the third act, and nigh on ripping the prestige right out of almost every single belt (remember how great the TNT belt was before Sammy got a hold of it? ) have me barely paying attention through most Wednesday nights over the past year or so when prior to that I couldn't take my eyes of the damn TV for a second. It's a shame too, since I really do still enjoy the product overall but don't feel like I can get invested as much with how poorly everything has been handled as of late. Most titles don't mean anything anymore, the women's division is treated like an absolute joke despite having a ton of potential, every match ends EXACTLY as you'd expect, and booking to pop the crowd rather than upset anyone has led to the product starting to feel stale. On top of that, the ADHD booking that comes with every new star has wrecked any ability to get invested in any potential rises to the top of the card. Remember how things looked when Andrade, Malakai, Athena, and Miro first signed with the company? Andrade was set to put on some incredible matches, Malakai showed up with arguably the best debut in the company, Athena looked like the only person capable of ending Jade's TBS reign of terror, and Miro had arguably the best run in the history of the TNT belt, and now where are they? None of them have been on the company's flagship show in months, Andrade jumped ship, Miro has spent his time since dropping the belt in several lackluster feuds, Malakai hasn't been utilized properly since the HoB first won the trios titles, and Athena jobbed out to Jade and hasn't been seen on AEW TV in ages. Original guys aren't even immune to this either: Take a look at where Santana/Ortiz, Spears, Wardlow, and Penta (who should NOT be losing every single high-profile match he's involved in) have ended up. Frustrations aside, for every complaint I have with AEW we get storylines like Orange's International Title run, the continual rise and fall of Hangman, MJF's constantly dynamic development, and Wardlow's warpath towards destroying MJF; shows like All Out '21, Full Gear '21, Forbidden Door, Revolution '23, All Out '23, and WrestleDream; and matches like Hangman vs. Danielson, Orange vs. Moxley, Young Bucks vs. Lucha Bros, Page vs. Strickland, MJF vs. Danielson, Anarchy in the Arena 1, or Darby vs. Christian. Overall, I really wish I could rate them higher as the potential is absolutely there (as we saw back in '21) but with the GLARING issues they've been facing lately, even a 7 feels generous. Thankfully the roster is talented enough to carry them through the massive problems they've been having as of late.
8124.01.2024ModernFamilyCam While certainly not perfect, and often frustrating, AEW provides a high-budget and often high-quality alternative to other Western wrestling promotions. As the company continues to grow, it inevitably loses some of the charm it had in the first few years of its existence, but the freedom given to the performers and production team makes for a much rawer feeling than other major wrestling promotions. Simply put, if the other wrestling programs are too polished or not polished enough, AEW may be for you. The promotion has thus far successfully walked the line between revolutionary super-indy and high-budget major blockbuster promotion. While the AEW television product has many faults that their competitors also have, the company's strengths lie within its world-class roster of talent, targeting of an intelligent demographic, and raw feeling not found in other major Western promotions. Currently, it is the best wrestling promotion in the world, with plenty of room to grow, and an opportunity to become the greatest promotion of all-time.

8322.01.2024BruceMarcos5247.0AEW was solid from 2019-2022. Watched their first event, Double or Nothing in 2019, and I think AEW may have been the potential of becoming the American version of NJPW because of it. I just hope that if they keep that momentum like those years, I will give them a 9 for now and if for some few years they manage to hold on to that momentum, it would be a solid 10. When its inception, I was so thrilled that finally we got to have a solid competition in American wrestling after 18 years. No doubt it was a milestone in wrestling history. One of the biggest signings include Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, CM Punk and Bryan Danielson and no doubt they helped develop this company. This company even lures lapsed wrestling fan after years of disappointment in the American wrestling show. This promotion, especially its first three years were the most enjoyable and the most entertaining period on its short history. Nowadays, I got mixed feelings with it. With constant new signings, bloated roaster, lack of authority, copying moments and anticlimactic spots. It was even worse when toxic die-hard fanatics were developed and bringing tribalism to the wrestling community. Another huge problem is the poor management of handling real incident backstage. Since the AEW All Out 2022 media scrum incident, AEW has been exposed as just another political tripping company and the company that couldn't handle real-heat situations. Also, the way of presenting their women's wrestlers is underwhelming. But still, their matches are quite good and very entertaining to watch. I just hope AEW would catch-up, as I have more faith on improving their product than the other big company in the US. But despite my criticisms, AEW is still the best wrestling promotion in USA. If you want your friends to introduce them to pro-wrestling, recommend them by watching AEW.

8521.01.2024Jeezus2.0[1.00/5.00]: It's just so heinously sad at this point that what once was a respected alternative turned into the very thing they despised to be. AEW between 2019-2022 (up until Brawl Out) was must-see Television with no misses in their specials and consistent booking, AEW had the right to be earned as the best wrestling promotion in not only in America, but perhaps of the World, but now it's just a shell of its former self. I guess most of this is not what I care for anymore, I'm sure people who still watch it are still into it, but it's not for me anymore. Inconsistent booking of their wrestlers, having 0 character arcs for them to overcome, overreliance and burying of titles by overexposing them and Tony Khan's insufferable personality mixed in with some of the worst wrestling I have ever been subjected to. Kicking out of devastating finishers at 1, or sometimes not even selling it, Eddie Kingston as a whole, and the entire weekly package is just monotonic in its nature, you get practically the same feud every week, that's just copy/pasting of the previous ones. What once was the top babyface in Hangman Adam Page, is just going in random ever longing feuds with no context going behind it and nothing of value after it except for "oh they had that one brilliant bloody match where one stapled his man tits and the other drank his blood before spitting it out." Great match though but that's what AEW is just reduced to now, being a spectacle for one night and just ignoring everything else that makes wrestling great rest of the year because they don't make me or several of us care about the product. What I'm basically trying to get here is that AEW is the equivalent of a fast food chain, has everything that appeals to a less attention span individual, make everything to the likes of the consumer without putting much heart into it and then provide it in the greasiest looking bag lacking any presentation quality. It does have several room to improve, having multitudes of great talent at their disposal, but sadly that's not the case for quite some time now.

8918.01.2024detgip AEW is a company with many ups and downs, from match quality to roster they are fantastic. however due to management issues, repeating disappointing patterns, and at times very questionable booking decisions AEW can be polarizing. Even with that AEW can put on great shows albeit with noticeable flaws.
9018.01.2024Kiokio878 [8.0] Thanks to AEW in 2020 I back watch pro wrestling cause of them so many beautiful storyline and match happened of course it's not perfect sometimes they do bad angle and match but that's wrestling it's normal. Also in 2024 I can see they're put more effort and focus on women division they got solid women on their promotion people like Deonna Purrazzo, Hikaru Shida, Serena deeb, etc is gonna bring some banger match.. Also I hope this year they need improving their tag team and trio division overall AEW always bring me joy whenever I watch Wrestling

9217.01.2024Lupus Immortalis8.0Ich fühle mich bei AEW nach wie vor gut unterhalten - als Wrestling-Fan, der zeitlebens hauptsächlich den "Mainstream" konsumiert hat. Dennoch kann ich meine ursprüngliche Bewertung von 10 Punkten aus dem Jahr 2021 nicht aufrecht erhalten, da sich leider auch bei AEW inzwischen Elemente eingeschlichen haben, die mir nicht zusagen. Die Promotion hat zu viele Titel meiner Meinung nach, und das Booking der Women's Division ist leider immer noch unterdurchschnittlich. Trotzdem bleibt es dabei, dass AEW meine neue Wrestling-"Heimat" ist.

9416.01.2024lukasmgc9.0Let me make one thing clear, I am basing this off of sheer match quality. I should make that clear. Not events, not backstage drama, not the wrestlers and not Tony Khan. The only thing I will say is there PPV Build up sucks and storylines are non existent. After watching 51 AEW Matches I have come to the consensus. This is an okay promotion. The matches are good but some aren't as god tier as their made out to be. They get really good crowds for every week usually full of really great fans. Every match I've seen is just wrestling at its finest (if it is actual wrestling.) Good stuff. Now the bad that I observed. They suffer from a lot of things that there fanbase claims they don't have or what they wish you wouldn't look into. For example, they marked themselves as a real sport however I notice that in some cases there are hardly any rules. Wrestlers are free to wander around the outside of the ring freely when no such stipulation has been added that would allow them to do so without being counted out. The refs seem to let that slide. It's a lot like ECW refs if you know what I mean. No rules which is okay but ECW made it clear there were no rules. I would also like to say that it prides itself on not being sports entertainment and actual pro wrestling. It's fans (this is the last time I bring them up, this is not meant to be a hit piece) pride themselves on the idea that this has zero sports entertainment. Through my observations this is baselessly untrue. This is in the debate for having the same if not more sports entertainment then AEW. Some of the matches can be really overbooked and have way too many false finishes, so the same issues Black and Gold NXT had. They also it feels like overuse those tropes a lot and have a lot of heavy theatrics. Some things are there that I wouldn't call wrestling but that's subjective all I'll say. Every match kinda feels the same at points. Start, Action, Slow Pace, Action, Slow Pace, Spots, False Finish A, Spots, Interference (optional), False Finish B, Action, Drama, Climax, Finish. It's all very formulaic. And you know I feel like they are just as sports entertainment as WWE when it comes to in ring. They do overuse gimmick matches it feels to me. Texas Death Matches, Tornado Tags you know. ESPICALLY when it comes to TDM but I digress I could just be looking at it wrong or something. I feel like it half the stuff they market themselves around is appealing but when you actually watch and see how they're matches are structured, how the promos are done, it's a very WWE-NXT Black and Gold inspired schtick just slightly tweaked. Maybe it's just me. Conclusion: AEW offers something for everyone however despite what it markets itself around, it is very much the same sports entertainment as WWE and suffers from repetitive and some what exhausting matches but in ring wise it delivers on every hit. 8/10 good.

9616.01.2024TripleCrown4.0I really liked the initial AEW, having a few big names in the promotion was really refreshing. Their biggest mistake was just signing anybody with a name, especially ones who left WWE under the covid situation. Lots of good wrestlers there, but the promotion stood out the most when it was independent wrestlers with a few big names. The women's division is non-existent, WWE during the diva era featured women more than AEW does, which is really saying something. Doing cross promotion stuff with the likes of NJPW & TNA is fantastic, but AEW has slowly became a second rate WWE. Biggest thing they need to do imo is start doing the little things right. There's no long-term planning (aside from the devil thing, but the pay-off for that made no sense as both MJF & Adam Cole are injured.) Lastly, Tony Khan needs to get off Twitter sooner rather than later. You wouldn't catch Vince McMahon crying about stuff online like Tony does. Needs to stop acting like a mark and actually get a grip of himself and of his promotion.
9715.01.2024Damian Gibson10.0No AEW and I'm not watching wrestling, there are people in the wrestling world that will try and convince you that AEW is a bad company that has no stories etc, it's all rubbish. AEW is punk rock, it's cool, it's fun, the wrestlers have control of their own creative, it's young and vibrant, WWE is Bon Jovi, AEW is Idles.
