I personally do not understand AEW anymore. I have loved what AEW was. I was their biggest cheerleader. All i ever wanted from AEW was to be AEW, thats it. But TK wanted ROH, and New Japan and CMLL to be apart of it as well. I just wanted AEW to stand on its OWN! Im sure im not alone in that regard. I have stopped watching AEW two years ago and its sad that all of my gripes are still happening to this day. The focus on older talent like Sting, Jeff Jarett, Ric Flair, and Bryan Danielson. There is no variety anymore. No excitement, no storylines worth watching. No feuds worth investing in. AEW is utterly lifeless, and has been for a very very long time.
I cannot believe TK literally turned into Vince McMahon. He just books for himself, and literally NOBODY else. It may have TKs money to keep it rolling for years to come, and they might land a deal at some point for other cable channels but the company itself will be dying a slow death. Because all the problems and consequences will get worse and worse year after year. AEW will never grow because TK is stuck in his ways, and will never ever change. He will continue to throw money at wrestlers in hopes that will bring in viewers. He will keep putting on bangers, in hopes that will keep peoples attention. He lost what the original vision of AEW was, and that will never be brought back again, because his money and ego thinks he is doing an awesome job. It will take the company to actually fold before he realizes, he made mistakes, and yes , then it will be too late. Ego kills companies, and will eventually kill AEW.
