Because aew does not know how to tell stories, develop characters and make feuds mean something based off a single match.
Why do all feuds go right to a stipulation match?
Why do they skip right to a stipulation match ie cage right away and the parties involved have never fought in a normal match,, insane. The right way Is to build heat and eventually get there to a grand finale match.

They rely heavily on hardcore matches to get buzz. Which is lazy booking.
You mean the way in which you have been conditioned to....Why do they skip right to a stipulation match ie cage right away and the parties involved have never fought in a normal match,, insane. The right way Is to build heat and eventually get there to a grand finale match.
There is more than one way to tell a story. You don't have to follow the same blueprint every time... each and every story should be treated as it's own story and not necessarily be formatted to be told in the same way.
And not all stories go straight to a strip match, Jay White and Ricky Starks certainly did not nor did Jericho and Starks as two recent storylines that stick out.
Because they’re not running the same match over and over. That’s pretty rare, and is usually a Jericho feud. I much prefer the Gedo style booking where singles rematches are infrequent to a degree similar to real combat sports.
Because AEW booking is in the hands of somebody who ran an E-Fed. It's literally fantasy wrestling. Nobody fantasizes about a singles match.
Well.....except me, because I never see any good ones anymore.

Because booker of the year doesn't actually know how to book.
I mean, the first thing to say is that obviously you are exaggerating, and ALL feuds do not go right to the stipulation match.
The second thing to say is that there is no right way. Especially in the age of sports entertainment when so many people try and tell us that nobody gives a shit about wrestling. You don't need a series of matches to build heat. Jericho and Cole have done a pretty good job building the heat without matches, the BCC and the Elite have done a great job at it. Given that AEW don't make a habit of spamming rematches it is fine to do it this way sometimes.
Wardlow and Christian obviously have not done such a good job, and the funny thing there is that if Christian had been the one to suggest the ladder match it would have made all the sense in the world. It's hotshot booking to try and make a bigger deal out of a randomly thrown together match to try and further entice folks to buy the PPV. I would have thought Christian's promos would have been plenty to do that, but since he made that one gaffe we haven't even seen the guy.

Christian had Luchasauras go get the ladder and then they used the ladder and their numbers advantage to beat Wardlow down. Wardlow's response was that he would beat Christian at his own game.
Wardlow is giving Christian exactly what he wants, and it makes sense for the heel to try and con the face into a match that gives him an experience advantage.
Right now the heel thinks he has the baby face right where he wants him. And if a heel Christian loses, he can lean into easily claiming Wardlow didn't "beat him" and Wardlow knows he can't submit or pin Christian which is why Wardlow wanted a ladder match etc.
Because TK can't book for shit, and won't hire anyone to help him since he thinks he knows best.
AEW relies on too many gimmick matches in general. I think the fact they don’t feel as special anymore is a big reason interest is down for AEW in the U.S.
Actually he has multiple people around him helping. We don't know how much but there are a handful of names around him helping.Because TK can't book for shit, and won't hire anyone to help him since he thinks he knows best.
Tony's booking is the absolute drizzling shits. I'm going to assume he surrounds himself with yes men because I have no idea how he has anyone telling him half his ideas are good. It also doesn't help he prefers gimmick matches and spot fests. He books to his own liking. No wonder he's lost a large portion of the TV audience.
Bad and lazy booking. Lack of training too.
Are you saying Meltzer's opinions are biasedBecause booker of the year doesn't actually know how to book.
Because AEW is full of indie shitters trained by circus clowns and guys WWE no longer wants.
WWE guys who have lost their motivation to try any more given one date a week to work and validate their laziness. Plus a whole load of indy geeks who think they have made it because they are on TV and don't listen to advice although they have so many bad indy habits ingrained. Oh and people with bad ideas like jericho and the elite and moxley have way too much influence over the booker. Oh and too much creative control been given without checks and balances.
Tony finally gave in to WF and hired a booker. Unfortunately, it's Vince Russo.
Someone with severe ADHD is the booker.
