They really need to cut the roster down to a manageable size.

Find a separate TV deal for ROH, and not have guys fighting there in WWE or AEW style matches, ROH was unique, I think giving Jericho the title was silly, he doesn't need the title, he's not really a wrestler but a performer. Make ROH a seperate "wrestling company".

The booking and story lines aren't good, they have some good story, but for the most part its very WCW Vince Russo feeling that they're writing stories for smart fans.

Stop with all of the dangerous high BS spots on weekly shows, they become meaningless. And you just end up injuring your workers badly, because a lot of these people aren't safe anyways. If you have a proper producer that knows how to ask why.

"I want to do a triple flip onto the other guy through a flaming barb wire table tonight"

"Why"

"Because it will look cool and get me over"

"No it won't and likely you'll botch it and kill the other guy, denied, come up with a logical match".

I'm serious when I say that they need a experienced talent relations guy that's not a boy or girl in the back. Seriously, Do you think if a guy like JR was in charge of talent relations would have let the Page and Punk thing get to the point it did. Not at all.

The whole experiment of letting wrestlers ad live their promo's and put some structure to the workers. Not everyone is a Steve Austin or to an extent Moxley who can actually ad live a coherent promo. "You know ME . . . . You don't know me".

Tony has to really stop booking, he just does. For the most part, its ok to bring in a booker and a writer, and then Tony can just approve or not approve.

If AEW wants to grow, it wants to get by the whole we're going to cater to one small segment of the overall fan base. Their numbers are pretty stagnant because the show doesn't appeal, and AEW has never defined what kind of wrestling company it is.

Even at its wooliest ECW days, Heyman did realize that hardcore would only take him so far, and he bought in actual good workers to appeal to traditional wrestling fans.
