No and its fair, I mean I watch so little wrestling nowdays and its so hot and cold with both companies.
You look at WWE and they came off what I thought was a pretty strong PPV, but there were in the words of Jim Cornette peaks and valleys. The two rumbles delivered as did Reigns vs Owens. But in the valley Bray and Knight was awful in every ways and the woman's title match really didn't deliver.
With AEW, I'd argue that the booking is really atrociously bad right now. I'd argue that a lot of the wrestlers have really bad and sloppy work rates. They're over reliant on the whole blood gimmick and whoever is producing their TV show seems to capture every single blade, which while hilarious to me just looks dumb.
I had higher hopes for Moxley, but like he was in WWE he's really a one trick pony, and I think his promo quality has slid.
I'm sick of Jericho, I used to be a fan, but Jericho at this time is really nothing more then a vampire or parasite gloaming onto people and sucking their heat from them. I honestly think that Jericho needs a Vince or HHH or a filter guy that will take out his bad ideas.
There are too many factions, and belts and managers, and the roster is way too large.
I think Omega is in charge of the Woman's division which to me is just not good, there are bright points like Hayter, who trust me is going to become a Star and Baker though the Saraya thing just really nuked her.
MJF was way better pursuing the title, but he's not great as the top guy, and that promo last night was far beyond being in bad taste, and that gets you the wrong type of heat. AEW still doesn't understand the difference at times.
Taking the Belt off the Acclaimed for the Gunn Club, just a bizarre booking decision.
Yes, I've always been a fan of Samoa Joe, I still want to know what happened to him when the Ninja's kidnapped him in TNA. But I think they should Lesnar him.
Darby Allan I get the appeal, but he's not really my type of worker to be honest. But that's me.
Danielson is one of the best in ring workers that they've got now that the former Cesario is booked into oblivion, but the booking around him doesn't help.
When you look at the quarter hour breakdowns of most shows, you can see the show start strong, then they announce whats going to happen and they just bleed audience members, especially when the Bucks show up or Jericho shows up or most Woman's matches happen.
I honestly think one of the biggest problems with AEW isn't the workers even though they have far too many of them. Its the egos of Tony, the Bucks and Omega, they're not listening to their audience and their core group of fans is shrinking.
