The only one I kind of don't like is them not being allowed to take stuff out of fans' hands, etc. I get the safety aspect of it, but MJF throwing a drink in a little kid's face was great stuff, and one of my favourite parts of year 1 AEW was Hangman crushing beers that fans would give to him.
Also of note, it sounds like WB/Discovery are very happy with both Collision an Dynamite. I'm assuming the PVR and streaming numbers are much better than what the TV ratings are, but even with the TV ratings, they're consistently ranking in the top 10 of cable programming.
There are also rumblings that WB/Discovery want them to start doing monthly PPVs, which are probably overdue anyways. For instance, the Blood and Guts match next week should absolutely be a PPV bout, but they can't drag that storyline on any further.
