Not that that is AEW specific, but they are often guilty.

On the high spots thing...I blame the production TBH. You realize how good a job of this WWE actually does when you go to live events.
WWE wrestlers do this too, but their production helps mask it. AEW it's the opposite, the camera guy will just focus on the guy moving himself to get into position for a move.
It happened in the main event even last night where Samoa Joe was moving to get into position for the first Swerve Stomp, and the camera just stays on the hard cam. Where WWE generally focuses on the guy climbing the ropes at that moment so you don't see it.
In terms of the matches...I agree with you that the matches would actually feel better and even harder hitting if they sold more...but honestly it's the type of match the internet and Dave Meltzer gives 6 stars to now. So that's what youre going to see more and more of.
