Also rumors that the deal offered for Dynamite renewal rights is lower than they were hoping for. Meltzer/AEW quickly denied said rumors, so we'll have to see what happens there.

This was very much like WWE in the late 2010's where WWE got into the booking on the fly, and wrestlers hated it, and you got really inconsistent story lines, or dropped storylines or stuff that just came from nowhere. It lead to a lot of repackaging on the fly too.


After the attitude era, Vince went whole hog on last minute changes and edits.



Eric really was the creator of it in WCW when he was doing commentary and watching WWE on a TV under the desk and sending frantic notes changing storylines to the back, and he got addicted to it.



I'm not as concerned about it with AEW, but I expect that the issue is making people in the back crazy. I'm more of the mind that the workers don't seem to listen to the agents or producers in the back and that's why we're getting a lot of these just mind boggling stupid injuries and unnecessary risks.
