Guess you can on Netflix in January and a new WBD/MAX offering for all of your top two promotions!
Or better yet, watch more indies for free on YouTube!

Maybe we just like talking about what we think makes the product better, or what has turned us off from certain aspects of products.
WWE and AEW both get praise and criticism in this thread when it's justified. I think WWE gets less right now because I think if you go look 3 or even 4 years ago in this thread many of the complaints about WWE from back then (nonsensical booking, short term decisions, no long term story telling, production / camera cuts) have actually been improved.
For AEW part of the problem is they have fixed some things people complained about (better long term story telling) but lots of things have not been addressed that fans have had issues with for about 2 years now (ROH presence, roster bloat, character decisions)
And it seems we aren't the only ones that share those criticisms because it's what is impacting both the ratings and attendance for AEW. You like the product and are happy with it, but more people seem to be frustrated and being turned off by the product than like it right now and it's fair to talk about it when they are drawing 3k fans in a 20k seat venue.
Nobody including AEW stans seemed to have issues talking about ratings or attendance when they were close to selling out or when they drew the huge gate at Wembley but now that they are struggling it's offside to talk about.
Honestly I think you're the only one who seems to have the Tribal "It's AEW or WWE" mindset in this thread, most people just like talking about wrestling and part of talking about wrestling is thinking you can do a better job than the bookers lol.
