Suuuuuure...nevermind the fact that AEW regularly gets rave reviews, 5-star matches on PPV and weekly TV, and are constantly getting praise for the blend of silly, serious, and long-term storytelling both in the ring and out. But you go and focus on the bad. that tiny little minority of stuff that doesn't work or is poorly executed, you focus on that while others who like sports entertainment seek to be entertained by it. The rest of us will happily enjoy the blend of work rate and writing and storytelling that makes pro wrestling fun. |
Yes, nobody could possibly legitimately dislike AEW programming, just like nobody with more than three brain cells could like WWE. XD It's like reading a press release. Such incredibly vague and meaningless praise. "Constantly getting rave reviews." From who? Randos on Twitter? I'm sure AEW fans constantly give it rave reviews, just like I could find plenty of people who don't like it and consistently say it sucks. If you have some quantified methodology here, maybe you should be taken seriously. But, the promotion has at best remained flat since its debut, and more realisticly has declined in popularity, despite a slew of major signings. The most objective sign we have about whether or not AEW is doing well are the ratings, which are going in the wrong direction. Or, we could look at youtube views. Check out the trend in their views totals over the years. If you want to go with the argument that it's objectively great and I just woke up one morning and said fuck AEW for no reason, you gotta explain that.
But really its irrelevant. I could offer a general critique of AEW, but since the issue here is that I'm apparently just so biased and anti-AEW, what I've already said should be plenty. Instead of just generic PR speak about how wonderful AEW is, go through my post history. Find the criticism that's invalid. If not, then explain why I shouldn't be able to post valid criticism without this kind of shitty response.
