My Top 5 AEW Mistakes

intro

AEW are producing my favourite weekly TV, in terms of Pro wrestling at this minute, but they're also not perfect, and they have made some pretty big mistakes over the years. 

5 The Booking of Jay white In 2023

How do you take one of the worlds best talents, and then drop the ball on him? this is a question, that I keep coming back to, when it comes to Jay White. Now, don't get me wrong. I love White as a single wrestler. I just don't think that teaming him with The Gunns, and. Juice Robinson, did anything to help him, and placing him in a pointless feud with MJF, that was laced with anti semitism, wasn't a good move.

4 Tony Khan on X

Tony Khan is an interesting paradox, when you look at Wrestling promoters, he isn't perfect, not by any stretch, however over the past year, his X game, has calmed down, because when the year kicked off, he was a hot mess of fire, that was hell bent on bringing down the world, one tweet at a time.

3. 2023 booking.

AEW's booking in 2023, yeah. It didn't always slap that hard did it. It was clear that Tony Khan needed help.

2 His Attitude Towards Chris Jericho.

It's no secret that i'm not a big fan of Chris Jericho, and this all started after the Worlds End PPV press conference, when he asked by the press, has Chris Jericho ever been investigated for sexual misconduct, he said that he wasn't going to be delving into online rumours. I think these rumours are true, and the man Chris tries to portray on tv. doesn't match the person who he is out of the ring.

1 The Hiring Of Ric Flair

In late 2021, an episode of Darkside Of The Ring, focused on the outright debauchery that took place on a flight taking WWE superstars, back to the States. This lives in infamy for all the wrong reasons, as tales of harressment, and sexual assault, came to light. Ric Flair was accused of assault by an airline stewardness, after he backed her into a corner, at the time. AEW was considering bringing in Flair, to be Andrade El Idolo's manager, but these plans were cancelled, after the alligations came to light. He was brought in as part of Stings retirement, in 2023 and it was met with wide condemnation, especially when back in 2020, AEW released, an suspended, individuals, when accusations came to the forefront, during the speaking out movement of that year. If you do your research. Flair is an individual who we need to talk about, because conversations need to be had.
