Sucks to hear about Blair. Hope it's bluster because she seemed pretty cool, appreciative, etc.

So many things you can point at that they do which they made fun of WWE for.

The "superstar jumps into a crowd of people and everyone falls down" spot they made fun of WWE for and they definitely do it regularly too.

Too many PPVs/PLEs from WWE, but AEW did 9 last year vs WWEs 12 (not including NXT ones) and WWE had 11 the year prior vs AEWs 8.

Them trying to do Dynamite, Rampage,Collision all in the same week without even doing a brand split so you never know who is even on what show anymore.

And the dream match stuff just doesn't sell when it's only a dream match to a section of internet wrestling fans. If the main hype for a match is "this might be a 4-5 star match", that doesn't sell or get people invested.

Not that I'm not enjoying the show, but it doesn't have that "big feel" as often.
