AEW is so predictable because they rarely let their stars lose on TV.

Wrestling is in its hottest boom period in recent memory, yet TK can’t capitalize on it because he won’t take his head out of his own ass. He books shows like a mixture of 2K universe mode and a 8 year old playing with his wrestling figures.

This company should be in even better shape than it is now if it wasn’t such an echo chamber for marks.

He's trained his audience to know that while TV does "build" to the ppv nothing of substance will happen. It's just filler until we get to big the shows(PPVs) where the great matches that happen matter. now when those stop drawing he's in trouble.

Trouble in paradise no kofi 🇯🇲

It doesn't matter that the ratings and attendance outside of the PPVs are down
Or that the talent is unhappy, because being misused when business is in the gutter feels even worse
Everything is going to be okay, I've been told Tony has infinite money and penny pinching WB is pleased with declining ratings
Don't forget, several of the PPV matches are still 5* quality (they'd even be 6* in the Tokyo Dome!)

Putting on “bangers” is their end game. Damn growing as a wrestling company.
