I heard someone say there’s 3 things that are killing AEWThis company is going down the drain
And every time there's a reminder their stans always generate an excuse. It's the NBA, it's the Olympics, it's the US Open, Trump, the News, Kendrick, Taylor Swift concerts, the weather.
Always a fukking excuse but if these people really loved AEW they would take their fingers out of their ears and admit that this company is spiralling, and the sooner you can admit that the sooner you can demand changes and look for solutions.
But no it'll just be more excuses.
The illest part is from what I can see is they’re not changing anything up, trying new shyt, elevating different people into new spots etc. It’s just the same exact booking that tanked the ratings and attendance in the first place.This company is going down the drain

It's understandable. The Outrunners have a unique look and a fun gimmick. They're characters, and that's what sells.wtf
The Outrunners Estimated To Be Outselling Swerve Strickland For Merch
Estimates suggest The Outrunners are selling more merch than Swerve Strickland
The Outrunners are certainly cult favourites in All Elite Wrestling and Ring of Honor, but it seems the ‘Youngest Men Alive’ could potentially also be merchandise machines, according to sales estimates.
A round-up of estimated merch sales numbers across AEW/ROH for the month of August shows that Outrunners are potentially moving more merch than the likes of Swerve Strickland, Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, and many other main event-level acts.
The estimated numbers come courtesy of Wrestlenomics, with the top 10 sellers for August (in order) being AEW, Will Ospreay, MJF, ROH, Mariah May, Darby Allin, Rob Schamberger, The Outrunners, Bryan Danielson, and Britt Baker.
Whilst this is good news for Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum, Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggests it is an issue when The Outrunners and Schamberger (artist) are outselling the current and previous AEW World Champions, never mind established merchandise movers like The Young Bucks and Orange Cassidy.
This is obviously not undermining the cult-like fervour surrounding The Outrunners, but is more a question of AEW’s marketing and merch teams, if the likes of easily marketable stars like ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm and Mercedes Moné are being outsold by Magnum and Floyd.

You’ve gotta take AEW for what it is. It’s for Tony Khan and the wrestlers he admires. It might as well be on a deserted island somewhere just for his own personal viewing benefit. This is not a legit business in terms of consumer satisfaction or attainable growth.I heard someone say there’s 3 things that are killing AEW
1.Tony
2.Young Bucks
3.The Fans
You can’t convince them the company is doing bad without being looked at as a WWE Stan or shill
But Look at the numbers it’s clear as day
Beginning of the year they was averaging 800k viewers than few months later 700k now 600k
They can’t even SELLOUT in CHICAGO of all places anymore
They just had what everyone is claiming is their greatest PPV of all time with BD becoming champion & nobody gives a fukk
Constant talk of a TV deal but nothing to show for it WWE was able to look for a new TV deal & get one no problem they even going to a new network earlier than expected With AEW it’s a whole lot of “See what had Happened Was”
They’re not going to realize it till it’s too late but then again it already is
