Wrestling with DMD: Part 2

Join Donovan Doyle on his second blog of wrestling reviews about AEW

By Donovan Doyle

Hello and welcome back to Wrestling with DMD, the review where we talk about wrestling companies, being mainly All Elite Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment. 

AEW, the rival of WWE, at the start was going very well, creating big rivalries, super good matches, and events that were so big they were beating the views of WWE. AEW had several good stars as well, like Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, Hangman Adam Page, and MJF. 

The problem started this year when Cody Rhodes, who helped start AEW left it and went to join WWE.

CM punk also joined AEW, which led to several problems since CM punk is a pain to work being how he has a very big ego and always tries to be on top by saying how he will leave if he is not. This is not fair to the companies he works with since it makes it harder for them to do things like rivalries or matches.

After CM punk joined the company a few months later, he won the main championship, and the big problem with this is that they have several other big stars or young stars that could shine and be champions but they chose CM punk.

This was a mistake because he got injured, leading to AEW needing to have an interim champion. Then he got back, he lost it but then won it again after just a week, and then he got suspended after the All Out Altercation,  a fight with the young bucks and Kenny Omega after a pay-per-view called All Out. This fight led to several more problems having stories being lost and ideas broken. 

The other problem that AEW has is Tony Kahn, the owner of AEW. Kahn bought the  Ring of Honor, which was fine until they started giving matches for the Ring of Honor championships on the AEW show, and also gave their own AEW stars championships as well. He hired several WWE superstars that were fired and then did not use them to their full potentials like Miro and Andrade.

Those two are so underused that they are tweeting about how they do not like the company and Youtube channels like “What Culture Wrestling” talks about how several superstars will leave AEW for WWE like Miro and Andrade.

Kahn does not know what he is doing, he is too focused on WWE and trying to show how his show is better when he has several problems in his own company that he should worry about. If he wants to focus on trying to top WWE he should first focus on his own company. 

Other problems that I have with AEW are the tag division and women’s division. They are just not there, if you watch AEW you can just see how they really do not care about the tag division or women’s division. There are not that many matches or segments with them in it and there are not that many rivalries with those two divisions that do not include the championship.

AEW does have some problems but it does not mean that it is a bad show. They still bring out very good matches, but I just really think that they need to fix these problems. If they will not get better as a show, they might start losing wrestlers, but only time will really tell.
