I'll let #1-wwf-fan handle this much more eloquently than me.

Exactly. Being shit on purpose is still being shit. Fuck that shit.

I'm not watching BTE. I find their personalities largely obnoxious. I want to watch wrestling. If the wrestling doesn't explain it, and the explanation itself isn't good, then fuck it. The onus is not on fans to go out of their way to understand what is trying to be conveyed.

The throne spot was fine. Symbolism that tied in who Cody is to his AEW gimmick and what AEW is representing. Perfectly fine.

That's awful. The finger breaking spot is dumb in itself. Also, having a long set-up to an awful punchline that also has a guy breaking a woman's fingers because she's annoying is pretty trashy.

As far as venues go:

I'm fine with them going wherever they can fill up. Part of the appeal of AEW's potential is that they are a promotion with the capital behind it to fill arenas. That makes it different to TNA or ROH or New Japan. It changes the perception of the promotion instantly and almost changes the medium. And I think that is going to betray itself more and more as certain guys prove they can work larger arenas whereas some guys are small, intimate space guys.
