This is 100% accurate.
AEW has been on TV for over a year and a half, 85 2 hour episodes. They have made no adjustments to grow their audience whatsoever.
They are what they are, and it's fine, but they have to be past the point where they have any "new wrestling company" buzz.
To quote Fig, but speaking about AEW "it's pretty clear they're not going to change, because frankly, they don't have to."
They have a rich mark who is going to keep funding them, and EVP's who are going to keep stroking his ego to keep him loyal. As fans, we get some good, some bad, but mostly just a bunch of filler randomly thrown together matches that mean nothing.
