10 Big Improvements AEW MUST Make Before All Out

10. Find That "Real Sport Feel"

AEW have been talking about delivering a product that closer resembles a "real sport" than WWE's wacky Sports Entertainment world ever could from their first press conference.

While they didn't mention WWE by name, the shot was clear to anyone paying attention. AEW, if their horde of Executive Vice Presidents are to be believed, are trying to offer something different. They don't want a pantomime, but simulated combat exhibitions with meaningful match outcomes, stats, analysis, and other touches.

Although AEW's three shows have shown enough to suggest that wins and losses do already matter, we're yet to see much else on this front. The Road to Fight for the Fallen's third episode saw Alex Marvez run through some numbers ahead of Cody and Dustin Rhodes' clash with The Young Bucks. A nice touch, but a tiny one, and only seen by the 191,000 people who watched that YouTube video.

One would expect AEW to push this aspect of their product harder as we head towards TV in October. They'll hopefully do it sooner than that, though, using the Road to All Out to frame their product as something totally different to the competition.
