10 Burning AEW Criticisms Tony Khan MUST Ignore

10. "The Shows Must Flow Better"

The absolute worst accounts on Twitter will say that AEW is doing everything wrong - catastrophising the promotion is good for engagement - and of those accounts is Road Dogg.

Speaking to the Whichever One Will Have Him On podcast - Superstar Crossover, in this specific case - Road Dogg claimed that "[AEW's] television show is not fluid" and that "things don’t connect".

This threading method is the way WWE produces their show under the Triple H regime. As an example: an interruption often leads to an impromptu match, which then leads to a disqualification finish when the heel feuding with the babyface in the wider narrative interferes. The shows are therefore not "disjointed"; merely very convenient and contrived. Things exist only as an origin point for something else; so many matches are just vehicles with which to tell a story and serve no actual purpose in and of themselves.

Others have echoed Road Dogg's criticisms, but they too should be ignored: AEW mustn't borrow from WWE's approach because the matches have to matter.

It is ironic that Road Dogg criticised the way in which the promotion transitions from one segment to the next, of all things, because when he degraded himself and begged for a job on Twitter, he told Tony that he wasn't going to lie - he looked "smooth af".
