10 Misconceptions About AEW You Probably Believe

10. The Media Is Biased Towards It

Tony Khan - a handsome fellow with a strong jawline and fashionable, tussled hair - uses his bottomless pockets to co-opt the pro wrestling media and persuade them to report and critique his product favourably.

Bryan Danielson isn't a masterful technician and storyteller virtually incapable of working an average match. Tony Khan just pays people to say he's good. The Young Bucks aren't able to generate white-hot atmospheres in every single arena they work. Critics just hear things. Hangman Page Vs. Kenny Omega wasn't a phenomenally detailed, two-year odyssey that drew acclaim for building a superstar babyface in a uniquely modern way. Khan simply paid critics to say that.

The same critics who raved about the WWF product of 1997 and 2000 and the NXT of 2015 were told to cease that praise at once because there's a new billionaire in town, and he's paying.

If you earnestly think this, you need psychiatric help. It is possible that something you haven't been brainwashed into thinking is bad is good.

Again, these people aren't worth the oxygen or indeed the scorn, but they are influential. People buy into their bullsh*t, and they shouldn't.

It isn't biased to lower expectations of a WWE debutant and invest in an act introduced by AEW.

It would be naive not to.
