10 Worst Moments In AEW History

10. QTV

QTV was a terrible idea. 

A needlessly defensive parody of wrestling media - which, in wrestling, is invariably a sign that a promotion in fact is doing something wrong - the TMZ-themed stable was yet another vehicle with which to get QT Marshall over. 

QTV did not get QT Marshall over. 

Powerhouse Hobbs was attached to the group, which nearly ruined his career. QT helped him win the TNT title over Wardlow in early 2023. Instantly, Hobbs was just…in a faction, like virtually every other AEW prospect. A rubbish faction. 

The aura was drained from Hobbs in one night. What in the absolute hell was a gigantic badass doing hanging around with a fake news crew? Why did, in a wrestling promotion, a fake news crew even exist?  

Between the occupational gimmick and “Observe this, brother!” overtones, this was, on two levels, the very worst of 1995 smushed together. 

The relationship spun from another core AEW problem: a too strict and too cute attempt at continuity. So what if QT brought Hobbs in? 

QTV, a disaster in and of itself, was also emblematic of a deeper rot. Too often, veterans worm their way into Khan’s ear and buy some TV real estate.
