10 Bad Habits AEW Must Kick RIGHT NOW

7. Recurring Pacing Issues

Three years in, and Tony Khan is about as good at telling the time as a f*ckwit WWE heel losing a Beat The Clock challenge.

In the most "WhatCulture are paid AEWsexual shills" take you'll ever read, the problem with Tony Khan is that he's almost too good. Seriously: far too many episodes of Dynamite are so overflowing with content that certain developments get badly undersold.

Remember when Ruby Soho's arm got broken?

The commentary team basically said "That sucks for her, and she needs more help, but there's a kick-ass match on next guys!"

Remember when Chris Jericho threw a fireball in Eddie Kingston's face?

No medical updates were received and relayed throughout the night; it was just another thing that happened.

Remember when Rush turned on his own brother?

That is the ultimate "Holy sh*t!" moment when you apply critical thought to it. It is an ostensibly massive, profound thing to do. The angle lasted mere seconds and has barely been touched since.

Excalibur reads out upcoming matches like he is performing a Weird Al Yankovic version of 'Informer' by Snow.

Let him breathe.

Let everything breathe.
