1. AEW Learning A Little Lesson?

Tony Khan has defended AEW's lengthy pay-per-views, and staunch company hardcores will point out that the organisation only produces a handful of these major events each year anyway. So, you might argue, they should be as long as possible. That's fair enough, but...

...maybe learning that less is sometimes more would be wise.

Sure, it's awesome that Khan wants to give bang for your buck on supershows, and value for money is definitely important, but Revolution felt loooooooooong. The live crowd in Florida was visibly and audibly burned out by the end; they did their best to get up for the main event, but it was heavy going.

The show's length didn't do Page vs. Cole any favours, especially when they lacked the bells and whistles of earlier scraps. AEW should be mindful of going the old one-night WrestleMania route with these pay-per-views. Tack the Buy-In on and you're talking approx five hours.

That's a little too much.
