One of the most frequent bitches folks have with AEW programming is the constant interruption of picture-in-picture ad breaks. Look, everyone understands that they rake in money through advertising. That's understandable and acceptable, but...All Elite really needs to learn to place these commercials better.

It's a bit annoying to see something like the ROH Pure Rules Title match between Katsuyori Shibata and Wheeler Yuta get cut off less than five minutes in just so AEW can tell you Collision is on next. Presumably, people know that, because they're already watching the three hour block including Rampage and Collision.

How awkward.

Come on, guys. What are we doing here? It's stupid to make one of your most-hyped matches of the block feel unimportance and like you're already looking past it. It's even wilder to interrupt the thing so you can push a show to the same audience who will be tuning into it 15 mins from now anyway.
