2. Point Off For The Vince McMahon Reference

OK, so some aren't going to agree with this.

That's fine, but this fan is so damn tired of All Elite Wrestling mentioning WWE like they're SEGA telling you they do what Ninten-don't. Some of Max Caster's raps are clever and have the right amount of dig. Mentioning Vince McMahon when he's all over the news and about to make a comeback though?!

Why put even more focus on the competition during AEW's own TV time? This is something the promotion has done far too often during its first three-four years of existence, and it's something they really need to quit doing. 'Hey folks, start thinking about WWE and Vince McMahon instead of this AEW Tag Championship match'.

Tony Khan might as well have run a crawler across the bottom of the screen that said: 'Vince McMahon is returning to WWE LOL! That'll put some butts in seats!". This was an attempt to be controversial for the sake of it, but all it made this viewer do was open Google on his phone and see if there was any breaking Vince news.

That's...not a good thing.
