How AEW Killed "Being The Elite"

Being The Elite is as good as dead because none of the AEW Executive Vice Presidents really have as much time to play at being pro wrestlers making towns anymore. Moreover, their best material is probably best saved for the upcoming weekly TV show or wealth of other outlets they're going to offer.

The "Road To..." series' ahead of ALL IN, Double Or Nothing, ALL OUT et al have been hit-and-miss from an entertainment standpoint, but as pay-per-view hype jobs, they've generally satisfied the brief. There's a controlled cohesion about All Elite's YouTube uploading frenzy, but little of it matches the magic of golden era BTE. There's subsequently never been a better time to finish it for good, then preserve it as a product worth paying for.

In Being The Elite, the group have 165 episodes (and counting) of a show to make up for the lack of a back catalogue if they set up their own version of the Network to host the pay-per-views and (eventually) archived weekly shows. Load the section with bloopers and outtakes, upscale production where/if necessary, split stories into chapters for ease of locating - the product is finished and already lends itself to giving fans something to do while they drop a nominal monthly fee for the benefit of an easy-to-access supershow.

For three years, Being The Elite was everything to those that took part in it as well as those that followed it. It must not be reduced to less than nothing just to ensure that AEW has all the quality content it needs to get off the ground in style in October. Preserving it with prestige in this matter would ensure that if and when it inevitably goes, it won't be forgotten. All Elite Wrestling wouldn't have existed - let alone set about attempting to "Change The Universe" - if Being The Elite hadn't gone about its business (and "this business") first.
