AEW's Full Gear Approaches Amidst Fan Frustration and WWE's Netflix Jitters
as All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is heading into its Full
Gear pay-per-view this weekend with a cloud of uncertainty hanging over the company. While AEW has undeniably shaken up the professional wrestling landscape, recent months have seen growing criticism directed at CEO Tony Khan. Fans are increasingly vocal about the lack of television time for certain contracted wrestlers and a perceived dip in crowd excitement leading up to the big event.
The absence of stars has fueled frustration among fans who feel AEW isn't utilizing its talent effectively. This, coupled with a sense that storylines have lost some of their spark, has led to concerns about declining audience engagement. While AEW still boasts a passionate fanbase and dedicated viewership, the buzz surrounding Full Gear feels somewhat muted compared to previous years.
Khan has acknowledged the criticism, citing injuries and personal situations as factors in some absences. However, he remains confident in the Full Gear card and emphasizes AEW's commitment to delivering a compelling show.
Meanwhile, WWE finds itself navigating a different set of challenges. Their recent move to stream premium live events on Netflix has been met with trepidation following the technical difficulties that plagued the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight last weekend. Fans are worried that similar issues could disrupt major WWE events, potentially alienating viewers and damaging the company's reputation.
WWE executives have assured fans that they are working closely with Netflix to prevent any future disruptions. They are emphasizing the platform's vast reach and potential to introduce WWE to a new audience. However, the shadow of last weekend's streaming debacle looms large, and WWE will be under immense pressure to ensure a smooth transition to their new streaming home.
Both AEW and WWE are facing crucial moments in their respective journeys. AEW needs to address fan concerns and reignite excitement, while WWE must overcome the technical hurdles and prove the viability of its Netflix partnership. The coming weeks will be telling for both companies as they navigate the ever-evolving world of professional wrestling.
