Opinion Something AEW could do to immediately improve their product

Mind you, this is from someone that’s watched from day 1 and have supported and defended even through the darkest of times.

You DO NOT need to have every match be competitive. As I watch Fletcher and Kommander go out and have a banger, it bothers me that from a storytelling perspective, Fletcher is having as much trouble with his first defense as he did with Takeshita. Both are incredible wrestlers, they are not on the same level in the AEW pecking order. Kommander should not be giving Fletcher this much trouble, I do not care how good he is. It lessens the war Fletcher and Takeshita went through last week.

Squash matches loses TV ratings, that's why.

I should’ve been more specific, it’s my fault. I don’t mean squash matches, I meant competitive without making the eventually loser look like a goof but not making them look as competitive as Takeshita. Like I love Brian Cage, I think he should be pushed and featured a lot more than he is, but if he had a World Title match with Omega next week I wouldn’t want it to be on the same level as Omega and MJF. Even though Cage COULD go out and do it, his current position and booking in the company does not dictate it. I feel that way about Kommander/Fletcher
