Should AEW adopt a "less is more" mentality?

I would prefer they dont listen to Alvarez, actually.

You guys watch like 20 hours of wrestling a week. Aew fans get 4 hours not including overruns and ppvs. To the normal Aew fan, an extra 30 minutes of quality wrestling isnt a make or break because we dont ingest as much as yall. Look at it from a "normal" consumer pov.

Everytime I see one of these clips it just comes off like he wants AEW to basically be WWE.

Can Alvarez just go work for WWE Radio at this point? He’s a fucking jackass. I don’t think he can do one episode without bitching about something.

Dave won't admit or truly doesn't get it. The overrun has never spiked interest or generated ratings. Back when the quarter hours were made public, the drop off was always significant. Not to mention there is no surprise. Tony announces every single match and segment before the show. There is no surprise, no spontaneity.

Alvarez needs a vacation more than anyone I’ve ever seen in any career. Dude is so so so bitter.

If they’re going to go over by 30 or more minutes then it should be an exclusive 2.5 or 3 hour episode. I don’t mind the overrun but 15 minutes should be the maximum about. Because then you’re just wasting talent for a different show.

If you have an overrun every show, that is your show, it isn't special.

Dave should adopt a less is more mentality

Lol Bryan kills me 😂

If they can clearly hit that type of quality without much fan drop off then 3 hours is doable

No. Bryan’s a moron.

This shit is getting old...

Wrestling in general should. Too many hours of programming. Shows are too long.

Its just because alvarez doesnt want to actually watch wrestling

Yes send Willow to WWE and send Brodie king to WWE

Dynamite should be 3 hours they have so many talent it will help with the pacing and build to the ppvs @tonykhan

yes seven years ago. 6 three hour PPVs a year Only 1 two hour show.

Oh boy, I feel so much better now Brian is back to not liking something all is right in the world

Alvarez, its like life. Its unpredictable. Who cares if they have over runs. It actually is more realistic that way.

Why is Alvarez so crusty? Like I get that the IWC can (and are) crusty, but man, Brian needs to chill. Like he’s happy about nothing. I give Brian, MINUS 5 STARS

No.

Bryan crying about overruns? What's new? 😆

Aew dont need your advice aew is doing really excellent

The importance that was spoken for by AEW programming and commentators placed on the world championship segments suggested the possibility of a lax schedule, with the priority being the conflict being addressed and the dynamic between both duos of competitors being cemented…

Less is more see that’s the probably

While I usually agree with Bryan, I like Dave’s response here. That’s not bad logic about the main event. However, the over run went way too long and started with a promo….

Alvarez needs holiday ASAP or he is going to get a stroke anytime

Dave Meltzer stfu

This is wrestling not baseball football

The main event ending time can still be unpredictable without it being a 20-30min overrun so that’s not the reason. You can end 2min or 9min over any given week and the end is still unpredictable as soon as 2hrs passes.

Just stfu Alvarez. 🤦‍♂️🙄

So getting less is better? Why not just one hour?

Bryan coming with logic and Uncle Dave is clueless

Fuck no. Every other company, not just wrestling, is following that model and going backwards. People are sick of less, especially when attending events. We always want more.
