Former WWE Tag Team Champion dumps on AEW Dynamite; calls it his ‘favorite comedy show’

AEW and its shows have received criticism from around the industry, especially in recent times following a dip in their ratings and viewership. A certain former WWE Tag Team Champion has gone as far as to call the flagship show, Dynamite, his "favorite comedy show."

Paul London is someone who has cemented himself in the history of the WWE World Tag Team Title. He has captured the title a total of three times, with his run alongside Brian Kendrick, and had a lengthy run with the titles.

During his recent appearance on the That’s Wrestling podcast, the Innovator of Excellence slammed AEW Dynamite, as he felt that fans have seen so much from attempted murders to kidnappings or anything of the sort. He was not a fan of any of these ideas and angles run by the promotion.

“People have seen everything now. They see attempted murders every Wednesday. They see kidnappings. They see houses burning down, cars getting filled with coins, and just– the ideas are not good.”

He also criticized production, stating that people could tell how the sets and the camera angles were lackluster and careless. London called the show his "favorite comedy."

“They’re really poorly thought out. Fake walls that are so obvious. Bad camera angles where you can see tunnels that connect in the back when they should be the illusion. It’s just so careless. It’s so careless. And so, in turn, it’s hilarious. It’s my favorite comedy out there.”

Paul London tried joining AEW

Paul London previously revealed that he has had some reservations regarding AEW's product for some time now and even wished to offer his services to help in any way that he could.

Speaking to Fightful last month, he revealed how he went as far as to reach out to Christopher Daniels, who is the Head of Talent Relations in the company. He mentioned how he did not get a straight answer, and he decided to forego helping them.

"It got to the point where I actually reached out to Daniels and was like, ‘Hey, I've seen the show. I'd love to help in any way I can...,' and I kind of got like a revolving door answer. It was like, ‘Oh, well, yeah, no, see you later!’ That was fine, I get it... I guess they have all the help they need," Paul London said. [From 17:15 to 17:45]

As of now, AEW is in a pickle, as despite success during their pay-per-views, they have struggled in terms of their weekly viewership and ratings. It remains to be seen if that'll change soon.
