5 reasons why AEW has been disappointing and 5 reasons they are still generating excitement

Fans were excited for the advent of All Elite Wrestling, but many have voiced their disappointment with the promotion.

Exciting #4: Cody and the Young Bucks are in a unique position to book matches in the best possible way

There's an old adage in pro wrestling that goes like this:

Those who can't wrestle, book.

For those of you who don't know, a booker in pro wrestling is an individual who sets up matches and feuds – called marriages backstage – for the talent. They often have a lot of say in who gets pushed to the main event, and who is relegated for lower places on the card.

Ideally, bookers have some in-ring experience, but in many promotions, this has not been the case. Eric Bischoff, for example, had never wrestled a match when he was put in charge of WCW.

Then there is the aforementioned Kevin Sullivan, whose booking decisions nearly bankrupted WCW before the advent of the NWO. But the Young Bucks and Cody have a unique perspective on the wrestling business.

Since the trio have wrestled for different promotions all over the world, and have seen the worst of backstage politics, they can ensure such a toxic environment does not develop in AEW.
