5 Reasons Why AEW Is Going To Be A Successful Company For Years To Come

#5 AEW is accessible to the media

As a writer, editor, author and podcaster who strives to write and publish at least one article every day, I am generally at the mercy of managers, publicists and other talent representatives being willing to offer up their talent for interviews. While I have interviewed countless major musicians, actors and athletes, the wrestling business is generally known to be a bit tricky.

In fact, almost all of the interviews I have done with wrestling talent over the years has not come from wrestling company publicists, but rather from representatives of non-wrestling projects for said talent. Sometimes, the artists themselves even make themselves directly available.

In the case of AEW, within minutes of Double Or Nothing going off the air, there was a press release announcing the multi-year signing of Jon Moxley. Also, within hours of Double Or Nothing, there were tons of videos on YouTube of press conferences done by participating talent — including Cody and Dustin Rhodes — and other AEW representatives with wrestling-centric media representatives. And somewhat-humorously the Cody clip embedded above features Mark Henry as an interviewee, in addition to Dave Meltzer and Chris Van Vliet, showing AEW's embracing of all sorts of media outlets.

Time will tell what is ahead for AEW, but if Double Or Nothing is representative of more of what's to come from The Elite and their designated representatives, then we are looking at a fun, inclusive, fan-friendly and reality-oriented wrestling company with excellent production value.
