Not all is rosy for All Elite Wrestling, I believe
#3 The commentary is not good

I know that Alex Marvez was brought on board to give AEW a more 'real sports' feel but truth be told, this wasn't the case at all during the broadcast. To be fair to him, it is impossible to bring a sports feel to a show where a man pretends to be a dinosaur.
Which brings us to Jim Ross who was once the voice of professional wrestling, but one can see that he's only a shadow of the man that he used to be. Of course, age affects us all in a variety of ways, but it reflects poorly on his performance.

Because a lot of the audience does not know about the roster, it is the commentator's job to fill in the blanks, in my honest opinion. This is where All Elite Wrestling fell flat, and floundered completely.
Maybe replace an NFL commentator with a pro wrestling one?
