Why Does Everyone Hate on AEW’s Storytelling?

Wrestling with Story - Episode 3 - Are there STORIES in AEW? Host Joshua Hale Fialkov (Emmy and Eisner nominated writer of Television, Animation, and Graphic Novels) answers the question EVERYONE can’t stop talking about. #aew #aewdynamite #wrestlinginstagram #wrestlingtiktok #wrestling #aewtiktok #wwe #wwetiktok #wwestories #aewstories #storytelling #wrestling #writing #aewforbiddendoor #willosprey #swervestrickland #mjf #tonistorm #wrestlingwithstories

New to the channel. Thank you for the refreshing content. Currently, the slump Osprey is in should see his protege and friend, Kyle Fletcher turn on him and that should be a story AEW focuses on while Osprey builds himself back up. Fletcher has a great new look and it would be apropos for Kyle to turn on him while he is at his lowest right now.

I would like AEW to revisit the rivalry between the Undisputed Kingdom vs the Acclaimed and the Bang Bang Gang. I get that MJF has moved on from Adam Cole, but you still had a great mid card feud that you can still pivot back to with these other characters. It's not "top tier" stuff, but it would make for some great episodes of Collision and Rampage.

Very interesting!

I wouldn't exactly call all, or most, these examples mentioned in this video as "stories". These are simply a series of angles where two or more characters intersect/interact with each other as a basic predicate to set up a match at the next Rampage, Collission, Dynamite, etc. To the extent that "stories" are occurring (when they do), they are often very surface level and underdeveloped, or tend to end on a whimper like the triangle affair for the affections/friendship of Mariah May between Mina & Toni Storm. Mina hitting Mariah over the head with a champaign bottle on Dynamite was completely ignored as she competed in the Owen at Forbidden Door Zero Hour with zero ramifications from the attack. Furthermore, the entire issue/story ended following the match with a kiss between all three, never to be referenced again.🤷‍♂️

The knock on no stories just ppl that don’t watch AEW parroting stuff
