The AEW Roster is too Large
There are over 170 people on the AEW roster, now that does include the likes of on-air talent and managers. Even if you take away 30 or 40 people to accomodate for something like that, it is still a massively large roster for a TV show that can only be represented by three hours of television a week to casual fans. This is something that has bothered me for quite some time.

Pro Wrestling Has a Problem
Wrestling right now is awesome, it doesn't matter what kind of style you like or what kind of wrestling you want to see it is just out there waiting for you and will give you a loving embrace when you find it. So you could actually say that the wrestling bubble is smaller than ever this is why it may be about to cause a major problem. Anyway, i do love wrestling and even the bad stuff entertains me for better or worse. Because i watch it as such because i just think it's such a creative endeavor and the fact that you could always get an instant reaction well that just rocks. I mean i just want to see what people are going to do but as silly as it may sound you can have too much of something.
