Dave Meltzer might be responsible for AEW going through a torrid time in 2024, feels former WWE personality (Exclusive)
A former WWE name recently spoke about AEW going through a rough time in 2024. The name is none other than Vince Russo who believes Dave Meltzer is responsible for the issue with the promotion.
Dave Meltzer often had positive reviews about AEW and almost gave five stars to at least two matches on the promotion's PPVs. However, Meltzer's reviews about the product have gotten negative recently which has also impacted the fans' point of view about the promotion.
In the recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo podcast, the former WWE head writer claimed that Dave Meltzer has a lot to do with All Elite Wrestling's setbacks as he's getting negative publicity.
"I think that's got a lot to do with it, bro. I think it's a lot of factors, man. Meltzer is getting a lot of real negative, you know, publicity." [4:10 - 4:28]

Vince Russo further explained the problem with AEW booking
In the same video, Vince Russo compared the situation of AEW with Baseball and how there is a difference between American Baseball teams and Japanese Baseball teams. He connected the example with how Tony Khan tries to make All Elite Wrestling like Japanese wrestling and how fans will never get behind them if he forces this direction:
"You know, it's funny, Chris, because every four years they have the World Baseball Classic where you got teams from all over the world competing. And, you know, there's a team from Japan. They play a different style ball than America. But nobody goes to this classic and comes back and says to the American baseball teams, we're going to start playing like the Japanese. Nobody right, Why would you do that, bro? That's exactly what AEW has done." [7:26-8:00]
The fans will have to wait and see if Tony Khan shakes up the direction of All Elite Wrestling in 2025.
