The man responsible for running the company, Tony Khan, has had his hand in everything from managing the day-to-day operations to booking and even promoting the shows.
While it’s good to see him so invested in different aspects of the company, this has shifted his focus from the booking which has resulted in average storylines over the past several months resulting in reduced viewership.
Ric Flair, who has seen and done it all in the business, offered his advice on how AEW can improve its dwindling viewership on a recent episode of his To Be The Man podcast.
“I would continue to own the company, but I would let somebody fresh book it. He books and runs it, but he’s also very vested personally in football which he takes a lot of pride in, and the Jaguars are getting better, which I’m really happy for them. They will probably be in the playoffs next year. So what I’m saying is Tony has to divide his time and his passion between two things.”

Eventually, Tony Khan may have to relinquish control of certain aspects of the business so that the company can begin to thrive again.
