You don't have to be an expert on running a multi billion pound business to give an opinion on something you don't like. JR doesn't like it because it happens to be the company he works for. He'd have no problem with criticism of AEW if he was still working for WWE.

    Effectively fans know nothing about wrestling but JR and the other experts know everything about it. Possibly time JR puts that expertise to good use and helps build the constantly dropping AEW ratings. The fans may know nothing as JR says, but they do know what they like and what they want to watch. Instead of being so paranoid you can’t accept criticism without going on the offensive, listen and you can learn even from the people who know nothing. Also Conrad is a fan, not an expert in the business of wrestling

    • @davidgraham8299

    JR, everyone can have an opinion. You have said it yourself in the past. And regarding criticism, any criticism can be valid if it's educated. You don't have to like it, or agree with it. People aren't experts in booking, but they know what they like and don't like. Vince wanted Luger to be the next Hogan. Vince was an expert in booking. It didn't matter. The fan didn't want it. It was Bret's time. That doesn't mean you necessarily give up, but if people are criticizing, ask why. What's not working. Getting hot about it isn't going to win them over, if your goal is to get people over.

No, the main event is the main event, yeah there are events that can steal the show and be the better event, but promoters of any show choose what goes on last and that is the main event.
