That 95% of the complaints about AEW are "xxx wrestler isn't on TV enough/doesn't win enough" that's not to say such complaints are invalid or shouldn't be aired I point it out to show how few of the complaints are about ring work, presentation, storylines, the companies vision and progression, etc etc.

I haven't seen "TONY KHAN HAS A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!" on any of the previews of upcoming shows recently. I hope that continues. Let the wrestling take center stage.

Miro is maybe my all-time favorite wrestler in some respects. He's definitely in the top 5.
Evil Uno is very funny, but, even if it's not something he's been called on to do in a while, he is able to be a very effective heel, too.

AEW has the sexiest roster at the moment, so there's that.

They release their ppv's on DVD's. Which I like because I'm not paying $50+ for a ppv. WWE network has spoiled me on that.
I like getting the ppv's on DVD that Sting was a major part of.

Love the roster.
Commentary. Including JR, who I just take as is.
Generally find the conclusions to angles favourable.
Glad ROH is being revived

The honeymoon period has been over for AEW for the last year or so.... this SOUNDS like a knock, but it's honestly a good thing. It means it's grown past the fresh and new period where we were just happy it existed. Now, time has crept in and any drama that's going on right now is, pretty much, par for the course. Just, it feels much worse because it's the first we're hearing about it from the company. However, beyond that.... some of the positives I keep from AEW.
1. The Roster 2. The Match Quality 3. While the roster may be too big, they still try to get the audience invested in as many people as they can. 4. Due to that, it's very easy to make new, fresh, interesting matches on a regular basis while not draining the well. 5. I love the fact that, just because somebody isn't signed to AEW, doesn't mean they can't appear on the show for a one-off or a few matches 6. How interconnected The Elite's storylines have been, not just in the company, but beyond. 7. In a lot of ways, AEW feels like it's "my" company. Whereas WWE feel like an entity that is so big, it just exists and puts on shows, I don't need any investment for it to continue on.

Every trios match is a f***in' banger. I can't remember, did I say this already? I'll say it again!

They make TNA's entrance tunnels look better than TNA ever could...
While true I do have a serious one too:
Like ROH before them, AEW will likely be the breeding ground for today's future stars. With the sheer amount of people, they are featuring on Dark and otherwise, guys that cut their teeth in AEW will eventually navigate to WWE as well...a few of these guys will become the future of the industry regardless of who they work for.
Despite rumors of booking favoritism, petty backstage ego-jerking, and constant dirtsheet updates, AEW led by Khan is the best thing to happen to wrestling in 20 years.

Which is a good thing for big promotion. Especially when it comes to production, it's solid. Nothing that makes it low quality, experimental or over produced. As a result there's the bonus of wrestlers from other promotions tending to fit straight in. The exception perhaps being anything with supernatural elements that barely exist in aew.

A little thing but I do like that Dark is now testing gimmicks for people to potentially lead to bigger things

It's like the best of both worlds right now. An entertaining on screen product and lots of juicy backstage gossip.
