I think its overkill. When the promotion started, I decided I wanted to watch every AEW match ever because they don't do house shows. I had to give up on trying to do that long ago. I don't even have time to watch it all. And I'm not even that busy of a person. It’s great for the aew diehards but for a normal human being it’s definitely overkill.Pro wrestling should never feel like a second job.People have jobs,family and other interests.Pro wrestling is not people’s entire lives no matter what the internet tells you. You should leave people wanting more not less.You maybe hoarding too much talent if you need 4 shows to actually utilize them.

I only watch Dynamite every week and I don't feel left out of the loop at all. All the other shows are nice, but I have never felt like it's mandatory to watch them in order to be in the loop on what's going on with the company.

I can't believe there is a thread complaining that there is too much professional wrestling on. Is there any aspect of professional wrestling that isn't complaint worthy?
Ok. Counterpoint. People enjoy AEW, BTE, Sammy's Vlog, Elevation and Dark. All get views and make money, for AEW, for the wrestlers. AEW then can pay more wrestlers. How many wrestlers got paychecks during the pandemic because of Dark and Elevation? How many now have a bigger name and can get dates on the indies? How many earned a contract? More wrestlers can feed their families. Fuego Del Sol is super over and selling merch just because of Sammy's vlog. Why should less wrestlers make a living because you "don't have the time to watch."
Such a privileged way of looking at people making a living.

You can just not watch a show, I don't think it needs to be any kind of statement or remark of superiority.

Some of these people need to get talent exchanged to Impact, NJPW, GCW, NWA, and maybe even ROH (don't know if there's any relationship there or not). This opening the forbidden door thing could be good for more than just crossovers. People could move around for better opportunities to be featured while maintaining a good relationship with the company they left. Its almost a new territory system now, !it's just go all out (pun intended) with it.

They promote the shows through sliders or saying something happened there but there isn't an obligation to watch them either. They do that because, well, they have to. Just like you don't have to watch Before The Impact but it's there if you do.

Kind of echoing what has been said here, but BTE, Dark and Elevation really just accentuate the main show/soon to be shows. If something important happens on any of the YouTube shows, they recap it on TV, but they don't write anything that won't make sense if you miss those shows.
Myself, I watch Dynamite and BTE every week and the PPV's and occasionally watch Dark and Elevation live, even if it's just for a bit, then scan it for my favorites the next day once someone timestamps it.
If anything, I welcome the arrival of Rampage. One of my few nitpicks with Dynamite is nothing sinks in. It's not Crash TV but it has that feel, like when Britt Baker won and it was BOOM to the next segment. That happens a lot, but if that's all I can really complain about, they're doing pretty damn good. To each their own, I suppose.

I'm stuck at home with a broken foot, awaiting fusion surgery. The more wrestling on telly/youtube the better.

Maybe Saturday should get a Soul Train theme show called Angelico's Dance Hour.
