A shocking turn of events from a company who has vilified gay men, women who don't want to be portrayed as sex objects, foreigners for being foreign, Muslim americans for not wanting to be seen as terrorists, multiple people concerned about the environment...
Well, AEW is the complete opposite of WWE. I wouldn't write off the entire wrestling industry because of that sports entertainment company from Stamford.
It's right there in AEW's
company mission statement.
Just had my own personal CM Punk return pop at my desk, great to see you here!
I started watching wrestling through women's wrestling and from I've been told AEW hasn't really tried to showcase their women.
They absolutely can do better by the women working there, but last night on their biggest (by attendance) show as a company they did feature the women's title in a 15+ minute main event match and there was a rumor floating around Twitter yesterday that they are ready to introduce a second women's title.
The primary problem with women's wrestling in AEW is that they never have more than a single women's match on weekly TV. About 90% of the time, this one match comes at the same time slot and is about 6 minutes long and always includes a commercial break. They've also been building two stars almost at the expense of other women on the roster. Because they only have one women's match and one (or rarely two) women's promo segments per show, the huge focus on those two can result in everybody else falling behind.
