Smarks are going to be mad regardless, it's trying to pander to them that's made AEW the company it is today.
The history of modern pro wrestling in a nutshell:
- promotion mostly popular with the 5 to 18 age group plus the neurospicy
- smarks find this objectionable as everything should suit only them
- "this promotion would make money if it gave THE PEEPUL what they want"
- o look THE PEEPUL are a bunch of noisy smarks screaming for fanwanky booking
- promoter fatally falls for this line
- "BEHOLD here is your fanwanky booking"
- y u no give us all your money, smarks?
- smarks have no money and cannot be appeased anyway
- kids no longer spend daddy's money on merch due to unlikeable heel bullshit of every wrestler
- promoter increases EDGY FANWANK in desperate attempt to make up for declining income
- LOLTNA Era of promotion
- promotion is bought out/overhauled by someone who doesn't hate making money
- promotion is heavily marketed to kids again
- hit the trumpets John Cena
- return to first step and repeat
