WWE and other bigger promotions will host production meetings before TV and PLE shows to discuss what is planned for each event. This will also inform agents about what is being done throughout the show to avoid duplication in the matches and point out gaps in ideas.
For AEW, that doesn’t happen. Bryan Alvarez noted frustration within AEW regarding why the company doesn’t have production meetings while recapping a recent AEW Dynamite segment with Thunder Rosa.
“The bigger story here than this was just such a fucking disaster is not a week goes by, not one week goes by where I don’t hear from somebody in AEW saying, ‘Why the fuck don’t we have production meetings? We need production meetings. Things happen on every show where if we had a production meeting, they wouldn’t happen.’ But Tony [Khan] refuses to do production meetings, and here we are. This is another one. What in the fuck happened here? Nobody knows. I didn’t get a single good explanation for it. It was just everybody was on a different page, and you made the baby face look like an absolute idiot, and away we go.”
