CM Punk makes some very valid points regarding his criticisms of WWE. Even a WWE fan like myself has to acknowledge that he is exactly right when he says that there is too much micromanagement in WWE. Even Vince McMahon himself has to admit that sometimes he is a bit of a control freak who overthinks some elements of his product. The problem with that is the product becomes watered down at times.
For this reason, the product might be even a little better when Triple H completely takes over day-to-day operations of the company because he is a little more relaxed when it comes to this. He doesn’t seem to overthink things and just goes out there and does it.
WWE could learn a thing or two from AEW in that regard. Tony Khan and the rest of AEW management allow superstars to have much more creative freedom. That is exactly why Dean Ambrose left WWE earlier this year and is having great success in AEW as Jon Moxley. The company allows its superstars to trust their own instincts in front of the crowd and improvise a little bit by inserting just a little bit of their own material if they happen to get stuck as far as the direction of a promo.
Trust is a very powerful thing you can give someone. The best part about it – is that it is intangible. Yet another reason why one has to believe AEW has experienced so much early success is that they have Chris Jericho, a very established star, as “Le Champion” carrying the company in the right direction.
He’s so experienced and is still able to put on great matches, not to mention he has multiple other businesses. For example, AEW will have an episode of Dynamite on January 15, 2020 in Miami, Florida as part of one of Jericho’s cruises.
