The everlasting rivalry between Eddie Kingston and Claudio Castagnoli has been heated again up in current weeks with Kingston’s return to AEW tv. Whereas it is enjoyable to see a storyline name again on moments from wrestling’s previous, there are some that really feel the historical past between the 2 needs to be defined for individuals who might not already know. Talking on “Busted Open Radio,” co-host Bully Ray expressed his ideas on AEW’s tendency to under-explain, and the impact that may have on a present’s extra informal viewers.

“It’s important to remind the fanbase, and spoon-feed them,” Bully mentioned. “One of many issues that I feel AEW takes as a right is that their viewers is aware of all the things at each time. Nice. Assume your viewers would not know, so simply in case there are individuals that do not know, or — even higher — simply in case you may have new viewers, you may carry them on top of things.” Bully identified that recapping occasions from earlier weeks is one thing that WWE does higher than some other promotion, and it is one thing AEW ought to work to enhance at.

“That is the place AEW has one other difficulty,” Bully continued. “They solely cater to their fanbase. That fanbase ain’t going nowhere. That fanbase is loyal. They are going to stick by Tony, AEW, and the girls and boys till that firm goes on for one more hundred years or ends tomorrow. However, in catering to them, assume … any individual tuned in tonight who’s by no means seen your present. That is why I want this very broad-stroke clarification from Eddie.”

Bully steered that AEW ought to do a sit-down section that includes Kingston, Castagnoli, and commentator Jim Ross, explaining the historical past and animosity between the 2. By doing so, Bully believes AEW would be capable of seize extra viewers over time by getting them invested within the promotion’s ongoing storylines.
