Exactly. It's not booked by a wrestling fan for wrestling fans. It's booked by an insufferable smark for other insufferable smarks. There's a reason PWG never expanded outside of SoCal, or why ROH never truly took off on an national scale. Wrestling Fans is already a small population of people, and you're focusing on a niche portion of that fanbase.
The only promotion that did is successfully was ECW because they leaned into the pop culture zeitgeist of the time. Even when AEW tries to do that, they fail miserably (i.e. Space Jam match, Fyter Fest, or referencing Game of Thrones long after everyone stopped giving a shit about it). Tony's not up with pop culture because he's an autistic nerd that only cares about wrestling.
