Various News – Kevin Nash Critiques AEW, Dark Side Of The Ring: Bam Bam Bigelow, Kamille
On the latest edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash criticized AEW programming, noting that Tony Khan’s promotion has been unable to grow its audience due to its obsession with blood and spotfests. Nash said,
“I think that what you do … What you do when you allow that much blood and that much spotfest, you paint yourself into a certain demographic that’s going to watch that program. They haven’t grown that audience. There’s a reason why they’re not growing the audience … while in the meantime, WWE is doing some really nice ratings.”
All Elite Wrestling has announced a new partnership with the global nonprofit organization Best Buddies International to promote inclusion and empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
A new episode of Season 4 of Dark Side Of The Ring debuts tonight, featuring the career of the late Bam Bam Bigelow.
