AEW always tries to deliver the best show possible for each of their pay-per-views but they end up becoming way too long. Unsurprisingly, even Toni Storm has now criticized AEW for their lengthy pay-per-views and admits its draining.
While speaking on the Sandman podcast, Toni Storm criticized AEW for the long hours involved in their pay-per-view events. She explained that shows often start late and run for an extremely long time, sometimes keeping her in the building for over 12 hours before even stepping into the ring. On some nights, she doesnt wrestle until 11 p.m. and then has to stay even later for media scrums that can run past 1 a.m.
Storm said the schedule is exhausting both physically and mentally. After waiting all day, shes still expected to perform in a 25-minute match, which takes a heavy toll on her body. She admitted that the endless waiting and constant conversations throughout the day drain her energy, making the overall experience tough to handle even though she still loves wrestling.
Even Jim Rosspreviously admitted that AEW pay-per-views have too many matches. Fans may love the action-packed shows, but even the wrestlers are feeling worn out. Its unclear if AEW will change its schedule to make things easier, but Toni Storms comments show that the long days are tough for everyone working behind the scenes.
