Pro wrestling is very simple and can be boiled down to three things:

Who are these two people?
Why are they fighting?
Why should I care enough to pay to see it?

If you answer those three questions you will be successful.

The easiest shyt in the world, yet so many in pro wrestling don't get it.

It is that simple, he should have ended it with "give the fans what they want".

Have main eventers raise others up so you have more main eventers and important matches.

The fans are getting what they want in AEW and its boring as hell. Your product and direction should be so compelling and focused that it becomes what the fans want.

You set up Main eventer A vs Main Eventer B where Main Eventer A is supposed to win and:
-Main eventer A gets a DUI the night before the match
-Main eventer B refuses to lose to main eventer A
-Semi Main eventer C is injured
-Semi Main Eventer D and Main Eventer B have already had a year long feud that got stale, but semi Main eventer D is the only main eventer left

I somewhat disagree. Its obvious the "stars" or main eventers are not willing to feud against other main eventers or young talent because they don't want to lose. Or if they lose, they lose in a way that doesn't make them too weak.

Giving the fans what they want =\= doing what the fans want. You never listen to fans individual opinions. They're stupid. You listen and look at their reactions.

Right. For example, There’s certain people that’s get over, or programs that fans obviously want to see, Vince would notice that and just say, “fukk that!,” and go the opposite direction just because…
