AEW&#8217;s inaugural pay-per-view event Double Or Nothing turned out to be a huge success and exceeded all expectations. The show was better than ALL IN and, in fact, of a higher standard than most of the recent WWE PPVs.



On <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://soundcloud.com/ohyoudidntknowshow/oh-you-didnt-know-wrestling-show-ep-28" target="_blank">Oh, You Didn’t Know</a> podcast, Brad Shepard revealed that a &#8220;high-level&#8221; source in WWE had told him that AEW is good for pro wrestling in its entirety.

<blockquote style="text-align:center" class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">“I spoke with a high-level source in the company and I got their thoughts about AEW and Double Or Nothing. The source said: ‘I have to admit that AEW is good for wrestling as a whole. Dirt sheets and YouTube are bursting with content and reactions to the show. I didn’t like the idea of getting so many old guys involved, but I understand at least for their first show. Going forward they should obviously focus more on their own core talent versus taking shots at WWE or bringing in somebody like Bret Hart.'&#8221; </blockquote>

At Double Or Nothing, Bret &#8220;The Hitman&#8221; Hart showed up as a suitable replacement for Ric Flair to introduce the AEW World Championship. Both Hart and Flair are 2-time WWE Hall Of Famers.

The source did mention that AEW shoud stop featuring old guys and instead focus on the young talents. It&#8217;s true that the upstart promotion currently has a lot of ex-WWE veterans, namely Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Dean Malenko, Dustin Rhodes and Jim Ross.



Jericho is playing a major role in the storyline and has already cemented himself as one of the top heels in the new company. The same can&#8217;t be said about Dustin &#8211; the elder Rhodes brother already wrestled his last match at Double Or Nothing if we are to believe in rumors.

Going forward, AEW should hopefully be able to rely on its core wrestlers to carry the product instead of bringing in legends to do the job.
