AEW Filing Mass DMCA Notices To Take Down Botch Videos

Tony Khan has bragged about not needing to train AEW wrestlers in a traditional manner, and he’s been receiving a lot of criticism for that lately. With the increasing number of botches, several fans have called out the company for being an unsafe environment. Twitter users, who shared AEW botches to the platform, are receiving DMCA takedown of their content.

This would be hardly the first time AEW has done such mass takedowns. One name that often pops up with these DMCA takedowns is Donald Stevens, who is notoriously known for taking down any content that the company would rather not want the internet to see. It is widely thought that Donald Stevens is Aubrey Edwards, working under a pseudonym.

Some of the clips of the botches in an AEW ring even resulted in injury, but as you can see, all those videos were taken down. Obviously, most of these posts are not shared with ill will, but to spread awareness about the issue.

“If you’re going to brag about not having a training center, you shouldn’t then complain when people upload video of your wrestlers screwing up and hurting each other,” one fan commented. “Address YOUR issue, not your issue with others.” Others also chimed in on the matter, expressing their concerns.

Khan’s resurfaced interview on the SwerveCity Podcast did not age well. TK said during the interview that AEW does not provide typical training since they take a different approach. It seems to be costing the company its reputation.

We’re not about centralized training all week long

Given the situation, AEW is sure to face massive pressure from the fans for suppressing the issue. You may take a look at the tweets below.
