When AEW made its West Coast Dynamite debut with the post-Double Or Nothing episode from The Kia Forum in Los Angeles, they apparently missed out on a vital piece of mainstream media exposure. The Los Angeles Times wanted to write an article on AEW, according to The Wrestling Observer, but the company never responded. This is a problem for a company like AEW, because they are unable to avoid working with the media at that level. Discovery are situated in Los Angeles, and while the value of the local newspaper has declined in recent years, The Los Angeles Times remains one of the most respected newspapers in the country. There’s no information on why AEW didn’t respond to The LA Times.
