This week AEW has released its first-ever book, This Book Is All Elite: The Inside Story of AEW, and as a podcast that has dedicated itself to talking about the history of AEW I thought it would only be fitting to read and review the book. I go through it chapter by chapter and look at who is telling the story, what they are trying to say about AEW and what more (or less) could they have done.I&#39;d love to know your thoughts on it, whether you&#39;ve read the book or not.
