Dying while wrestling? Happened (sporadically) in other companies before, probably can happen again. Dying because of a lack of safety protocols and general negligence for a de facto dangerous stunt? Probably not within a culture like AEW's.

Freezer-burn take: Most of the people mad about AEW partnering with Martha and starting this memorial either didn't see him while he was alive or weren't fans of his, they're just mad that AEW is giving him a tribute. When Dark Side of the Ring's episode on Owen came out I want to see what their takes were on Martha

BTW I hate people going after "casuals". That's not a real thing. If you watch wrestling and start to like it you are no longer a casual fan. You're just a fan. And if you're a fan who stops watching you don't go back to casual. You just aren't a fan anymore. It's like saying "AEW actually sucks because I mean how many unicorns have they gotten to start tuning in?"

To me, "casual wrestling fan" sounds like someone who puts wrestling on for background noise but doesn't really pay much attention to it, like if they're doing dishes or folding laundry or something

What's especially fun about that one is a) AEW have already done a memorial for one of their talents, it was widely regarded as fantastic, emotional & tasteful. b) AEW wrestlers not dying is somehow a bad thing?

WWE is simple, easy to consume entertainment. It doesn't require a cult like passion, or for you to watch YouTube shows and follow international promotions to know whats going on. Its just here's this guy and his character and style, here's this other guy, here's why they're fighting, $4.99/mo to watch the payoff on Peacock. The talent is just sooooo much better in WWE, and by that I mean everyone in WWE, from Randy Orton to Rick Boogs is crisp and confident in what they do. Not trying to do moves they don't know how to and putting eachother at risk to try and pop the crowd and get noticed. Not to mention they take their physique and health seriously in WWE whereas part of the creative freedom in AEW seems to be the freedom to look like poo poo on live TV. Thats not even getting into the women, WWE has women that are some of the best wrestlers in the world regardless of gender, Sasha Banks is 5x the worker anybody in AEW is save for Christian and Danielson types. You can say the storylines are corny and the characters are made for kids but at least they have storylines and characters that get fully fleshed out on TV. But WWE takes the in-ring work so much more seriously than AEW and they don't need to throw themselves through glass and barbed wire and bleed all over the place, or kick out of 75 super kicks to have great matches. For me its like comparing the Foo Fighters to some indy rock band. Yeah the foo fighters are poppy and do a safe family friendly show focused on playing the hits but they're loving professionals and give you an awesome 3hr show everytime and thats what I'm looking for.
