I'm happy that they want wins and losses to matter, but this was always going to be the problem: taking that too rigidly and booking yourself into corners because you are too petrified to have guys take losses. You can always bounce them back.

Seems its a lot more of their long term plans being wrecked because of Dragon Gate and no assurances Dragon Gate wouldn't ever do this again with their talent in AEW.
They've made it clear in a bunch of interviews that they value long term planning to avoid the problems that plague WWE's Creative and want to avoid repeating TNA/Impact's problems when it came to botching the development of Styles as their top star.
Supposedly their creative mindset is a lot similar to Gedo, who is well known to plan things out as far out as a couple years in advance and then tweak things to keep those plans on course.
