Andrade
This guys has it all, but he's also carrying absolutely zero momentum due to a completely unlogical and uninspired storylines. He was released from WWE and immediately signed and seemed to get quite a reaction upon arrival. He was really the first to jump ship in the big time war between WWE and AEW so he had that heat at the time. Why turn him heel? Why not actually have a big time Latino main eventer babyface? Sure it wasn't in the plans but work it in, the Hangman story was jarred off course anyway and we all knew it.
Malakai Black
Malakai could easily turn it around by simply being placed into a major story but he's cutting promo's on Feugo. This is the same exact thing as Andrade except in some ways he may have been an even bigger catch because he had recently been featured and talked about a bit on WWE...
They could have matched him with literally any major star in AEW for a program and instead they paired him with the on again off again Codester for a program that went on so long hot and cold nobody gave a shit.
His House of Black alliance is awesome and should be a big fucking deal wrecking ass on TV all the time instead I can't even remember anything they've ever done.
Miro
Where the fuck is Miro? Look I don't really like him that much I find his matches to really top out at around the 3 1/2 star level if you know what I mean. But still he's a great character, what the fuck is going on? He should be doing something big.
Sammy Guevara
Is getting go away heat from me. He's been overhyped and over pushed. Why push him when you have Andrade? Seriously, if you're going to push one Latino star, why would you not chose Andrade? FFS. Obviously you can and should have more than one but you get me.
Keith Lee
Keith should have signed with AEW from the beginning. But he didn't and he got a bit older and probably injured and all that stuff and now we have a broken Keith Lee. Sure he can still "go" but he's slower and mentally he lacks any real edge as a character. His promo is terrible. He could have been brought in, in a way like Vader in Japan. He could have destroyed Adam Page and TOOK the World Championship on day 1. That would have been
interesting.
Instead he's cutting bad promo's and tagging with Swerve who I love but they aren't really featured in a major way. It's just a placement angle for both of them.
I see value in Keith Lee if he's essentially booked like Vader, but otherwise I'm not interested, and clearly they aren't going to book him like Vader.
Jay Lethal
I can tell he's going to be a focus in ROH and he's been getting better spots on AEW lately so I can't really complain.
Jeff and Matt Hardy
If Tony is able to get some kind of TV deals or some kind of liscensing based off the Hardys then ok that's good. But really this whole deal is such a shit idea. We have enough old timers at this point and Jeff and Matt really bring nothing to the... table.
I enjoy their crazy bumps but also I feel them in some ways as well. It's painful to watch Jeff bump these days and Matt is too crazy to say no. I hope this run for Matt is brief and that Jeff is protected going forward.
