Yeah like I get CM Punk is an asshole but Jericho emerging from this as more of a locker room leader could have far reaching negative consequences. He’s an aging glory hound whose best days are behind him. I really dug some of his new Japan stuff when he started being more vicious but then he just got weird and lost in the sauce.
The Bucks and Omega will keep lowering AEW’s ceiling of course. On top of that, I can’t help but look at the treatment of thunder Rosa and question what’s going on behind the scenes in that company. Also, Cody. And Rusev being wasted tells me all I need to know as well.
I’m still more on the side of AEW in the “war” because unlike the Noidster, they serve such a crucial purpose as the opposition, even if AEW is a facsimile of a competitor. But Tony’s handling of this situation and many others are worrisome. The Sammy and Andrade beef is another situation he totally bungled.
It seems they’re going to veer more into indyriffic bucks and Kenny bullshit, too. So there’s that to dread.
