Big announcement, massive signings, change the business etc… only to under deliver every single time. Sometimes so daramtically that you wonder if it’s a joke…
Jeff Jarrett was great…20 years ago. He is now 55 years old and is an exec. Why would I care about this?
The whole Colt Cabana thing is them going out of their way to be petty.
I watch some shows at times and (although I hate the no selling, breakneck style), I find myself enjoying different aspects of it.
But it feels like they are shooting themselves in the foot on a weekly basis now. It’s embarrassing and the likes of Jericho, Moxley and The Elite as locker room leaders just seem to make Khan’s ego and lack of understanding even worse.
It’s a real mess, I hope Jarrett is ready for some work…and to be despised and quickly thrown out if he tries to correct the boys.

Jeff’s there to make Jericho look younger. They’ve got to make these giant promises because the interest generated from the actual content just isn’t enough.
I desperately want wrestling to be good. I started this thread so positively. The last thing we need is more bad wrestling though. Well, I don’t even know if WWE counts as bad anymore. There are obviously still things that need to change, but I don’t know how anyone can compare the products and decide that AEW ticks more boxes right now. So it’s now got to contend with basically being TNA — it’s something else but it’s not better than the main thing. What are they trying to deliver?
The Colt Cabana thing is just childish from a 50 yr old man who is jealous of another dude’s talent and pissed off there is heat from a decade ago. It’s his playground. Don’t come in here and try to show the other kids how to jump the monkey bars! The idea of Jericho being a locker room leader is terrifying. And they’ve let him have creative input when the dude has displayed nothing but Russo-like tendencies. Cornette raised an interest question the other week: If Jericho was such a locker room leader, where was he when all this stuff was brewing? He loves swooping in and benefitting from it.
His ego is eventually going to clash with someone else. People like that have to throw someone else under the bus for their shortcomings.
