Show sounds horrible, but of course I have my opinions on AEW.
* Darby Allin has been the exact same for 4 years now. In the same spot, doing the same shit. For comparison, that takes Rob Van Dam from 2001 to 2005. Remember when a promotion used to get criticized for not doing anything with anyone?
* The women’s division obviously sucks. TK doesn’t have an eye for talent. He falls for the “fed bad” mentality where it’s never a wrestler’s fault that they suck. If he had invested in a proper developmental program for female athletes and standout indy talent 4 years ago, he could have a damn fine thing going. But no foresight there. It’s the same sucky women doing the same sucky things.
* Jeff Hardy has chewed up his last bit of good will. He’s a relic. Last stint he and Matt were ratings losers. These guys are so old it’d be like using the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express in 2003 or something. People don’t look at them and see trendsetters or even legends anymore. They’re clinging on and it seems to reinforce bad habits in at least one of them.
* How can you present anything serious on your show when you’ve got Orange Cassidy in the same universe? It doesn’t make ANY sense. This is why the show couldn’t get over 1.2 million viewers no matter what you do. It’s capped because it insults your intelligence. Orange Cassidy isn’t good either. That whole “when he gets going he’s actually a great wrestler” thing is complete bullshit. So much daylight in his shit. You can see him telegraphing spots miles away. He’s pretty fucking rotten even outside the gimmick.
