I remember. Oh I do. I remember when AEW didn’t exist and all these same accounts would rip the gently caress out of WWE. Hell, that’s what scjerk was at one time, the sick bastards.

And now look. Gotta absolutely shred, for 8 hours a day, half of your entire post log, gotta shred and tear the hot new brand in town.

You love to see it.

Is this like... a person praising Starbucks as being obviously superior to a local coffee joint? What world am I living in? Are we going to start waxing poetic about the superiority of Wal-mart to my local farmers market next?

I think they're saying the banner is like a small coffee shop being proud that they're outselling Starbucks in spite of the name recognition and corporate backing.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Let's ignore all the backstage stuff that was actually bad and just focus on the on screen stuff, a year of the Fiend, the Fiendess, Orton's night vision, Raw Underground, Retribution, Matt Riddle's sexual assault accusations becoming part of his character and so much more and just try to get into the headspace that Miro's debut is one of the worst things of the year.

If the Street Fight hadn't been an amazing ending I think people would say the same about the Santana and Ortiz feud. They would be wrong in both cases because the Best Friends b-movie storylines are great.

You would think that "this thing was a complete botch on every level" and "the fans don't actually think it's bad" would be mutually exclusive statements, but no.

the only thing i've thought was bad with his current run is that when they did that 'break the arcade machine' spot it clearly had nothing in it. everything else i've been fine with

is it just because he's not Rusev Part Two? he clearly didn't want to just be that when he debuted, and that's fine

i mean there's nothing wrong with the idea of 'hey this isn't working, it needs to get changed up'

the thing is, that dude (who is apparently one of the people behind OSW, lol) seems to think that it's obviously bad and that it's garbage that everyone else doesn't agree with him and they should change their minds

I'm not gonna pretend like Miro has been handled perfectly but it's not the worst thing AEW has done. We all know and remember how bad The Nightmare Collective was, and nothing he's done has been even close to that. At worst, the bad Miro stuff is probably just forgettable.

But also, if they brought Miro in as a monster and had him crushing everybody en route to winning a title there'd be (the same) people arguing that it's bad because he's a WWE castoff getting a huge push.

~*4 LIFE*~
Miro is undefeated and presented as a monster every time he gets in the ring. He came in right after a run of big hossy men debuted at the top of the card (Brodie, Archer, Cage) and he's also having to learn for the first time who he is as a wrestler both as a character and a worker without WWE's control and being put in an instant top spot would have really exposed him. Yes the Best Friends storyline has dragged on longer than it had legs for and yes his debut match had some botches but his long-term prospects are still very high. By the end of the year I think he'll be in a really good spot.

i think miro is probably strongest as a monster given what we've seen of his wrestling style before, but the person behind the character didn't want to do the same exact poo poo he was doing in WWE and that's absolutely worth respecting

i also think that things got a bit derailed with trent getting injured so they extended the miro/OC stuff to fill the gap

Miro also seems to be having the time of his life and he's gonna get to the top of the card eventually, so I really fail to see any problem here.

Other than the usual of AEW having too many cool people and too little time to feature them.

Exactly this. He came in low and has room to grow. If you bring every new person in as the top person, the only place they have to go is down. Now AEW can do this weird thing of "building a star" in their company which is a wild new idea.

WHEN CODY RHODES
FINISHED THE STORY
Miro is kept strong and out of the main event scene pretty obviously Bc he will eventually get a storyline that elevates him. That story is not currently happening, but they want him on TV, so they gave him a different storyline! How do some people not get this?
