D.N. Nation posted:w/r/t a "lighter schedule" for Jeff, IIRC he barely did anything in the year+ after that admittedly great Styles/Zayn/Hardy match in 2020 other than putting a few nobodies over on Main Event and beating Karrion Kross. Pretty sure during the return to the road WWE wasn't doing the house show circuits of old, no? WWE still does two house shows a week, double branded. In November of 2021, the month before his release he had 13 matches. MassRafTer fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Aug 1, 2022 |

MJeff posted:Every single reason you could've brought up (and was brought up at the time) to not sign Jeff Hardy all came true within like a month of him signing. He looked unwatchably awful in every single match, he immediately Did The Thing Jeff Hardy Does, he wasn't any kind of ratings draw at all and you can basically never use him again anyway, which is hilarious because he currently has wins over two of your top tier acts. Everyone will forget about the Hardys run in a few... now. But Tony now has him doing an awesome swanton bomb on the concourse in their tape library!

Also I'll throw in Pillman Jr. as one of their worst signings, mostly because they gave him a lot of TV time to figure it out and have nothing to show for it. Has never improved in the ring, no charisma, terrible promos, pretty much a zero across the board.

Kosmo Gallion posted:6. Was rarely on TV enough to be considered one of AEWs worst signings. When exactly was Marko's last appearance on Dynamite? Last time I remember seeing him was when Lance Archer launched him into orbit. It would be whenever it was that Christian joined up with Jurassic Express. He was the third guy in that little group, before he was quietly replaced with Christian, and I think even Marko Stunt himself would agree that it was a trade up. Honestly, this isn't even the worst decision when it comes to HHH matches at WrestleMania. 19, anyone?

Eh, Beepie is very average, but he's also inexpensive, and his presence led to screen time for Julia, which led to the House Of Black angle.

I'm mostly baffled that anyone's still using "Marky Mark" references in 2022. Most people don't remember that part of Mark Wahlberg's career, and lest we forget, dude had a Funky Bunch. What do YOU have, Twitter guy?

I think Marko's problem wasn't so much being replaced but the fact that AEW apparently just ghosted him the moment they decided they were done with him.

IGgy IGsen posted:I'm not even looking up which one that was but I just immediately thought of Booker T Got it in one. 26 and 29 are the other egregious ones, where he beat Sheamus and Brock when both needed a big win at a signature event. 19 though, will always stink to high heaven.

I didn’t watch the Flair thing but the Observer recap said Beepie was a good heal at it and his team with Brock felt more natural than the team with Griff. Beeps has been liking/rting stuff about breaking up the Varsity Blonds so I expect that team will be done soon.

Sounds like a win/win since a lot of people saw potential in Griff as a singles guy.

I watched a Warrior Wrestling show from June and they had Beepie kicking out of several of Will Ospreay's biggest moves. It was utterly bizarre that anyone would book him that strongly.

I think the funniest end result of this is going to be when all the WWE people are forced to admit that they like flippy poo poo now and have to move the goal posts about why AEW's flippy poo poo is the bad kind.
