Continuing to feud with Cody for several hundred years after he squashed him is exactly what made Malakai stop mattering and also it's pretty much the exact point that the crowds started getting sick of Cody's bullshit.

Last Saturday I watched a one legged man win a rear end kicking competition, nothing makes sense and there is no meaning, American Top Team just needed more time to cook, poo poo in your Thanksgiving turkey this Thursday.

i think cody had a dumb brain for booking but i'd give up most AEW stars to have him back. he was the only EVP that did anything even remotely EVPish

His TV was what we had to suffer through in exchange for being the best locker room leader in the business. So many things changed after he left.

On reflection I would have to agree, nothing the other guys have done has been half as entertaining as Cody getting a boot to the head while beginning what was meant to be a moving speech, or Glock Anderson

in my head: the codyverse was like bad WCW where we'll always remember and laugh about it. jericho and mjf's bad stuff is like bad WWE where you forget about it 6 months after it happened.

I have a feeling if Cody was around the descent into pure sports entertainment would have happened quicker as we had both MJF and thr Codyverse. Even if they were feuding they'd still double the time

I miss the days when AEW's greatest non-Cody related sins were that every single wrestler interview was instantly interrupted by the heels before the face had time to answer a single question.

In order for hate threads to get the juice they need goons tend to either make poo poo up or grossly misread the text of the thing they're talking about like

Misreading the text of AEW so badly as to say this about MJF, the wrestler who has done showbiz songs and outright stated "I hate the wrestling part of wrestling and will do as little of it as possible".

fawning deference posted:

"the wrestler who hates the showbiz elements of wrestling."

It’s Tony’s attempt to punish Danielson for daring to work NJPW

Big Coffin Hunter posted:

The tournament is mostly just a cudgel to use against the fanbase not into AEW becoming WWE-lite/TNA. Who cares?

The C2 is clearly a good faith attempt (not matter how TK spoke at the press conference) at satisfying both Danielson's desire to do a G1 before he retires without actually losing him for a month and the fans feeling alienated from AEW's pivot to showcasing Sports Entertainment at a forefront. I don't think it'll be executed well but that's on AEW's dysfunctions not on its intentions.

I don't think it'll be executed well but that's on AEW's dysfunctions not on its intentions.

It was announced 11 days before it started, the prize is some extremely murky midcard title that if it's anything like the titles it's made up of, is going to be tied to two streaming service exclusive shows that nobody watches (except contradictorally, it's also really loving weird that the RoH World Championship, a title with 20 years of history is about to just be gone), and we don't even know the field and it starts today. I'm one of those people you're talking about and I don't consider it a good faith attempt to genuinely satisfy fans like me, even before but especially after Khan's comments, which absolutely do matter. At best, it's a haphazard attempt at placation, in which case....cool? I get to watch Bryan vs. Eddie and Bryan vs. Andrade at least (two matches that I've already seen with clean finishes, but whatever) and then what? I got four weeks of actual pro wrestling on this pro wrestling show, so I should shut up until next November? At worst, it's a situation where they promoted it like poo poo on purpose, so when nobody watches it, they can go "oh, well, we tried, nobody cared, more kangaroo kicks it is!"
