Billionaires naturally hate tag teams because a team is kind of like a union, he can’t help it

Tony’s handling of the entire Elite/Punk fallout was embarrassingly bad. Threw away years worth of big money matches/feuds by not knowing how to manage his talent and nip something like that in the bud.

Arguing with Punk people as a diehard Hangman fan was fun. MJF on top is company cancer from day one doing his long long man shtick and only gets worse, detracting from everything around him including his own matches not held together by Bryan loving Danielson

the problem with Elite/Punk was that on screen talent shouldnt also be the bosses and Tony should stop trying to be friends and one of the boys and be the Boss

Santana/Ortiz and Smash Bros were good. Lucha Bros feel like an after thought half the time but i get thats between sharing them with another promotion, visa issues, and injuries but I feel like a company with money like AEW should be able to be more up on the visa issues, specially if youre running a big international show and cant get those people into other countries.

There was a time when PnP should have gotten the tag belts. They were super hot. I was never into the Dark Order though.

Dark Order's peak, besides being Brodie's lackies, was when they were best buds with Hangman coming to his aid against the evil Elite and then they lost and Hangman became friends with the Elite afterwards and slowly tony khan either didnt sign or split their members off and shoved the stable to the side.

Remember when they were airing new Dark Order video packages recently where it seemed like they were going back to their recruiting cult style?

I've been yearning for years for an AEW round-robin, and while I'm still excited for the C2 it feels like they've done everything in their power to kill interest

- Not even half of the participants revealed with the tournament starting in three days
- The unnecessary complications of the Triple Crown
- TK berating fans to watch the thing

It's still going to be great because the matches will still be great regardless of the circumstances, I'm just annoyed at having to describe more and more of AEW like that

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
literally guffawed at eddie kingston putting his two belts into the mix with the "Continental Title" (Is this distinct from the International One?!?) to be merged in a big tournament that starts soon with barely any participants announced. the belt situation is complete loving parody at this point

this glorious monument

Tony Khan's flaws as a booker.

1) Will fight tooth and nail to keep the plan in place even when it's akin to chewing gum for 11 hours straight and expecting it to retain its flavor.
2) WAY too loving fond of Adam Cole. Also too fond of Britt Baker but Britt was the only woman in the division remotely capable of portraying a character on the stick so I can't completely blame him for this one.
3) Gave up on booking shows in advance. You can change the matches if people get injured Tony. That's why we have 'card subject to change' on the tickets.
4) Gives MJF too much TV time which MJF then fills with either 'grabbing apples off the ground' cheap heat or wacky New Generation antics.
5) Is slowly giving way to more and more WWE-isms of which not booking shows in advance is one. (The TV monitors, taking away the ratings, invisible camera man segments). Not a huge deal but how far does this slide go.
6) Seems a bit reluctant to put gender-non conforming wrestlers on TV. He flushed Sonny Kiss down to TNA and has reduced Nyla Rose to a heater in a division that could frankly use more Nyla Rose and a little less everybody else in the division. (Would not be surprised if this was a WB mandate since Tony had no problem making Nyla women's champion in the opening months of Dynamite)
7) Giving hot rookie acts a winning streak out of the gate is great for maintaining their popularity and optics but is terrible for actually teaching them how to grow as performers. (specifically referring to Hook and Jade Cargill here).

the fact that tony didn't cover punk's mic as soon as he started badmouthing other talent and usher him away is insanity.

agreed but reversed and if punk did end up being the devil i would probably mark the gently caress out again (he's v obv not the devil)

dont get me wrong i still love me some aew but the "what the gently caress were they thinking" segments are getting distressingly common

Going to drop my highly controversial opinion here:

The belts never should have been named "TBS" or "TNT", always thought that was a stupid idea. Just call them the TV and Women's TV championships, that way you can move to a new network someday without having to rename and redesign them

Listen everyone, I may not know alot about AEW Hell but I have read Dante's Inferno and if it's similar then I think the only way out is to have Virgil guide Tony thru each of the 9 circles. Pretty sure Virgil will do it for $50.
