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 think the bucks, kenny, and jericho using the insults and stuff punk said about them leading up to and after getting fired as fuel for their out of nowhere feud is incredibly lame and the Bucks possibly joining the Callis Family will be whatever

how is AEW so bad with Visa issues? Is no one keeping track of that? This happens all the time with PAC (besides injuries), Ogogo, Penta, Fenix, and Rush. I remember when WWE forgot about renewing Barrett and Sheamus visas years ago and that was considered are rare gently caress up

Here are her defenses if someone wants to do the math. I think 9/11 to last week might be close to a hundred days?

regarding her not defending the title, she is still on TV every week in multiple segments in even the mens mainevent title scenes so she was still being used while other people were feuding over title shots vs her

KungFu Grip
Jun 18, 2008
she's not the manager she's like clearly the leader of the stable and the only one important in the group of jobbers she bosses around lmao. and wwe was clearly behind her being the only woman in a mens stable and doing some intergender stuff where she was attacking and bodyslamming dudes bigger than her up to entering at 1 in the rumble to the end and winning the title at mania. Like WWE rear end but they at least try to actually make the women stars in their division when they actually care about them, same with Bianca

That sounds like a manager to me if she mostly doesn't wrestle outside the Rumble and the title win then just runs a stable

Edited because you edited more context

There's non title matches in there too just like AEW does segments and non title "Eliminator" matches with their womens wrestlers they just in one segment and not presented like that big of a deal compared to guys like OC, BCC, Jericho and The Elite. The last time anyone was booked or treated like a star in the womens division was Britt and Jade

KungFu Grip
Jun 18, 2008
imo i think Young Bucks TV act kind of exposed them because they've really already done everything they can do with their characters. Like I dont know how whatever they do next unless there's a drastic change in their look/presentation but the new angry temper tantrum stuff feels like a retread of their Elite heel run.

Also I'm starting to feel like Swerve vs Mox is gonna be a draw and Jay white is gonna weasel his way into the finals


also re: bucks, that match vs ftr at all in was sloppy and very much felt like neither team really wanted to be in that match.

KungFu Grip
Jun 18, 2008
FTR absolutely also got the wind taken out of them with Dax being a crybaby bitch on twitter (not important) and Cash road rager as well as Punk getting shitcanned but now they pretty much did it all in AEW unless they do a real NJPW tour or whatever but even then they won their top prize already. Only other thing kind of interesting is if they turn heel again but even then its like?? they got to move a different tag team up the card, besides Starks/Bill because AEW's tag division is kind of stale with everyone having jobbed to Bucks/FTR for the past year and Acclaimed kind of just floating around with the Trios Title (injury angle aside)

So Tony Khan said he was hurt but people are assuming he’s faking it and refusing to job and is one of those evil WWE Returners because he talks like a dork and may have expressed vague frustration at his booking? I’ve been trying to figure out why everyone hates Keith Lee now. Is that about it?

same reason why everyone thinks malakai is a WWE Returner
