They should fire your favorite wrestler and put out a mean tweet about it

Tony Khan is a psycho who has somehow killed every best indie tag team of the last ten years. We do not talk enough about how many good teams came to AEW to die

Young Bucks are stuck in an endless loop of phoning it in while they either tease breaking up the elite or wrestler FTR.

SCU - Dead

Top Flight - always injured, dead

Bear Country - very dumb, lost all their heat, might as well be dead

P&P - Tony can't manage talent, dead

2.0 - currently in the most WWE poo poo of their life

Aussie Open - Welcome to the big leagues, hurt and dead.

Beaver Boys - in the worst faction in the company

Super smash bros - dead

Best friends - Tony rewards them for constantly killing themselves for his entertainment with a spot in the face.

Butcher and the Blade - ton of potential who needed a trainer, dead.

Hardy Boyz - should be dead and one of them is trying and being allowed to.

Private party - sorry kids, careers over, dead

ReDRagon - dead

AEW sucks for tag teams

Hybrid 2 - dead

Swerve in our glory - dead

AEW sucks for tag teams. Big Bill and Ricky are legitimately the most entertaining ones right now, deserve to hold the titles, and that's a bit sad.

Every good tag team left does midcard matches while the Acclaimed get on top by the fact that it is very funny to say scissor me Daddy rear end

to be honest, at lot of these teams stank but i see your point

A lot were but I think everyone on that list either came into the company hot or with "momentum" and "potential" and Tony wasted it. The best company for tag team wrestling is a graveyard

Edit: it's currently the division with the fewest titles and both of them are held by two guys thrown together

I think adding the Trios Titles as well but there being no real delineation of trios teams vs tags has hosed it all up

The best of 7 might not have been worth anything that has come after. Should have just disappeared and never discussed again with the brawl out retcon.

Current babyface MJF is one of the worst things in all of wrestling in like at least 10 years. It's like if you took 2003/04 TNA Jeff Jarrett overbooked cheating dogshit finishes mixed with 2005/06 John Cena invincible overcoming the odds, then gave him Santino Marella's moveset, but also made it this self aware "wink wink" comedy character and it's just one giant insufferable package. If Max is booking himself, then we would do better somewhere like WWE where the writing team can actually provide some quality control.

So many dudes are being wasted so we can have a bloated MJF show every week. Imagine hiring Keith Lee and doing absolutely nothing with him. Or Andrade, or Miro, or Malakai, or any of the other WWE cast offs who should be tearing it up.

AEW making me sit through another Miro "my wife is interested in other men" angle has honestly been worse than anything MJF has done including last night's garbage.

Good thread but not going to nod along with any podcast guys, they can all go gently caress their rear end. The problem with the tournament is that he's doing a G1 except without any of the pomp and all the matches are on a Wednesday at 8:30. It's not going to feel special if you don't treat it special. Sorry about your insulted wallets

Let's get our hate home grown. Don't need a podcaster to give me the scoop that the tournament will have job guys, the point of the tournament is for some guys to win and some to lose, and not all of the planned losers want to lose. Definitely don't need them to know the build has been bad.

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.

“Hardcore AEW Fans Who Never Engaged With 2000s/2010s Indie Wrestling” was a type of person I didn’t think existed a year or so ago but have come to realize somehow makes up the majority of the fanbase. Bizarre!

Saying that wrestling isn't for children because it's violent is really dumb. Children are the most violent and the most hungry for violence out of all humans. The first comedy we can comprehend is slapstick.

The best part of AEW is that you know that Vince isn't making anyone do the terrible gimmicks. Every moment of Roddy in a neck brace is the man finally getting to cook after years of being locked out of the kitchen.
