    I think what people (Tony Khan most of all) aren’t appreciating is that, through the very unfortunate circumstances of his health situation, Omega does not have the stink of 2024 AEW on him. People don’t associate him with half-empty buildings and lame ass creative. He’s like a time traveler from the glory days who’s come back to save the company. You wanna talk about restoring the feeling? Kenny Omega holding the world title and having incredible singles matches IS the fucking feeling. He’s the feeling that launched the movement that would become AEW to begin with.

    This is a fucking gift, TK. You drew a “get out of a bad creative direction free” card. Use it.

    Man, this is so good. You are 100% right. 

    Kenny is Laser-Tron.

     

  2. While I adore all three guys (who doesn’t), I’ll go the opposite route and say that the New Day segment fell flat to me. 

    I think it’s one of those things that read very well in the writer’s room, and it was well presented, but it was so patently obvious to me at least that the performers Kingston and Woods didn’t actually believe any of the words the characters Kingston and Woods were saying, that it came across awkward and “playing wrestler”.

    I know that’s a silly thing to say as of course that’s always the case, but in this particular segment, with this issue, to me it pulled me out of it as a viewer.

    To me at least and by the sound of it at least some of rest of the audience, this angle still has “I legitimately don’t want to see this; stop this angle” heat, not good heat.

  3. Am I the low voter on Ricky Starks? Because I don’t really see it. Dude kind of stinks.

    Like a lot of others I did think he was a potential Next Big Deal upon his debut, but relatively immediately it became obvious how Year One At The Performance Center-level over-choreographed the whole presentation is and I more or less tuned out. 

    A smaller Austin Theory with a little more (but not a lot of) natural charisma probably doesn’t get out of first gear in WWE.

    The Death Riders storyline sucks and has no heat at all, much like the rest of AEW. None of the major storylines have any heat. AEW picked the worst possible time to run stadium shows at a time when the product has never been colder, there's no excitement or buzz on the promotion at all, their live attendance is dwindling. I don't know how they expect to draw decent attendance at Globe Life Field and Suncorp Stadium at this rate. The product is an absolute joke, and Tony Khan is doing absolutely nothing to turn it around.

    Tony Khan has lost the plot, and he's utterly failing here.

    This is probably better for the navel gazing thread but, man, I agree. AEW has now gone ice cold to me to the point that I was watching whatever mid-major college basketball game was on ESPN+ last night instead of the show. And I hate that, and it’s never been the case before. Like I don’t want to like Louisiana-Monroe basketball more than AEW, but here we are.

    It’s bad bad. I don’t have great solutions, but we’ve lost that loving feeling. This Death Riders thing is just awful. Not to beat a dead horse, but where is the heart and soul? Even OC has had to go to the dark side in order to fight evil.

  5. It is interesting that not counting trios teams there are, at minimum, six heel stables running at once: BCC, Hurt Syndicate, Callis Family, Patriarchy, Elite, Learning Tree

    There are….two? Babyface stables? Conglomeration, I guess Dark Order, and I guess even if you stretch that to trios you can add PP+Garcia and Bang Bang Gang?

    It’s extremely lopsided, and literally every single one of those six heel stables has the upper hand in their current feuds. There are 8 segments per show.

    Something has to give at some point. I’ve called for the Syndicate babyface turn but they aren’t even fully formed yet and that’s like a half year away from now.

  6. I skip Cole segments, so could someone walk me through this whole thing?

    - When we last left off, MJF was the face and Cole + UK are the heels

    - While Cole is away, MJF turns back heel

    - Cole returns as a face. UK says they are going their own way

    - UK comes back the next week and joins Cole…as faces.

    That right? So presumably we are picking right back up where we left off, with the roles reversed, but no narrative reason as to why the roles have reversed?
