>>16304732And what do you do with that mic time? Idk, how about try playing into what people care about -- if that's politics have some of that on the show, where's the chud character? Never have to mention Trump or MAGA by name but play into the themes, if the sort of young people you want to attract to AEW all hate Israel, run an Israeli sympathizer angle. Where's the evil Russian or the Ukrainian shitheel? Where's the rich capitalist guy shitting on everyone for being wageslaves (not just MJF's I'm rich and you're all poors throwaway line schtick.) Not everything will work but you've got to try something "new," and yeah I'm aware this type of heat is older than pro wrestling itself but it's completely new to AEW. WWE let Muhammad Hassan go off on the mic just a few years after 9/11 and it was fucking awesome. We The People wasn't great but that's in the vein of what AEW needs to do I think to get some heat, attention, and excitement around their television show. What's THIS GUY gonna say next? I sure hope he doesn't interact with THIS OTHER GUY or some shit could and probably will spark off, how will that go? Darby slept in his car, more and more people are shoot slipping into homelessness in America, have him feud with some rich shit bag around these thenes. What will the X HEEL and Y HEEL characters do when they finally run into each other and yadda yadda.
Let someone say something REAL once. And don't immediately panic and cut shit off when someone inevitably shrieks and cries about it online, keep it going, build the heat, build to SOMETHING.
