>>14782005Scraping for something through loose connections to call it some variation of "long term story telling" is a symptom of having no actual tangible story - that's the entire AEW mainstream appeal problem in a nutshell. "Timmy did laundry 5 years ago and John ate an apple 3 years ago so that's why they gonna have 3/5 tournament" - Nobody gives a shit. 
 And it ain't "illegal" to do this shit for your side stories, by all means, cook up all the loose connections you want but for belts and the people you push you should aim for keeping it simple for clarity.
