>Hikaru ShidaDespite being a proven draw for the company, she is always treated as an afterthought and has never had any proper feuds to work with. Her two reigns last year were nothing more than match after match with no substance. The focus was always on Baker or Storm. The only time I think Shida got an honest-to-God program was against Deebs. Big Swole has had more actual programs and stories than Shida, Riho, Sakura, or Suzuki - let that sink in.
>Mariah MayOutside of Shida's first reign, it's fair to say her others were lacking. But they seem almost competent compared to May. Tony Khan has nothing for her, and she is just languishing - hell, at least Shida was having matches. You might argue they're waiting for Mina Shirakawa, but that doesn't mean May can't have something to work with. At the moment, it's painfully obvious TK is waiting for Storm to return or to give the belt to Mone. To call Mariah May an afterthought would be generous.
>Jamie HayterDespite the fans begging for Hayter to be the one who won the belt, TK ignored them and put it on Toni Storm - displaying how completely tone-deaf he was/is. Now, they corrected this, but Hayter became Baker's understudy, and everything was focused on Baker. At this time, Hayter had no programs, just being part of the Bakerverse with Saraya and Storm. She finally returns, and they have fucking nothing for her, her aura gone. Perhaps they can correct it, but given TK's record, I doubt it.
>Lance ArcherThe Kane of AEW. A big scary monster, who is there to job.
>Lil NiggaWent from being one of AEW's brightest stars (scoring a million plus in main events) before being fed to CM Cunt, who diminished his drawing and star power. He's then booked to lose all the big matches, and the arrival of Adam Copeland overshadows his match against Christian and feel second rate compared to the WWE guys (WHO ARE THE REAL STARS).
