>>16149133When he first came in? Yeah, he was a fun, different act that was used well, amusing easter eggs, and the audience played into it - the pop whenever he rose up. It was not for everyone, but it was undoubtedly something you'd only see on AEW. Now, to their credit, they then started to grow him - "He's going to try" in his feud with Pac, and by degrees, he began to get more active while still retaining the essence of what made him who he was. The issue is that he is now stale. You can charge his journey from 2019 to 2021, and there is growth. However, now, he's going nowhere, and all his momentum is gone. I was hoping that after he lost the belt to Moxley, they might explore a new wrinkle in his character to move him to the next level. Alas, twas never meant to be.
>>16149005I responded to a question regarding the acts I valued and how I felt the booking around them was disappointing. These were my personal choices. Yeah, I like Butcher and Blade, as I think they bring something different to the tag division, and I'm aware that Bun-bun is gone. Some of the other acts I like seemed to have had some good booking. Swerve and Hangman (who had been killed thanks to TK dropping a nearly three-year-long storyline for Phil) seem to be doing well. The reason I'm not watching, however, is that I have no faith in Tony Khan.
