>Lucha Bros
I honestly think things turned sour between AEW and the Lucha Bros, when they realised that TK didn't see them beyond a tag team. Look at Penta, fantastic talent, wildly over with the fans, usually always able to put on great matches and get the audience into his matches—so, of course, TK has nothing for him to work with. But the killer was Fenix. Guy wins the international championship belt from Moxley who legit got hurt. Now, rather than running with this and building a story around Fenix, perhaps giving OC some deeper character work, or having Penta display some jealousy towards his brother holding a singles title before him, TK just resets everything - putting the belt back on OC. This was when I realised that TK cannot adapt or think independently. He's too rigid and if anything strays from the plan, he falls apart.
>Killswitch (Formerly Luchasaurs)
Now, this isn't entirely on TK, as this guy has been injured, but there is certainly more you could do with him. He's limited - so was Goldberg. The nice thing about wrestling is that you have a lot of control and are able to work within people's limitations and weaknesses. Killswitch has a great look and certainly stands out from the rest of the roster. Perhaps this is just the old Kane fan in me, but I've always had a soft spot for this kind of gimmick.
>Brain Cage
Great look, able to move in a way a guy his size shouldn't. He is given absolute shit to work with and is constantly moving between things or jobbing in ways he shouldn't.
>Wardlow
See above, his TNT run was one of the worst fucking things I'd ever seen and proved TK isn't a fucking moron.
>Peter Avalon
No, I'm not joking. Avalon is a funny guy, and the Wing-men were a very entertaining mid/lower-mid card faction who could have brought some nice variety to the show. Is he going to win the big one? Absolutely not, but there are plenty of entertaining stories and feuds you could tell with him.
