MJF hasn't popped a Milly on TV since winning the World Championship.

What went wrong?

AEW is too keen to be seen to be building younger guys, but younger guys lack seasoning.

They pushed DG for how fucking long? The whole 4 pillars thing? Nick fucking Wayne being featured more prominently than having a short match every few months?

The 4 Pillars have been on the show for literally 4 years at this point, that's nearly an entire Attitude Era

And the attitude era was guys in the early-mid 30s. The Rock was the exception.

Will kinda did, but he did it by being the flippiest of the flippy in environments that are fine with that.

Why do people think whoever has the belt dictates the ratings more than the 75% of the show that has nothing to do with the champion?

They've barely built anyone but have hired a bunch of Exfed guys. The Exfed guys are more prominent than they've ever been and ratings aren't exactly skyrocketing

Danielson got utterly fucked over by Tony's bad booking and he wasn't good enough to overcome it. Whereas Christian is so good he can turn bad booking into dimes.

Danielson has known that he's closing in on the end for a while and was in full "let me put people over" mode. Maybe this run will be a bit different if he's actually planning on packing in big TV wrestling.

I like Jericho, Christian, Mox and Danielson.

Jericho had his ups and downs but he still feels like a big-ish deal. Mox is also great but he needs to go away for a bit so he's a bigger deal.

I have legitimately no idea what Tony was thinking hiring Edge. Feels like a peak TNA moment.

Edge has done big numbers for the social media stuff, it seems like it's probably gonna work out, and Edge and Christian are probably gonna retire together at the end of their current contracts.

I don't understand the deal around this. It's not like Tony can point to YouTube views during a contract negotiation with WBD and say that it offsets an 800k number.

It strengthens the brand overall. Eyes and attention for a strictly uplifting thing, after a lot of fucking nonsense is good for them. It also puts the stuff they do into the algorithms more, so more people casually see it.

No it doesn't. Social media numbers are literally worthless if they don't translate into ratings and ticket sales. And they don't.

This is cope.

Tony did push AEW guys. Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta, Jungle Boy, Hangman, and Wardlow. Its just that most of them are dimeless geeks, and Wardlow got fucked by the booking.

MJF and Darby are the only 2 success stories.
