Pushing this guy was one of the biggest reasons AEW failed.

Nah not really. AEW fell off because they abandoned the mission statement - sports based alternative to WWE. When Phil came in and mandated a bunch of changes that made it more WWE like, coupling all this with the Exfed guys dominating the show every week just doesn't work for perception.

Among others. Know what the common theme is? All these guys were in some way pushed aside for Exfed guys that didn't draw shit. Companies tend to want to build guys you fucking retard. Now go reply about how these guys couldn't possibly have been built up in the last 5 years because they're not over in this exact moment.

Wow what an actual retard you are. If Eli fucking Drake can be built in 3 years then any of these guys can be built. It's not about being pushed it's about being built up as a draw you fucking moron.

Hiring Punk was unironically what killed AEW. They became WWE lite, Tony gave up all his plans for a tiny bump. AEW was trending up before Punk anyway. It's like when Punk jumped to WWE. They were at a high and he was brought in, it's not like any more or less people are tuning in or buying tickets.

No because they’re all hot garbage aside form guys like rush and Starks. Thats the point. None of them can help your company. Why would anyone care about Brian cage when they got manlets like PAC or hell even cucky who has the Rhea rub so people can pretend to be interested? Who cares about the dark order. They’ve been a novelty act for a dead dude. Even if Brodie lived, he would’ve been the only one drawing. No one liked Sammy. No one cared about jungle boy as someone who can help your company.

I think Cole, Bucks, OC, and Yuta did more damage, in some what that order with Garcia trailing by and disregarding the Bucks/Punk shit. Because of way Cole is presented despite his physical abilities for the dumb smarks and Tony, and the rest of them just how they very overexposed or flatlined because of the way they were used.

Yuta's another weird one because when he was a indy guy I remember the reaction to him always being either indifference or ambivalence because he was seen as just a generic indy guy no different from the other interchangeable indy guys of the time. All he's really got going for him is that he's a decent looking guy (it's why Quack had him wear a mask) but that doesn't mean anything when everything else is so generic and then the guy booking the promotion has no idea how to make or present anyone as a star.
