>>17662729>CodyAlready a star on the indies and in Japan (and arguably in WWE). He was one of AEW's big name talent when they launched the company. Tony didn't make him at all.
>MJFBeing over pushed doesn't make you a star.
As soon as Tony put the belt on him, MJF was completely exposed for how green he really is, which is why he's been back in the midcard ever since. MJF threw out the first pitch at a Yankees game as AEW Champion and the crowd had no fucking clue who he was. Not a star.
>HangmanDefinitely not a star. Just another indie darling that can't cut a promo to save his life.
>DarbyThis, I'll give you. He's the only one of Tony's pet projects that's actually worked out.
That said, nobody knows who the fuck he is outside of AEW.
>TakeshitaNo one outside of AEW has any clue who Takeshita is. He's a nobody. Why would you even pretend he's a star?
>FletcherRandy Orton at home. Again, over pushing someone doesn't automatically make them a star.
>SwerveWWE's sloppy seconds. He was solely pushed just because he came straight from WWE and AEW was rightfully criticized for having no black stars at the time.
