boring and predictable booking
ran out of "dream matches"
make awesome guys from other company look like any other generic guy (looking at okada)
too many belts (yes, WWE has this issue too)

if hangmaam doesnt win the title next saturday there might be a second AEW exodus of fans

>back when this dogshit company had interesting promos
Still funny how Tony books a 20 minute random promo now to build up feuds to try and copy what MJF and Punk did, but since punk left no one gives a shit and you can tell how fake it is

Because Phil left. AEW fans hate to admit it, but it's true. It's damn true. He's the only guy in the industry who can bring out some worked shoot energy out of people who are usually flat.

And if he does win they'll all quickly remember how boring his first title reign was before the Punk shit livened it up

The MJF falloff is a better example. What the fuck happened to that kike? Punk made him look like a mega star now he’s floundering big time.

They used to feel like a lighter version of 98-99 WCW, but fumbled HARD. Now it's never going back. You can't force-recapture that kind of organic hype, timing, and feeling again.
