Tony Nese is at least underexposed and if booked right could be a good piece.

Jeff Hardy is probably the worst. Doesn’t move the needle, is sawdusted to hell, and has been nothing but problems since joining. And it necessitated a move out of an enhancement talent role for Matt, who was doing/capable of good work with the storylines.

Greeting and salutations my /pw/ bretheren. It is I, the most exquisitely corpulent of Monsieur Khan's contracted employees who had, until recent times, been in the employ of that scurrilous cad Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Now I am sure the lot of you are pontificating about how I and my brother who was not born of the same mother are the kings of the tag team landscape but I assure you, as I sit here quite winded from the finger movements required to type these words I am but the most unsplended and uninspiring regular member of the great Monsignor Antonio Khan's conservatoire of professional grapplers.

I don't know I just don't see anything in Tony Nese. He's like a worse PAC or Buddy Mathews. Jeff is a legit draw, he is sawdusted but hiding him in tags is fine. Him being an alcoholic has always been there and he got released with a clean test, I'd hire him too

I always thought he was hilarious on the indies, but to give him the whole "ALL ELITE" treatment was just Tony cosplaying as Eric Bischoff in the '90s and pretending any ex-WWE signing he got was some huge fucking deal. It's not like Tony's suddenly having him wrestle again and put on the kind of comedy spots he did with Orange Cassidy on the indies. He's playing the same role he did in NXT.

Christian gets a pass because he’s had some good matches and is probably a good guy to have backstage working with younger guys. Money isn’t an object to Khan so that part isn’t that important of a factor.

Really the only thing that does matter as far as how good of a signing they are is how much AEW are paying them-- the more they are, the worse of signing they are. Christian is the first name that comes to mind.

Nese is fine. Every promotion needs those "good hand in the ring" guys that can go but will never rise past a certain level and whose main job is to make the guy going over look good. Only problem is TK is such a workrate geek that he may shoehorn him into a big push ala Scorpio Sky.

This is literally three quarters of AEW's roster though. And they are the ones going over.

Yea please someone explain how him and Swerve should be tag champions over Hobbs and Starks. Swerve is fine but Starks is way better than him and Hobbs is objectively better than Keith Lee and they've paid their dues in AEW for way longer than either of them. It's a pretty confusing situation but whatever, booker of the year knows best, right?

Nese has no charisma, his gimmick is anti-dimes same as it was in WWE. His in-ring style is "Generic 2010s Indy Guy". He's THE Vanilla Midget. So much so that Tony Nese should be used as a synonym for it.

Are you being silly? She's one if not the best female they've brought in. Seeing just a few minutes of her in ring and it's immediately noticeable how much she could improve the matches in the division and actually bring some excitement. She needs to take the titles as soon as possible. Either or both championships I'd say have run their course with other ladies.
