Unironically, how did things go so wrong for Wardlow? He was one of the most over talents

I don't understand why his first reign was so lackluster

Could they really not find anyone better to feed him than Sterling?

MJF was the new shiny toy, then Samoa Joe, then Hobbs. Tony will get bored of Hobbs and whoever else and give it back to Wardlow at some point, but no one can retain heat because Tony is a bad booker.

Tony doesn't understand how momentum works and he never will. He thinks you can take somebody who's white hot, who just beat AEW's top heel, and have them start feuding with security guards and a comedy lawyer. He's so autistic or coked up or whatever it is that he can't relate to people and he doesn't understand what resonates with them. So he stumbles on to hot angles by pure accident and constantly follows them up with wet farts.

Bad booking. Just like the start of every Dynamite at this point it was all downhill with Orange Cassidy

Don't knock Jay Lethal, faggot. He's one of the best pro wrestlers alive today. The problem isn't too much Jay it's too many mediocre indie shitters and literally whos eating up screentime and stinking up Dynamite.

Wardlow said he was injured during his first title teign, so they had to involve Mark Sterling, security guards, ATT, etc. to cover up for that.

they will keep ignoring this just like they ignore his geek voice and lack of charisma. Hobbs is not a great talker either but has charisma and an actual big man moveset. Wardlow has a finisher he can't actually hit on big guys so his fake Goldberg aura evaporated

Big Guys aren't allowed to get over, and stay over in GayEW. The only exception is Samoa Joe because Joe is bulletproof at this point in his career. Jobbing for Adam Cole, Darby, or being caught up in Wardlow's shit, none of it sticks to him.

Everyone else gets sabotaged by the manlets backstage. Keith Lee had one of the strongest debut's of anyone in the company. Then he just floundered around. Then he got a tag team, and soon as that started getting over they turned them heel and broke them up. Now he's back to floundering around. Miro has been MIA for a year. Big Bill amazingly is starting to get over despite a shitty start, but he'll get fucked too, probably more losses to OC and Danhausen. Archer has been benched forever too, but the only thing he does is Job for little pussies at the PPV anyway.

There is a very clear and evident conspiracy against Big Guys in AEW. Prove me wrong.

Nobody gave a shit about Swerve in our Glory until they started working heel in Acclaimed matches. Smarks demanded Swerve get a singles push. Go figure.

He was unironically punished for being a charisma vaccuum and losing his title and ring gear.

By what? Powerbombing MJF?
Here's what I would have done
>Lance Archer and Jake Roberts come out
>Insult Wardlow and his significant other
>Beat Wardlow via cheating
>Beat down after the match
Then you spend the next several months having Archer kill popular undercarders until Wardlow comes back.
>Wardlow challenges for his title
>The most over undercarder (Danhausen, I guess) takes out Jake Roberts to prevent the cheating
>Wardlow powerbombs Lance Archer

Booking yeah sure, but people also need to accept that he just isn’t very good.

He can’t promo, he can’t wrestle and okay he’s muscular but he’s not any taller than anyone else on the roster.

He's not good at promos or wrestling and got over because henchmen turning on heel boss always gets over. He's just a less crazy Alex Riley.
