this week was a lot better than it's been
he might have disbanded whatever group had been formed over the last couple weeks to run the show
rumor is the bucks were pretty involved with it (outside of the ring they're very vincepilled in general)

When you look at bookers historically they they’re not meant to stick around for long. Even when wrestling angles were rare, and tv shows were mostly squash matches and interviews bookers could be switched out every year.
And in more modern times that last booker who didn’t just buy their way into booker was probably Gabe and he had maybe 4 good years of ideas in roh where they were at most running 3 shows a month.
Bottom line, tk never paid his dues and bit off more than actual goat bookers like Watts and Dundee could chew. Too many shows, been at it too long, and all in the over written sports entertainment style.

He lost what was left of his mind in the summer of '21, when WWE was dogshit, AEW was gaining momentum, and Punk and Danielson were about to come in. He has never recovered and will never recover from that.

now when you look back at that time or those debuts, it's clear that the CM Punk debut and his whole presentation in the upcoming weeks even months was Tony's biggest fuck up with all that momentum shit could have gotten really close to challenging RAW or maybe it would have been the same result, but CM Punk's booking was such a missed opportunity to change the game for at least some short time

He was never really a good booker. He would just throw money around to aquire talent that already had a name and loaded up ppv cards with good matches. MJF being kind of a box office disappointment is proof of this, as he's really the only homegrown star they have. Some people might argue for adam page, but he was already a pretty major figure on the bte show for years before AEW was a thing.

He shouldn't have at all, every fucking week is some surprise run in by someone new or hasn't been seen in a while. There was just Jay White who wasn't on the show, there was Jeff Hardy like 2 weeks ago and he's already unaccounted for. Leave the motherfucker at home and stop signing people

this unironically is the worst thing that could ever happen, because the people he worships Meltz and co. are rarely if ever pointing at all of his weaknesses as booker, and then him winning every fucking year those meaningless promoter&booker awards only makes him think how he's this fucking genius who can do no wrong, this was the closest ever since WCW for someone to become kinda a competitor to WWE and Tony fucked it all up that's why I hope he burns in hell

AEW's booking used to be a lot better than it is now. Remember when Orange Cassidy was just an underdog comedy guy getting his ass brutally beaten and now he's a title holder with a superman push going over guys literally twice is size? Yeah.

tiny tony has never been a good booker, all the half-good angles were either handled by the talent themselves or continuations of themes and narratives set in place by njpw
tony's actual shit is fucking terrible, he's a clueless retard that can only focus on one thing at a time

This guy gets it.
Booking is mostly an idea position and most people don't have good ideas for more than a few years tops.
His sides basically began with Jericho and ended at Hangman beating Kenny and it's been shit idea after shit idea after shit idea ever since.

Small comedy acts like OC and guys smaller than the Japanese juniors seem to be pushed too. Guess he identifies with them or something
