    feels like those weren't probably the initial bookings. On the other hand, I do kind of like the wildcard element without it having to be someone who is coming in to win all the time

    Did they overhype them or did we overhype them? In retrospect, we should’ve tempered expectations when we saw they were paired up with Samoa Joe and Britt Baker. Those two weren’t losing. And Claudio/Gargano/LeRae/Athena probably won’t be losing for a while when they debut.

    John Morrison is a bigger name than any of those guys

    they overhyped them. they've been talking about them (especially on the women's side) for weeks.

    I would argue on how much Johnny Elite moves the needle vs Cesaro/Gargano. He's played out, and has been everywhere. So him showing up in a new company with (insert company name as his last name here) didn't really do much. Dynamite missed on a lot of things last night. Deeb never needs a mic again. That segment never needed to happen, and especially with that much time devoted to it. I'm really hoping WWE shit can Sasha/Naomi. They'd be the secret ingredient the women's division needs if they ended up in AEW. Sydal/Martin didn't need to talk. The Hardys do nothing for me. They haven't evolved in 15 years and there are a ton of younger guys pushing the limit further than they ever did. The tag division would be better without them in it. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Hangman's title run is a bust and we need the Summer of Punk in the worst way. Winning the title and turning heel has to happen.

    I like Morrison. Always have. He's a good worker. Has name recognition, Not a ticket/merch pusher, though I don't care about either of those. , but since he wasn't announced as All Elite, looks like it's just a one-time appearance or some sort of forbidden door short term deal.

    I'd disagree with others who have said the jokers were overhyped. There was barely any hype over them on TV, relative to AEW standards. It's not AEW's fault if you hyped it up to yourself.
    Agreed. She is awful. Give her a manager or something. Originally I wanted her in BCC because she fits perfectly with just the in-ring work, but after her last two promos, I don't want her anywhere near that unless Regal is going to do all the talking for her.
    I won't admit to knowing anything about Naomi, Sasha Banks would be a fantastic addition though.
    I don't know why Martin is with Sydal again. He's better than that guy at this point. Maybe WWE can bring in Bivens and pair Martin with him. There's got to be something better they can do with Martin now than put him with Sydal.
    I didn't mind the Hardy's when it first happened, but they are leaning on them way too much right now.
    Bust in what way? I've mostly loved the matches he has had.
    I'd agree. Heel punk is going to be GOAT material in AEW.

    AEW has some great womens workers who can’t give a believable promo. Like seriously hire some acting coaches because Deeb and statlander are fucking incredible in the ring

    I think one big problem right now is the two women's champs are holding the wrong belts.

    The TBS title is the workhorse/wrestling title. The World Champ title is the story-driven title better suited to the more complete, well-rounded performer. The TBS title should be on Thunder Rosa because she's a pure wrestler and got over on her ring work not her character or promos. The World Title should be on Jade Cargill because she's good enough in the ring to work with anyone and has character and promo skills in spades. I suppose it's because Jade has improved so much so quickly, but still it has created a weird vibe around both titles.

    Is Sasha leaves WWE, she is Hollywood bound. She may not make it huge, but she has enough money saved up to try. She isn't going to go backwards to AEW when she is getting roles in Hollywood.
    I do not give a single shit about John Morrison.
    Yes on Cesaro.
    No on Gargano.
    Hangman has been the most boring champion AEW has had by a long shot. He really hasn't had one single storyline feud since he won it. The Punk stuff has been good but thats more on Punk than himself. I was infuriated when he no sold the top rope lariat last night and just popped up. Talk about killing a new guys momentum.
    Hardys need to go. It's been over for years for them. Time to move on.
