I believe Sonny Kiss is very powerful Rex.

The drop in viewers is TK's fault and his fault only. Three years ago his inexpedience as booker could be forgiven. He had no idea what he was doing as a booker, no knowledge of how to block it TV program and no knack for recognizing talent. But he hasn't learned.

The cold truth is that, three years in, he should have accidentally learned some rudiments of running a wrestling company. The fact that he hasn't shows that he has no willingness to learn. And since he will never hire a legitimate booker, his company will continue to falter until it finally collapses. And that's a shame.
 
I think Tony has been great at heating up guys, but then not having a story for them once they’ve gotten to that next level:

Hangman - good storyarc in his chase vs Omega. Hurt by the timing of his wife’s pregnancy, but still comes back to win. But once that story was over, everything else after was anti-climatic in his title reign.

Malachi Black- he had a perfect presentation when he debuted. Looked like a bad ass with his kicks. But then Cody has to beat him and end his undefeated streak, cools him way off, then I think his act got way worse by putting him into a faction and basically making him a magic act with the mist. This was just bad booking and bad ideas. He never needed a faction or magic.

Wardlow- his storyline with MJF was perfect. Then he’s on his own. They give him the TNT title. Fine. Just give him the Goldberg push and keep feeding him dudes. Instead, they get him entangled with Mark Sterling, then Ring of Honor guys. Just pointless.

FTR- was super over. How are they not headlining the PPV vs The Bucks? That’s the match people wanted to see. Instead, they are cooled off.

I think Tony has also misused Bryan Danielson. People want to see him one on one and WIN. Not part of factions, and not doing so many jobs. The guy is one of the best wrestlers in the world. Treat him like a star attraction. Not as part of a group. Even though I like BCC, Moxley and Danielson are way too big of stars to ever need to be in a group again.

Going forward, I hope Tony cuts down on the faction wrestling. Get more one on one feuds. Hopefully sign Ospreay, Takeshita, Jay White full time. Get back to why there was a demand for AEW in the first place. People wanted great matches, unscripted promos, and more edgier content. Not ROH, Jeff Jarrett, Satnam Singh, the women and I include all of them bc they suck the most.

I think there’s still a strong foundation to have a good show: Omega, Danielson, Bucks, FTR, Wardlow, MJF, Moxley, Sammy, Darby, Miro, Jericho, Claudio, Samoa Joe, Starks, Hangman, Ethan Page. But there needs to be far more 1 v 1.
 
I think Cody leaving did a number on AEW morale. They haven't come close to recovering since and it's been one mistake after another for the past however many months. They lost their momentum. Haphazard storylines and signing every Tom, Dick and Harry - not to mention the ROH stuff. The MJF promo I'm seeing going around Twitter is just more alarm bells.

MJF's Dad: you hiding any cone-age between your legs?"

TK give that man his own faction.
 
That was the worst Dynamite since the first 6 months of AEW television. Cold main event segment (Moxley laid a rare egg), dead crowd, mediocre matches and dumbfounding booking. The show is flat out uninteresting. It feels like an early 1999 WCW show or a late 2002 WWE show, where you had all the stars but the booking and combinations just weren't right.

The only acts that are over anymore are MJF and The Acclaimed.

Full Gear needs to be used as a complete reset of the product, A LOT needs to change. Just give MJF the keys already and make him the face of the company. At least its new

Baker and Hayter need to go babyfaces already. Turn Storm and Saraya both heel. And its time for Baker vs. Cargill already. The longer you wait, the colder they are getting. They don't have the depth to prolong this with their women's division.

Kill the BCC/JAS feud. Its cold as ice and has run its course. The booking of Bryan Danielson has been criminally bad. Turn him heel and heat him up. Moxley goes on a 2-3 month vacation. Fuck the pushes of Yuta and Garcia already. They can have good matches and decent promos, but they've proven over and over again their segments are going to lead to a decline in tv ratings. And there's plenty of guys around that can have great matches.

Get ROH the hell off the television screen. Routinely, those segments cause decline in ratings. The introduction of all those new titles, devalued the AEW titles and without the Briscoes what value does that company bring by being brought up on a weekly basis. The goose is cooked with ROH. It was a bad investment.

They better hope The Elite bring it and The Elite want to stay in this company. I'm not letting go of Punk until they sign extensions.

Nailed it. 100% agree. Can't like this post enough.
 
TK is learning it is a bit tougher to run a wrestling promotion than he bargained for. He needs a real booker badly and to quit grabbing and pushing every new toy that comes along.

He's not running a wrestling promotion, he's doing an E-Fed with real people.

He's that spoiled brat from that shitty Richard Pryor movie The Toy.
