I can agree with that. This PPV didn't leave me with a lot of confidence. I think it's great that Christian is there (I'm a huge fan and he was severely underrated during his career) but too many WWE guys are starting to show up. Hopefully they can just be personalities when needed to advance storylines and stay out of the way.
Personally I love when they "sign" some of their Dark talent, like Will Hobbs, Aaron Solow, and Sean Dean. I think these are the guys busting their asses for a break and they are organically grown as AEW-exclusive stars. I am hoping Dark: Elevation is going to really get those guys more screen time.
I like Tony Khan's passion for wrestling, but I think he needs to separate his fandom from his business to some extent. There's fun memes to interplay, and then there's the WCW/NWO problem of "too many guys". I will say their storylines aren't a problem though, they have their writing in the bag unlike WCW.
