To me it gets wasted when it’s not used in actual big matches.

For something like last week for the Thunder Rosa vs Britt Baker fued I’m all for the big spots and payoff to what was a year long story in the end. (Although I’d argue AEW is leveraging the old blade a little excessively) Giving that match away for free on Dynamite, and having the big spots was great.

But I don’t think having Jeff Hardy jump off the building in a random 8 man tag match with little to no build on a random dynamite card is worth it. To me that’s where it’s just a big spot for the sake of having a big spot, and where it actually takes away from those types of spots in the future.

It takes a toll on these athletes bodies too, save it for the big spots. Jeff Hardy is on the record saying he wanted to use the Swanton less to help the toll it’s taken on his lower back and body. No reason to have him out here doing it from 12 feet up in a random mean nothing match.
