Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on. During the pandemic, I thought AEW did much better with their long-term booking. Now it just seems like TK is in a rush to book "dream" matches instead of building a coherent angle.
MJF reportedly books most of his own stuff, and the dude clearly has a great mind for the business, but there really aren't any compelling storylines beyond whatever he's doing.
They've also made some really braindead business decisions. Putting Collision on Saturdays was already questionable with it having to go head-to-head with college football. And then, to make matters worse, we've had multiple PPVs booked within weeks of each other, only one of which had any compelling reason to watch. Wrestledream was perhaps the most boneheaded decision of them all, as it was rushed, had minimal star power, and went head-to-head with the NFL in an NFL city.
