I see Dynamite ratings are in the toilet (lowest in four years) yet again. In fairness, WWE ratings are also down, but they're not actively seeking a new television deal. Also the angle with The Bucks is failing miserably. I saw someone suggested that the angle should have been Okada alone turning mega heel. First he takes out Tony, then Omega. That would have worked better. No one likes Bucks/Perry. They are ruining the product with their go home heat. I can't see how anyone can disagree with that at this point.
Someone else mentioned how WWE turned a midcarder in New Japan (Tama Tonga) and now he's coming off as a main eventer. Meanwhile AEW took Okada and have relegated him into midcard duty with a secondary belt.
Take is also unhappy with how he's being used in AEW. One of their hottest stars, and Tony can't book him. “Its been a few weeks since I got to be on air and due to (the nature of) the live broadcast my match was cut. I was already waiting at the entrance gate with my gown on when I was told so. I carried all those frustrating emotions of that moment into that one match in Budokan. There was that feeling that I didn’t want to lose to them either.” Take was the shiny new Buzz Lightyear until Ospreay and Okada signed... now he's Woody. What a shame.
