My thoughts:
- I love AEW, but their booking over the last two years has been frustratingly piecemeal - like they're winging it week to week. WWE's booking is much stronger (especially under Trips); they book wayyyyy longer storylines and seem to have an agenda that fits into the bigger picture with each angle. AEW just seems to... throw our randomness and hope the audience plays along.
- I frickin' hate the Bucks. They're leaning into this EVP angle because they know it'll bring them heat, but holy man are they ever overexposed. They're like annoying hyenas, and not in a good way. Any why were they wrestling Daniels and Sydal, two wrestlers who all of a sudden they have beef with, and two wrestlers who haven't been on TV in ages? Why does Tony Khan think we're all of a sudden invested in Christopher Daniels, who is just enhancement talent at this point?
- Jericho's Learning Tree is growing on me. He's overexposed like the Bucks and should think about retiring, but he's able to constantly transform himself, I'll give him that. Hopefully he takes Big Bill to a new level.
- Why is Brian Cage being constantly shoved down our throats every week? Dude is constantly losing, isn't there anyone else AEW can give that much TV time to?
- Okada is being used terribly. He's getting wins, but aligning him with the hyenas doesn't do it for me.
- AEW needs to build Hook better. He's got a ton of potential and I'm not sure he's being properly used.
- I like the Shibata thing with the Google Translate! His character is really developing into a fun angle. His match with Jericho last week was awesome.
- Toni Storm continues to be must-watch TV.
- Willow Nightengale is a star in the making.
- House of Black needs to be pushed more; such a collection of talent, they could be as big as Judgement Day if they're booked properly.
- Nice to see Darby back!
- And I've said it before and I'll say it again... there's simply too many belts. Reduce the number of belts and do away any cross-promotion with ROH please.
