I think his biggest problem is that he was never a Triple H guy and he didn't get established enough under Vince to force Triple H to accept him as a "cost of doing business."
He would have been another Curtis axel - even pushed into main event the fans would have rejected it

Theory could f up a wet dream - he was primed to be a star and now is just a jobber
He's not authentic. Against Cena, it felt like he was play-acting the young cocky heel role. Waller had to take a step down but he's coming off as real now and that may help him in the long run. Other problem with Theory is he looks like the frat boy son of a tennis star with a name like Connor. He looks like he should be in a college version of Cobra Kai.

Some guy named Ian Fidance has a YouTube series where he goes and does jobs for a day. His most recent episode was with AEW where he worked with the ring crew, the props crew, the production trucks, and wardrobe. Apparently there will be a part 2.

Some interesting tidbits. The only thing they do to modify the prop tables are to remove the plastic rim on the outside edge of the table. It's real barbed wire and don't dull the barbed wire. The kendo sticks actually come wrapped in string to compress them, but they remove the string because it sounds better on TV but actually hurts more.

Nigel is going to have his ROH retirement match on Friday vs. Lee Moriarity then his career retirement match in Wembley just like I speculated, isn’t he?

Answering to the people (sickos) is what TK does - it’s pretty straightforward but that’s why Heyman is a genius.
Eh could just as easy be a shot at the IWC in general, which they have been more than willing to take shots at over the years even before AEW existed. As we all know the folks at WWE don't like even the slightest bit of criticism.

Welp Heyman is a genius that’s why he is who he is.

Interesting dilemma - Dustin brings nothing nowadays so should be an easy release but TK just benches people like Britt baker

This guy makes Jacob Fatu looks like a brain surgeon. With about a tenth of Jacob's charisma from the little bit I have seen of Zilla.
Has 1/10th of the talent in the ring as well and I might be giving him too much credit there.

He might be the penultimate nepo baby in wrestling.

Also, he’s a Temu blend of The Rock and Ricky Starks. Which is kind of sad because Ricky Starks is a Temu Rock. So what’s a Temu of a Temu?

Depending on how long this visitation for my grandfather lasts this evening, this might be the first time I’m not able to watch Dynamite live for the first time before CM Punk returned. I had watched AEW before then but stopped at some point.
