So I actually like AEW for the most part but I just feel like the last few months have been a downhill slide. I know the injury bug got them hard, but even so, the quality has been dropping hard imo. We keep having these special shows and gimmick matches and none of it feels like it matters. There aren't really any compelling storylines rn imo. Feel like even match quality has dropped a bit and they try to compensate with all these crazy gimmicks and blood in every match and it just comes off flat and overworked. They are taking too long to do anything with MJF and it's basically being ignored. Wardlow was on fire and I dunno if it's just me but it feels like he has already cooled off way too much. Just the whole product feels off compared to where it was a year ago.
And they really picked the worst time to shit the bed. Well maybe not shit, but def dutch ovened. Vince is gone and WWE is picking up steam and they've hardly even done anything yet. IF (and thats a big if) WWE keeps turning it around and improving...man I feel like AEW might fall off into loltna territory.
I dunno, just want them to get their shit together and be more fun like it was. Maybe their new 2 VPs of creative (Sonjay and QT) will be able to work some magic. Even putting other guys in creative and implying it won't all be TK is a good sign there imo. Dunno how good these 2 will be at the job but I'm interested to see where they take it. Honestly don't expect much before the next big PPV but I'm hoping they start picking up steam from there.
