Yeah pretty much all of these people are "spinning wheels" by this point in various stages. Especially Hook.

Hook is admittedly still green but I can't see how he's never going to stop being green if they don't ween him off of one-sided, heavily choreographed matches. Booking-wise it seems AEW are very scared that fans will stop caring about him the second he loses a match. And so he's still on squash duty.

I think they're in a similar boat with Jade. Her win streak is really tarnished when you consider how it's booked. Her only fully easy wins are against non-contract Dark talent. Her first loss is probably still be saved for Kris Stat but again, does it even matter if Jade's consistently shown she needs interference to beat anyone remotely important?

They took a good guiding principle with the "wins and losses matter" stuff and then ended up at a very weird destination with it where they've booked themselves into a corner with undefeated streaks.
