But even there, he's already proven he can't even "book around" the action. There is zero action. "I have X talent now, and they can have a match against Y and Z and possibly W... for the next three weeks! Dream match!" Even if that talent having matches against those other three names could have been potentially stretched over the next six months and getting folks to at least tangentially care about the lead up to them finally having said match.

For example, Ricochet vs Bandito could have potentially been a blockbuster match for AEW. And I'm writing it off already. Why? Because not only do I know Tony is going to blow that load as soon as he can possibly get them in the same ring... And not only do I think the match will be set up ASAP to pop a number for Rampage or Collision instead of headlining a future PPV (and I don't mean the very next PPV)... I already know he already treated Ricochet the same way, so he doesn't mean as much as he did when he came in.

So, with all that "math", I know they're both just going to be another flippy guy on a roster full of them by next March because Tony doesn't have the impulse control to play the longer game. And, in that same stretch, he's going to come up with another dumbass gimmick to push on par with The Librarians, Orange Cassidy, that pizza guy, and Hologram.
