I mean, it's the nature of the business. Jim Ross always said wrestlers can have 2 main problems "cash or creative"

Always be wrestlers past/present not satisfied with how they are used but having said that AEW does have too big of a roster.

shut up Miro

Lol I know you're joking but this can't be him bc he doesn't even show up to work I think :slip:

I can see the lower card guys being annoyed not knowing who or what kind of match their working on the day of, or even whether they're doing ROH or Rampage or whatever. I don't think there's a ton of people showing up and not being used which this doesn't really even imply but I think the aggregation has been giving vibes that's the case.

But most all of the Dynamite and Collision cards are announced at least a day in advance, maybe more Dynamite matches day of lately, but the top talent always knows what they're doing

Yeah I imagine it's some low cards shmucks who sometimes get their matches cut or randomized. N others who are unhappy with their placement. Happens in every company. I highly doubt it's a high number of folks n the build to the ppv has ruled so I don't buy the no long booking thing at all lol Dave's being weird about it for clicks b4 a ppv again

Come on Jeff, we all know AEW is the worst company someone could work for in the wrestling business. No need to make shit up.

I mean, I said in the OP, that it always comes out before the PPV, which is me saying I don’t buy any of it.

This was an Alvarez Observer live rant, usually worse lol

As an outside party, I'd only really care if talent are being flown in and not used, especially if they would have done indies instead for Collision for example. Shitty even if they're getting paid if they don't think they're likely to get a renewal and aren't getting any exposure out of the deal, but again, seems like everyone is at least stuck on ROH even when plans change

yeah imagine a guy gets flown in for Collision, which means he can't take indie dates for the whole weekend. Then when he gets there he finds out he's sitting in catering. I'd be pissed too. Then imagine if it happens a bunch. Lord knows you're getting quiet cut (not renew the contract).


Saturday Collision is probably the worst thing for AEW. If they're gonna allow their talent to perform on the indies they shouldn't prevent them from doing so without having them wrestle. Move Collision to another day. Hell even if you put it Sunday these guys can at least take a booking for Friday night.
