Maybe it’s just cuz I’ve met him a few times and heard nothing but good things from my buddy about him but I don’t even see this as him really trashing AEW much at all. Just a few gripes and most people have when they move on. I agree he’s not ever gonna be a main roster top guy but a good hand for a whole isn’t a bad gig
Oh I def don't see the few lines as trashing either. Not everyone is gonna thrive in the aew environment n vice versa. Also think he was done in aew n time to go.

I do find the "omg someone that cares about me" lines are kind of funny cuz I feel like everyone says that when they switch companies lol

The chaotic and unorganized thing isn’t a new revelation anyway. Didn’t Mox even elude to that recently or was that a fever dream?
It’s been mentioned a few times.

Just gets swept under the rug or treated like it’s just ex employees bad mouthing the company

Lmao you gotta fix your Twitter timeline if you think this is only AEW but you seem to have made up your mind they're the worst fans who only do it. When Vince was in charge and everyone shit on WWE when they left it was also written off as "just being bitter they weren't pushed" and actually people are doing that to Dijak rn as we speak.

But aside from that annoying labeling that you can't help nowadays, and despite the multiple topics I make when people call out AEW's organization, I will try not to sweep it under the rug this time and agree that it's been an issue.

Everyone says they can't get a hold of Tony like they could year 1, only the producers and then theres a disconnect in communication from there. I don't think everyone needs direct meetings with Tony but they should have a clear line or communication to know that their pitches are being heard and I don't think that exists at all at the moment.

People were saying Dijak leaked to Fightful and got released for that bc he had to audacity to say he wasn't happy when he got drafted and only got booked for one Main Event match before his contract ran out lol I wasn't even gonna post this when I saw it days ago bc I try and avoid giving idiot fans attention when no one here is doing it but it seems some only think it goes one way

Well he basically said he needs n wants the guidance n structure. U gotta pitch stuff in aew a lot more. N I'm referring to his own creative being shit cuz this is the guy who thought fighting himself as karate man was a good idea
It's more that he thought the Page vs. Karate Man thing should have put him over somehow. He basically wanted it to be an advertisement for him so he'd be hotter in AEW
