General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

[Comrade Khan]

TK - needs to put his foot down and follow through and some stories (Elite story is a mess rn) and needs to book collision to matter more. Hunter needs to stop making every show about a heel faction who dominates (also less women stories revolving around boyfriends). tag team needs to be better on both shows, agreed

 

[Comrade Khan]

fix roh

 

[Comrade Khan]

and ya, hunter needs less predictability, i think thats a fair criticism

 

[Comrade Khan]

too many long back to back title reigns gets stale

 

[Rosie]

Predictability isn't a bad thing as long as the journey is there. I think it is just yeah, too many long runs, but also I think, while the PEAKS of those story are excellent and make people forget about the "slow" periods. The slow periods are... a bit rough. Not everything needs to be car-crash insanity, but it'd be nice to see, for example, while the Bloodline was waiting for Roman to come back, have a story in the middle where they mixed it up with people other than Randy, KO, and Cody

yeah just needs a bit better balance. same with aew.

 

[Comrade Khan]

none of the main shows are bad right now, hell id say esp raw and dynamite seem to be very well liked by their respective fan bases

 

[Comrade Khan]

id even throw NXT in there

Yeah, in ring wise it has a hard time touching the golden era, but they've almost got the 2.0 stink off for me.

 

[Comrade Khan]

if AEW was gonna take anything from wwe, its not the formatting or the style or the promos. it's the long term vision for certain stories. id say wwe has been very good at sticking to their stories they have planned and make everything make sense and (mostly) paces logically

 

[Comrade Khan]

that one segment id like to see improvement on. I think ppl like Peppers with Mercedes is the right kind of hires for that

 

[Comrade Khan]

its just such a big company now and they need more stuff liek that in place. im thinking with the 10+ ppvs now solidified, a new tv deal. theres less things out of their control. so they have less excuses. esp if they can get off weekends with collision, so that they can have more of the roster available. i have a theory that a lot of the guys when they signed it was for wednesday shows so a lot of them might not wanna work saturdays and contract structure might be ojn their side

 

[Comrade Khan]

i have no proof of this btw, just a personal theory

 

[Comrade Khan]

like i feel a lot of the wrestlers they got who have kids prob want their weekends

 

[Rosie]

I think that's AEW's biggest need right now, structure. They should not be so rigid that they do not have any room for change, but a room of people who work on the general structure. Each person gets a few storylines to guide at a time, work with the wrestlers involved. And a couple people who are mainly responsible for communicating with the roster and if people have ideas to hear them, get them down, and work with the team to see if/where it fits.
