Frankly I don’t even really care about Miro anymore because almost everything he’s done since returning for Collision seems mid. Only thing he’s really done that’s been any good was the PPV match vs. Hobbs. Seems like a guy that doesn’t want to be there despite signing an extension.

They really missed the boat on having a Hoss tag team with Hobbs and Miro that could have been a breath of fresh air for the tag division.

That’s on TK. There’s been way too many MFs doing nothing but mid stuff the past few years.
It’s not even the creative, Miro just hasn’t been putting in much of an effort. There’s no excuse to be slacking off no matter what the creative is.

Slacking how though? He’s been cutting the same meaningless promos about his “God” for years whenever he actually is on tv which no one ever knows when it will be.

Then his storylines get dropped/butchered to all hell. Like that feud he had with the House of Black. We never even got him in a singles match with any of them let alone a big ppv match with Malakai.

There’s nothing exciting right now

I know a lot of people gonna laugh but the fact that Jungle Boy has been off AEW TV since August while Punk was back on WWE TV turning up is completely ridiculous


I think he really asked for his release though. If he is still under contract then yeah just more stupid ass contract decisions from TK

Like Samoa Joe just won the top title and I know they’re building to the 3 way with Hangman and Swerve

But why the fukk are none of the real top guys coming at him like Bryan, Edge, or Mox or even talking about the belt. They’ve done it before so they know how to do meaningful segments and they still have the talent to do so

The crowd would lose their fukking minds if Miro interrupted Joe or Christian and challenged them to a title match.

Or if Joe was in the ring cutting a promo and the lights went out then cane back on with Malakai standing behind him.


Legit be forgetting Jay White even on the roster a lot of the time with the BS he been doing since coming in :francis:

This should have been on AEW TV. MF love having Komander on tv so much put him in this spot or Sami, Darby, etc. and build up the match.




I don’t want to see Jack Perry in the main event or coming out to that stupid ass bethoven music but the lil shythead is a really good midcard heel for how young he is

Snowman needs to hand over the book but we know that will never happen. So expect more of the same with a new rotation of shiny toys until he kills their initial hype and they began having meaningless matches with under RoH talent. Snowman got to book them out of this low attendance hell with cohesive episodic angles with the next ppv months away. He hasn't shown he can do this in 5 years. It's an uphill battle to say the least.

1. Book for American audiences. This isn't Japan or Mexico; leave the "trios" (we say Six Man over here), forehead touching "fighting spirit", senpais, & young boys over seas. We don't do that stuff here.
2. Give us good stories, and stop dropping them. What happened to Lana's management agency?
Where's the Book Of Hobbs?
What happened between Jade Cargill & Bow Wow? Tony Khan needs to remember that good stories have an opening, a build, and an ending.
3. Give us shorter matches. I know some people want long, drawn-out "bangers", but we really don't need 20 minute Jericho matches when that match time could be shortened for Hobbs, Starks, Willow, STP, or the other good wrestlers who don't get enough tv time. Speaking of that...
4. Let some other guys have a chance. We've seen enough of Moxley, Jericho, Don Callis, and those same old guys. If you've seen those guys once, you've seen them a million times. It's boring. Tony has a huge roster that's wasting away in catering. Put some fresh faces on tv.
5. Tony needs to pass the book. Tony Khan takes the Tyler Perry approach and tries to do all of the booking himself. Just like Tyler Perry, the end results are hit-or-miss. When CM Punk headed Collision, the show was good to great. With Tony in charge, Collision is another 2 hours of Dynamite. That's not a good thing.
6. ENOUGH WITH FEUDS OVER FRIENDSHIP!!!

His effort isn’t there when he’s on TV. It’s just not. Other it’s the same damn promo every single time or just having mostly mid matches. That’s all on him.
