Jon Moxley claims frustration/confusion among some talent is due to the lack of a clear path up the card. Says he overheard someone backstage in AEW say, ‘It’s just the bottom of the card, it doesn’t matter’—and believes that attitude needs to go:
“There will be a lot of stuff that won't be a part of this AEW.
For example, earlier in the year, I was having a conversation, or was around the conversation, earlier in the year I heard a backstage type person talking about interviews or pre-tapes or something. It was a situation where talents were not put in a position to succeed due to lack of preparation, framework, direction, and things like that. This individual said, 'Well, it's bottom of the card, it doesn't matter.'
Can you imagine saying that? You're fukking fired. Go work at Sunglass Hut. You should be fukking pistol whipped for saying that.
For one, everybody that is on the top of the card was at one time on the bottom of the card. That's how it works. You climb the ladder. You see this frustration or confusion from some of these talents because there's no fukking ladder. They don't know what to do. They are just wandering in the desert.
We're going to grab them and we're going to walk them."

Translation: Mox is setting himself up to be the new CM Punk and will be gone within 12 months
Ugh, hopefully not back to WWE
So is this just gonna be like Hitler at the Nurenberg rally but with empty seats?

Mox ain't leaving. TK finds ways to keep making him the main champ. He'll never get that in the E.

Isn’t there a Dave Meltzer stinks thread?

Dave finally got a mainstream promoter to accept him and they got so buddy buddy that it's killing whatever credibility Dave had left
Khanman W as far as I'm concerned

Tony Khan essentially ruins everything he touches. He’ll be on the wrong side of history as far as contributing to the businessDave finally got a mainstream promoter to accept him and they got so buddy buddy that it's killing whatever credibility Dave had left

that's what makes the people on here who get on their knees for him so funny, it's like they totally ignore that the Jags fans and Fulham fans totally hate the guy. The Jags might end up with ANOTHER #1 pick this year and yet you'll have dunces brag about how he's actually a billionaire on his own right

A dude tried to sell me some Jags memorabilia the other day. I told him what I’m supposed to do with that?
I like to dunk on Tony but if he continues to provide a place where wrasslers can go and make a really nice living outside of the WWE (and push the cut for those that stay in the WWE), then I still see that competition as a net positive. I'm just a labor first kinda guy.
And luckily even with the ratings dropping and more people becoming aware that a lot of that style is trash, he can keep his human action figure company going and ensure that people are paid more fairly in the US.
AEW is the perfect second company for me. Pays the talent while having a product I mostly get to ignore (WWE already is taking too much of my time).

To me, my board!
I wish more people saw the bigger picture like this.

I don’t think people dislike the concept of AEW or a second televised brand, the issues are more with:
Tony Khan
ass kissing wrestlers like FTR
booking for the “sickos”
Overly defensive/delusional fans
People got at TNA years ago for their issues, now you don’t really see anybody badmouthing TNA (except AEW stans recently) because they ironed out some of their problems plus TNA fans don’t get out of pocket or pretend it’s something it’s not
