Which AEW signings were mistakes?

[Hannibal Scorch]

People who say names like Colt Cabana I don’t think realise that they have backstage jobs in the company. Leva Bates, Daniels and Kazarian, Dr Luther are just a few of those who also have corporate roles. So that’s the main reason they are hired by AEW.

Also personally not liking someone doesn't mean it was a mistake. Danhausen is a perfect example of who you might not like but it makes utter sense to sign

Jack Evans. Possibly Angelico too. Nothing takes me out of wrestling more than Jack Evans

 

Twitter Tone was listening clearly, Evans is gone.

Mercedes Martinez is a good shout. I just don’t get it. She’s sporadically bounced between AEW and NXT for what feels like years now, and all she ever seems to have going for her is that she’s a veteran who’s been doing it for ages. So what. She’s rubbish. The closest thing she’s had to a memorable match is when everything fell apart when she wrestled Thunder Rosa. Other than that she’s been mostly worthless.

Add Impact into that as well and the only thing I remember is her getting knocked out cold by Xia Li.

Vickie Guerrero, on screen she's offered absolutely nothing positive and if anything has dragged Nyla Rose down a few pegs.

There were times when she was a superb bitchy heel in WWE but in AEW? Dog turd.

The Vickie/Nyla pairing still baffles me.

Nyla clearly does not need someone to do the talking for her or an interference runner for cheap heat.

And even if she did there are better options out there. Smart Mark Sterling for example. 

Didn't they tease a split between Vickie and Nyla a good while back? 

[Merzbow]

Yeah, seems like ages ago now but they quickly did a U-turn on the deal.

I think Vickie could be a decent cougar type for Andrade, not just because he's Mexican like but she'd be a good English speaker for him to bounce off.

That reminds me, what was the point of bringing Chavo in for a cuppa?
