Paid Members Carbomb Posted November 2, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2023 Good work, man. It's a shame we're unlikely to hear "God Save The King" ever again, now that Aldis is working for WWE; that was a superb track. Great to see more of your stuff getting out there!

They've got loads of great homegrown talent that the fans actually want to see. No one wants to watch any of these old twats (except the people's fave Jeff Jarrett of course). This is a weird problem that they have created. Big Show, Jericho, the Hardyz etc are not going to bring in any new viewers but an exciting fresh new up and coming talent will.

This is a weird problem that they have created. Big Show, Jericho, the Hardyz etc are not going to bring in any new viewers but an exciting fresh new up and coming talent will. it's completely a problem of their own making. I'm usually a big fan of old lads on wrestling shows, but it's about how you use them. Doing this angle with Paul Wight while also doing the stuff with Edge and Christian feels like an overreliance on '90s/'00s WWF names, and it's hard not to see it any other way. Whereas Jericho, for all his faults, feels like "an AEW guy" in that he's been there from the beginning, and has changed up enough of his presentation to feel like distinct from his WWF self, and Sting is an older wrestler, but one who never got a fair shake in WWE, and wasn't over-exposed there the way a lot of "legends" who get trotted out every month did. It's frustrating - AEW by and large have a young roster; by way of comparison, MJF (27) is younger than every male wrestler who competed on RAW this week with the exception of Dominic Mysterio (26) and Brutus Creed (27, a couple of months younger). Of wrestlers who appeared on Dynamite, Hangman and Powerhouse Hobbs are 32, the Gunns are 29 and 32, Darby Allin is 30, Swerve is 33, Jay White is 31, Hook is 24, Takeshita 28, Kyle Fletcher 24, Nick Wayne is 18, and so on. Then there are wrestlers like Orange Cassidy who's close to 40, but not over-exposed by years of WWE TV, so still feels relatively fresh and "young" in TV terms. But so much of the focus of the show isn't on their 27 year old World Champion, who spends half of his time doing sub-WWE midcard comedy, but on guys in their 40s and 50s who in some cases feel even older because of how much TV exposure they've had. Christian Cage is doing the best work of his career, but once upon a time he was doing that work to elevate the likes of Darby Allin and Jack Perry, whereas now Nick Wayne's taking his bumps for him while he feuds with a 50 year old and a 64 year old, and last week was cutting promos on a 74 year old. There's a place for Jericho and Paul Wight. Jericho is frustrating, but he can be capable of important moments and uplifting other talent, he just often seems to choose not to. I don't even really object to Paul Wight doing some limited spots in the kind of wild clusterfuck brawl that AEW was great at - and, at the time he signed, I think Paul Wight seemed like a real mission statement signing, as one of the first WWE "lifers" to jump ship - but it's the optics of doing that on the same show that they're already spotlighting a fair few older ex-WWE TV names, and that younger and more homegrown talent are getting punked out. It's not a great look that Nick Wayne and Kyle Fletcher, as young heel prospects, were both reduced to taking bumps for the old boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is slightly mind-blowing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
