Lance Archer absolutely needs to win this tournament. He won't be dead in the water if he doesn't but he'll be incredibly deflated.

You don't spend this much time and effort setting up your vicious monster heel only to have him lose a mid card belt tournament to a roll up, that's some fed poo poo.

Kenny could have dragged a good main event kicking and screaming out of Jake Hager, I'm sure of it.

Lenny Ogamer is maybe my favorite wrestler in the world. I hope they'll slot him into the main event eventually but I'm enjoying the Cowboy Bebop ride thoroughly. One has to imagine that he can be the world champion the moment he wants to be, so I'm fine with whatever he wants to do with his career going forward.

I think the major disagreement here is conflating "this content doesn't please me" for "this is bad content objectively, people don't want to watch this, anyone defending this is a sycophant". There's absolutely nothing wrong with saying the former, the conflict were all having is that you framed your argument as the latter.

Like if you voiced an anti-Jimmy Jacobs argument and everyone jumped down your throat you'd have legs to stand on, but recognize that your take is an especially hot one.

Can I ask why? I don't think my opinion is objective fact.

If i were to attempt to speak for the majority, I think a lot of people's problems stem from these two points:

Not everybody follows New Japan and the indies. AEW often assumes everybody does, to its own detriment. One need only look at SCU to see a perfect example of this.

I gotta' tell ya', folks, it's borderline frightening how much people need to defend everything AEW does. I loving love the company and the show. In a big bad way. I look forward to Tuesdays and Wednesdays so much it's kind of gross. I'm allowed to not like a thing about a thing I love.

1.) the first paragraph is framing your personal opinion ("I find it frustrating that AEW assumes everyone has followed all of the people's careers") as an objective fact ("AEW assuming everyone has followed the careers of these wrestlers is a bad business strategy, it has hurt them as a company"). People are disagreeing (varying degrees of) respectfully but firmly.

2.) the second paragraph has a very obvious aggressive tone, framing others' disagreement as being them simply not being able to admit their home team has flaws. You have to admit that it's to some degree instigate-y.

Dang, I watched last drive in for the first time last night and really liked it. I thought Joe Bob was just doing an off color Grandpa bit. I guess he's not! That sucks.

It sucks because that was an all timer episode last night.

There are much larger grievances in the world of wrestling, even in the world of AEW, than the dumb Luchasaurus bit that he hasn't done in months.
