It always feels weird to me when the discourse here come to "god I wish they would get rid of this person" because, outside of obviously Hager, id be very sad to lose almost anyone on the roster right now. Like every person fills a unique, fun role that I've come to love, especially the lower guys like my boy QT, Cutler, Avalon, the Beaver Boys, etc.

Carlito is a body guy now. He doesn't do the apple thing anymore.

Yeah, AEW is full of cool nerds that get to be fun, I don't want those cool people replaced with drones that have to relearn what wrestling is, even if you think they have a higher ceiling because they were in the bad company.

Besides if you automatically hire people that WWE fires, that will blow up in your face. ROH tried that numerous times, including with Matt Hardy.

Its better to let guys get out and get settled into whatever post-WWE is for them. Some of them will have some poo poo they need to get through before they can fully put their attention on wrestling again. Don't rush people just because you want to play wrestle dolls with them.

Carlito and Chris Masters have this thing where they go literally all over the world and work programs for international money marks. I think they picked up the reigns from Luke Gallows.

If they signed Heath to have him sell a lot, which he does well, I'd be all for it, but I don't think Heath as a credible upper midcard guy would really work. Have him stop in, get his rear end kicked by Lance, and let him go work the indies until he's ready to settle down.

Based on the strength of the TV shows, I'd say Tony Khan, while a complete and total coward, knows what he's doing.

On the one hand, this sounds amazing and I love it. On the other hand, it sounds like something NXT would do about an AEW guy and so I must hate it.

Such is the duality of pro wrestling.

Luther's recent interview with Justin Roberts made me like him. Yes his gimmick is stupid but honestly he's barely been on TV and has wrestled one match on the company Youtube show, y'all are complaining about him like he's beating up the Elite every week.

He's on the latest AEW podcast and yeah, he seems like he really knows what he's doing, but is also very open to listening to others and seeks out the advice of other people when he's not sure. He really credited Tony Shiavone for a lot of how well the pandemic tapings worked out.

Sometimes this thread acts like that one tweet about centrists saying "I'd like to see Trump wriggle out of THAT one!", except it's like "I'd like to see Tony Khan use THIS person properly! *tony khan effortlessly uses person in a proper way, they get over* Ah. Well, nevertheless..."

I am giving Japanese Deathmatch Legend Doctor Luther the benefit of the doubt until he gets an actual deathmatch. But I’d better see some light tubes or at least something on fire.
