I hope Sky gets to be featured more though he may be seen as a veteran like CD and Kaz where they may not win a title. I also hope that TH2 get more to do.

The old guys in AEW are all very clearly in the put over the next generation on your way out mode, so I don't see why them appearing is a problem. The only old guys who've appeared a lot for longer stretches of time are Jericho and Matt Hardy, and you'd be dumb not to utilize two of the biggest names you've got. Same with Sting, really.

Hardy and Jericho can also still go, too. Jericho less and less with every bottle of vodka, but still.

I think The Olds get just about the right amount of screen time. Maybe I'd turn it down a notch, but that's more a function of AEW's roster being bloated respective to how much TV time it gets per week.

It's actually kinda funny how Matt turned out to be the opposite of what everyone thought. He can still kinda go (more than I was lead to believe from the way people talked) but creatively he's been a bit of a dud. Though I do like his current character.

Didn't make you wanna see him enough to actually watch him apparently lol.

Made me add some YouTube videos of his to my random YouTube wrestling queue. You’re right that it wasn’t enough to make me watch impact. I won’t even watch that to see Kenny Omega though so that isn’t a knock on the wrestlers.

In 2021, I'd like to see a Cibernetico match happen. Especially with the Inner Circle.

Like, say, do Inner Circle vs. Dark Order. Last one standing gets a title shot. Inner Circle wins decisively (though Hangman gets to look good by eliminating a couple of them and being the last on his team) and we end up with Jericho vs. MJF vs. Sammy as the finals.

I'd love to see AEW work their current training system into a full dojo system. Mostly so we have trainees to clean up streamers and wrestlers can start getting streamers at shows. The best wrestling tradition.

Matt may have suffered the most from not having crowds at his debut.

I fully agree with his statements that Broken Matt needs a live crowd to be enjoying it. Having the occasional weird pronunciation echo off arena walls was kinda fatal. I think his current bit has legs though.

Definitely more into current Matt Hardy than I was the Broken Matt, although I completely missed the foundation of that character in Impact, etc. so it’s probably not for me.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I think Matt was mostly repeating himself with the Broken stuff. Whether it was that WWE period stalling out his momentum or no Jeff or just out of ideas he kind of just tied up some storytelling loose ends.

I'm not sure Matt is the brilliant reinventer some feel he is but I just don't care for teh V1 or Big Money stuff. But his strength is probably knowing he has to change it up and try something new. And physically at least he's not Jericho.

What's your stupid little wish for AEW in 2021? Not big stuff, just a dumb, tiny thing you wish would change. The more insignificant the better.

I wish Spears would stop having a mohawk in 2021. It looks bad and also crooked.

More longform events. By longform events I mean things in line with the New Japan leagues and tournaments. I could stand to see, for example, two months of Dynamite where two matches per week were part of a sixteen team Trios tournament, with the final at a pay per view.

Here's hoping for no basketball overtime, interested in TNT ratings on this one, my idea is they should just start with shaq and have inside the NBA (the best comedy show on TV) pitch to it.

The pandemic really hosed up everything that made broken Matt work. Good crowd work? Sorry, no crowds. Showing up in random promotions? nope, no one is open. Weird filmed matches with crazy cameos? Whoops, production on anything is harder. The new gimmick has legs and is a good way to roll with the damp squib that was his AEW debut.

For 2021 I want more non title feuds like Best Friends vs Santana & Ortiz and less non title feuds like the Shawn Spears stuff from this year. Building to a unique blow off in the main event of a Dynamite really elevated those two teams while the belts were tied up, but the Spears type feuds just seem to fizzle out without doing anything for anyone involved.

I've been wanting and waiting for this forever. They seem to draw a line between stables with Vicious Vixens being a thing with only women but it'd be great to see crossover. Why wouldn't Taz also want to have someone dominate the women's division?

That's been bugging me too. There's a tiny lady on the roster suplexing people left and right, how has Taz not adopted her into his family of beefcakes yet?
