Just like mid time of WCW. Not early WCW or towards the end of WCW but midway WCW (Explanation is for those that weren't born during the awesome time of wrestling and only know garbage and shouldn't ever have an opinion unless they can compare it to something that happened already but I know they can't cause they're to young which sucks cause they'll never know the real of good wrestling before Internet.). WCW had so many stables like: NWO (New World Order) Stable NWO RED LWO (Latino World Order) WCW (Yes that was also a stable against all those other stables.) Wayyyy to many stables.

Kind of crazy that some of these people were brought in for a debut and nothing else. It's like they thought the storylines would write themselves after all the debuts.
That's what happens when you have a head booker with the attention span of a goldfish who collects wrestlers like toys and forgets about them a couple weeks later or throws them in the ROH bin.
I think Danhausen could be just as funny as R-Truth if they let him cook and stop squashing him. The "curse" is a hilarious idea. Totally up to whoever he's working if they want to sell it or not, and Danhausen shrugging and saying "no curse" will ALWAYS get a laugh out of me. If he went to TNA, I'd actually start watching TNA.
About Sammy and Andrade, I wouldn't say Andrade had more of a part in their backstage fight. Remember Eddie got suspended for shoving Sammy out of his face after Sammy insulted him heavily. Sammy always gets away without punishment in those situations, and those who defend themselves against him get suspended. It's a pattern.
@@Krendall2 They call him a pillar of AEW and he's Jeri-go-home's boy so I guess that's why they deported him to ROH in the end, instead of just suspending or firing him after all the shit he's done.
It's unfortunate that wrestlers like Malakai Black, Buddy Murphy & Andrade weren't used to their full potential in AEW. They could've had a great run if used properly.

AEW's roster felt like playing GM mode on WWE2K22 but you have 50 guys you need to put on the show EVERY week. Except Tony was playing with real people, with real money.
Big Swole thought she was way better than she was, she was really annoying, especially in promos. I remember once she just yelled out quotes from Friday After Next with Lil' Swole. It was cringe inducing.
The entire concept of Big Swole annoys me. She wasnt "big", she wasn't "swole", and she couldn't wrestle (unlike her husband). Also annoys me because there was a 'wrestler adjacent' person named "Big Swole" back in WCW many years ago, and he was huge.
What bothers me the most about TK is he doesn’t use ROH as the NXT for AEW, the legacy for ROH is already tarnished enough by TK so why not use it as a developmental/3rd brand and build storylines and give people who don’t get tv time in there
Danhausen must have cursed himself? No what really cursed him was Tony's crappy booking. Since they didn't know what to do with them pretty much for the moment they signed them. How do you take a guy who was so over on the independence dude is a merch selling machine and fumble him so freaking badly?
He's actually popular? I saw Danhausen one time and decided he was bathroom break tv. What's the appeal behind him? I'm genuinely asking because I find it to be goofy and lame
You don't have to do anything with danhausen, He's a silly little guy, He should have been treated like the aew version of R truth, A guy who shows up, is funny and entertains people
And the Funniest thing with Andrade is that he went to AEW to test the waters for Charlotte. they both registered wrestling names outside WWE.They both wanted to leave WWE because the power struggle of vince and triple h. Tony had a direct line to getting one of the WWE top female star.
Danhausen was such a fumble, the same with the house of black I mean, they’ve been booked very good don’t give me wrong but really have to lose the six man titles. They haven’t really went anywhere. To clarify, obviously I know Danhausen wouldn’t be a world champion maybe not even a mid Card champion, but they could still get something out of him I mean he is very funny and can actually wrestle
dan just needs to be on tv like he can not wrestle 1 just manage or just appear and be goofy do interviews be on pannels attend comic con pay him a mil per year and only off his merch he will pay that back to the company. But he's friends with punk so fuck him l;d I guess
Gresham was intoxicated by the smell of his own farts. Thinking you were important when you're the champion of a wrestling subsidiary is classic indy bullshit.
He is still around. And wrestling. I hope he shows up in NXT or WWE soon. Ethan Page is his good friend, and he helped Ethan get signed to AEW. So Ethan might help him get signed with WWE. Ethan Page is a good guy and a true friend. I believe we will see Danhausen appear very soon.
dan could have been so good for their audience he's a fucking nerd that got over all by him self with his youtube. Goes to aew makes a video with punk and we don't see him now. Like dude dint even need to wreslte.
Guys like Andrade and Malakai Black should’ve been or should be used better in AEW. They should have a single titles run in the company but they never did which is very unfortunate because those guys are phenomenal workers
malakai and Andrade doesn't want to lose the matches according to multiple sources. Even danielson can lose a match AEW wastes a wrestler that's a fact.
@HaroldSoriano-q8n I think that them not wanting to lose matches is bs. Andrade has lost matches since he has come back to WWE. I don't know about Black, but I doubt that is true too. Losing matches is part of the job and they know that, so it would be stupid of them to only want to win.
It isn't just the death riders, though holy shit is it bad. Every time something seems interesting on AEW, it's taken away. Timeless Toni? Nah, we're going to rush Mariah's turn, rush the title swap, take away Toni's revenge and make the entire women's division as boring as possible. They've told the "Abused bodyguard/enforcer" story like five times now, but each time they've done it worse. The best thing we can say about MJF/Cole is that it's finally done. Could you imagine a year ago that MJF angles would be incoherent/boring? The last batch of WWE alums are just doing Temu rehashes of their former gimmicks. I loved the Hurt Business, but why are they just kinda... There? The only things I'm interested in are Ricochet and Adam Page. At that point, I can just get UA-cam clips.
@@lordovthorn2747 Please don't insult Chavo by comparing him to P.O.S. Guevara. On his "best" day, Guevara is not and will never be good enough to lick Chavo's boots.
I don’t even watch AEW that much but I still saw all the stories coming out on how bad he was to deal with. Constantly getting in trouble but always getting out of it because he had friends like Jericho
I think one thing that went wrong was that so many ex-WWE wrestlers went to AEW that the latter is now seen as a glorified “dumping ground”. Furthermore, it’s led to AEW having a ridiculously bloated roster with more wrestlers than they know what to do with.
Still annoyed at how underrated danhausen is Like they constantly sell his merch at shows yet never book him it's honestly so frustrating He could be doing so much more yet Tk is a Muppet and won't push him smh
Y'know, I think MJF put it best during one of his "shoot" promos. Tony Khan is a mark. He finds the wrestlers from WWE or wherever that he wishes only better things for... then when he signs them, he loses so much interest in them and just loses interest or whatever. And now, there's a bloated roster with little to no aim. AEW isn't a serious wrestling promotion. It's a glorified All-Star Game.
@@KruelAidMan Plenty of villains have said things that are "he's got a point" lines. Something that makes a good villain is when you can see their point in things. Challenging ideologies makes characters compelling.
Someone needs to take away Tony Khan's contract printer so AEW has to actually figure out how to use the people they signed, instead of just quickly churning through every popular indie guy and WWE castoff that comes along.
If they could go back to 2019, I'm willing to bet it all that LAX takes the offer that WWE offered the two. A short stint in NXT getting the Tag Titles before the Main Roster call up seems more enticing than being 2nd or 3rd fiddle Tag Team in your Own Faction. Jericho tagged with Hager & Guevara for Tag Title matches while the Now "Proud & Powerful" sadly sat in catering.
@@lordpelagius5078 yeah, lilbro acting like WWE gives a crap about tags is hilarious. WWE's tag divisions have had as many PPV matches in the last 7 months as Sting.
Yeah it's definitely not fair to paint AEW as the bad guy for all of these. There's a reason WWE has not knocked down the door to sign any of the people you listed.
but they pushed her over Britt Baker ... You should think twice about burying your top star against a joke, if you are planning to release that joke anyways. This perfectly shows that Tony Klown is just planning from show to show. Still people who cry for more diversity are a cancer for every work environment and are never satisfied.
I never understood how Tony can screw up booking Santana and Ortiz so badly, and keep in mind they came to AEW off the heels of being the longest Impact Tag Team Champions in that company history any the time.
@@joeyskywalker1322 _Bound for Glory_ is coming from a venue with less seats than Daily's loool. AEW superannuated TNA with their opening night. TNA isn't even catching with ROH.
Any time there's a woman who is reported to have "issues with people backstage", the last couple of years have shown that it's code for "Britt Baker didn't like this person, probably cuz they're better than her, and wanted them gone". There are some exceptions (Swole), but on the whole, history has proven that.
I REALLY hate when the excuse is turned into the skin color or ethnicity as opposed to simply not being good enough themselves and almost SPEEDRUN towards the cards when nothing else is left to grasp. Case in point, Big Swole was released because she was not good enough and there is proof. Her last match was August 2022. She has not performed since. It better be a correct play or it will ruin your own career. Tony Khan just can NOT keep his mouth shut and Swole and Lio tried to provoke him.
@@timomajere where did she say the lack of diversity being represented on tv specifically in aew held her back or was the reason she got fired?? At the time the statement was made she was absolutely right, representation of people of color was lacking from the TOP OF THE CARD.
And for Tony to dismiss this by saying oh well I’m of color and naming other people of color who weren’t sniffing the top of the card is the “I have black friends” response. Then to attack her wrestling and announce to the world you see her as an unfit wrestler for wanting more inclusion in wrestling as a whole is a bitch ass move that shouldn’t have been defended by as many people as it was.
@@CHS.Gmoney What an interesting narrative that is. I see her as trying to use skin color as a barrier being used against her when it's seemingly clear she was no longer good enough to maintain her roster status. Tony shoving his foot in his mouth is a repeat offense he does to this day. Lio is all about jumping on those bandwagons from past incidents seem to indicate. Me doth thinks you are trying to signal virtues.
Andrade could never be happy because his expectations is way too high for himself. It hard because the audience does not connect with him on the levels he wants.
She was perfectly fine in the little "Shot of Brandi" shorts on YT, where it's her chatting with someone while cooking, but in the ring... yeah, not good.
Dude… Danhausen signing with AEW was the best thing to happen to his career. Now that he’s widely known by the wrestling audience, his bookings in the indies has more than likely tripled, and his asking price dramatically increased. He was never going to be a top guy, or end up in NXT. So long as he’s hustling and making money? That’s a good thing. You act like he’s ice cold with his phone deadass quiet.
Chavo ending his management of Andrade was so he could do Young Rock. Jack Evans was kinda botch heavy, even screwing up how he got in the ring the first time And yeah, Tony was right about Swole. Her footwork was awful, she dropped Scorpio sky's wife on her head. I literally started calling her Botch Swole. Shanna, despite being a fellow Dragonball fan, yeah she had an issue where she'd do her finisher, refs would count the pin but thanks to how she did it the refs would have to physically separate them.
Big Swole, yet another reason why the terms "racism" and "racist" have been so watered down that it means absolutely nothing to be labeled as such now days. Dont like something? Racism!! Something bad happen to you?? They are racist!!!
@@KruelAidMan It was basically "I have Black friends" line, which is *why* he was called out on it, including backstage by Lio Rush. Damnedest thing Cody Rhodes has better takes on representation in both companies. 🙄
@@KruelAidMan The fact that *Lio Rush* of all people was the cooler, rational head compared to the boss IS the point. Tony Khan *overall* makes an impulsive ass of himself and this was the start of his bad PR habit. As bad as Triple H and WWE (and its fans) are about discussing race, Khan is *supposed* to be the younger and more aware promoter (i.e. he had a women's midcard title years before WWE did,) yet he can't get out of his own way (i.e. bad utilization *of* said women's division.)
I'm gonna say, Andrade could've become one of AEW's biggest stars had Khan not dropped the ball with him. Vince did that during his first run in WWE, but Khan didn't do any better and showed favoritism to Guevara when that fight broke out. Andrade seems more happier now in WWE this time around with HHH running the helms and is slowly getting pushed into the US title
So dont watch? This was a great video. U can fast forward and skip Back when its a new wrestler spoken about; its not rocket science. Its funny you speak about lazy but you want book marks😅😅😅
I have to say, I love Danhausen and so does the crowd. Whenever he appears the crowd is into him and they cheer. I don't understand why they keep squashing him and squashing him when he wrestles. I don't know if you guys have seen him wrestle on the independents but has has some nice-looking moves and he can go. If you keep beating and beating and beating someone so badly the people are going to stop caring. Do I ever see Danhausen as world champ? No, but he is entertaining and he could win a championship and do well. He has the people behind him.
The problem I think is that when somebody points out issues with AEW it brings the defence force out, & whoever says anything critical of AEW (even if they point out the good too) is cast as some sort of WWE shill. AEW has it's issue's but it's the fanbase that chases you away in the end.
I think the fact Matt Hardy is even willing to work with Jeff after all of Jeff's crap shows how devoted he is as a brother. 27:29 How long was Jade Cargill a champion in AEW?
It seems like Ivelisse has always been her worst enemy in her career.She always seems to have issues almost in every company she’s in and always blames others and never herself
Props to Jack Evans for being honest. Nearly every single one of these releases are based in some way down to terrible attitude in or out of the ring and none of them had their own decent memorable matches or moments the time outside of Santana/Ortiz’s early run - and even that was spoiled by personal issues. Nice that they all got given releases when requested after being paid to sit at home for the majority of the time, though.
It seems to me that tony khan is treating aew like a video game. He has his favorites. Even if they're not very good or nobody eles likes them. They are going to be on top, and everyone else is just there for them to beat.

AEW has signed so many pointless people that they could probably fire 30 wrestlers in one day and many viewers would not notice or care.
Doubtful. Bad faith actors would eat that up like sharks to chum.
Guys like Andrade and Malakai Black should’ve been or should be used better in AEW. They should have a single titles run in the company but they never did which is very unfortunate because those guys are phenomenal workers
malakai and Andrade doesn't want to lose the matches according to multiple sources. Even danielson can lose a match
AEW wastes a wrestler that's a fact.
@HaroldSoriano-q8n I think that them not wanting to lose matches is bs. Andrade has lost matches since he has come back to WWE. I don't know about Black, but I doubt that is true too. Losing matches is part of the job and they know that, so it would be stupid of them to only want to win.
There's a lot of phenomenal workers in AEW. Most of them don't have ex-WWE baggage.
Malakia black was a champion in AEW
@@LordBritish-hi5cp Yes, but not a SINGLES champion.
I don't want to live in a world where Dalton Castle can't get over.
It isn't just the death riders, though holy shit is it bad.
Every time something seems interesting on AEW, it's taken away. Timeless Toni? Nah, we're going to rush Mariah's turn, rush the title swap, take away Toni's revenge and make the entire women's division as boring as possible.
They've told the "Abused bodyguard/enforcer" story like five times now, but each time they've done it worse.
The best thing we can say about MJF/Cole is that it's finally done. Could you imagine a year ago that MJF angles would be incoherent/boring?
The last batch of WWE alums are just doing Temu rehashes of their former gimmicks. I loved the Hurt Business, but why are they just kinda... There?
The only things I'm interested in are Ricochet and Adam Page. At that point, I can just get UA-cam clips.
This was so well done it only felt like 20 minutes
Tony Kahn is turning into Vince McMahon 2.0 with his booking and wrestlers wanting out of the company 😂
Ace Steel is lying. He's covering for my canine friend Larry Punk. Larry has priors. If he bites one more human he's getting put down
Ive never seen anything positive about Sammy guavara
Agreed, he’s massively overrated and I think people are realising that
yeah hes a bad person and an average dork of a wrestler bro thinks hes eddie but hes just chavo jr
@@lordovthorn2747 Please don't insult Chavo by comparing him to P.O.S. Guevara.
On his "best" day, Guevara is not and will never be good enough to lick Chavo's boots.
@@quwykxz Chavo sucks lol
I don’t even watch AEW that much but I still saw all the stories coming out on how bad he was to deal with. Constantly getting in trouble but always getting out of it because he had friends like Jericho
Excellent video review 💯
I think one thing that went wrong was that so many ex-WWE wrestlers went to AEW that the latter is now seen as a glorified “dumping ground”.
Furthermore, it’s led to AEW having a ridiculously bloated roster with more wrestlers than they know what to do with.
Tony didn't have to sign any of those people
Bobby Fish. Yeah that's definitely a name that belongs on the marquee... 😂 Lol
Fish is playing a good veteran stable leader in MLF. Where a JBL guy is included in it.
Still annoyed at how underrated danhausen is
Like they constantly sell his merch at shows yet never book him it's honestly so frustrating
He could be doing so much more yet Tk is a Muppet and won't push him smh
I don't watch AEW but from the outside looking in they seem to have an obsession with creating factions
Y'know, I think MJF put it best during one of his "shoot" promos.
Tony Khan is a mark. He finds the wrestlers from WWE or wherever that he wishes only better things for... then when he signs them, he loses so much interest in them and just loses interest or whatever. And now, there's a bloated roster with little to no aim.
AEW isn't a serious wrestling promotion. It's a glorified All-Star Game.
MJF said it best when he was working a heel promo? Oh, honey...
@@KruelAidMan Plenty of villains have said things that are "he's got a point" lines. Something that makes a good villain is when you can see their point in things. Challenging ideologies makes characters compelling.
@@MetaGrave you know what the last 3 words of that promo really describe? You.
Danhausen is underrated. I hope he goes to NXT soon.
Half pint talking mime
Thabks for these long videos i absolutely love them
Great video but could you say AEW a few more times? I kept forgetting which promotion your video was about.
Someone needs to take away Tony Khan's contract printer so AEW has to actually figure out how to use the people they signed, instead of just quickly churning through every popular indie guy and WWE castoff that comes along.
Exactly
I thought danhausen was still with AEW
@@webs538 he already quit months ago
You don't know what you're talking about all the PG fans arr booking experts 😂😂😂
Isn't WWE's top guy a castoff from AEW?
Forgot about Big Swole...😂
Leo, too...what a 🤡
How hard is that?! If I make brainspace to remember 'Big Swole', I'm liable to forget my mother's birthday.
@@MADGUNSMONSTER hahaha
Ah... No!
THE Brian Kendrick: The TRUE 24-7 Champion
If they could go back to 2019, I'm willing to bet it all that LAX takes the offer that WWE offered the two. A short stint in NXT getting the Tag Titles before the Main Roster call up seems more enticing than being 2nd or 3rd fiddle Tag Team in your Own Faction. Jericho tagged with Hager & Guevara for Tag Title matches while the Now "Proud & Powerful" sadly sat in catering.
Before 100% getting released in either 2020 or 2021 and ending up in aew anyway?
@@lordpelagius5078 yeah, lilbro acting like WWE gives a crap about tags is hilarious. WWE's tag divisions have had as many PPV matches in the last 7 months as Sting.
Well Leo sucked,Big Swole sucked,Marko Stunt sucked ,Joey Janela was embarrassing,the Bunny sucked so that's that
Yeah it's definitely not fair to paint AEW as the bad guy for all of these.
There's a reason WWE has not knocked down the door to sign any of the people you listed.
XDDD
Game Changers who ran off a lot of people 😂
@@Gravey_draws nobody called any of them game changers. Stay upset.
Bunny was good
I am waiting for the day Danhausen shows up in NXT or WWE.
Big swole was such a joke.
but they pushed her over Britt Baker ... You should think twice about burying your top star against a joke, if you are planning to release that joke anyways. This perfectly shows that Tony Klown is just planning from show to show. Still people who cry for more diversity are a cancer for every work environment and are never satisfied.
@@SpongeBob_SchwachKopf or maybe they pushed Swole and realised it wasn't gonna work so they cut bait.
Miro dropped the ball with Cj should’ve kept her for the long run. He’s never gonna bag another woman on her level again
the only reason I remember bro was bc he had all those tattoos on his face made him standout don’t see how anyone could forget that
I never understood how Tony can screw up booking Santana and Ortiz so badly, and keep in mind they came to AEW off the heels of being the longest Impact Tag Team Champions in that company history any the time.
Yeah but it's MIDpact so what?
@@KruelAidManTNA lowkey catching up to AEW now
@@joeyskywalker1322 _Bound for Glory_ is coming from a venue with less seats than Daily's loool. AEW superannuated TNA with their opening night. TNA isn't even catching with ROH.
@@joeyskywalker1322all the tna dudes are leaving to aew and wwe i don’t see them catching up to either at all
Maybe danhausen shouldn’t have bootleghausen aew merch
I thought I was watching an AEW video not a straight line across Wales one 😅😂
Any time there's a woman who is reported to have "issues with people backstage", the last couple of years have shown that it's code for "Britt Baker didn't like this person, probably cuz they're better than her, and wanted them gone". There are some exceptions (Swole), but on the whole, history has proven that.
Great vid. NGL I pop every time you say Sammy's last name.
I REALLY hate when the excuse is turned into the skin color or ethnicity as opposed to simply not being good enough themselves and almost SPEEDRUN towards the cards when nothing else is left to grasp.
Case in point, Big Swole was released because she was not good enough and there is proof.
Her last match was August 2022. She has not performed since.
It better be a correct play or it will ruin your own career.
Tony Khan just can NOT keep his mouth shut and Swole and Lio tried to provoke him.
You obviously missed her whole point but keep running towards ur narrative my dawg🤾🏾♂️
@@CHS.Gmoney Oh please, do enlighten me then.
@@timomajere where did she say the lack of diversity being represented on tv specifically in aew held her back or was the reason she got fired?? At the time the statement was made she was absolutely right, representation of people of color was lacking from the TOP OF THE CARD.
And for Tony to dismiss this by saying oh well I’m of color and naming other people of color who weren’t sniffing the top of the card is the “I have black friends” response. Then to attack her wrestling and announce to the world you see her as an unfit wrestler for wanting more inclusion in wrestling as a whole is a bitch ass move that shouldn’t have been defended by as many people as it was.
@@CHS.Gmoney What an interesting narrative that is. I see her as trying to use skin color as a barrier being used against her when it's seemingly clear she was no longer good enough to maintain her roster status.
Tony shoving his foot in his mouth is a repeat offense he does to this day.
Lio is all about jumping on those bandwagons from past incidents seem to indicate.
Me doth thinks you are trying to signal virtues.
Not the Bully theme in the beginning lmao nostalgia hit me hard
I really like ivelisse , but boy her attitude sucks.
Andrade could never be happy because his expectations is way too high for himself. It hard because the audience does not connect with him on the levels he wants.
Good Ole Brandi. One of the best looking women on the planet. And people still hated her. She was that untalented
She was perfectly fine in the little "Shot of Brandi" shorts on YT, where it's her chatting with someone while cooking, but in the ring... yeah, not good.
Top10 the wrestling content God!
Dude… Danhausen signing with AEW was the best thing to happen to his career. Now that he’s widely known by the wrestling audience, his bookings in the indies has more than likely tripled, and his asking price dramatically increased. He was never going to be a top guy, or end up in NXT. So long as he’s hustling and making money? That’s a good thing. You act like he’s ice cold with his phone deadass quiet.
I really liked Jack Evans as well, that was a ball drop.
Danhausen was bound to have a short shelf life. His act is good in small doses.
Come onnnnn hahaha they didn't even give him one single chance at anything.
Chavo ending his management of Andrade was so he could do Young Rock.
Jack Evans was kinda botch heavy, even screwing up how he got in the ring the first time
And yeah, Tony was right about Swole. Her footwork was awful, she dropped Scorpio sky's wife on her head. I literally started calling her Botch Swole.
Shanna, despite being a fellow Dragonball fan, yeah she had an issue where she'd do her finisher, refs would count the pin but thanks to how she did it the refs would have to physically separate them.
Big Swole is the stupidest name ever. THEY never cease to amaze me
Whose they? Because big swole was her name coming into aew and they rarely change peoples names.
Lol
Harambes 😂😂
Big Swole, yet another reason why the terms "racism" and "racist" have been so watered down that it means absolutely nothing to be labeled as such now days. Dont like something? Racism!! Something bad happen to you?? They are racist!!!
Khan didn't exactly help his case (as usual) in response though.
@@Kshandamion Why? He told the truth lol
@@KruelAidMan It was basically "I have Black friends" line, which is *why* he was called out on it, including backstage by Lio Rush. Damnedest thing Cody Rhodes has better takes on representation in both companies. 🙄
@@Kshandamion yeah if there's 1 person who's a posterboy for rational thinking in wrestling it's Lio.
@@KruelAidMan The fact that *Lio Rush* of all people was the cooler, rational head compared to the boss IS the point. Tony Khan *overall* makes an impulsive ass of himself and this was the start of his bad PR habit. As bad as Triple H and WWE (and its fans) are about discussing race, Khan is *supposed* to be the younger and more aware promoter (i.e. he had a women's midcard title years before WWE did,) yet he can't get out of his own way (i.e. bad utilization *of* said women's division.)
I was wondering what happened to Dan 😂
I was expecting a 15 minute video lol
Oh we're at the point of whatculture doing "10 things aew want you to forget about...." Lists now lol
34:37 what?
I rewinded when I heard that shit.
I'm gonna say, Andrade could've become one of AEW's biggest stars had Khan not dropped the ball with him. Vince did that during his first run in WWE, but Khan didn't do any better and showed favoritism to Guevara when that fight broke out. Andrade seems more happier now in WWE this time around with HHH running the helms and is slowly getting pushed into the US title
Andrade got eclipsed as soon as RUSH debuted.
Sammy Guevara really has talent ( as an athlete not in charisma) but he is an irresponsible guy and should not be the face of aew
You need to put bookmarks on these things so we can skip to the ones we haven't seen. This is just barf out content laziness.
So dont watch? This was a great video. U can fast forward and skip
Back when its a new wrestler spoken about; its not rocket science. Its funny you speak about lazy but you want book marks😅😅😅
@@marcvelli7432 You're asking an IWC member to use their brain, you've already gone too far!! 😂😂
The entire anti-AEW grift is just barf-out content laziness.
Aew is where careers go to die
I was looking so forward to that Kendrick Moxley match, that shit was wild lol
When the Andrade and Sammy incident happened, I read that Sammy hadn't thrown a single punch.
Lio Rush causes problems everywhere he goes. Not worth the hassle. He'll retire again next week.
Harambes for ya
Half of this list they dud it to themselves
I have to say, I love Danhausen and so does the crowd. Whenever he appears the crowd is into him and they cheer. I don't understand why they keep squashing him and squashing him when he wrestles. I don't know if you guys have seen him wrestle on the independents but has has some nice-looking moves and he can go. If you keep beating and beating and beating someone so badly the people are going to stop caring. Do I ever see Danhausen as world champ? No, but he is entertaining and he could win a championship and do well. He has the people behind him.
1:50 def don't recall this either
Sammy Guevara's downfall has been so satisfying to watch.
He won't be the face of Aew but they do keep giving him championships and it bothers me that it's with a legend like Dustin Rhodes
Downfall? He's champion with a legend while Andrade is champion of a dying social media app.
You just took a bunch of videos you uploaded combined them and recovered the topics a bit,infact pretty much all your video's are reuploads or repeats
Maybe Tony Khan is a terrible booker.
I understand that Dark Side of the Ring works with Jericho, but I hope they make episodes about AEW.
The problem I think is that when somebody points out issues with AEW it brings the defence force out, & whoever says anything critical of AEW (even if they point out the good too) is cast as some sort of WWE shill. AEW has it's issue's but it's the fanbase that chases you away in the end.
4:50 negative, watch Matt vs Bray ultimate deletion match its a classic!!!
Trench was a useless signing, he didn’t even want to wrestle. So many other talents at his school and he is sign because of his look. Lol😅
I think the fact Matt Hardy is even willing to work with Jeff after all of Jeff's crap shows how devoted he is as a brother.
27:29 How long was Jade Cargill a champion in AEW?
January 2022 to May 2023. Not sure of the exact dates, though.
@@TJSmith-jb4og Nearly a year and a half. Exactly.
Jack Evans is EXTREMELY UNDERRATED
It seems like Ivelisse has always been her worst enemy in her career.She always seems to have issues almost in every company she’s in and always blames others and never herself
Broken matt was awesome❤
Hardys Family Office was cool :p
Kendrick didn't just make "weird Conspiracy Comments". The man denied the Holocaust.
Props to Jack Evans for being honest. Nearly every single one of these releases are based in some way down to terrible attitude in or out of the ring and none of them had their own decent memorable matches or moments the time outside of Santana/Ortiz’s early run - and even that was spoiled by personal issues. Nice that they all got given releases when requested after being paid to sit at home for the majority of the time, though.
I was never a big fan of Matt Hardy, but for me he peaked in TNA with the Broken gimmick. It ran it''s course. He's just boring otherwise.
Can you make Time line stamps for each one?
It seems to me that tony khan is treating aew like a video game. He has his favorites. Even if they're not very good or nobody eles likes them. They are going to be on top, and everyone else is just there for them to beat.
You're thinking of McMahon
