Gonna add

-TNA had a plan to have a big match and crowning moment on their debut episode on AMC

-All of the Santana stuff and what has been done since is stupid and never should've been done

People have been legitimately saying that, but also WWE realized someone was recording the setup for Survivor Series and started playing various old titantrons and themes to fuck with them. One of them was Ambrose's, and of course the person shared all of them.

You also get way less risks without passion projects and things that are just made because people genuinely want to make them, and that leaves things stale

"AEW is too predictable with the outcome of matches"

Honestly it goes beyond just wrestling fans, too many people experience something in a piece of media that is meant to make them feel a negative emotion and automatically assume "well this made me feel bad, so it must be bad writing"

Yeah, but that's cause Shafir is just a replacement for Penelope. Am surprised Ford and Bayne don't have a name yet from what I recall

Should be said, I'm all for Timeless Love Bombs winning, especially because they've done a good job of making me not worry that it'll be one of those situations, but with all the complaints people still have, and some of the wider booking in wrestling the past few years re: tags, it's not surprising

*is

Then it'll be fine, but how many times have we seen the latter across both men's and women's divisions? Current NJPW tag league if 80% that, so it makes sense that people are very cautious

I think it's also wrapped up in both people's worries over women's bookings and the state of tag wrestling in general this year, the latter of which has been rough across the board. If the winning team is going to actually be a tag team, and not two singles stars who occasionally defend tag belts

It's the question of "should the first champs be an actual established team, or two big singles stars transitioning into the division?" TayJay have been a team since 2020, so they're the first option for many
