Caught the first hour last night. Meh. Cage looks like a beast but has the whole 'clearly this individual loves steroids' thing going on which I've always thought was gross looking. MJF and JJ could put on a solid match but I just don't know why any of that is happening. Best guess is everyone loved Sting and Danielson's last ride so Tony thinks he's the retirement storyline king.
I see AEW as New Generation WWF. I can't remember how many older wrestlers were still heavily involved then but there's a large core of "these guys are the future of AEW" and so much time is being devoted to elders and ex-WWE guys they were okay with losing. And The Rock 'n' Roll Express should not be involved in angles in 2025.

I already spent enough for Billy Joel and Sting the next weekend at the same place.
Yes I’d really like to see that as well. But I would prefer Sting stick to police songs
- End the Callis Family, have him manage one guy, and be less cartoonish.
- Less old wrestlers featured.
- Top guys: Hangman, Swerve, Ospreay, Fletcher, MJF, Omega, Hobbs. Joe. That's the list. Next guy up would be Takeshita.
- Push Brody/Buddy to the moon while building the tag division around them, Lashley/Benjamin, White/Robinson, FTR, Copeland/Cage, Bucks, Outrunners.
- End trios division and scrap those titles.
- Mox is a ratings killer and his ideas suck. Move him to the midcard and make him a loner. His factions are terrible. Let him build up a lesser title like Cena did the US title.

Callis Family cartoonish? What kind of cartoons are you watching? Callis Family is cooking right now.
Mostly agree about the rest.
Don’t know if I’d call Moxley a ratings killer. You got to look at the numbers and not what your opinion or what the dumbass IWC is saying.
Ratings have gone up this month with him as champ, and that’s not including any Max viewership, which is allegedly doing well.
The two PPVs with him as champ had better buy rates than the two PPVs with Danielson as champ.
And Moxley/Death Riders YouTube clips are consistently the best performing YouTube clips for AEW.
If he was a ratings killer, all that wouldn’t be happening.
Callis himself is cartoonish. He's always laughing like a cartoon villain while practically rubbing his palms together. Tone it down and manage one guy, namely Takeshita or Fletcher. And when Ospreay returned for good, they had him back in the Callis Family...even though he's a born face.
PWInsider mentioned Max numbers have been included from the start, which is likely why the overall numbers have been a little better recently. A lot of fans seem fatigued by Mox which isn't good considering he returned a few months ago. He's always in a faction that's lame, always rambling about nothing like a Wyatt, and is what, a 4x champ in a five year old company? It's too much imo. Even company man John Cena eventually took a step back.
