    I’m not opposed to that based on just sheer roster size, but they need to start putting out solid 2 hour programs first. Quality over quantity.

      Not that we aren’t there already, but if Tony expands to more than 5h it needs to be with the addition of someone else booking a show or two so he doesn’t do it all himself.

        Yes! He’s already needs someone to run ROH for him.

    If the reports are true and he’s booking shit on the fly these days, for the love of God don’t give this man any more hours until he gets a damn booking team to help him, on the fly booking is bad… I mean I’m looking at my run down for Dynamite and I’m sure I was told I was getting Saraya and Mariah and then I didn’t… it’s being pushed to next week.

    Although, I’d happily give up Rampage for another hour of Dynamite or a different concept-style show. Rampage is just, meh.

      Didn’t post it (least I don’t think I did lol) but she made an insta-delete post on twitter which indicated she was pretty pissed over that too.

    I swear I need to be right next to Tony Khan with full authority to slap him hard when he does stupid shit like booking matches and not stories.

    Yes, great, we got to see Danialson vs Sabre Jr. Yes, it was an amazing match. Now what did it do to get me to watch Dynamite next week?

    And now he’s booking what he sees as his own dream matches on Dynamite. You have a roster of like 3,000 people. Why the FUCK are you bringing CMLL and New Japan guys in, when like 70% of your roster hasn’t seen anything more than squash matches in 3 years?

    Where the fuck is Brit Baker? Why did you let Colt Cabana, Joey Janella, and Ethan Page go? I get trim the fat, but especially early on those could have been your upper midcard stars ready to break out. Oh, but lets bring is Escha Latte Frappadooo. Or whatever the name of the next random masked luchador is.

    Vince McMahon is absolutely a sex offender, but at least he knew rey mysterio is your one guy with a mask, because that makes him different but firmiliar.

    AEWs masked guys are Rey Fenix, and Penta. You can have more than one masked guy, but each extra one dilutes the effectiveness of their unique image. What’s far worse however is “here’s a guy you’ve never seen before, you’ll never see again, and he’s facing a guy who’s here every week”.

    Either it’s bad booking because the nobody won, or its bad booking because the signed wrestler won which everybody saw coming. And then you have no follow up story, so what was the point of any of it???
