TK cant even book a good rampage show and you think i should have confidence in giving him more TV time? I loved AEW when it started, it was fresh faces in mainstream wrestling who i only got to see in NJPW or on the indies. Then he started bringing over WWE guys and got rid of his shiny new toys. When the luster of "who's debuting now" wore off you could tell he didnt know what to do with it. Then the backstage issues started and instead of putting his footdown to create a cohesive product he bought ROH and screwed over a lot of the signed talent there like the champ Jonathan Gresham. A man with no experience booking 8 hours of TV time a week is a recipe for disaster.

Part of the reason for Collision existing and a potential brand split resulting from it is to give more TV time for those wrestlers to shine. They may not be on the card tonight, but I heard that Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Thunder Rosa would be big parts of Collision, all of whom are names that kind of got lost in the shuffle like you said. And there are more like them who will get more chances due to Collision existing. Plus, I think it'll be booked better than Rampage because it's in a better time slot and is already being positioned as an equal to Dynamite instead of being clearly seen as a B-show in a terrible time slot from the beginning.

I'm not denying that Tony Khan has a lot of work to do in 2023, because 2022 was a rough year for AEW. They had to navigate around the chaos of Brawl Out, the acquisition and integration of ROH, and a lot of injuries, but they got through it and things are looking up now. Collision is starting, the big Wembley show is coming up, and the roster is much healthier heading into Forbidden Door 2. So I'm going to stay optimistic.
