The one guy who stands out as a waste to me is Andrade, especially now, but I dont know how much of the stalling with him is due to not messing with Triplemania Off the top of my head the number one guy that does nothing of value on screen in AEW is Luther, guy is just awkward and stumbly and everything he does looks awful. Marko Stunt is bad and doesn't fit into the Jurassic Express very well (granted it seems like he's been getting phased out in importance already). In my ideal world Luchasaurus goes because he sucks but his gimmick is probably good for merch sales and kids and he's fine as long as he's just backup/hot tag for Jungle Boy so cutting him would obviously be a bad idea. I don't know what Shawn Spears even does besides be the most transparent "just here to eat pins" faction member ever. I'm not knowledgeable enough about their full roster of guys who mostly exist on Youtube to say which are good enough to keep but you could cut out the bottom 10-15 of them without affecting the show at all beyond the next lowest guys losing an extra five minute match per month to compensate. Largely the problem isn't the quality or potential to get over but just that they have so many people that even if you like someone, you might not see them again for ages. That problem is especially bad with the women's division, though that's not a roster problem I guess and more of a "does Tony Khan remember he has one of those?" problem scarletspeed7 posted... One of the reasons so much of the talent is over is because of those story-light programs that allow lower card talent to get wins. And I really have to say, featuring someone on TV every week doesn't make them a star. Case in point - WWE. Featuring someone doesn't make them a star, but it's also very hard to become a star if you're very rarely featured and don't get sustained momentum when you are. Look at Scorpio Sky - AEW does their whole "brass ring" Sonic donut match to parody Vince McMahon's reputation for not pushing people who deserve it, he wins, then...he loses his title match, has a heel turn, misses several Dynamites while supposedly feuding with the TNT champ and has to jump Darby three times before the latter even acknowledges him, then just becomes Ethan Page's background buddy for his feud with Darby. Like they tried to make a joke about how they'll push talented people and then could barely find time for the guy. Or to go to the women's division again, from what I saw online the Shida/Tay Conti title match was pretty well received and did good ratings. If you liked it...well woops, because one of those people hasn't been on TV since and the other hasn't been since she lost the title to Britt Baker (and was often not on TV or stuck in the pandemic crowd during her own title reign). Pretty hard to feel like these people are a big deal when you barely even seen them. --- Meow! <cite>Panthera posted [p:956712187] in All-Purpos...
