The last few segments involving the Undisputed Kingdom, Taven, Bennet, and Strong do all the talking, mainly Strong, and Wardlow is in the back just being the silent muscle, barely even reacting to what's going on. He just looks so check out now. Sad.

Ive watched every single Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision ever produced (except last nights Collision - need to catch up). So Ive watched every single televised AEW show. I know of the bigger names from other feds (TNA, NJPW, etc), but Im hardly an expert on them. And to that end, I think AEW does a horrendous job at making the names of some of their own talent well known within their own product.

I say that while highlighting your post because I still dont really know who Taven is, and I only know the name because you included it in your post. AEW has put Roddy at the forefront, so if you didnt watch NXT, you should know who he is. And Wardlow, while booked poorly, has had moments in the spotlight. But Bennett (who I only know from his time in WWE) and Taven are just sorta there with the Undisputed Kingdom. They just sorta have matches sometimes. I cant be the only person who gets frustrated at not knowing who their own people are sometimes.

The entire integration with ROH was handled extremely poorly in my opinion, and just now as I type this out, Im realizing that my interest in AEW significantly decreased around that time. They just brought in a ton of new people and would throw them into matches without a lot of explanation of who they were. The shows became flooded with waaaaay too many belts. And the whole thing became even more and more compounded as AEW would bring in people from CMLL, NJPW, and other feds, and the only explanation Id get is Trust us, this is a big star! as theyd put on a random match.

Meanwhile I have zero investment in these people. I dont care about them, and it makes it harder and harder for me to watch with each passing week. Get back to building within your own company, and trim away some of the fat.

Sorry for the long rant.
