Meh. It's one of the Dark Order's Shy Guys. He can be replaced.

that guy probably had a little too much of the bubbly

Some AEW fans will spin this into something positive somehow.

"They meant to do that. You just don't get it."

This. It's horrendously bad, but it's someone easily replaceable. If someone who's actually regularly on TV was doing that, then it's a problem.

Well they just sold out their next PPV in 10 minutes so

Is this a soap opera

Great ring psychology

People need to understand that they're a new league, it will have growing pains. The talent they have, a lot of it, is developmental. They don't yet have the capital to be able to put out fully vetted superstars in the ring while also running a developmental league. its kinda being done all in one and there will be bumps along the way. Bumps like this that should be addressed and fixed. You gotta give them more than they've had before you say "they're gonna fail"...Let the company grow, let the Superstars develop, see who else they can bring in to help put developmental talent over and teach them. In a way, TNA was headed in that direction, but then they just sold out and decided to go full WCW and just use old WWF stars while stifling young development. AEW wants to develop talent first. If its still like this in a year, then you can start to worry.

I agree with Vipa. It's way too soon to judge the product.

Kind of wish they worked more of the Scientology-inspired gimmick into Dark Order. The vignettes are brilliant, but in the ring, they're just another creepy cult faction.

They've got time to improve on everything in the company, though. It's only been a few months.

Lets not act like WWE didnt have Shane McMahon on screen with his punches the better part of 10 years.

The AEW dude was some random henchman and not a main character in lead storylines

If you're going down that road, then didn't WWE have the lowest Raw ratings of all time last week?

No one is defending Raw

I think WhatCulture said it well, AEW looks more like a cooperative athletic competition in many cases. They need more intensity in the moves, so many of the moves they do have a soft touch or appear too acrobatic. And do we have to see a suicide dive every match?
