AEW needs to split Stunt from the Jurassic Express

[cabbageboy]

I have no earthly idea why he was signed in the first place. It's the sort of thing where if a newer viewer sees that guy on your TV program the reaction will be "Why are they letting a glorified midget wrestle against grown men?" Just reeks of Cornette's trademark "Indie, outlaw, mudshow" wrestling.

[MolotovMocktail]

At most make him a manager, or the friend who the heels always beat up and they need to avenge.

I don’t see him splitting from the team any time soon. Luchasaurus is out with a hamstring injury and it looks like they’re keeping Jungle Boy and Marko as a team at least until he’s back.

Yeah, agreed.

While we're at it I also think Orange Cassidy needs to be split off from the Best Friends because he's completely overshadowing them.

I don't know.Best Friends are still pretty over in the Dark Shows at least and in BTE they got to shine too.

OC is just clearly the most over.It is also good to have someone at the side of OC since his character is so lazy you might need someone to step in

[FinalGwen]

I appreciated the visual of him on Jungle Boy's shoulders while he was in turn on Luchasaurus' shoulders, but... Yeah, that's a one off crossover BTE joke.

[Manute Bol]

Good thing he's with them. Makes for a totally reasonable replacement for Luchasaurus tonight. Could have been messy without Stunt there to slide in.

[Deleted]

Damn, Luchasaurus injured? Is it bad, weeks or months? They better straight up let him Kanesque destroy everyone in the ring when he comes back...

Now, I want Private Party or Lucha Brothers (probably the safest choice) to win this tournament.

I think Stunt could do wonders in his own team, with his own "big guy" to play off of. He and, just throwing this out there, Ryback would make an amazing pairing.

I know they were in a bind, but without the benefit of hindsight putting Stunt in this spot seems like the absolute worst misjudgment of the short-lived Dynamite era. I simply don't buy Stunt in any way as anything other than cannon fodder. If you're going to push him to any level at all, it needs to be after six months of being a whipping boy and then he can Mikey Whipwreck his way into some fluke offense and eventually some wins that mean something. But if he just shows up "as is" and works even a semi-competitive match? That seems like a good way to get viewers to switch to something else.

[King Devitt]

When they added him I thought for sure they were going to introduce 6 Man Tag Titles b/c of all the trios teams they have or are forcing into existence (much like Best Friends and OC).

I echo the sentiments that he definitely drags the act down, I think they did a great job of explaining it on BTE, but it doesn't translate well to an actual team.

[thetower52]

He shouldn’t even be employed

[Rave]

He doesn't fit their aesthetic. Turn him heel and make him the annoying dickhead that hides behind a big man or two.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

I can't get down with this sentiment, especially after tonight. Lucha Bros are well known by the AEW fanbase, but were not over as heels. Beating the shit out of Marko Stunt fixed that immediately, and I imagine the other heel tag teams are dying to work with him, especially when the dinosaur is back to throw him around some more.

[Deleted]

Yeah, after tonight I won't say a bad word about Marko w/ Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus. But they still better treat 'saurus like a world champ when he comes back, he can pile up some wins for these guys!

I just don't think he needs to be in Jurassic Express but he definitely has a spot in the company

Exactly, I don't get this "Shouldn't even be employed" or "He doesn't fit" crap. I feel like some people aren't seeing his upside because they don't wanna see it. He had the crowd in the palm os his hand tonight, he got THE LUCHA BROS booed. There's a reason he's here.

Da Big Guy and Da Little Guy works for me.
Hell, call em Da Guys.

I'll go a step further and state that they should retool the team to be a singles and tag team.

The team should be Marko and Luchasaurus, and Jungle Boy is the singles guy. Jungle Boy might actually have the best upside of the three as everyone will soon find out if they don't know already, and the reason Marko was included in the fold is because they wanted to do the projectile offense. And they did it well with the two small guys tonight. But it could be even better when they have the big man doing it.

Their finisher can be the Fastball Special

I want Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus to win the tag titles. When I saw Jungle Boy and Mario Stunt, I wanted them to lose in two minutes.
