Great wrestler, great promo, great song, all round stand up guy. I know people felt he was overpushed or whatever, but I miss him. Feel like he'd be killing it in the current AEW landscape, away from the Elite and doing his own thing.
Hope he's doing alright.
*point* BOOM *point*

He felt overpushed because he was pushed that hard everywhere, and almost always played the same character. He was definitely good enough to justify it, but it got really old once you'd seen it multiple times before.
This has bascially been his career for the last decade, it'd really be nice to see him have a sustained babyface run for a change.

Just for the OP also yes, I miss him too I enjoy his work. Hopefully his recovery from his injury is going well.

I wish it was under better circumstances but this break I think is going to help him. Dude was overexposed like nobody’s business so hopefully when he gets back it’ll feel more fresh.
AND we won’t have to deal with them trying to cram a Undisputed Era run down our throats with Fish gone. Let Cole be a face. SOMETHING different

It was really shitty luck that both Cole and O'Reilly got seriously injured at the same time. Though I can't say I'm all that broken up about Fish being gone lol.
I don't know what will happen now that Vince McMahon is back, but it was great seeing DaParty again.

SRS is being cheeky bout du’ coming back soon. Don’t know if that holds weight or not but, *shrug*, there’s a chance I guess.

I miss Dr. Nash. AEW should bring him in for some skits.

I really don't. Very, very tired of his character.
He's been the same thing since he was feuding with Sami Callahan in CZW.
Dreading the inevitable feud with whatever remains of the Undisputed Era and the Elite. TK really wants that to happen.

I get why people felt like he was overexposed even though I've enjoyed his run so far. I think the time away will help and he could really benefit from being a face when he comes back. I think a feud against MJF will bring out the best out of each other.

Luckily that streamer Chugs is still going, he reminds me a lot of Adam Cole for some reason.

I don't miss him at all.
But, I'd rather have him healthy enough to be back on TV and wrestling than not so I'd be happy to see him return for that reason alone.

This has bascially been his career for the last decade, it'd really be nice to see him have a sustained babyface run for a change. the biggest issue in AEW was while he was pushed hard... he also really wasn't doing anything... cause they put the Elite and Undisputed in a holding pattern while Kenny was out... Cause they desperately wanted that feud.

I miss him, too. But dude was getting stale as he was basically the same dude throughout his NXT run all the way to AEW. So hopefully, when or if he's able to return, I hope he comes back as a face. Dude is gonna get a mega pop whenever he returns so you might as well ride that wave.

He's been out long enough for me to miss him, but I'll lose any excitement for his return without some kind of fresh angle to him. If this is going to be like MJF coming back and eschewing any kind of new direction to get a big win and return to same old same old, then I'll be frustrated as soon as that happens.
The lack of Fish in the future suggests that, at bare minimum, he'll have somebody new involved in the whole Elite drama that was endlessly derivative of past stuff in other promotions...

Robert O'Fish working himself into a shoot and no longer being in AEW is good for a lot of reasons but the big one is that it will force literally any kind of change at all into the situation with Adam Cole and maybe that leads to an escape from what he's been doing for so long. I think Cole is great, but I also think he needs to do something other than run with the same guys over and over. He's too good to be mired in such heavy typecasting forever.

And that situation was just made so much worse via it all tying into the Elite, because the Elite (especially at peak Super Elite times) was so entirely defined by the past in a way few other things in AEW are. It was five guys whose common thing was that they were all in a stable in New Japan together before AEW, being programmed with dudes who were defined by having been in a stable in NXT together, where they were defined by having been in a stable in ROH together. At some point, somebody new has to be added to all of this.

You know what I’m still not over?
Having Adam Cole job to Orange Cassidy weeks before his world title match where he lost clean to Adam Page.
I get that it was a lights out match so the loss “didn’t count,” but I have no clue how you don’t do a better job of protecting the guy you have in the main event of your next PPV, especially when he’s gonna job there, too.
Then on top of that, he loses in his next high-profile match, the IWGP four-way at Forbidden Door.
I also understand that everything was in a bit of a holding pattern thanks to Kenny’s absence, but man, that booking did not do him any favours.
