Why did they even have Sabu he barely did anything I love/hate knowing exactly what Sabu did with his show money because of the advent of social media I hate knowing Sabu is a homophobe for the same reasons

I would mind this feud way less if they had the courage to do actual intergender matches.

I like Adam Cole, but he may be the issue. I haven’t felt invested in his feuds so far in AEW (and I remember the KOR and Gargano NXT feuds getting a bit boring and cornily dramatic as well). I’m not sure what the solution is, but maybe he’s best as a midcard act or as the heel leader of a group (though the latter may be a bit played out as well). Not really looking forward to MJF-Cole if that’s what the next big title feud is for Max. I hope Tony Khan deviates from this plan or Adam Cole is just going to continue being exposed. Even though I am not a fan of MJF (to but it lightly), he will accentuate all the things that make Cole lackluster. Tony has booked himself into a corner.

If he cared that much he wouldn't have paid him I will be nice and assume he didnt know before because most of us didnt, he probably could have pulled, never said he cared a lot. Im sure in the end he chose his fandom over what Sabu said, he likely wanted to have that one moment but I doubt Sabu will return.

TK brought Bischoff and Konnan despite them constantly burying him on their podcast *shrugs*
Sabu involvement seemed like an audible, its like Tk didnt know about the sht Sabu has said online(he had to get reminded about what Kendrick did on twitter for example), and he couldnt just have him no appear(getting him laid out backstage) because thats a very Vince bait and switch move, instead it looks like he told Sabu "you do your spot early in the match and get out of here. "

Having guys who buried him on the show is a dunk on those guys, not Tony. They're the people who are principled enough to take money from someone they evidently think sucks. They're not the same thing But yeah my hope is that he didn't know that Sabu says that shit online, but frankly, research better, Tony. It isn't hard

Cole is in that spot a lot of the old NXT crew are for me (Gargano/Ciampa/KOR) were they're credible top guys in NXT/ROH sized promotions but I just don't think I'd ever buy them as headliners in the top places like WWE/AEW/NJPW.
He's too popular to just be a regular midcarder though so he probably ends up hanging around upper-midcard/occasional main event territory.

An MJF / Cole feud just sounds completely miserable to me. The Repetitive Force meets the Uninteresting Object and there's absolutely zero doubt which one would win because all title reigns in the 2020s last for half a decade.

I couldn't stand Cole before his injury but know he is talented, and wanted to give his face run a chance but I am sick of him already

Cole / Cole's Friend are 6-0 against the JAS in this feud, has he won decisively enough for this feud to end now?

If two wins over Jericho in the span of four days including literally pinning him clean tonight isn’t enough to stop this feud…

That match should have been on the PPV instead of what we got
But yeah, end this it is over. Jericho put in the lockjaw by Britt and Cole pinned him decisively

I initially thought Cole would be make a better babyface than the heel character that bored me so much, but man he’s been channel changing even as a face for me. It doesn’t help that he’s aligning with Britt on camera more frequently now, and Britt learned how to be a sympathetic babyface from late-2000’s HHH from the looks of it. Something is just off with Cole’s presentation and I don’t know what. Maybe a non Jericho feud will come off better for him.

Something is just off with Cole’s presentation and I don’t know what. Maybe a non Jericho feud will come off better for him. He has to find a way to channel that energy he has a heel to a babyface Even in NXT his face run was only a few months. I think big problem is Cole hasn't had time on his own. Whether it be Britt or his friends, he really hasn't been a true solo act in years. Even Kyle got that for a few months in NXT Cole has all the skills to be a great babyface but this feud was not it.
