I feel like stuff like this is just an open invitation to dunk on Jay White and his AEW Booking when it really feels like he's just gotten here for anything to truly happen, but people just want to say it's "Not good" to make it feel like Jay made the wrong decision in going here or something. It's a really weird sentiment I see around Jay White specifically. No, it’s to discuss how people think a popular free agent is doing in the company he picked. Im not saying you made the poll with bad intentions, I'm saying it was an open invitation for people to dunk on Jay White, a sentiment I see across social medias for "Not choosing the other guy" (When the other guy apparently stopped talking to him reportedly) I just think if Jay White is still in Battle Royals or in the midcard by the half year mark, this poll would be more prevelent, as it stands, I really think it's too soon to tell, as he's just getting himself, and Bullet Club Gold, established in the company

Personally I think it's been like, ok but not great, but last night was a great promo and there's good potential for things going forward. Would be way more interested in Bullet Club Gold as tag champs than FTR, and would give Jay a good way to stay a big relevant figure in the company while the main event is so stacked.

I would say it's been good.
After Blood And Guts is over, I can see a war starting between Bullet Club Gold and the Elite!

Pretty meh so far.
I mean if it was some guy then I'd consider it pretty good, but with the level of hype he'd been getting it feels underwhelming. However, giving him and Juice a dominant tag title run would help.

Oh they're free to, it's just an observation I was making I think Jay getting involved in multiple people is a good direction, Bullet Club Gold needs more members though, and I think we're seeing that as soon as next week

It's a concern is all, I'm not saying that's actively happening here, it's just something I see with Jay White that's been happening, very quick gun jumps to proclaim that he's dead because he went to AEW or something along the same track Again, not saying that's happening here, thankfully, it was just a worry of mine that thankfully hasn't seem to come to pass it all.

I think it's been fine.
He was never going to be pushed to world title contention while MJF is champ and giving him an easier and slower start helps him find his feet on weekly American TV.

A Good but with the asterisk that a rating seems premature for him even with the idea it's a 'so far' thing.. I can point to stuff like his Kommander match and the promo he cut this week where he was using Tony as a meat shield as quality Jay White content and a good sign he's adapted well to not being able to write promos comprised of f bombs, but those can't tell a complete picture of Jay White. Jay White is long-term to the end and big matches are where he shines most. He's a guy who can't be judged too strongly on the short term because he's a guy built for the long term.

It’s been solid and I think you can definitely see signs of him being a big deal once he settles in a bit more.
I’ll also add that his run has definitely elevated Juice, which is awesome because he is great.

That's an issue with a lot of wrestling fans is they want immediate results because they've been burned by long term story telling in the past. Jay needs the right foil and Ricky is one of those guys because he can keep up with Jay in promos and also in the ring.

Average; a bit disappointing early on, IMHO.

I'm personally whatever on Jay White, I don't care anything for his overwrought and melodramatic stuff. But he's a big name and they have done him dirty, he just feels like a dude on the roster at this point.
If nothing else, with Forbidden Door right around the corner, he should have been given a hot start from the outset. If he's not featured in some significant way on that show, it's a waste.

Think if the who’s side is he on was Jay White and not Takeshita.

Pretty sure he's gonna be. David Finlay and Bullet Club vs Bullet Club Gold seems like a possibility, maybe Starks actively joins the original Bullet Club to combat them, and piss Jay off even further.

I went average but no fault of his own. Thought him and Juice were excellent last night. If he continues like that it’ll bump him.

I feel like this is too soon to be asking this; with AEW's roster size only the very top talent is featured weekly, so it's hard to get a handle on new debuts until 3, even 4 months from their first appearance. Juice himself has only got going in the last couple months. Jay Lethal took months before he was on television regularly.

IMO he debuted at the wrong time. Too much going on storyline wise and not enough compelling feuds for him. Even the Starks feud which I was excited about, feels like they're spinning the wheels

Kind of wish they wouldn't have gone right back to "Bullet Club" with him, but at least the most recent promo with Juice was good.

I never saw his njpw stuff, so I have nothing to compare with, but he hasn't blown me away with his runs in impact and aew. He's solid, but just hasn't wowed me yet.
