I've spent quite a few years thinking this dude was being held back by shitty booking. I believe I was wrong. I think it might have just been him. I feel pretty smug right now after years of not seeing the appeal of him. Perfectly okay monster heel if booked exactly right, but that's about it.

AEW does not need Miro or Andrade. Both are wastes of time and energy. Yeah every time I see them both on TV I just can’t help think that both of them are missed opportunities. Whether it be their fault, AEWs fault or a combination neither of them are must see I get Tony doesn’t want to give WWE talent but honestly for these guys as is? Might as well if they want to AEW has lads like Ethan Page doing almost nothing, while Miro turns up when he likes and has the company hire his wife to do the storylines he wants.

He will give them back once their deals are done and they are washed(Malakai will be in his 40s once his deal is up for example)

I had high hopes for Ethan when he signed for AEW and then Tony just did nothing with him and seemingly has no plan for him going forward in AEW
Such a waste of his talent.

Such a waste of his talent. If you look at my post history, you'll see that I am perpetually irritated at AEW's misuse of Ego, which verges on negligence to me. I can't believe that he's not in the C2 instead of someone like Jay Lethal, I'm hoping he shows out against Kenny Omega this week and it forces Tony's hand to pushing him on AEW TV again.

Ethan really needs to get out of Matt Hardy's aura of suckiness and do his own thing again. I hope this match against Omega restarts his AEW career because out of all the guys on the roster, I think he'd be far and away the most justified in feeling misused.

I appreciate Miro because never before have we seen a wrestler be held down by their innermost desire to be the protagonist of Hitch II

I can see Miro and CJ pitching an angle where Ric Flair knocks up CJ and Miro the cuck helps raise the kid anyway. It'd be like their own spin on the angle with Ric and Lacey Evans.

I can't even pretend to enjoy this, it just stinks. CJ seems nice but I wouldn't have hired her, she doesn't really add anything IMO. But she's hot and flexible. And yeah. That's all I've got. And apparently her as well. Now that I say it though, I want to see the dude version of that. Who IS the dude version of that?

every once in a blue moon you get a seemingly self pitched storyline from a wrestler that kills their entire aura and this is one of them.
it is probably my least favorite part of all the shows except ric flair.
yes i am including raw, smackdown, nxt, lvl up, dynamite, collision, rampage, nacho libre, mucha lucha, lucha underground, the nickelodeon wwe show, the scooby doo wwe spin offs, tik toks of wwe supercard right below someone reacting to subway surfers and putting two cpus against each other in Here Comes the Pain. it is absolutely incredible how much I do not care about this storyline for someone that I previously mega f***ed with. please just get these two away from each other or have her be his manager full time, sending him out there to destroy people.

I'm so torn on Miro. On the one hand, even when he was Rusev and I'd only see his work when I'd get to see a given Rumble or Mania at a friend's house, he always stuck out to me as a guy who just "got it"; his movements, mannerisms, how he snapped off his offense, it all came off like a guy who understood what he could do and how to effectively use physical storytelling. He did plenty of good stuff in his early AEW run, too; sure, "The Best Man" was pretty dumb, but he did a good job maintaining the aura that he was liable to snap if provoked just the wrong way, and when he did and went full Redeemer it was pretty fantastic.
Ever since the weird thing where he basically refused to job and vanished for awhile because of it, though...yeah, it all feels off, and if indeed he's one of the people "looking to go back" to WWE or whatever (I hate making guesses at which wrestlers those might be, always feels unfair to them to just say 'oh yeah, of course, you can tell') then it's starting to impact his performance.
Basically, he went from feeling like a new man and a refreshed, updated character in AEW to seemingly regressing. I get that argument with Andrade, too; dude's at least putting on some very good matches of late, but there's this undercurrent of "this doesn't mean as much as it could", and given the drama there, as well, it's hard not to think most of that is coming from him.
So if, and I very much emphasize IF, these two are indeed among the "just waiting to go back" chirpers in the back, then, well, so be it, but I get Khan not wanting to just let people out of their contracts and let them go running back to WWE when he can do things like use Andrade effectively as a contender-but-not-top-favorite in the C2.

He's not even throwing a fish this is objectively a worse story than the Dolph one Well, that won the Gooker Award. Maybe Miro is making a late push to grab a second title.

Miro can be amazing when he's on, but so often he isn't and it feels like he's long since past the point of particularly caring. Plus he desperately needs to learn to shut up on Twitter every once in awhile.
Andrade just sucks. Like, he's technically good I guess, but there's just no spark there. Dude was dragged to an amazing match one time by Johnny Gargano and outside of that he's only ever been dreadfully boring, and then on top of that he also just seems like a massive asshole.

CJ Perry’s acting has been sub-porn level. The whole angle has just been absolute trash.

I hope this match against Omega restarts his AEW career because out of all the guys on the roster, I think he'd be far and away the most justified in feeling misused. Ego got screwed over by the suck that was The Firm. Everything pointed to him being built up to take the belt off of OC (or at least be a challenger), but AEW basically decided that The Gunns were the only ones they'd get away from that stink right away. Cass took some time but he got out of it. Now the good thing for Ego is he's been doing a good job in ROH, so hopefully they reward him for that. As for Miro, going by my theory of Miro just wanting CJ to have a job, I wonder if this is Tony trying the old reverse psychology of "your idea isn't working" to try and get Miro to play ball. Not saying he is or he should do that, but just reading the tea leaves of Miro continuously turning stuff down makes me wonder... at least with Andrade even if he's a pain they know they can get very good matches out of him
