Yep. Now she's Blair Davenport in NXT. Sucked in AEW. Still sucks now. Blair Davenport is also a terrible ring name, who the f*** thought Davenport was a memorable ring name? All I think of is Seth Rollins' Iowa hometown lol Maybe she really likes couches.

It's always sounded like the name of a snobby rich girl to me, not a goth or whatever she is.

Just like how Buddy Matthews sounds like the name of a Varsity Blond and not a spooky metalhead guy, to me.

Reminds me of when we were brainstorming the act (shame I can’t credit the poster since it’s a deleted account): Okay so if I've got this straight we've decided the Blair Davenport gimmick is a high school bully bigoted drag queen businessman. You've got a lot to live up to, Bea, but I'm sure you can make it work.

Malakai Black. He has everything required to be a big star. His first loss to Cody really halted his momentum but they could have still made him a singles star after that.

Obviously he’s been a big name, but I’m surprised Bryan never won a world title. I know he didn’t really want to unless he HAD to, but Mox’s third world title reign, the one where he was suppose to go on vacation would of been perfect

Non-obvious answers: Cody Rhodes, the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Paige Van Zant, Adam Copeland, Mercedes Moné. ... Huh? Cody was a big name for the company, even if he didn't go for the title he was a prominent fixture in AEW until he left especially in early years Kenny Omega was a record breaking world champion across AEW and multiple promotions at once at one point and has been the top star for AEW at points The Young Bucks have won the tag and trios titles and have always been presented as a top presence Chris Jericho won the world title, the ROH Title, and has been a fixture of the company since day one CM Punk was the top star of AEW at one point and given every chance to succeed Copeland's been here for like three months Mone hasn't even debuted yet The only one on here that seems like a valid name is VanZant, which is fair, thought she might be used more than she in the end was, thought she had some potential there.

Kip Sabian Rush Lee Moriarty. I didn't really expect him to be world champion, by this point, but I did expect him to be about on Daniel Garcia's level. Best Friends and The Dark Order, just baffling how little TK sees in them. I never believed Starks or Hobbs would get a real main event shot, but it's annoying my cynicism there is so correct. This is absolutely the worst aspect of AEW, for me. They have this amazing roster, and the dude in charge just completely lacks the attention span to use most of it. That's the dark side of the Forbidden Door. The cool side is that we get to see Ishii, Suzuki, and CMLL Luchadores showcasing themselves in losing efforts. The not-so-cool side is that a lot of people don't get any TV time. That was the point I was trying to make on the Forbidden Door thread.

Rush has been injured (I think he worked half the tournament injured) and has had visa issues, so he's not been available. Rush is coming back soon and is teasing adding new male and female members to LFI. I'm excited for that fact. Rush has been fantastic since coming to AEW and LFI is a cool faction so far. Rush has really stood out for me whenever he's given a chance. Preston Vance needs more of a chance, too.

Pentagon, Fenix and Brian Cage should all be main eventers fighting for the title.
I've no idea why Pentagon and Fenix especially after being wasted.

2.0 I never thought they'd be like mega stars... but I feel like JAS massively hurt them. I mean do they even have a tag name any more? Menard is admittedly doing better than Parker, and while I loved Menard's 0-60 madness, Parker's more subdued comedy bounced off it perfectly. . They really do need (outside of a true push where they’re winning titles) a less indyriffic name than 2.0. You’re the second version of what, again? AEW missed the boat on Sonny Kiss hard. She’s got charisma for days. I don’t think Omega annihilating her in five seconds did her any favors.
