Doesn't mean you literally change the channel, just acts you aren't feeling for whatever reason.
AEW has been very good for the most part, so I really only have one: Archer. Just so uninteresting to me. Very little presence for a big man and his "beat up the crowd" schtick is the lamest. Hate his braid, his theme song.. Murderhawk Monster is a cool nickname, though.

Love Archer honestly, love how much of a psychopath he is, he's good in ring for me and also love his random beat up shtick, loved it in Japan too
For me I think it's still SCU, maybe more Sky right now because Bad Influence have been a better tag team combo, but they just need more direction aside from Sky just padding his win stat on DARK. Like that he got a new theme though.

I have no interest in SCU and think they sorely need just any bit of development on TV to be remotely interesting, but Archer and FTR actively detract from everyone and everything around them.

I don't see how they detract from everything around them actively. Archer puts on great matches especially great squashes, his with Pineapple Pete was probably Pineapple Pete's best showing even as a Squash, and FTR have had two very solid matches with Butcher and Blade and Bad Influence To actively detract for me you have to be a bad to dull character and bring nothing in the ring as well that is actively impressive at the moment... so I guess Mel would be on my list

Scorpio Sky. He's winning but I have no reason to care that he is. Guy is good in the ring, but he's in a promotion where even the worst performers are decent with the right opponents. It's not his fault, he needs purpose.
Joey Janela solo. He's just a grating tryhard.

Hmm, I think at the moment its Statlander.
This is more because I know she will be good in time and not everything clicks in-ring for her yet.
I watch dynamite the day after on fite TV, so its more of an 'I can keep one eye on this match/segment' whilst I multitask with something else'

I'm still very Meh on the Dark Order. Just not doing it for me. I want to like it and was a fan of Brodie Lee. However this just missing something. Early on I hated something but either it went away or something majorly changed for the better. Britt Baker was someone I had little interest is seeing. Now she much watch for me.

SCU just need something to do and they'd be fine to me. I don't even think they need a heel turn, just some kind of direction besides just... wrestling matches. Remember when Daniels made that Dark Order troll video? Good stuff.

For Archer, I don't find hoss squashes that fun to watch, and you have to sacrifice anyone under 6'5 to make one person look good so that a main eventer can beat them and they stay credible. And for FTR? They're a huge shadow over the entire tag division and made the Best Friends/Omega&Hangman match all about them, and they're definitely going to get the titles sooner or later, while doing dull shooty stuff about how they don't think Kenny can wrestle on their Twitter to make the Cornette fans happy.

Don't hate them, but DO were wayyy more interesting to me pre-Brodie. I think bringing him in as the Exalted One was a misfire that looks even worse since they had Jake freakin' Roberts available. Brodie as a babyface fighting The Dark Order would've been so much more interesting. Former brainwashed cult member finding redemption and fighting to stop another cult from wreaking havoc.

Brodie as a babyface fighting The Dark Order would've been so much more interesting. Pretty much me too. They are Meh, I don't hate them but I don't go out of my way to watch them. Brodie Lee I was expecting more wild man modern day Bruiser Brody style. I Jake is awesome as a mouth piece. They could had Archer and Jake as the leaders. A dark faction with evil intentions would been better. I say Archer for the Idea having a MEer in the group.

SCU definitely. They are what Cody called Spears, but as a tag team.

Jake as the Exalted One running the show, Uno and Grayson as the tag team, and Archer as the singles guy.

Ricky Starks - Just can't stand this guy, instant fast forward, I don't care who he's facing. Everything he does looks like a cheap knock off of someone else's cheap knock off. No originality on the mic, or in the ring, and nothing interesting about his look, all adds up to zero interest for me.
Luther - Do something, ANYTHING, besides pointing at your damn head, ffs! He's been in the business for two, or three, decades and this is the best he could come up with? Yikes.

I find Luther fascinating to watch for some reason and the high pitched complaining he's been doing in the ring is hilarious, but yeah, he realllly needs to cut down on the CONSTANT head pointing and tongue swirling shit.

Jericho, hes just never clicked with me and I've had 20 years of him. The episodes he was on commentary are the only ones I haven't been able to watch
SCU, daniels was good in early ROH but aside from that all three are very boring and bland
Colt Cababa, hes always just annoyed me. Honestly dont think I've ever seen one match of his I like, even against some of my favourites
FTR, not sure they are channel changers yet, but I was busy when i watched last weeks episode, looked up, didnt recognise who SCU were wrestling and just forwarded the match out of boredom. Pretty bad sign I I didn't even know who they were lol
Sammy Guevara is close but hes new so while I'm not enjoying him I can tolerate him

You know what, you're right, I forgot about his funny high pitch bitching. That just goes to show how bad the head pointing, and tongue swirling, ruins this guy for me. So much so that it completely negated it from my mind. Jericho needs to sit down with his boy Luther and help him sort this shit out.

The only channel changer-ish character for me was Mel and she's either gone or a complete non-entity now. Everyone else I find at least tolerable. Even SCU.

Cody is approaching that area for me. With the right opponent and right story he’s very watchable (vs. Dustin, vs. The Bucks, vs. MJF) but there are times where it feels forced. This recent run as TNT Champ has been hit or miss since it feels like he needs to hold it for a while, when it could easily be used to elevate other talent. Cody doesn’t need a title at this stage in AEW imo.
SCU are good in ring talent but have nothing to sink their teeth into. Katz’s Bob Holly schtick is already a fast forward on BTE, so I hope that doesn’t make the transfer to Dynamite.
Darby Allin’s promos aren’t meh. Got a “pretentious art house” vibe to them. In ring he’s amazing though.
Nyla. I don’t get the hype.
Joey Janela seems cool, but without a story he’s one of many good wrestlers around.
