I like most people in AEW but I have to say Hager. Everything about him is just so boring.

Hager is fine when he's in his element. Unfortunately for him, "long singles matches" aren't his element.

Unpopular opinion, but Kenny Omega is my main one.
Also Matt Hardy, Chuck Taylor, Colt Cabana, and Janela. All for varying reasons.

I've tried to get into Kenny's stuff since he was in NJPW because of the hype. But I just don't see it. A lot of his mannerisms and expressions kind of grate on me. I could be wrong, but I feel like his best stuff has only been when he's working with wrestlers who are extremely talented like Okada or Tanahashi. The Bucks, it's kind of funny because I don't care for their matches or their wrestling personas, but I have a soft spot for them because they were really cool when I met them.

Sadly, Hager.
The guy is this generation's Dan Severn, albeit bigger: A great athlete who is legitimately tough and can kick anybody's butt, but has no mic skills and negative charisma on his own.
Add to that the stunning lack of psychology at all in his work and... Yeah. Even the "spot monkeys" (as Broken Matt would call them) have psychology for pops from a crowd. Hager is just there, sucking the air out of the room while going through the motions.

Hager, SCU, Luthor, Brandy.
Even though I've stuck up for him in the past, I do have to say Cody is making his way there now. Like, I don't know if it was just the fact Hager was in the match or the fact every one of Cody's matches are the most predictable matches, but even though the match itself was fine I just couldn't give a damn about it last night.

Shocked it took this long to get to Brandi. She's like the #1 with a bullet X-Pac Heat character in AEW. Everything they try with her sucks. I wouldn't say Janela is an instant channel changer for me but he's basically useless if he can't be a death match wrestler.
Hager is someone that just needs a manager or valet. He's fine as Jericho's muscle, but if he's going to do more than that why not just make his wife part of his act? She's smoking hot and seems to have a natural flair for being a wrestling heel.

For me it's Hager and SCU. I liked SCU at first but I've soured on them, and I never liked Hager.

Archer, and it's not even close. When you've got big guys like Luchasaurus and Wardlow, being a big guy who's good in the ring isn't enough to hold my interest. He's the Dolph Ziggler of hosses, basically. Also, I find his gimmick of no selling strikes really, really corny, and pulls me out of the match every single time.

Jack Hager. I have no time for this dude, and it's so annoying they keep insisting on putting him in long and boring matches. I wish AEW hadn't wasted their time with him.
Shawn Spears is another who does very little for me. I feel Tully is totally wasted on him. If he wants to hang around as an enhancement guy, fine. But they keep repackaging him in the search for something interesting, and it never sticks. I thought the comedy route they were teasing might have been best, just because it may have freed up Tully for something more interesting, but instead now he's got a black glove... neat...

Brian Cage.
Maybe it's the fact that I spent decades following a product that glorified inhumanly jacked hosses, but of all the guys in AEW with power-based styles, I find him the least entertaining. I also fear for both his health (what the hell is he taking?) and the health of his opponents, should that finisher eventually go wrong.

Private Party and the Young Bucks are, in-ring, almost everything I hate in wrestling.
While I appreciate his aesthetic, I don't "get" Darby Allin.
Riho. I've yet to see what the hype was about.

Archer, Janela, Best Friends, and SCU are the biggest show-killers for me. Cody's getting there. Hager's also pretty terrible when he's being given a spotlight as opposed to just being the big dumb goof in the background.
Not a gigantic fan of Cage either. Taz is really just utterly wasted on a guy this generic.

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. Mel was on a recent Dark and looked a little bit better, albeit not a ton.
