I k ow when he won it. It was memorable but since then he never defends it and most of the time sits at the top of bleachers just brooding.the belt could have went to a defendingchampion like stares. Evens. Sydel. Pac. Cage. scorpio sky Etc. At least code defended weekly. For being the face of AEw new viewers wont be impressrd I don't think?

He's defending the belt against Brian Cage at New Years Smash more than likely.
Also I really dont mind the TNT Title getting a small break with how much it had been defended. Make the next defense a big deal.

Surprised there wasn’t one a year ago, to be honest. AEW fans have been high on Allin as one of their top prospects from day one.

Cody has kept the focus firmly on himself for the first month or so. What I'm saying is the TNT Belt has not been booked as central to the feud with Team Taz thus one can't say Darby has been a flop, yet. I hope this changes going forward. Cody has two other ongoing angles he should leave the fight with Team Taz to Darby and maybe the Gun Club and/or Johnson. Johnson badly needs exposure.

I know AEW loves their long term booking but this is going at snails pace.
It’s like Dymamite is either filled throw away tag mag matches or shows that could pretty much be ppvs.
I know this leading to Cody, Darby, & Sting vs. Cage, Hobbs, and Starks but that match isn’t probably happening till Revolution which is in late February.
But Darby needs to fight Hobbs soon and then fight Cage title for title in a main event.
But right now it just feels diminishing returns with Sting, where now he just points a bat and leaves and Darby sits in the cheap seats.
Seriously the “turtle boy” was one the best burns of the year.

It hasn't exactly been long, shockingly enough. Wait to shit all over him until he's having shitty defenses or something.

Sting's been here for three weeks, it doesn't hurt to establish where the lines are drawn, as for it going at a snail's pace, idk about that either since it's only been like a month. I also dont agree about the tag matches being throwaway, The Bucks have been giving teams a chance, SCU is teasing a breakup, FTR vs Jurassic Express seems to be on its way, Inner Circle have been using them to create tension, among other things. Like NXT with the girls, AEW has a strong diverse tag pool, and I think they'd be stupid not to use the teams abound in it for good matches, in either tag or Trios situations. We'll see how it develops into New Years Smash, I see Darby taking on Cage at one of the shows. Hobbs might need a bit to build up before he would get the shot, Cage is ready now.

Darby Allin hasn’t done enough to be called credible or not lol.
Wait till he starts defending.

Give it time. He only wrestles once every couple of weeks anyway, probably because he keeps getting injured

I dunno who Darby Allen is lol. That said he should defend it more then he has. By the time he wrestles Cage he's gonna have the belt almost 2 months without defending it. But no reason to overreact he's a fine champ.

People complain about Vince dropping pushes after a few weeks, writing guys off as failures over nothing, I'm not sure we need AEW to start doing the same.

I think Darby needs a couple of defences under his belt. It's been a huge jump to go from Cody and his weekly matches, to Darby who hasn't wrestled much (Brodie Lee's reign was really too short)
