Hes a really good wrestler and managed to get over by calling himself a number so clearly knows what he's doing but his current character is awful and needs resetting badly.

I like Shawn Spears, not sure why they insist on pushing him as a singles guy though. I'll admit up front, I don't follow social media stuff, or Dark for that matter. But what ever happened with Spears search for a tag partner? His manager got an actual good tag team in his stable, so the motivation for it stopped making as much sense. Plus, Tully was absent for a bit for pandemic reasons, so the angle had been on hold for a while anyway.

He's a good in-ring worker, but character-wise he's been very stale for awhile now. If he goes to Impact as part of a talent exchange, it could be a good change of pace for him.

It’s ok, he’s just getting his certificate in being buns. It’s a very lengthy process, you wouldn’t believe the paperwork. *pokes head in room* Did someone say buns?!

I've said it before but his place on the card in the WWE was about his ceiling... the problem is the WWE refused to even use him even in that position.
Spears at least seemed like he understood that and just wanted to do SOMETHING as to why he left... but they tried pushing him as an upper mid card at first... and it just ... didn't work.

Guys a solid hand. Never going to be a main eventer but he doesn't need to be. Put him in a team or stick him on Dark working with the younger guys. Still a better position than his WWE run afforded him. At least he's being used.

Dude suffered from Swaggeritis.
He is much better as a goofy and comedy persona and yet he keeps being made a SRS character.

He deactivated his social media accounts either this is a great work or something happened behind the scenes

His manager got an actual good tag team in his stable, so the motivation for it stopped making as much sense. Plus, Tully was absent for a bit for pandemic reasons, so the angle had been on hold for a while anyway. The pandemic in general killed the gimmick, because it hampered AEW's ability to use outside talent not from QT's school in the search angle, plus the Nightmare Factory tapings were missing a lot of names in the midcard and upper-tiers, so Spears was needed as a mid to upper-card singles talent to fill out the TV title tournament, especially since his history with Cody was a good way of filling a couple weeks of angles.
