I’m basically one of the Monty Python Holy Grail people yelling “get on with it” at this point. We’ve been the prologue whatever this story is for ages now. And that’s precisely why it feels so boring.
Thats how it was with the Bucks, some people here reacting in similar fashion but then the Bucks heel turn turned out to be entertaining and dropped the titles at the right time.

Honestly I'd still call the Bucks some of the most consistently awful characters in the company. They can go in the ring, no doubt, but their heel act is really obnoxious and probably should've just ended at Full Gear.

KInda feel like they are gonna be phasing it out soon if the whole Undisputed Reunion goes the direction people think it's gonna. My thing is, I think The Bucks are way better and more entertaining as heels, when they were faces it almost felt like they couldn't wait to BE heels... so maybe if they find a sorta tweener ground it'll work best

That vagueness got cut by the heel turn in what? A month or two? Less? As people have pointed out Cody’s teased “shades” since Brodie/Darby. That’s. A while lol.

The passing of Brodie changed a lot of storylines lets be honest.
If he didnt pass away, besides getting him and Hangman feuding we couldve gotten more progression with dark haired Cody, Cabana development in DO(when he was wondering if joining DO was right decision), Tay joining DO, etc.

But he was still teasing heel tendencies with Darby. Which was after lol

True, and that was dropped along with the Sting feud that was also teased, that period of AEW(late 2020) it seemed there was a lot rewriting/last min changes.

He's not out here cutting promos about magic beans and quoting Sylvester the Cat so nah, we aren't at that point yet. He's def bullshitting and stringing us along tho Unlike Roman, he has direction in his character

No, he's just still pushing being the face despite getting booed. Just as delusional. The only difference is the length, so far. The other differences being WWE audibly censoring the boos and them just stubbornly pushing ahead, I feel like Cody is nodding a bit to this, but he is actively pushing for the boos and disdain to accelerate and stay consistent and it's pretty blatant. So what you're saying is that he is blatantly being roman 2016 and this is good because this time we're all in on it

And Roman 2016 would have never dropped two matches in a row to Malakai Black

Whether he's turning heel eventually or not, currently he's a face who's being booed out of the building. That's a failure. AEW and Cody should care more about what fans want than what Cody wants

AEW and Cody should care more about what fans want than what Cody wants It's a failure if it actively drives people off the product and it's not doing that. Cody actively continues to get some of the highest ratings of anyone in the company In the end I do see this leading to a conclusion, Cody himself hinted to a bizarre ride in store on the Guevara vlog, I get giving the fans what they want, and AEW does that almost every time, but in the end if this reaches the point it looks like it will, hopefully most fans will be satisfied or want to see more. Getting there has been tedious for some, but this isn't an at large failure just yet, they still have time to get to the goal.

Whether we on the board like Cody or not he (for the most part) has shown to be very smart with booking. He vs the Factory was absolutely a dud, but he does know how to get most of his opponents over.
I'm taking a wild guess and day Gargano shows up in Cleveland and takes the title

After that promo with Lambert, I think this thread should be about both Cody and Brandi.
Because they both have a serious disconnect between how they see themselves, and what the fans see. If it was just Cody, I would say he knows what he's doing. But both of them?
I could go further with Brandi, but not only is it against forum rules, I don't think that can of worms fit the forum demographic.

That Brandi/Lambert segment was an all time awful segment in AEW. Just top to bottom terrible.
Also I have to reiterate that mentioning the guy by name on screen that's caused a lot of hate and shit from crap people to a lot of the roster, in particular the women's side, just feels like a slap in the face that everyone involved should know better than to do.

Figures I decided to listen to a Lambert promo for the first time in months and that's what I got. Awful, awful segment.

As someone who loves a good, oddball Brandi promo, I was entertained.
Lambert seemingly having no qualms about fighting a lady SHOULDN'T be funny and yet here we are

When you put Dan Lambert up against Cody and Brandi, the current most toxic characters on the roster….that’s a recipe for disaster.
