Cole still does fine in matches, but his character's definitely stale, as we've seen most of the current act from ROH and NXT, to his ongoing AEW run.
Post any suggestions (serious or funny) for solving that problem. Bonus points for any Britt Baker ideas as well.
Mine:
Adam Coke (from a typo in the IWGP title spoiler thread) Slarm Jarms Spokesman (Attack of the Show reference) Face Turn
What about lip-synching to popular songs?

I said it before, turn him face and let him be the Cole that buried Kross.

When a guy hasn’t even been in the company a year and there’s already threads on how to freshen him up it’s pretty clear how much of a bust his AEW run has been.

It makes little sense that he is never on screen with his girlfriend. It seemed as if they were going more in that direction at one point but they abandoned it.

Yea some people here are tired of him because they've been watching him do this character for like 8 years..he's incredibly over with the live crowd and the vast majority of fans so yea real "bust" eh? Also to add here they can't really do much with turning him face or changing his character because the entire deal is he's in a holding pattern right now as is much of the rest of the Undisputed elite because they're waiting for Kenny to return to run the angle they want to run with that.

As much as I appreciate AEW for actually plotting things out long-term vs whatever heck you want to call the WWE booking philosophy, I feel like this year in particular, they've come off as absolutely terrible at improvising around wrenches in specific parts of the long-term plans. Like, I imagine Kenny probably knew at least ballpark how long he was going to be out when he first stepped aside, and I can't imagine that didn't make its way to TK or whomever, but like... if you know Kenny's not going to be back for 9 months to a year to continue your big plotline, why keep Cole effectively frozen in place character-wise? Now that you point it out, it makes sense, it's like they're keeping him as a save state of how he was when Kenny stepped out so that when Kenny's ready to go they can just resume that save file like nothing's changed. Granted this is by no means the only plotline that just seems like it's dragged the hell out this year, but it's at least one where I can vaguely see the logic (while still thinking it's stupid if that's what is indeed going on.)

He moves a lotta merch. He’s a pretty prominently featured regular performer (current injury aside). Yeah…total bust. (/s)

Make him Dave Meltzer’s other Juggling Brother.
Or have him get amnesia and think he’s Michael Cole instead.

Dress him like a coal miner and have him knock out his opponents with lumps of coal.

Make the damn trios titles already and have UE wrestle mostly in that division.
Or give himn access to a time machine, why not.

Keep him off TV some weeks. Let him have a maximum of one segment per week some weeks. Maybe a face turn?

Turn him face and adopt the mannerisms he has streaming. He's like the most likable guy ever outside of wrestling.
