Looking at it, Khan clearly resented having to put it on her and got her off tv as soon as he could. God forbid she is talented and over with the crowds Khan resented her? That’s a reach. As Champ she spent her time on Dark disappearing for months at a time and only appeared whenever a token defense was needed. She got no vignette or promo time which they could easily fix with subtitles if they weren't lazy. Twice her ceremony, as year long champ and 50 wins got ruined. Deeb as NWA Champ got more screen time than Shida did as AEW Champ

My biggest disappointment with AEW has been the use of Shawn Spears...I was so stoked when he hit Cody that it meant he was going to be a featured player and nope...Hell even the Sportscaster style thing they did was intriguing but he is still considered a less important wrestling chairman than La Parka and that upsets me.

This week has me extremely worried about the women’s division. Nobody is stepping up. And because the booking isn’t going to do a damn thing for them, somebody has to. Impact's KO division can be messy and has meh title reigns, they booked Steelz poorly. But it always has a lot going on, so it never gets boring. AEWs has little going on, so poor reigns and feuds stand out more.

Would you treat your champion and one of your top talents either male or female in such a way?

I had higher hopes for Spears off the jump too but I think in being MJF’s lackey, he did some of his best work.

Very appreciative of the fact that topics like this can be discussed now without setting people off (myself included)

Spears has one of the coolest entrances on AEW He really found his groove and was super entraining as MJF's lackey, Friedman taking off really hurt Spears sucks since I don't recall him being on TV since then

On the topic of DO, anytime they come up or appear now I think “Dark order is dead”. So, yeah. Andrade. Pillman Jr. That’s on them though. Ethan Page and Dante Martin are getting close too. in the case of Dante he's still very, very young so plenty of time

The whole roster.
Now that Trips is running the E and folks are hurling themselves throat first onto him, He can do no wrong.
I have no doubt he'll take back whatever talent isn't signed up to AEW. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a personal note. Thank you Tony for giving me wrestling back for a little while..
What a wild ride it was.

I generally don't mind performers I like staying in undercard roles, provided they're given the chance to let their talents shine. The best years of WWF and WCW were like that.
For me, the problem is the rigid divide between Dark and the TV product. A whole lot of problems could be solved if every Dynamite included a basic three-minute recap package for the previous week's YouTube content. I have no doubt Excalibur could narrate it fast enough.

... what? Cassidy has won major feuds against Adam Cole and Chris Jericho, just had an absolute banger against Will Ospreay on PPV, sells a ton of merch, and is consistently one of the most over wrestlers in AEW. Just because he isn't a champion doesn't mean he's being misused. I genuinely believe how would be a champion in WWE Sure he'd love to be fighting over the 24-7 title with the rest of the cannon fodder.

Darius has some of the worst luck. Tears his acl. Then as soon as he gets back, he gets into a car accident and goes immediately back on the shelf.
Dante is also only 21 years old. That he even has this much of a prominent spot in national company is unreal. His entire career is ahead of him.

The fact that Sonny Kiss couldn't even get a token Dynamite or Rampage appearance when they were running vignettes for her during Pride Month was absolutely depressing.
