Common Sense vs AEW Logic

[Susan "Poison" Candy]

I made a thread like this for the WWE thread back in 2019 that I figured the time has come to do one for AEW. All we have to do is find an old or current section of a AEW storyline, put out a common sense solution to the plot, put out what AEW did instead to insult people's intelligence, then figure out in kayfabe terms what are they thinking trying to accomplished that..

Example:

Plot: Matt Hardy gets his ass kicked by Andrade and Matt's old friends and while a father and son come out to help him, his brother decides to not only wait for his theme to hit BUT also decides to dance while said brother gets his ass kicked.

Common Sense Solution: Jeff Hardy would run out to help his brother as well as Darby Allin & Sting and making up for the despicable display that happened between him and Sting back in 2011.

The AEW Logic Solution: Wait backstage til his music hits. Once music hits I need to dance. My brother can hold out a bit longer til I do my thing.

What was he thinking: Jeff Hardy is seen as a shitty brother hogging the spot light and posing on the entrance ramp before deciding to help his brother from a 6 on 1 ass kicking.

What are the other examples of this nonsense?

Plot: The women’s division is bad. It’s a combination of talent pool, time allotment, and story depth, but fans really get behind Hayter, Shida, Riho, Statlander etc when they wrestle.

Common solution: Put those wrestlers on TV weekly in simultaneous storylines.

AEW: Britt and Jade.

I’m not trying to troll or be anti-aew etc. It’s just how the pattern comes off when you’re frustrated about that division

All wrestlers have a computer chip in their shoe and when they go to come out from gorilla they that chip is read and automatically plays their theme music. Jeff wasn't waiting for his music to play, that's just when he managed to make it from his locker room to step on that thing to read the computer chip. There was a toy line that explains it all years ago.

Yeah that or the sound guy sees it and presses a button.

Plot: Punk gets injured early on in his title reign, isn’t forced to relinquish it, Mox is made interim champion and busts his ass while Punk is “still champion”.

Common Sense: Have Punk drop the title. Pivot in storylines. When Punk comes back, have him organically work back up to a title shot and use it to enhance him and the storylines.

AEW: Punk’s still champion, Punk’s still champion, Moxley isn’t, this is not predictable.
