I was trying to figure out when it got weird. For me it started when Kenny lost the title and took (a much-needed break), then the whole Cody-Sammy TNT title thing, and Cody leaving. With Kenny back and the new leadership structure in place, I hope things settle down. I hope a lot of this is overblown, but I do think it Tony Khan got in over his head trying to be all things to everyone. The injury bug isn’t helping either. It’s like termites eating the ship while it’s trying to turn around. I agree a lot of it over blown at the end of the day…they’re grown ass folks and sometimes grown ass folks don’t get along… But goddamn if it ain’t a treasure trove of memes. If nothing the obligatory MS Paint Year In Review Thread in December is gonna be liiiiiit 😂

I for one can’t wait for one of the elaborate, animated ones documenting Eddie v Sammy

That whole MJF weirdness should have been a sign that everything was about to explode. All of this happening in such a short amount of time isn't because of something new, this is shit that's been simmering for awhile, but always able to be stopped before it got out of control. Before that the only things were the Codyverse and Sammy breaking up with his fiance, as the big drama. Don't know if it was something like guys like Cody, Kenny, Bucks, and Hangman being able to put out beefs before it got bad and having 2 of them gone allowed it all to flare up. But MJF's unhappiness was the first thing to pop off and began the chain reaction. Nah the big drama before this was TK calling Swole a dogshit wrestler which was DEFCON 1 compared to what's going on now
He said she wasnt good enough on twitter, ironically speaking Dixie said that to her roster on National TV 13 years ago before Hogan arrival.

I said it before, Kenny was missed backstage, once he left is when the backstage stuff started getting out of control, Kenny speech to the lockerroom felt more like "You guys need to get your sht together" in the kind way.

I mean, it was either let Kenny try and shut that shit down like his name is Neegan…. Or Plan B. Plan B is Brody King slipping into Gods Hate mode and wrecking people like it’s 3 in the afternoon on day 2 of Sound and Fury fest. Personally I think they made the smart choice.

That was what, 15 years ago? 2022, the longest decade since 2020.

Another bit of weirdness that went under a lot of people’s radar:
The same death rider that helped squash Punk? Yeah, Rush kicked out of it. Everyone looked confused. Mox included. It was a clear case of “Rush being Rush” to anyone who knows him but, yeah.

"Shoot me, like with a gun, here I have one, it's powerful enough that it'll be believable when you pin me, I don't go down to weak shit brother"

"Shoot me, like with a gun, here I have one, it's powerful enough that it'll be believable when you pin me, I don't go down to weak shit brother" I’d bet $5 Eddie has pulled a gun from the waist band of his jeans and offered it to some guy on a random indie one shot and said some variation of the same thing to the guy. …..I mean that’s absurd. And satire. And in no way ever happened. But it’s Eddie so you know you paused for a second and thought “ya know…” Don’t lie. We all thought it. 😁

If the AEW video game comes with a backstage mode, it'll outsell GTA V.

The issue here isn't, for me at least, that this stuff is happening. You would expect it in any company, especially when dealing with the fragile egos and politics that seems to forever haunt the wrestling world.
My issue is that Tony can clearly see all this is going on, must have experienced and seasoned people around him who can be pointing out potential issues coming down the tracks, and the guy does nothing.
He is so desperate to be the face of friendly creative anti-WWE way sentiment that he is letting that get in the way of actually running a safe, productive backstage.
Guy needs to get a handle on things, and soon, or bring in someone to run talent relations who can.

To add Warner Discovery has asked AEw to tone down language Not a huge deal overall and honestly I do think some of the swearing has gone overboard. Doesn't offend me but some of the promos seem to swear just to swear It's so weird because they used to have a "One swear a show/hour" edict, probably should stand by that

Is there like some unwritten law that there has to be one wrestling company going through shit at any given time or else the entire genre collapses in on it itself? For like one time in modern history it ISN’T WWE, and almost straight away a whole bunch of mad shit happens in AEW.

I still say this is all super over-blown. people were just so happy to have an alternative to WWE that they freak out any time anything doesn't work out the way its supposed to and start acting like the sky is falling. IMO its kind of getting old.

IMO its kind of getting old. Agreed. I think there absolutely are issues that Khan needs to get worked out, but I have faith they'll be taken care of. I find the drama more funny than anything.
