the only reason that I'd dint say Scorpio Sky is because he was missing 90% of the year.
But you are right that is still too much, he made the list

[Super Duper Dragunov]

More:
Danhausen - Dude is your top merch seller, treat him like it.

Kip Sabian - This gimmick has SO much potential (go to WWE with it Kip)

Eddie Kingston - Future world champ if he was given anything resembling momentum

Lee Moriarty, Daniel Garcia, AR Fox, Ethan Page (a million more people) - this could be your strong upper mid-card

Abadon - See: Sabian, Kip


Less:
Sammy - Dude could retire and I wouldn't miss him.

Moxley - The man could go on vacation for a whole year and I wouldn't complain

Jade - It's Jade. She's gorgeous, but she's been pushed way stronger than she's able to deliver.

Tony Khan - just stay away completely. No Twitter, no scrums, no showing up on Dynamite for reasons. Go away, and don't talk.

[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

MORE:

Danhausen - There's really no reason that the #1 non-WWE merch seller in all of wrestling should be a peripheral comedy character. I get that less is more with his gimmick, but let him have some meaningful matches and storylines and see what happens.

Top Flight and AR Fox - Now that Darius Martin is healthy I think it is time for Top Flight to get a legitimate push. Since the Acclaimed has a stranglehold on the tag division right now (and rightfully so) I would love to see the Top Flight/AR Fox trio get a run with those belts this year.

RUSH - He's already had a really solid AEW run, but the dude just oozes star quality to me, and I think AEW needs to take the next step and elevate him to main event level. I want to see him have either a lengthy TNT/All-Atlantic Title run or feud for the World Title this year.

Swerve - I think Swerve is used well in AEW, and obviously is on TV a lot, so when I say I want to see "more" of him, I mean that I want to see him take that next step into true main event level. He's honestly more suited for a heel World Title run than MJF is in my personal opinion, and could easily be the top heel in the company.

Dalton Castle - It will be a sin if he gets relegated to ROH Honor Club purgatory. Dude's a star and has knocked it out of the park every time he's been on AEW television. He needs a sustained run.

The Embassy - Same as above for me. I never expected to enjoy Brian Cage getting back on TV as much as I have, but AEW shows just feel "right" to me with him on them. The Embassy is a cool faction, and I don't want to only be able to see them on a subscription service I don't especially want to pay for at the moment.

Statlander: I just want her to have a healthy, successful, year and finally dethrone Jade for the TNT title.

LESS:

AEW doesn't really overexpose anyone with only 3 hours of television each week, so I only have 2 choices largely based on their position on the card.

MJF: This will be a controversial pick, I know, and I don't necessarily mean that I want to see less MJF on AEW TV. I just mean that I want to see much less "bidding war of 2024" MJF on my screen. I hate those kind of "real life" storylines in wrestling, and I especially hate when they are tied to the main character/storyline in the entire company. If he can pivot off of that, then great, but I am not looking forward to an entire year of "subtle" references to his real-life contract status.

Jade: Only insofar as I think it's time for her to take an L and move onto the next phase of her career. I thoroughly enjoy her work, but the winning streak has gotten stale.
