I love you homos longing for the "good old days" of AEW. They were never good. They were mediocre at best, then Tony Coke decided to bring in all the WWE castoffs and rejects, instead of building and improving on it's own mediocrity. In a way, letting Cody go back to the WWE could have been the best thing for them. His ego was out of control (remember that faggots? I do.), and he didn't fit in with the rest of the show. They could have built off that to make their show more cohesive.
As it was, AEW started as mostly indie shitters, but they had some good people as producers that could have taught some of them how to actually wrestle and not constantly injure each other and themselves. They could have been taught how to build stories in the ring, etc, etc. And if Tony had put his foot down to these delusional self-marks, it would have happened.
Now, no one wants to listen. everyone is hurting each other, and Tony, instead of growing into a passable booker, has too much on his plate and is now just throwing everything at the wall, hoping something sticks.
Under normal circumstances, I'd be a bit upset at this, as I really wanted something to watch other than WWE's clown show, but instead, I couldn't be more delighted, as AEW has the biggest bunch of turbo faggot fans on the planet. You're getting exactly what you deserve. BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...lol.
