@BeAware The most common thing I get people saying is exactly what you just said: the stories are weak. It felt like they had them initially mapped out upon launching (Omega/Page, Dark Order, Pinnacle, etc) and it was obvious (in a positive way) that Jericho, Moxley, Omega, Page were going to be their first slate of world champions, but when it should have then been MJF with a babyface chasing him for the title, Tony Khan jumped the shark and rushed the strap onto Punk who didn't even want it that soon (and clearly didn't mesh with Page). Tony Khan never knew how to utilise Punk. Which supports your claim that he wouldn't know how to utilise The Rock. Even Mercedes has already cooled off. People's careers are not benefitting from a run in AEW the way it once seemed.
