I mean the Mox stuff is completely wrong, he has had a direction the entire time. This is all a continuation of the Hangman/Mox feud. Like it really isn't difficult to follow at all. The Elite stuff....you aren't supposed to know exactly what is going to happen seeing as they just kind of started with that last week. As for the Gunns I don't give a f*** what anyone else says, they are great. The whole 4 pillar thing....needs time. If they are planning on that as the title match for DoN? Doesn't do much for me. That should be a main event of a massive Dynamite. I just don't think things are nearly as bad as a lot of people want to make it out to be. Like yes, Tony makes dumb decisions and I don't agree with everything he does but to say it is hard to follow or is disjointed? Nah you lose me there. End of the day(to me) the good outweighs the bad by a pretty considerable margin. Same as the bad outweighs the good to me in WWE.
What AEW has over WWE right now is the number of fun matches you can watch in a given week.
WWE pretty much has formuliac meaningless matches on its TV shows.
Storywise, the Bloodline story trumps everything, but AEW generally has the most compelling stuff.
However, SOME of the booking makes very little sense. Wardlow's arc has been piss poor... at best. The Mox/Hangman story makes sense, but it was not very compelling. BBC turning heel and an Elite reunion being teased certainly makes it more interesting to me. The Callis stuff, I do not care about though.
The 4 pillars stuff was a great promo, I wonder how they follow it up. I agree with you though, it should not be a PPV match.
The Acclaimed/Gunns stuff is garbage. I love both teams, I really do, but the story around Billy was not very interesting. The Gunns vs FTR stuff, meh. I am willing to give it a chance as the match(es) should be very good, but the story so far, meh.
At the end of the day, I do agree with your overall premise though. The good tends to outweigh the bad and the show is generally entertaining.
