It’s silly if likes of McIntyre are annoyed by it. WWE would be exactly the same place, doing exactly the same numbers with or without McIntyre. You heard the reaction last night, Drew has never gotten that reaction in his life. Everyone is going to be talking about this for months now. That buzz alone is worth the money.
AEW completely fumbled it by letting their EVPs (who also make no difference to the product) dictate what should and shouldn’t be done. They had so much buzz and anticipation, but couldn’t see past it to do, what would have been, the most exciting program of their careers.
One of their next shows, the three of them are in a tag match with Jericho with no build that no one cares about “to be on the show”, while their most over talent shows up to rapturous applause for the competition.
For shame, Tony Khan.
