Execution = ππΌππΌ
I was excited at what this storyline could mean as a huge roster overarch, but it feels like it's just floundering and so many of the roster is uninvolved entirely, which makes it seem unimportant if one can continue to exist as normal alongside it.
my only real gripe was with Learning Tree getting involved
I'm letting it coast.
I'm not too invested in it but i do believe they have an end goal in mind and things will get exciting.
It doesn't spoil my opinion of the show but it doesn't really add much to it either at the moment.
14 year old me would have ate it up, which isn't a compliment.
The Cope feud is seriously lacking juice for me and feels like obvious filler. I still like them as a group, but the intrigue they started with is pretty faded at this point
Hasn't all been bad, but I'm tiring of it
It started out with a lot of potential, now it's just the same rinse and repeat bullshit every week with Wheeler Yuta run ins. Everyone but Mox is about as interesting as a bowl of vanilla ice cream π€·ββοΈ
Give the belt to Jay White and put this thing to rest for good.
Don't think they make the right call every time, and think Marina has been underutilised, but do think having something like this gives us interesting ways to elevate a whole lot of talent.
I do like them. But I hate seeing Mox taking such a weaselly approach. Cheap shots, coming in last, dirty wins - it is def heel. But Mox always felt more "anti" face OR heel. So it's been an adjustment.
They're not the most menacing, but they don't need to be, because of all the feuds within AEW. It's when an uneasy truce between 2-3 factions happens that they'll need to really up their game, or get beaten. Likely Omega-led, but imagine if a mega heel stable does it first (Callis) π
Things started off hot with them and now it's like what's the direction they are going? No Trios defense. The same thing all the time. No female aside from Willow has stepped up against Marina.
Give it direction again
I like this version of Moxley. Claudio and Marina look cool. But we need better heroes to make this story work.
Dec. it dropped to a π«³
And currently it's a solid π
No story progression. It's become repetitive. Ricochet/Swerve, Ospreay/Omega vs the Don Callis Family and Hangman's redemption arc are currently more compelling stories.
It's like when the movie is just alright, and the heel character makes up for that movie. We need both to blend in together for it to be good.
I see people liking this, but for me it's not hitting off.
Big MOX fan but I want better for the guy. Where all the negativity goes away from this Death Rider story. π«³
The Start was phenomenal, but the Story right now doesnt move any forward. Nothing happens, Cope and FTR add nothing to the Story which was basically about building new Stars. And neither Cope or FTR are new Stars.
Now π
I feel like this story's been going on long enough now where it's time that they allow AEW to get some wins against the Death Riders.
Let Cope and FTR take the Trios titles from them to start.
It started off interesting enough but now it feels aimless.
Now: π
It was interesting when they murdered Danielson and what could've come from that, but it has plateaued lately. It feels like the story is dragging it's arse and it hasn't progressed. I like a slow burner but fuck me.
They started so good and had everyone hooked to the story but they feel like a completely different group rn
If they go back to be killers instead of classic wrestling cowards heels and Mox starts having good matches again they can still save it
And using the trios champs more would help too
Not all doom and gloom but it's kind of the same thing repeated ad nauseam.
Cope and Jarrett leading the charge right now is pretty underwhelming.
Tying up the Trios belts with a faction in bigger stories and one champ who takes long absences mid-reign doesn't sit right with me.
I think AEW's problems have been how they are handling the faces in the fueds not the Death Riders themselves.
Just internet wrestling groupthink at this stage.
Doesnβt feel like itβs going anywhere.
Like me, I'm π

It's not exactly setting the world on fire, and it is dragging out a bit longer than would be ideal, but it's not nearly as terrible as some are making out. The level of pants wetting going on over it is just a wee bitty on the ridiculous side.
When they're in segments with Jericho, do cowardly heel things, or when Yuta low blows Jay White for the 12th time - πππ
