A sounding board would be a good idea yeah I agree but I think a major problem is that pro wrestling fans just don’t have the attention span of 20 years ago. We live in an age of now now now. People don’t give people time to make things work. We get two weeks and if it doesn’t work pull the plug. - ThreadSky

I agree with that too! But in that vein, I think its up to the booker to keep their attention. There's too many other things viewers can be watching wrestling wise or otherwise. I stayed interested in the Deathriders story because the beginning was really cool but now it seems directionless.

I must see it differently. I think that AEW has done a great job intertwining a lot of characters and storylines, even if it’s been subtle.

The Deathriders storyline is still early, but I feel they need to expand beyond “protect Mox only” mode. Show some vulnerability….

I also think it’s fine having various challengers lose all while for ongoing them to step up their game, becoming more violent and exciting, as Mox has intended. With Cooe & JJ, now you’ve got experience vs violence.

The O-mega Powers vs Callis Family feud adds another top level storyline.

I’m just glad everything feels different but at any point, could come together if needed.

When you silence the outside chatter and focus on what is on TV only, it’s amazing how many great wrestlers there are and what they’re doing.

Hangman, Swerve/Ricochet, Hurt Syndicate, the women, etc.

I have great appreciation for the talent and I mean even in this storyline I don't like, Mox is one of my favorite wrestlers. I don't think there's anything wrong with having multiple challengers at all. To me, it just hasn't felt well done or cohesive with the messaging Mox started off with.

Also, just to be clear, I have an overall positive view of AEW and whats going on. I think the main problem for me personally is that what I'm not liking happens to be the center point of the promotion so its making my viewing experience a bit weird week to week.
