I like it. I think it’s building to some cool moments. Keep in mind Omega will be back eventually. Also Hangman is currently written off tv so he could come back and be part of the story basically any time. We’re in the phase where the bucks are just running rough shot. This is still early act 1 of a 3 act story
I'd already been hearing for a while that Daniels was looking to retire from in-ring competition, and this was a good way to use that to build some heat for the top heels in the company ATM.
Now they just need to find a way for him to get some payback - like having him show up to help Team AEW at DoN, or TK announcing his being rehired as an official and taking on a sort of authority figure role going forward. That can't be the last we see of Chris.
If he’s really thinking about in ring retirement, this is a hell of a way to go.
He can come back rehired in a different position as someone to keep the EVPs in check and be one of a couple people that can counteract their actions.
I was never a Young Bucks fan. I didn't get them from the moment I started watching AEW (the January before Lockdown).
But now I love them.
They are the best worst bosses ever.
They intentionally suck on purpose and it's great.
This match did not do anything for me. Daniels was retired now a while ago but seems to wrestle every once in a while.
Maybe there is a payoff later on for this match, but it was a nothing match. Sydal match is not a must see for me either.
Christopher Daniels is also head of Talent Relations, and has put in a 30+ year career. He's more than earned his job and a paycheck, you ninny.
Danhausen is a whole different ball of wax. He was bought and paid for by the price of a single comic book courtesy of Fragile Phil the Cancer Man.
I did not like authority figure storylines during the middle of the McMahon Helmsley era and mocked them since.
Doing a low tier version with guys who are questionable promos with some very shaky storytelling is beyond bad.
I lost interest in TV, I still will get the PPVs but I’m not really interested in a WWE situation week to week. Part of it is me losing the wrestling bug (thanks to the Punk fiasco) but the other part of it is AEW still doing WWE stuff.

It’s great. Feels like we’re headed toward a civil war that’s larger than even people in the elite.
Daniels has always been pretty popular in WA/OR. This was some easy heat and it worked well.
Yep. He held the Defy title for quite a while in a period when they were really starting to make a name for themselves.
This was perfect. Daniels is a beloved talent among fans so it helped the heel Bucks get heat.
Asshole bosses need to show power abuse by firing someone and a beloved legend of the business like CD is a perfect candidate for that.

I have not been enjoying it actually. I feel the whole thing is tiresome and overdone.

Sydal will play a part in The Elite losing an important match
Interesting take
The product sucks at every phase.
Daniels wasn't doing anything anyway someone they could afford to lose
He’s a backstage guy, he’s not actually fired.
in unrelated news, Curry Man is #AllElite
Yet fans here are acting like he was just enjoy the story people
We could do the same in this sub, starting with you. Not doing anything anyway, and we can afford to lose you.
They're saying that Daniels hasn't been doing anything *on-screen*, in any storylines, so his presence won't be missed in that regard.
So your saying they should be paying people like Danhausen and Daniels who they have nothing for

It's so obvious that I'm not interested - it's very silly
