not gonna lie he works the yonkers douchebag acts like a tough guy and starts fights at the bar for no reason gimmick to perfection.
i hate that pentagon and fenix are his lackeys. those two should be at the top of the card. should be pushed as two of the biggest stars in the company.
i dunno maybe jim cornette is right about aew

I never watched CZW but he’s a good promo now. His promo at the end and especially after the show ended was really good:

He's sour to them but not in the same stratosphere as his trinity of hate: Omega, Young Bucks and Orange Cassidy. He's also very against Chuck Taylor and usually Trent for simply being around him.
I think the problem with Cornette isn't that he's wrong, it's that he's a zealot in pretty much all aspects of his life. He'll make a good point but drown it in vitriol, admittedly often in a hilarious and entertaining way -- which really I think that's the entire point. I can listen to him and laugh and see his point but still be a fan of AEW.
On AEW's part, it's been a year now and I really haven't seen a lot of improvement in the product that I thought would have happened. 2020 Jericho is several steps behind the more dominant and serious 2019 Jericho, he's often working the indy style of match rather than elevating the younger guys around him or helping them along -- with the exception of Sammy who has clearly only gotten better and better.
I hope in 2021 they can better balance the goofy stuff, the more mindless acrobatic indy matches with strong work and serious story lines. I like that the show does offer up many different kinds of things (something old school/serious, maybe some hardcore stuff, lucha style matches, pure comedy, promos, etc) but they've never quite nailed the right recipe there. I don't need a show loaded with 3-4 tag team matches, particularly if some of them are the exact same style/flavor of work.
Way too much of some stuff, way too little of others.All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Yeah, I think the pandemic really caused them to stumble. It seems like they were holding back on things hoping it’d blow over relatively quickly and I think not having live fan reactions to guide their decision making hurt them.
Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think they would have pushed Orange Cassidy as a main event guy if the crowds were there. He was an amusing character in spots but I saw him more as an analogue to R-Truth.
Jericho messing around with him for two months was ridiculous and I think that would have been obvious before they got to the Mimosa Mayhem idiocy.
The debuting new guys as monsters destroying jobbers only to have them booked in title matches which they all lost as their first major feuds was inexcusably bad booking though.Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. -C.S. Lewis
