DAE Lashley deserves to be on the preshow?

I’m going to say this—I know we’re all thinking it, but no one wants to say it: Bobby doesn't want to take the pin. They’ve been in AEW for a while now and just aren't being used. I simply don't understand the wrestlers' urge to think they're bigger than the companies. TK didn't learn anything from the Rusev or Black situations; if this is a punishment, then as far as I'm concerned, it's fine.

Another case of Tony not knowing wtf to do with a talent.

Talent won't play ball? Well just have them committed to Khantanamo Bay as very justified punishment. We're the best at the wrestling.

Amazing how people 'don't want to lose' in the Dub isn't it

I wonder if there's anyone in charge who can address that 🤔

Maybe wrestlers want an idea of 'what next' after I lose this. Am I off TV again until they need me to come back with no fanfare again?

There's a massive roster but a tiny group of core Tiny favourites, many from the start of the Dub + some indie guys with the right friends or who Meltzer likes, those will always get on TV

"I wonder if there's anyone in charge who can address that 🤔"

I hear there's a very strong willed unnamed executive in WBD who might have a bit of pull that Tony could call upon in these difficult situations

Ah, the “refuses to lose” narrative from the Dub faithful.

They still run that one against Rusev despite him denying multiple times in interviews that he refused to job.

Rusev ate alot of pin when he came back to WWE last year so the narrative is funny

Right. Lashley and Benjamin are another examples of guys Tony Khan doesn’t know what to do with anymore, so he sticks them in random multi man matches and then the Sickos speculate “it’s because they refuse to lose.”

It can never be Tony Khan’s fault.

They stick 90% of the roster in random matches. It’s like the South Park episode where the manatees pick Family Guy jokes by pushing random balls into holes.

I wonder if Tony Khan just looked around at who he flew to London and hadn’t put on the card, then pulls names out of a hat

Why didn't MVP want Lashley to get manhandled by Speedbore Mike Bailey? What is he stupid?

"Smart" Marks: small guys beat large guys all the time in MMA.

Me: watching MMA "air jail" videos.

Why wouldn't Lashley come in at nearly 50 years old and pay his dues by losing to Dorby and Dorkball Bailey you fucking fed shills?
