Listening to his latest show even Meltzer has admitted there are major issues with the booking and AEW featuring too many people. This makes it impossible for anyone to get over. And if Dave is saying that, considering his AEW bias, it's a pretty big issue.
It's a drum I've been beating for months. But, AEW simply has way too many people. If you ever want people to become stars they need to be featured on the show week in and week out in matches and promos. How many matches has Sammy Guevara worked in 2021 on Dynamite? Maybe 1? How about Starks? Maybe 1?
You need to pick about 30 guys and go with them.
Now the above means you are probably releasing about 30 guys from your company, and upsetting tons of people. I don't see Tony being willing to do that. So, things will just continue as is.
