If Jimmy Jacobs’ departure coincides with an improvement in AEW creative, that’s great. But the sheer volume of unpopular booking decisions being pinned on him as he exits seems a little…convenient, I guess?
Most of it, I was willing to cautiously believe but the part that he didn’t know who Okada was before he came to AEW is a bridge too far.

Do we have a list of ideas attributed to Jimmy Jacobs?
Not that I've seen. I don't think anyone really knows who does what tbh.

They're setting up an angle that will lead to Lio Rush joining the Hurt Business so that he can do the "LASH-LEY, LASH-LEY" bit that nobody liked at the time, and Bob got 10x more over when they replaced him with MVP, but it's something from WWE that they can't prohibit AEW from using, so Tony feels he has to do it.
People absolutely loved the ass pointing stuff and I am one of them. I do agree he got much more over with MVP but I think if you go back and look the Ass Pointing was somewhat over. Lio is a solid talker and while I don't think the Ass Point would work in AEW (except ina terrible YB way) I do think he would work as an annoying cocky little guy with Bob, Sheldon, and hopefully one or two younger guys.
People keep saying Private Party but they should keep them face. I'm not the biggest fans of theirs but they seem in line for a big push. I'd actually turn Top Flight (minus Andretti) I think.

They would sell more witha black and white version
Ibous has broken some stuff before so if you believe him that should tell you something aka RJ City actually DOES have a use

Shelton/Rush was really good. Really impressed with Benjamin after all these years. Lio is a great bump taker.

Shelton’s still got it. His match with Swerve should be great.

I'm into Elder Statesman Shelton. Dude deserves it.
I've also been digging Statlander however I don't think it's how I'm supposed to. Like she's a throwback to the days of someone solid in the ring but distractingly awkward outside of it. Big fan.

What about the fact that she appears to have randomly turned face again, just so that she could feud with Mercedes?

It’s going to take a while to make a real, sustained difference on ticket sales, but I’ll give AEW credit for listening to the criticism they’ve gotten for how they market their shows and are now making changes. I’ve noticed the past couple weeks, they’ve started doing full rundowns of upcoming events on TV, and they’re getting back to announcing matches in advance as well.
Another thing is they’re being much more proactive with PR. I’m a nobody freelancer who has done a couple newspaper interviews with wrestlers ahead of previous shows here. In the past, I’ve had to reach out to AEW to get those wheels turning, and their responses have been hit or miss. Last year in particular was looking like they weren’t going to make anyone available until Darby was offered up at the last possible second. This year, they reached out to me first weeks in advance to set up an interview, and I know they are hitting all the local TV and radio stations too. It’s far and away the best media blitz they’ve done ahead of a show here. I hope this stuff starts paying off.

AEW feels like its slowly figuring things out tbh. Pieces are fitting together.
Really loved the BCC segment just now on Collision. They feel like a god damn menace.

So, Penelope Ford's motivation for picking a fight with Jaime Hayter is... the Hulkamaniacs fans didn't send her enough cards and letters while she was injured?

Also, what's the idea behind the Women's World Champion having a match at "Battle of the Belts" where the title isn't on the line? Why even book her in that spot? They could have had an eliminator match at Dynamite.
