I agree with some of this, some of it I don't, but either way you're clearing watching and you seem to find it interesting as do I. A few thoughts:
- Ford and Statlander, I haven't paid much attention. I do like that there's an overarching storyline for their "factions" if you will.
- Agree on Miro. I never watched much of him in WWE, but you're absolutely right that he's looking like a menacing monster and as I said a few weeks back he should be competing for a belt or at least in a major feud. Even if not with Kenny then for the TNT Championship, but this is also where I think another singles title might come in handy because you've got a lot of guys who could/should be competing.
- As for Darby, again get another title like a cruiserweight title (you have enough talent on the roster to have a division), I think he needs to pass on the belt soon. He's had some good matches on Dynamite, but he's just so damn small.
- Disagree on The Factory. Not a fan of the members or that it's being headed up by QT. On a short term basis it's OK as a thorn in Cody's side, but as I've been it's just a waste of Cody's time and talent. He should be feuding with a top star and/or competing for a belt. It's great that AEW is helping build up a lot of guys, but it shouldn't be and doesn't need to be at the expense of some of their established stars. Also not a fan of Comorato at all. Looks physically menacing, but can he speak? IMO he's a LONG way off from Bruiser Brody. Overall I find The Factory lacks charisma. And don't get me wrong here, while I like Cody and Dustin, I'm not a fan of The Nightmare Family either. Ogogo? We'll see. Need to see more of him.
- Wardlow apparently has potential, but he's so seldom in the ring. Is he hurt?
- Not sure about The Pinnacle or The Inner Circle. They're both OK and I think the feud is OK, but The Pinnacle's roster for me should be different. I think if you're going to come up with something really new in terms of the talent, then you don't add FTR. I think you go with The Acclaimed. Spears is meh too. Maybe that's where you add and Ethan Page or Scorpio Sky. Either way, subtly build it up.
- As for the best run factions, I think The Dark Order and possibly even Hardy Family Office (whatever it's called) are run well. The latter is a great concept though I think they could change up the members a bit. Either way I think they're more interesting as factions than either The Pinnacle or The Inner Circle.
- Yes, MJF is looking good. Not sure I see him carrying a company yet, but he should be a top guy that's for sure. Again, someone who should be competing for a title, but at least he's in a major feud.
- I don't see Kenny and Co as forced considering history, but it's sort of lacking sense as to how it plays into the current AEW. I mean you'd think they would be feuding with an Inner Circlesque faction, but instead they're up against Moxley and Kingston. Kind of a weird feud as you could eliminate Kingston and one of The Bucks/Good Brothers and still carry it off.
- Sky and Page pairing is one the hand interesting, but on the other it is also odd. I'm not a big fan myself.
- I'm not tired of "superstar" Cody because he's either not being used or not being booked near the top of the card. Again, he's being wasted big time.
- Archer is being wasted too. I too would like a repackaging because I don't like his look and think Jake shouldn't be involved. He doesn't need Jake.
