That's why they should load up on talent. Having a good rotation of guys makes it easier to fill out a card, if Moxley needs time to recover from an injury working GCW, or Hangman needs paternity leave, or Bryan wants to work Japan for a few weeks.
You ain't gotta have people working with injuries like CM Punk, or have this being glaring hole on a card that you gotta fill with a jobber like Carmella/Bianca.
They were able to have a bomb ass PPV without two of their bigger names, Cody and Hangman, and then they can come back and it ain't shit for them to pick up where they left off. Because the fans are so occupied with what's going on in their absence, they're not really missing those guys when they're gone.
AEW is going to eventually have to expand their shows or do a separate brand.
There are wrestlers who go unseen for months and happen to show up out of no where.
For instance, early this year, they were doing a storyline with that zombie bitch Abadon going after Shida... Abadon disappears suddenly, Shida loses title....
Abadon appears at the womens battle royal at All Out.
Same thing has happened with a ton of their talent. They have all these wrestlers that you just don't see.
Loading up on talent but not doing anything with them does nothing to excite the fan base.
Basically what WCW did back in the early nWo days where they signed damn near anyone with a WWF history....
It's cool but there is only so much you can do with a loaded roster and three hours of TV time.
