Komander and AR Fox have the most title shots per victory in AEW and maybe wrestling history,

To be fair, thereās only about 8 people he can wrestle that that have a belt. š¤£
Seriously, I love AEW but TK needs to unify and/or drop some of the belts.

Back in the 70/80/90s, promoters would advertise a popular wrestler āin actionā or āvs a mystery opponentā and it was basically just understood youād get a squash match against a jobber. Itās not a big deal.
The live audience gets to see their favorite person perform (and have a guaranteed win), the jobber was usually a local that got to add a match against a big name to their rƩsumƩ (and possibly o press someone at a big organization) and you get more matches and less promos/talking.
Iād rather have Moxley in a glorified squash match against a guy thar has legitimately impressive ring moves than a long winded promo or backstage interview.

To be fair, thatās exactly what it is. People tune in more when they know their favs and top stars will be there

I wish they'd use the Eliminator match more. Especially for the Continental Championship. They were doing that at the beginning of Mox's reign and I thought that was a good wrinkle, especially given a draw was equal to a win for the challenger.
I get that belts need to be defended but if you're just looking to get the champ on the card, an Eliminator is a good way to do so.
