Triple H Rehires
By Scott Keith on 6th April 2023
Hey Scott-
Like many, I'm disappointed that Vince is back and seems to be undoing the strong creative direction led by Triple H. That said, thinking on the wrestlers re-hired by Triple H since taking over, would it be fair to say that they've almost universally been disappointing? People give AEW flak for introducing new wrestlers and then having them lost in the shuffle, but don't almost all of the re-hires fall into exactly the same camp? If I were Karrion Kross for example, I might be worried that another pink slip might be heading my way.
100%. Gargano clearly made the wrong choice. That being said, Damage CTRL was an effective stable and would be on the higher end of the success spectrum for them. Until Vince came back and immediately torched the group. But Kross in particular couldn’t even make the WM card and that says a lot.
