I imagine Edge has a short reign and puts over a young up and comer. Historically though, Christian wins it back in three weeks, Edge wins it back a month after that, somehow it ends up on Wardlow again

AEW doesn't need more titles, but at least we're consolidating 3 into 1. This going to be banger after banger. Swerve over Danielson in the finals, PLEASE.

You know, Ospreay vs MJF would be really fucking good

Did I hallucinate this or were there weeks of Danhausen vignettes building to nothing?

If we're fantasy booking the AEW mini-G1, i'd do: A Block Bryan Danielson Kenny Omega Konosuke Takeshita Buddy Matthews Eddie Kingston Daniel Garcia B Block Claudio Castagnoli Hangman Page Powerhouse Hobbs Juice Robinson Swerve Strickland Action Andretti Run another Danielson Omega draw as the A Block finals, Hangman Swerve III as the B Block finals. Danielson vs Swerve at the PPV with Swerve going over.

The whole intriguing thing about MJF and Cole was knowing one of them was going to turn on the other but not knowing who, when, or why? Then Cole punked his ankle and that metaphorical “who’s the bad guy” has to be represented by a literal dude in a devil mask. The devil really needs to be either Cole or MJF. MJF is more interesting, he could unmask after the goons attack Cole, but I don’t know who the goons would be. Cole makes more sense as the goons are obvious. The problem is they’re gonna drag this out til Cole’s healthy and that’s gonna be what? Double or Nothing? Regarding Hollywood Jack Perry, he needs to be back soon and return in a meaningful way (and TK should cut a check to Timberlake for the entrance music) It would make sense for him to pop up along Christian again and cost Darby, Sting, and Edge the match at Full Gear. Jungle Boy settles into the heel role under Christian’s tutelage. Feuds with Edge and/or Darby. Eventually he leads Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne to turn on Christian building to the Edge Christian retirement tour. Fuck, maybe he even wins the TNT title.

Haven’t watched the show yet, but if Joe just vacated the belt after having it and not really doing anything with it for almost two years, they need to just scrap it. There’s too many belts and it’s a TV belt for a promotion without aTV show

Samoa Joe vs Keith fucking Lee

I’ve said Wardlow’s beyond hope, but if he jumps MJF and beats the piss out of him he could get his heat back pretty quick

Hell yeah he was. Had an awesome match with Okada at the anniversary show that year.

I thought Edge v Luchasaurus was really good, what’s everyone bitching about?

Turning Swerve now would be a mistake. MJF's a face and he's gonna lose heat weekly while they drag this bromance angle out another six months waiting for Adam Cole's shattered ankle to rematerialize. Have Swerve beat Max and drop it to Darby if he makes it down from Everest. I don't think he needs the TNT title in the meantime, mostly because he'll have to drop it before going after the big one and dude should not be jobbing 'til he gets to Max. Though, I suppose he could unify the belts and finally put the TNT title out of it's misery.

Popeye’s got fried okra?

Swerve should beat Dragon. Strap a rocket to that motherfucker. Someone needs to beat MJF while we’re waiting for Cole to heal up. But the TNT title is beneath both those dudes.

Man, I am fucking down with this Christian Edge storyline. You gotta believe ending his career alongside his “brother” is a legitimate reason for Edge coming to AEW, and fuck yeah he’s doing it while Christian doing the best dickhead heel work of his entire career. Wrestling fucking rules.

As long as Beach Break is perpetually in the Great Lakes region during sub-zero temps in January, they can do a PPV every goddamn week

Until this week I can’t recall ever seeing a Julia Hart match. I must’ve, but they obviously weren’t memorable. Thats not a knock. I think she’s got the most defined character of any woman in the company, with the exception of Jade and recently Toni Storm, but she hasn’t been featured much.

I get it, I’ve just never liked the idea of someone “not needing” the belt to be over. The belt should be on the most over wrestler. That’s what the belt’s for

That was by far Saraya’s best match in AEW and I attribute that entirely to the crowd being super into Toni’s act. Which begs the question “Why didn’t Toni go over?” The answer to which, I assume is, “Because Hayter’s coming back and they want her to beat a heel”

Ultimate AEW dream match. Bring back the Triple Cage from WCW. In the ring you have Adam Page, Ethan Page, Diamond Dallas Page, and Rickey Shane Page. Saraya is special guest ref. After these four men battle it out they ascend to the second cage where... They find Christian Cage and Brian Cage, already duking it out. The winner of Page v Page v Page v Page from the first cage takes on the winner of Cage v Cage from the second cage to ascend to the third cage where, already waiting for them is a fresh... NICK FUCKING GAGE! The third cage is filled with light tubes, obviously. Winner gets a three-tiered trophy and the tile of King of All -Ages

You forgot Shibata

The Impractical Jokers are getting fucked, they run that shit constantly. I remember someone saying Honor Club doesn’t have a lot of content on it prior to 2010ish. Is that true? It’d definitely be worth it for access to the full archives from 04-07, especially considering how much money I dropped on those DVDs back in the day.

Is this the first time in his career Roderick Strong has had an actual character?

Word. Why even put Nick Wayne’s hot mom on TV if that’s not the endgame?
