Do we really need Tay corrupted by Minoru's ways?

Jay White is going to get huge offers from everyone when he's next avaliable. I'll be surprised if he stays with NJPW.

Daffney was awesome in late WCW (loved the Daffney/Crowbar/David Flair act) , and reading about what she did for Jamie, that is so awesome (and I never knew about Jamie, I'll have to find out more about her) RIP and such a shame.

I'm more interested in seeing AEW use their 1B stars (Rosa/Shida/Tay) more before adding more women they just won't use enough. I'm enjoying the ROH women's tourney matches right now- and ROH could have a really good division if they put effort into it, plus it would differentiate them more which is good. That's where I'd want Ruby , Cassie, and Jessica.

I'd rather see Britt against Deathmatch Tam.

Even then Rock had time in Memphis, which was more like an excursion than a developmental. I assume they're still gonna take the amateurs- Gable is a shoo-in to be signed after all after the Olympics. This policy is going to flop- and if WWE goes all-in on this, we get the male version of Wrestlicious or GLOW.

Ishimori's in the US, El Phantasmo might have been avaliable.

I think Rosa or Tay would be the face against Britt. Just those two though. At worst it would be 50/50. Rosa and Tay are very over.

doublepost by mistake.

She already is a huge star. Part of my dislike of Britt is that I think there are three women who deserve to be the face of the Women's division more in Shida, Rosa, and Tay. Britt is perfectly fine, but I feel like she's a notch below those three, though she is willing to take a beating.

IT will be interesting to see if the Bowens/Martin match airs. If it doesn't, then something major is going on- either big angle or he's really being stupid. It's clear Max was at least over as a midcard act ,and as such, he likely could make money on the indies for a while.

It could have been precautionary. TK has said that a COVID outbreak that caused a show cancellation would be very financially damaging. Early in the pandemic, they split the roster and told half to stay home for weeks at a time just to have a backup crew in case an outbreak happened with the first crew. With vaccination I think they're worried less, but that might still be a reason for less matches.

Minoru is heading to the US next month- confirmed, not in G1. If Archer needs any help vs Dan Lambert goons, knock on that door. Also would be good to scare Kenny. He'll be mega over.

I thought the endgame was going to be Max comes back and doing something truly vicious to someone, and declares that he's too edgy for AEW, and so we're going to make this place hell, or something along those lines. Think MLW's Injustice, but more vicious, less whiny, and higher up the card. Perhaps alongside some debuting new act. If Max was thrown under the bus, TK deserves hell for it. If Max is being a whiny child, well, it's probably good to get rid of him, though it sucks for Bowens who is hurt massively (I think AEW would repackage Bowens). Fact is, we don't know- I'm hoping this turns out alright in the end, cause I found Max funny and he entertained me, and I didn't see him as an IRL edgelord, just one playing a character. Hopefully I'm right on that, but if I'm wrong, well, then he deserves to be let go. If Max did walk, only MLW would take him. Impact likely wouldn't because of the bad blood with AEW (and there would be in this scenario) , WWE definitely wouldn't except perhaps as an attempt to convince AEW folks that WWE will push them if they flip, he doesn't fit ROH. With MLW hope he likes $50 and a hot dog. I think Max has more sense than to kill his career, but I could be wrong.

They have Angelico right there, and Colt can do this style as well. AEW could use more Tekkers and less Tekken.

Travel issues+ apparently a lot of the gaijins weren't treated well when COVID issues came up. Jay and Finley were the most upset apparently.

Jay has the leverage, when he can AEW and WWE would offer him all the money in the world. He is the closest thing wrestling has to a Mike Trout. I mean, I'd build around Jay White before I'd build around Hangman, and Hangman's like the #2 guy in the world I'd build around. I think the 3 match format, with one longer women's match (Deeb/Tay/Shida showcases) would be great for Rampage going forward.

Christian/Kenny was really good. Booking of all this seems confused/rushed/made up right now, which is unusual for AEW. Guessing a lot of moving parts have changed things on short notice. The Fuego moment was heartwarming. Britt/Velvet was there. Don't like either one of them that much (they're good, but I got a half-dozen women in AEW I like more than either of them) so it didn't do much for me. I really want Jay vs Kenny II, but I suspect NJPW/AEW politics would come into play.

Given that Max is a fan of Tegan and Sara, and in the past seems to have liked some positive stuff, I don't think he'd do anything hateful. At the very least, I think in his heart of hearts he's one of the good ones, which is why I'm willing to cut some slack. He did go against Sonny Kiss once on Dark from what I remember. Ended up with him doing the Botty Butt Cheeks thing which got popular for a bit.

Marko can sing at least.

The area 451 has been used on occasion before, it's her alternate finisher.

I kinda want Caster to do an escape from jail trope video, but instead of regular jail it's horny jail, and his cell has like pictures of MJF

I guess I was different, I wanted my heels to be folks I could respect for their ability. I wasn't a WWF fan as a kid, precisely because of all the stooges who could only stooge and all the lumbering giants. I was that weird NC kid who liked Bill Watts and UWF stuff. I did like a few WWF folks, and Bret got me to like watching his stuff, and I enjoyed Perfect, Kerry, and a few others, but in general it was my least favorite of all the promotions I got to watch as a kid.

I didn't see much of Honky in Max, probably because Max was actually entertaining and can go some. Honky was a waste of space up there with Brutus and Hillbilly Jim.

Seems like Max is being put on time out/sensitivity training (the Sammy Guevara treatment) Probably good for his career to get a slap on the wrist/small suspension, and come back stronger/angrier. I'd like to see an Acclaimed come back that is angry at management and willing to take it out on teams.
