Now I understand why they don’t let Marina Shafir wrestle. Woof.

I may be mixing up my proverbs here… but if a tree holds the ROH women’s title for two plus years in the Forest and no one is there to see it, does it make a sound?
Meaning… I’m not so sure Athena’s reign is the big deal some people actually make it out to be. She might just wind up as another victim of the week, which would suck, but yeah.

Toni is more over than Mox and nobody cares about the World title right now.
I feel like no one’s cared about it ever since they stuffed it into a briefcase… for some reason.

There was literally no reason that Toni and Mariah shouldn’t have been the main event when it was literally the “Hollywood Ending”. Strongest story, strongest match, etc etc
As for the rest of the ppv, I liked most of what I saw which is like way way way above what I usually think about these ppvs. Didn’t like how dangerous a lot of the stuff was, but I understand “go big or go home”.
Please retire, Cope. You too Mox. You can stay, Christian.

Harley Cameron is #1 and the best.
Mariah May and Toni Storm probably do deserve to main event the ppv but I doubt AEW will let them.
I dread Cope vs Moxley like I dread the heat death of the universe.

What was the idea? And couldn't they just have said "no" and moved on?
EDIT: Also if I had to guess, that beef revolves around either A. Shane wanting to buy Vince out or B. actual opposition to Vince being a scumbag. Or it could just be that his ideas are that bad and the butting of heads caused it?
iirc, his idea was of the old Bob Holly “I win the match and I beat everybody” variety.

It's 2025. Tony Khan has 5 years' experience of running a Wrestling company, compared to Shane McMahon's zero years.
I was speaking of the Tony Khan back in 2019 who also had never run anything. Besides, Shane has been backstage of WWF and WWE since the 80s. You honestly don't think he picked up anything?

The sheer absolute balls of a guy who has never done anything in wrestling except fall off things thinking he can run a company. Dunning Kruger is a hell of a thing.
Almost as crazy as the son of a billionaire who has never done anything in wrestling except watch it think he can run a company.

As much as I love Hangman, I'd still rather see Eddie Kingston be the one to dethrone Mox. Especially if you build to it with some fiery promos from Eddie talking about how AEW gave him the chance nobody else ever did, and god damn you Jon don't make me fight you over this!
Eddie would be my choice as well, but that injury happened for him at the worst possible time. Do we even know when he’s coming back?

Aren't you the one who just complained that Harley Cameron was "banished" because she wasn't on this show right after Grand Slam? Good stuff.
You’re damn right I am.
I just saw that Harley is scheduled to be on Collision though, so crisis adverted.
-
I bet it was Punk’s fault Penelope Ford and Megan Bayne completely screwed up that post-match with Thunder Rosa too!

Why didn’t Bayne and Ford just scatter like heels usually should when someone comes in for the save with a weapon. God was that awkward.
Looks like Harley Cameron was sent to the phantom zone like everything else I foolishly learn to like on this show. That’ll teach her to get over and be interesting.

QT Marshall, the man who admitted he tricked Shaq into taking a table bump and then told him to toughen up when Shaq got legitimately hurt? Yeah… I’m gonna take his word with a massive grain of salt.
-
It was a somewhat unfitting ending compared to how the rest of the feud was built-up. But I suppose ripping off someone's tits and shoving them back into your womb is impractical.

I will not comment on the tragedy and injustice of Harley Cameron losing, as I do not wish to relive that trauma.

Also, Steph's a chicken. Ba-GAWK!
(Good for Caitlin Clark if so. She knows her value.)
If the NBA had any brains they should’ve had Steph face Harley Cameron as their backup plan.

I will be very interested in seeing what they do with May after, presumably, Storm wins and this feud is over.
The track record here is NOT good. Baker, Rosa, Hayter all fell off a cliff after losing the title and never successfully transitioned to a next hot story/feud.
This happens on the men’s side all the time, too, though it isn’t as glaring. TK can write some killer chapters, but successfully transitioning from one to the next and having a full-blown book is very rare.
Stick Mariah with Harley as two mismatched gal pals.
Like MJF and Adam Cole… only with wrestlers I care about. lol

Apparently, there was a pretty solid ratings spike during Harley's segment on Collision. I can't think of anyone else involved in that segment that anyone would give a shit about, so I think it's pretty clear that Starley Cameron is a DRAW.
Yes, I am kidding about there not being anyone else in that segment. Sort of. But it is noteworthy that people tuned back in during that segment.
There absolutely was someone else in that segment that contributed to the ratings spike.

There’s no point to keeping the title on Mercedes, unless she’s going to make someone a star by beating her and they already blew it with Kris Statlander. Might as well strike while the iron is hot with Harley, who achieved the increasingly rare feat of getting herself over. I don’t care if it’s only for a week…give Harley all four of the vanity titles and let her ventriloquist and sing her way into everyone’s hearts.

ISHOWSPEED is also the former mayor of Lima, Peru.

This has to be the worst booked rumble I’ve ever seen. I can’t believe…
…Nikki Bella didn’t win.

It's also that what hit us when we were younger gets imprinted on our memories even more, not to mention the longer we live, the further out of touch we become with what mainstream is.
Shut up, I’m totally hip with the newest trends. Anyway, who is Bad Bunny?

Revealing Toni Storm’s ruse right after she got beat down by Mariah May was a pretty damn underwhelming way to do it.

If I'm not mistaken, that's how the Magnum TA/Mr. Wrestling II feud ended. (Or may have been spun that way in the magazines to explain why II was a babyface again elsewhere.)
This was also how the original Main Event Mafia ended, with Kurt Angle saying he was proud of all the young guys in TNA and that they proved him wrong.

DYNASTY, Season 2 - 4/6/2025
in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
Posted
That may have been the worst AEW PPV I’ve ever watched. Jericho fulfills his destiny and actually steals from the Sting/Hogan Starrcade ending. The Death Rider angle finds a way to somehow sink to a new low. Toni Storm seems to be wrestling in a different dimension because she’s not tainted by the lifeless, directionless mess everyone else is involved in. The goddamn Young Bucks… ugh ugh UGH!
