The Rock could have been Peter Johnson just so Vince (McMahon or Russo) could write penis jokes for promos

Hangman is just a completely better choice as champ than Darby. I think Darby could be fine as a guy to hold the top belt for a bit but Hangman is a guy you build a promotion around and I don’t see Darby as that at all. Honestly I think the window of making Darby a top guy might already be closed, his whole Mt Everest climb hasn’t helped him cause if he had stayed around they could have built him to be the guy to take down Mox but instead the story has become Pages and has brought Ospreay and Swerve into it too and all these guys are better suited to be the top guy than Darby

WCW was handed Bret with the best possible position to be a player the screw job could have been used for him to either come in as a top face or heel and help wcw break away from being solely nWo focused which it needed to start doing because well we all saw why. bring him in as a walking tall baby face who wanta to fix wrestling after what happened to him in Montreal or have him go even further into the anti us character and be another top heel, but wcw was far too full of egos to let either thing happen and it got them out of business

Danielson coming back for a staggered entrance battle royal with a title shot on the line? I know the prefect joker to debut and win

Make someone come out to some cocomelon tunes

Hulk Hogan, the character, is tan. Terry Bollea, the person, uses sunscreen religiously and has never been tan, brother.

I think 53 years old move was like a northern lights bomb/brainbuster thimg

Danielson has said he had trained on how to work a match without using his arms, I think this was in his time between being active in WWE and going to AEW

I think that book would likely, how do I put this,……..RULE THE MOTHERFUCKING THE WORLD!!!!!~

If Danielson came back and joined the group that took his title after trying to murder him I’d probably be done with AEW.

This post was a great example of what some of us are trying to say. I was coming to say something similar which is: compare the moment ms between the Pitbulls vs Raven/Stevie Richards dog collar match and the main event of last years Mania. One had a bunch of run ins that all made sense and paid off or advanced multiple storylines company wide. The other (as far as I can tell from reading about it I’ve never watched it) had a bunch of run ins by legends to pop the crowd but didn’t really lend a pro the story of the match or angle.

Honestly I watch less and less wrestling every year and it’s because of the trend away from wrestling being a story to it being mindless action movie be in North America. AEw isn’t as bad as WWE was )and I’m assuming has gotten worse I haven’t watched it in a very long time at least 6-7 years now) It’s all moments it doesn’t matter what and that’s been being baked into fans for a long time. The dopamine hit of seeing something “historical” or shocking is all that matters now. I don’t hate AEW and they’re not as bad as WWE in booking this way but they fall into their own problems with being a classic or masterpiece. Most of their matches go 5-10 minutes too long and have so much overkill it can be exhausting but they’re fans want to see the “best” matches.

If the word is out that someone is leaving the company there’s no real reason to put them on tv. The fans will know they’re leaving and some amount of them will just shrug when they put someone over on their way out. It’s part of the problem with everything being online you can’t really put someone over on your way out when everyone knows that you’re leaving plus the promotions will catch flak from fans for “burying them” and shit (often from the same fans who will post online about how they miss the old days)

I know his body is breaking down but he’s my favorite wrestler of the past 15 years at least. Hopefully he can work as a freelancer around Japan and maybe on a more limited schedule to keep his body rested and in better condition. Buuuuut dude has shown little regard for his health so I wouldn’t be surprised if he works and insane schedule. Maybe he can find a Minoru Suzuki like formula to make matches work as he gets older

Swerve should have won off of Pages Deadeye cause Swerve succeeding due to Hangman’s help would be interesting storytelling. Instead we get …… something
