Just Adam Bay Bay

Thanks for letting me know you’d posted this. It’s cool to see we’re both around the same age as I’m a year and a few months older than you. Growing up I always loved Bret Hart too. Heck his Hasbro figure was probably my favorite as a kid too. I think my favoring Ospreay over ZSJ has to do with my tastes changing as I got older. Once TNA started and I first saw AJ Styles getting to showcase his talents (I’d seen him near the end of WCW, but that wasn’t the same) he immediately became my favorite wrestler. So based on that I think that’s why I’m an Ospreay guy. That and I’ve always liked Kenny Omega and stylistically Ospreay shared many traits with Kenny. I do think Ospreay needs to cut down on his finishers too and make it so it’s just the Hidden Blade, and the Tiger Driver 97 when he absolutely has to break that one out. Storm Breaker rarely wins any matches anymore, and while I admitted I love AJ too the Styles Clash needs to go. Thanks for such a well thought out reply too, and I hope everything’s as good as can be in your personal life. You and Gordlow are always the two posters that can make me smile just by interacting with me for a minute or liking a post I’ve made. So I hope you know how appreciated you are.

I’m with you on the matches you’re most looking forward to. And I’ll say as a fan of Ospreay even that I prefer a Hangman win. The other thing I’m excited for is seeing Sammy bump for the Hurt Syndicate. I can see Lashley about breaking him in two with a spear.

I just posted in the AEW monthly thread with my reasons why. I’m sure we won’t see eye to eye on them, but I’m willing to hear reasons I’m wrong too.

I’m posting this because Niners Fan asked me in the WWE thread why Jamie Hayter should win at Double or Nothing. And while I’m not sure we can have a good discussion about it here’s my reasons why: Jamie hasn’t had a definitive win since coming back not even in the tournament so far. So to re-establish her as a dominant force beating Mercedes is a great choice. Mercedes doesn’t defend the belt she already has on TV rarely ever so why put her in a match to win another one? Mercedes despite Becky Lynch drawing Hogan comparisons is the female Hogan of her time. She makes boo boo face when she has to job, or like last week flat out doesn’t job to lose a title. If Hayter doesn’t win what’s she doing at All In? Mercedes already has a match with Athena that would require zero buildup and people would want to see it again. Jamie is on tv weekly (or close enough) putting on quality performances and not relying on piped in crowd noise to make herself seem over. Jamie hasn’t ever got a rematch after losing the belt to Toni Storm so that also would draw fan interest.

It feels like when people lose to your favorite in AEW you applaud it and give countless reasons why it’s good, but when someone you like loses like Giulia you’re the first to hop on the oh whoa is them they’re being buried train. Keep that same energy when Mercedes needlessly goes over Hayter at Double or Nothing.

Plus Ambrose would have made zero sense with the Authority. Why would they align with a guy whose nickname was the Lunatic Fringe? Like how’s that fit the suit and tie image they had? It’s fine to say Ambrose should’ve got a push but he wouldn’t have fit the one they gave Rollins.

Isn’t the break between games 5 and 6 because of the WNBA? Or did I hear that wrong during I think game 2?

If she hadn’t lost last week on NXT then she’d be losing to Vaquer again at Battleground. Would that make you happier? It seems like you have an agenda and it’s not a good one.

I’d say the other safe bet is Lakers vs Mavs on Christmas this year too. So they can run Luka/Lebron vs AD/Flagg

I don’t think they’re moving back for a player they like. The strong rumor going in and I’m sure now is both lottery picks are headed to Milwaukee. Which will make the Spurs a top 3 team in the west for certain if Wemby’s remotely healthy.

He’s going to have a “match” with R-Truth at Saturday Nights Main Event. So that should limit how many bumps he takes. I definitely see him skipping Money In The Bank though.

Hell that would actually work with MJF seemingly wanting in a stable too. He could hit Bob with the Dynamite Diamond ring, and join the Don Callis family. That would get some nuclear heat if he was with Callis.

So with them running Philadelphia at the end of August/Early September any guess as to where All Out will be at? I’m hoping they go back to Wilkes-Barre again as they drew a hot crowd there last September and it’s not that far from Philadelphia. Plus WWE quit running that area so they’d sell out for a PPV. And obviously I want to attend one.

I know Goto was hinting at facing Shibata but I can’t see that being a huge draw if that’s the IWGP title match. Personally I’d suggest ZSJ vs Ospreay if they get the belt onto ZSJ before then, or if Will wins the AEW World Title. Shingo will obviously put on a show with whoever they book him against. Did he ever have a one on one against Kenny in NJPW? I’d say David Finlay will get something high profile too. Maybe against Mox or even Bullet Club vs The Deathriders.
