Yes AND I’ve been doing therapy all wrong

Who do you think is ready? I’d almost want to put it back on Swerve (eventually). Maybe Osprey or Okada could be considered even if they are otherwise occupied in different divisions. Otherwise I’m drawing a blank since I kind of agree the Darby isn’t quite ready. But a win over Mox might just do the trick.

I could see a squash set up for the Outrunners with the Grapes of Agony that has them slip on the old banana peel to get shit started. That one was for free Coach.

Arrest me. Make it sexy.

As a diehard… I just can’t give a shit. If you’re selling doom and gloom. I’m not buying.

I’ve always thought fewer PPVs would service the weekly shows positively. More destination match making during the week in theory should boost interest. For awhile that seemed to be the AEW approach. But looking at Collision I often wonder about some matches even being on the show other than to dodge, delay, and avoid giving anything away for free.

Here I go. Bringing up my simfed AGAIN. But topically it’s a coincidence this has come up (for me at least). Because I’ve been pondering the newish Gauntlet Matches on 2k24. I could totally fix up a 30 person Rumble with pins and submissions and all that. But it sounds like it would take a week to finish on sim. So it’s kind of the same issue for AEW. How long is too long? Could an over run past the normal end of the show drive them wild or make them beg for it to just end already? Would a consolidated match put too many cooks in the kitchen as it pertains to agenting the individuals. Could be a butthurt ego fest potentially.

A hit off my weed vape in honor of the two time WrestleMania Main Eventer. Loved the ECW run. An unforgettable character.

Risk averse for sure. But it’s an odd way to be these days since so many shows that are highly regarded and successful had either an iffy start in quality or mostly ignored as they built an audience. A course correction could have saved this show. My perception of it had much of the show laying track for a future. That world building has value. Plus, you’re already invested this far. Baffling.

And for me that’s the gist of it for my complete turnaround on Swerve. Killshot and his run in MLW did nothing for me. But ever since the team with Keith Lee I’ve fully invested. He is great and was as great as Bryan was during the match, the entrance, the build. In the category of picking nits though. It’s tougher to swallow the Christian win in hindsight of his losing the feud to Edge. Not that his injury was in the plans of course. But it has forced a course correction that would have had more muscle if they’d had the foresight to beat Edge instead. It’s not like I don’t think The Patriarchy has the legs to be the top heel group. Cage will carry that entire act on his back and make it incredible (and he still might). But at the moment? I guess mixing in the Luchasaurus tease IS making use of available resources to keep a certain continuity. But that element by itself is definitely mid-card strength expected to hold up main event weight.

Chefs kiss to the main event, Toni/May, and MJF/Ospreay. Money well spent.

This post is why I’ll always be Daniel Bryan Danielsons #2 best fan. A placement I am perfectly fine with. Great post, sir.

Additionally, any connection to CC dies after a short while. It’s like you’re only allowed so much time to browse before every reboot of the game feels like pumping quarters into an arcade machine.

Thank you. Just THANK YOU!!! This came up today with my therapist. I have issues. Jay Lethal is a good wrestler and I enjoyed his recent match.
