I'm pretty sure it's going to go Toni-Athena-Mercedes with Mercedes winning the ROH as well.

Great job. Took a 5-star MOTYC and ruined it with a stupid fucking cash in. I hate MITB so much....

I wouldn't ditch the comedy, but they should definitely be heels. I really liked their original heel run.

I always thought when Punk left WWE he'd have saved enough money so his life would be playing Xbox, watching Blackhawks games, and being with AJ Lee. Maybe work some conventions, get a few acting gigs, that's it. Both him and his wife seem like smart people. But then he decides to go to UFC. Training for that must've cost a hunk of change, and it was an absolute disaster.

I was under the impression that lineal championships don't count title vacancies.

Think they could get away with calling it the Intercontinental Title? NJPW did.

Hearing that Peter David passed away last night.

They should bring in Kayden Carter and Katana Chance, plus borrow FWC from Stardom( they're on an international tour). With the group you mentioned, that would be a good start for a tag division.

Thekla is fantastic. A great wrestler and an incredible personality. I recommend her match vs. Athena on Stardom from a few months ago.

I want to make it clear on what my opinion on all this is. I do agree that Dynamite should change its format up. We should see more 5 to 10 minute matches so more people get on the show, especially women, especially Willow Nightingale. I just don't think shorter matches equals near squash matches. I think you have a talented enough roster that you could have a couple of Owen-123 Kid quality matches per show.

I don't know if you think they count, but I would say DDP before he was tempted to join the NWO, and Sami Zayn when he joined the Bloodline.They were in a pretty bad place before, and they both had a nice redemption arc.

Look, I've been watching wrestling for 35 years. A lot of that wrestling has been steered by a crazy old psychopath, and people who have learned about booking from him. Forgive me if I don't care to see another talented young wrestler being killed for the sake of elevating some muscle man. (No offense to Hobbs, who is fine) AEW has a stacked roster, filled with talented men and women. Every match should at least be somewhat competitive. That doesn't mean you can't have five minutes matches. A flurry of offense to start, followed by murder works fine. But I'm not interested in watching someone just being used as a punching bag. I will say,though, a massacre is fine if it's part of a larger narrative. Like a losing streak angle, or something like that.

That's great, if all you're interested in is elevating Hobbs. But you've just buried Yuta. And pissed off fans of Yuta (of which I am one). Having a good match that keeps both at least credible is far better, IMO.

Flair. I was probably 14 or 15 at the time. I always thought Flair was better than Hogan.
