odessasteps Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Bring out Shad for the really big announcements. Someone look up how many times Bob Carter was on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Shad Gaspard is no longer with us, he can’t do it. Mark Henry could do it. Or Jim Ross. Cut Tony Khan a break, he’s only just learning to blink on camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Gotta shake my head when people pitch Sting as the match-maker. It was fun for a time in TNA, especially when he was beefing with Bobby Roode, but he's expensive. JR probably is too and may be gone soon. They're finally going with Jerry Lynn in ROH, so that's a fine in-house solution. Stokely's a bit too much of a character for what we're shooting for. My preference would be Christopher Daniels, but he might still be popping up occasionally as an active wrestler so we're not there yet. Ace Steel would be a funny choice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFistsJustFlips Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Any former worker would be too much of a character to be a modern Jack Tunney. You need like David Crockett. Or Jerry Jarrett if he were still alive. Someone who has no need for character and is just a bland suit to spouse exposition. I had considered BJ Whitmere, but even he gives an air of danger if you wold cross him. Has to be someone with really no TV history and minimal notoriety to make it work. Maybe Danny Cage that runs Monster Factory. Or Tony Chimmel or some such. Even still, it's basically a lateral move because TK comes off as very nonthreatening like you would want out of an exposition character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe do the weeks Wednesday-Tuesday for the weekly thread opening/closing since Dynamite is the real start of the AEW week? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordi the former AEW fan Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I would like to suggest a temporary name change from The Acclaimed to The Acclaimers. Have them wear glasses. Possibly kilts. "And I would rap 500 bars and I would rap 500 more/ Just to BE the man who scissored Daddy Ass/ In Toronto at Forbidden Door." 2 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
