John from Cincinnati Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Surprised to see them listed as Santana & Ortiz in the graphic and tweet. Any chance they're backing off on the P&P name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now having visions of an AEW mod over a Smash Bros game and it's just wonderful. I would love to play that. But to go full Smash we need all kinds of wacky items and an equivalent of a Smash Ball which I'm totally on board for. I think I just have Smash Bros on the brain so thankfully I get out of work in a few minutes to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lucha brothers are coming off a loss to Cody and Dustin on Wednesday and the Dark Order has been idle for a month while I believe Hangman and Page have now won two matches as a tag team. I’m sure there will be a rankings shake up on Wednesday morning that makes it make more sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodear Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 That tag match will be interesting just for the Omega-Page and Bucks interactions. Maybe they should have doubled down on that and made it those two teams against the Rhodes Boys. Not sure what the other two teams add to the match other than Santana & Ortiz being the obvious foils and putting the heels in that outnumbered hole is generally seen as counter intuitive.

The best thing about WWE All-Stars was probably the awesome hype packages they did for the fantasy feuds that you could complete in the game. I guess what I'm saying is that AEW needs to step up its hype game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Adam Cole had that huge lump on the side of his forehead and someone on here asked "What's that horrible lump at the side of Adam Cole's head?" and someone on here responded "Adam Page". 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I still don't like the records being shown, they have got to beef them up. Give the stars some tomato cans.

They could do something different with him where he stands up for himself and says he's his own man and doesn't need anyone's help, the fans didn't get behind him because he's a nice guy or a good partner, they got behind him because he does cowboy shit and then discus lariat. Man, that Memphis crowd seemed red hot for the Hangman. Funny how the seeds of a heel turn seems to have swerved the story they orginally set out to tell. For what has happened I think you're on the money with the above. This current Page feels trained in the art of the rattlesnake.

Not criticizing you directly, just the sad state of wrestling today. So true, and one of the many positives of the early All Elite Wrestling 'brand'. That said, I'd really like to see SCU drop the gold straps to a team capable of selling a Main Event match. Either that or try them in this postition as heels - which seems too simple, but would no doubt much better suit their talents. Daniels in particular is such a good heel and such a pathetically weak babyface. Tho I do like his jaunty stepping to the ring, twirling that mic, but then that could also be a heel movement.

From what I'm seeing the rankings are fun for keeping the discussion going in convo, and on boards such as these. The rankings are ultimately there to indicate where they may be going, or clues to where they're going. Mgmt selecting some teams to compete in a contenders match seems quite alright.

I am totally agreed with you on your point, and actually when they've run a squash (like Cody squashing a dude a few weeks back), it was so refreshing. I especially want to see the champs run through a couple of jobbers. You can have all the twenty-minute struggle matches between wrestlers as you like, but they have more impact when we've seen those wrestlers killing the opponents who are clearly beneath them and thus we know that these are two wrestlers on another level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 He's perfect for them. Great look and size but can do the spotfests like only a few other big men around today. He's also a better promo than you'd think though he's lacking a bit of an aura. I hope he actually sells less in AEW than he did on the indies to give him a bit of a bite. A guy who looks like a super hero and can move like a super hero and lift like a super hero shouldn't be bumping unless necessary. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) It was odd seeing him vs RVD on Impact this week. Because up until now, they'd done a good job of making him seem like a guy who is Lashley sized (and he feuded with Lashley at the start of his Impact run). But vs RVD, they were pretty much the exact same size, only with Cage having the incredible muscular definition in his physique, whilst RVD has the veteran bulk now. As far as him taking bumps, you can't really be doing the Mr GMSI gimmick and then not let your opponents get their shit in too. Possibly JR or Tony might borrow Don Callis' "He's letting the opponents do moves to him, to show that he can survive them" concept.
