I actually wish AEW would make more use of Rankings and Win loss records for guys trying to earn title shots instead of cold matches (or matches set up over silly feuds like WWE does) In Fight Underground, we have a Fight Council of about a dozen Pittsburgh wrestling vets that run the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zendragon Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I'd kinda like AEW to have at least a Jack Tunney character as a figure head. just show up and make matches hand out suspensions ect. anything other than another evil boss 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I just watched a little promo Christian did about being The Work horse and wanting to challenge Omega. Seems like Christian is ready to put his work boots on. So it'll be interesting to see how well he does compared to Edge. Christian doesn't have as much pressure as Edge to deliver. Edge is one of those guys that's looked at as a way better wrestler than he actually but Christian is a way better wrestlers but he doesn't have the Charisma Edge does especially within WWE. AEW is bigger on the workrate and I think because he's considered a Legend in AEW I think especially early on his matches will be seen as a big deal. I kinda feel sorry for Edge because if there was no Covid last year he would've gotten a really good reaction at Mania. I think alot of fans are used to him now a year later and he won't get the same reaction. Think Christian could really grow his support of the fans in AEW if he can deliver on the same level of before he left. Edge has more to lose if he doesn't deliver just based off the criticism he got after his match at Mania. The fact that it got to him so bad that He and Orton felt they had to do a rematch on the next PPV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_K Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Dustin is in incredible shape; far more affecting in that Youtube link above playing himself than continuing in latex and facepaint at 51. Would be good to see him adopt that persona within AEW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having been around any wrestling schools, was this showcase representative of the normal talent level seen? I saw glimmers and flashes of competence from some, and a couple were clearly further along in their development or just had IT; but most seemed like there wasn't any sort of screening process before admittance other than "do you have the money, are you willing to come train during a pandemic". I'm not trying to be negative. All seemed to be enjoying themselves, and the pre-match interviews were a nice window...I'm just curious as to whether you guys saw anything I missed that screams "future star".

The Natural Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Really like Sting's entrance for the music, use of snow and video accompanying it. Might well be my favourite Sting entrance theme. It's fighting it out with WCW's Man Called Sting and Crow Sting theme music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Last week I wondered if we would ever get an answer to who fucked with Hangman's phone and I started to suspect it was Matt Hardy. Great job, Matt Jackson. Way to piss away your friendship instead of talking it over to find out what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'm watching Uno & Grayson on Unrestricted, and I'm a little shocked that they discussed that botched beatdown at the end of the last Dynamite in 2019. Uno also confirms that Matt Hardy and LUTHER were discussed as being the Exalted One (and kind of references Scurll being discussed without saying his name). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 God...Imagine if it was Luther. Dark Order wouldn't even be a thing by now. Luther is just the dirt worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 He goes crazy. He's a guy for people to beat, which is fine. If he were getting storylines, like QT Marshall, then I would be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 Yeah I like Luther as a meme, but if he was the leader of the Dark Order... ooof. Jericho needs to stop giving input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 In their defense, I doubt Luther could have done much to hurt my opinion of the Dark Order. Have to wonder how many character changes Matt Hardy would have had by now if he'd come in as the Exaulted One. 2 hours ago, Casey said: It ShOuLd'Ve BeEn On DyNaMiTe Nah, we're good.
