You know what’s fun about Hangman vs Dragon? We don’t know. Because AEW is still too relatively new for us to know their booking philosophy inside and out. We kinda think we know now, but we’re not sure. Personally I think Danielson can better survive a loss right now than Page, so that’s what I sorta expect. But I don’t have the cynical certainty that comes from knowing the formula after decades of observation. Which is nice! AEWs booking of their Women division doesn't make me want any of the horsewomen make the jump. Although I do think Khan would probably book the division much better. The one thing that WWE is more consistent than any other company is featuring the woman as prominently on all three brands. Even if the booking sucks at least you get more than one Women's match with enough time for the Women to have enough time to have a decent match. I'm as big of a Dragon mark as any so I understand why some of you would like to see him win, it wouldn't shock me if he does win but hearing Khan talk about how Page winning the title was built up since the start, I don't think he should lose it yet. I think they've done a good job at making us feel like things could go in many possible direction as far as the World title. WWE with the main titles it's either to predictable or Unpredictable in a bad way because you know Vince can never settle on a decision. Bryan look to be just as good as he's ever been and I don't see him slowing down any time soon. I see him having an ROH type World title run in AEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Yeah, I think that's the third match from AEW this year you could pretty comfortably give a full 5er. Wow. Everything hit. Gotta nice Wardlow smesh and two other very good matches in addition to the classic world title match. The Ryback line was sick.

Had me hooked right up until the final bell. Puts Page up there with classic NWA champs like Brisco, Funk, Race... with guys like Ric, Baba, Nagata, Fujinami etc etc among the "guys with great 60-minute title defenses" pantheon. Rest of the show seemed pretty damned good, but to be honest I was spent after watching that. And, after all of our speculation, I don't think there can be much doubt that they made the right call here, going 60.

For Great Justice Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Five star match. I might be most impressed by the ten star cardio. That's insane - Hangman's had, what, a small handful of matches since his paternity leave and has the tank to go a full 60? Damn. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Dynamite Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) Eight people had a match tonight. More people will be featured in one match on Rampage. I guess when you've got the premiere worker of a generation on the roster that really isn't an issue. But enough about Serena Deeb. I am humbled to be given matches like the opener on free TV. I am thankful for it. HOWEVER... I think this was a really good opportunity to anoint Page as legit and a win over Danielson in Minute 59 would have been an excellent way to do it. They're conditioning the fanbase to know draws can actually happen (good!), but only if Kenny or Danielson are involved (less good). Nice shirt, Phil.

Matt D Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Ok. I got the memo. The “Winter is Coming” branding is about Sting and not debuts. …and if they were going to punt on Dragon/Page, that was a hell of a punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's insane - Hangman's had, what, a small handful of matches since his paternity leave and has the tank to go a full 60? Damn. He just hasn't really had any long single matches period. I scrolled back on cagematch to mid-2017 and the 25 minute match against Omega is an outlier. The vast, vast majority of his singles matches have been 7-15 minutes long. Since my stopping point of August 2017 (match times are not as regularly recorded past that), I could only see 6 singles matches that went over 20 minutes and none hit 30. Impressive showing from Hangman. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_W_P Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 While I love the idea of more matches going to the draw, where do you go from here with Bryan v Page if not an immediate rematch? Page sending Bryan to the 'back of the line' would look heelish, while Bryan doing anything but fighting for the title would feel like filler until he gets his rematch. I'd love them to announce an immediate rematch booked for New Year's Smash, maybe with a "No Time Limit" stipulation, that would see Page make that cover at the end and put a stamp on this. God Damn if Bryan Danielson isn't the greatest professional wrestler of the last 20 years though. What an absolute machine he is. Page kept with him pretty much the whole way through as well. 17 million stars! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
