Brock/Lee? The Blondes? The majority of the Women's roster who badly need the reps - many of whom aren't exactly ready for regular feature in prime time. Here's a link to the AEW roster for reference. Honestly there's a number of people who pretty much only make tv to job. Private Party you mentioned but you have The Acclaimed, Bear Country, Angelico, Colt Cobana is a vet that they could be using, Preston Vance , Penelope Ford, Butcher and Blade, and I feel like people are high on JD Drake. I'd like to see any of those people get a run in a serious program before adding in more pieces. Plus you have the "young Lions" like Brock, Lee, other Lee, Top Flight and The Blondes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Give Jake Hager a pink slip, and bring back Matt Cardona and let him join Jericho's group, since Jericho is basically trying to do a watered down version of Cardona in GCW. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) The easy answer is Deonna. In my heart, I want to see Josh Alexander drop people on their heads in the mid-card. Hopefully once they are done passing the TNT title back and forth between Sammy and Scorpio Sky, Miro will come back and kill his way to the belt and we can get Miro vs. Josh Alexander for a championship on PPV somewhere down the line. A roster with Wardlow, The Butcher, Miro, Josh Alexander, Keith Lee, Lance Archer, and Moose would be like the pro wrestling version of Destroy All Monsters. AEW needs to snipe Alex Hammerstone from MLW before the WWE does. That is the thing that needs to happen. Or maybe Hammerstone needs to go to NXT and feud with the Steiner boy. I cannot decide.

SturmCRF Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I don't like all this Miro TNT Championship talk I keep seeing. When he comes back he should demolish everything in his path and become World Champion. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miro should unify the belts really and then he and Josh Alexander should smash an entire building to pieces trying to murder each other over the most prestigious championship in all of sports. In normal times, evil should be fought by good, but in times like this, well, it should be fought by another kind of evil Edited April 29, 2022 by J.T. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's how AEW moves forth without constant 50/50 booking. The wrestlers ready to move up like Top Flight and the Acclaimed are clearly being positioned similarily to how the original pillars were. Losing while gaining experience and building their profile. And no doubt moving up the card when the time is right. Building to and having fans want to see Bowens/Caster get a big win is smart booking. A lot of ppl forget how guys like Sammy, Darby and Jungle Boy started out. Anyway, point being, the bloated roster theory, or idea that there's all this talent being misused, is a pretty empty argument. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I voted Deonna BUT I'm loathe to see TK book her the only way he knows how to book main event female heels, where they bury the whole division in every promo. I like Alexander but that headgear looks dumb. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim pickings out there on AEW TV for people who want to see Buddy Matthews wrestle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumanChessgame Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Deonna for all the reasons already mentioned, though having her there wouldn't really change things unless the women's division is competently booked and given proper treatment. Is Sara Del Rey still with NXT? After the big kerfluffle with Allison Danger, she's also someone I'd consider bringing in to help run the AEW women's division. I like the MCMGs but would rather see Alex Shelley get a singles push in ROH. In the height of Generation Next's run I was hoping he would get a world title run.

Shelley was supposedly going to be the one to de-throne Samoa Joe at Final Battle '04, but his TNA commitment led to Gabe's decision to put the title on Austin Aries. My vote went to the Motor City Machine Guns. I'd love to see them going after either the AEW or ROH tag titles.

Ramo2653 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 MCMGs all day. I'm not that crazy about Deonna as others. Jonah is doing stuff for NJPW stateside so I'd assume he'd get a look once they start requesting more visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Does Rick Steiner mean nothing to you? One of my favourite Ventura/Schiavone interactions was when Jesse was talking about how Rick wearing the headgear was stupid, and Tony asked him why. And Jesse said “What, like getting Cauliflower ears is going to make that guy ugly?” 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bald head without facial hair doesn't exactly lend itself to a varsity style headgear. Too bad for the Walking Weapon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
