Just Dave

I've heard that. He himself has refuted that, but iiwii. His run wouldn't have to last forever, just long enough to really get a babyface over for pinning him. House of Black being the dragon sitting on all the treasure would be dope as hell.

Sure. When a babyface shows up with a garlic necklace and a stake to drive through his heart. But no, I understand your point. It should just really mean something when Malakai drops a fall.

I've posted this elsewhere, but this would be the time I'd REALLY elevate HOB. I'd probably put the Trios titles on them AND the TNT Title on Malakai. I'd probably have Buddy win either Eddie's NJPW title (if AEW is allowed to make that call) or the Owen. Or both. If TK was letting me book the show, I'd have Brody steamroll Mark Briscoe for the ROH World title, too. Put gold on all those guys.

I also really liked that 6 man, too. I'm hoping this sparks a TNT Title run for Malakai Black. He deserves it. Cope doesn't need a long reign and I'd like to see HOB raise their profile this spring.

Obviously, there was stuff here that I really, really liked, and stuff I didn't. PAC/Okada was The. Shit. Hard hitting. Snug. State of the Art. I could watch a best of 37 series between these two. Rosa/Storm was pretty great. This was the best Rosa has looked in a long time. Toni Storm is doing absolutely generational character work right now. Fantastic. Strong/KOR is just VERY not for me. Nobody in this UK group/angle is better off than they were 6 months ago, except maybe Adam Cole, because people have forgotten how not good he is. I'll have more later. I thought this was really a great show, and another show that AEW really needed to have.

Insert the “don’t you put that on me, Ricky Bobby!” gif here…

LOL. I mean, I'm still gonna watch, but yeah...

@tbarrie it was Ricky Starks.

There definitely only need to be one set of trios titles. HOB should win both and carry them until 2027, when their contracts expire. They should road grade everyone. They should all also achieve singles accolades. Imagine how fun a Buddy Matthews Owen Hart cup run would be. Would help that tourney build some prestige after the second winner was derailed by Punk leaving and the first winner was… adam Cole. Brody & Malakai holding singles gold. Maybe a standard tag title run, too. I’m a big HOB fan, and I think they bring a dynamic that’s unique to them in AEW. They should be doing a lot more.

Yeah, I don’t watch the whole show ever anymore, but I caught that segment on YouTube and that whole thing was aces.

I agree that would be if that was at all what I meant… ;). That was a dope match though.

They should’ve never taken the trios titles off of hob.

For guys who (allegedly) don’t want to be there, House of Black sure do bring the effort when they’re on tv…

I think Tony khan and the two guys involved might be the only ones left who feel that way…

I mean that Strong & O’Reilly are boring as hell, this Undisputed Kingdom thing is doa, and it’s totally unnecessary. Let’s put a match there that might actually excite people…
