zendragon Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 The wrestling was good the other stuff not so much. It feels like the CC scratches Tony K's itch to book like a super indy, yet we still have creative holes. Was Big Billy Starks just an attempt to see PPVs? Certainly a weird insult. I hope this devil stuff gets wrapped up by the end of the month Fun to think of a bizarro CC where its guys like JD Drake, Bear Bronson, JJ, Uno and Serpentico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 3 hours ago, Casey said: I still think the best way to go is with the Devil being Britt Baker, with Wardlow, Sammy Guevara, Jack Perry & Kyle O’Reilly as the goons or whatever you want to call them. Or maybe just have it as Britt and the goons are just nameless and faceless because that’s not the important part. Either way, we need her far away from the women’s division soon because I’m pretty sure Jamie Hayter is nearing a return date surely. And nobody wants face Jamie versus heel Britt hogging time on TV. I really, really like your idea a lot, but I kinda think KOR/Wardlow are the odd men out on it. Unless I'm confusing you with someone else who posted a similar lineup, I remember one time you posted this, you made mention of there being a 'four pillar' connection between Perry, Guevara, and Baker (in referencing the Punk promo ages ago where he said Baker replaced MJF in the pillars). What if we go FULL PILLAR, and the big Devil reveal is a heel Darby Allin? I think it'd be cool to see him vs MJF again but with the dynamics fully switched, and it's the perfect jumping off point to eventually get to Darby vs. Sting at Revolution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God dammit, preach. Why was he not out there the next Wednesday or Saturday as "True Giant" Will Hobbs or "Showstopper" Will Hobbs, challenging someone for one of the 32 titles? Like yeah, you can still do it, but it loses it's 'oomph' when it's a month or two after. The Jericho/Omega/Callis thing it was built around is already over (or at least back burnered while they challenge Big Bill and Starks)!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I think it's difficult to find a happy medium between an all star goon squad (it took all four of them to take down Joe, Hangman, or MJF? Who takes the falls in matches?) and a really underwhelming reveal of one big name and like....The Kingdom, which just isn't going to work for a Blood and Guts program. I think the Patriarchry is probably the closest to the pin in that respect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to address the WWE rumors, but if they're gonna be off WBD TV at some point, now actually would be a good time to unify the TNT title with the AEW WHC, and bump the International or new Triple Crown up to the #2 slot for the men. You could make B&G the big Luchasaurus babyface turn on Christian and have him toss him thru the cage or something, too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 oh yeah.. did we just have a Dynamite episode where the previous week's main event maybe got a brief mention and both competitors in that match were pretty much absent? although AEW sorta works on 2 week cycles for some of the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I feel like Toni asking Taz if she should do color or play by play was a set up to reference her being filmed in black & white, but Taz didn't get the joke set up. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 So, I think I figured out part of the problem; for much of his career, Chris Jericho had a gift for getting just about anything over. The more asinine, the more he was able to nail it. But that "Big Billy Starks" shit was "Rooty Tooty Booty" levels of cringe, and it might be time for either Danielson or Khan to have a talk with folks doing segments with Ricky Starks that going off script is a terrible idea. He served MJF, Copeland, Jericho (2x), and now Omega too. For the record, I don't think there's been some prerogative to bury Starks. I think guys get flustered when they go head to head with him and they reach for the lowest hanging fruit. It's a panic move. He really seems unflappable. Even on the rare occasions when his shit doesn't land verbally, his composure is on point. I don't think some of the veterans are used to that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I think Malaki Black is the devil. At least, he's the Devil we know. It's about time he gets back into main event singles matches. or just single matches. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HATE THE ELITE. 13 hours ago, Shartnado said: Someone on Reddit (yeah, I know) had a pretty interesting idea: what if there are TWO devils, one trying to help MJF and the other trying to hurt him, and they aren't aware of who the other person is! In that case the devils were Britt and Cole. But of course, they both would have goons, so that theory kinda falls apart there. But I found that a very interesting outcome. Obviously Cole was there to help MJF but Britt was there to hurt him because he hogs all of Cole's time and Britt's tv time. I, for one, would be slightly interested in a Devil NEGRO and Devil AZUL twist. I've also read that the henchmen and whomever the Devil end up being are the people in the costumes themselves, hence a lot of folks looking at body types and such. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 All the ninjas are the women's division, pissed off that they only get one match a show and taking it out on the promotion's champ.
