TheVileOne Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Tony Khan should've fired Jungle Boy immediately after All In and done it in an even more public way than what happened with Punk. He should've sang "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" with new lyrics talking about Jungle Boy being fired. A lot went wrong before that whole mess, but that was not the night to pull shit. Jungle Boy is a pissant 26-year-old manchild who made everything about him and proved he's unreliable backstage and onstage. He shot his way out of a job in AEW and likely from ever getting a shot in WWE. An entitled dumbass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 One good thing about AEW is that it quite often doesn't feel like the same show week to week. There isn't just one AEW. Dynamite is: Samoa Joe vs HOOK for the World Title Gates of Agony/Brian Cage vs Bullet Club Gold for the ROH Six-Man Title Christian Cage vs Dustin Rhodes for the TNT Title Young Bucks Talk And some Women's Match and 1-2 more things. I feel like if you told someone that was the going to be the show two months ago (maybe even two weeks ago), they'd shrug and believe you, but no one would have possibly guessed it. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Perry needed to do was take thirty seconds to go up to Punk and say "I've got an idea on how to get myself a little bit of extra heel heat." On a positive note though, Perry doing New Japan Strong means that we don't have to worry about the Jurassic Express reunion that nobody has asked for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have it be him, Starks, Garcia, Kassidy and Quen as douchebag wannabe D-listers who's main concern is hooking up at the club after the show. Wrestling's done pseudo-Hollywood/rich prick characters before but I feel like this would be a different twist on that. i really like the idea of a group like that, but also gotta agree that Garcia and (especially) Starks should not be a part of it. But i'm struggling to think who else could fit in easily. Griff Garrison? a heel turn for Action Andretti? ironcially enough, i could see this working for Brian Pillman Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFistsJustFlips Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 12 hours ago, Curt McGirt said: Not to be a conspiracy theorist but I'm wondering if AEW had anything to do with this appearance. Lol well that's the safest bet ever. The company he showed up at is on such good terms with AEW they let one of their main event guys go on AEW PPV to announce he's signing with AEW 4 months early. It's definitely all approved. New Japan wouldn't use an AEW contract and all that and risk heat and politics messing with a good relationship. I'm sure JB is still on his AEW deal and getting paid by AEW. Who knows maybe they didn't want him back and this was a compromise. Or maybe lawyers got involved and said you can't ice him out the remainder of his contract or some such. I'd be legitimately shocked if this was not agreed to by all parties and part of at least a vague plan to rehab JB / reinvent him. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Since I am on #TeamJackPerry my ideal would be he does New Japan/New Japan Strong for a few months to work off some rust and work on his new heel character before "invading" AEW and starting a feud with..... Ospreay, leading to a match at Double or Nothing. He shouldn't go right into any title pictures, just do his own side feud for a bit like Swerve/Page are doing before moving on to something more serious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Definitely AEW approved. As mentioned by a few of us, there's obviously no payoff to any shooty thing involving the All In stuff because Punk is gone, and candidly, I'm not interested in any of that either - but, with that said, if AEW feels that needs to be addressed on-screen (even just opaquely/ loosely) lest Perry be "Streisand Effect-ed" by it for the rest of his time there, then I can think of no better way to do it than via a program with Kingston. Again, not necessarily clamoring for the shooty BS, but if word from the top is that it absolutely has to be done, I have faith that Eddie can elevate the material with some scathing promos levying a lot of the same criticisms of Perry that are on the last couple pages here Edit @mystmangood timing!

Haha as much as I wish it was in reference to her oft-poor 'tude exclusively, there's a bit more to it - long story short, it's a term for trying to hide something and inadvertently drawing way more attention to it by doing so.

HarryArchieGus Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) Re: Battle of the Belts These last couple shows (at least) feel like they're getting thru a content contract they wished they hadn't signed. Further, I don't quite get why they feel the need to make BOTB a separate show. It confuses or makes clunky the promo materials. Why not sell it as 'Collision: Battle of the Belts - the three hour special'? And actually build to said 'special' the same way you would a PPV.

A quarterly Clash-esque big TV card is such a great idea in theory, but it’s been treated like an afterthought since the jump. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm okay with trying some things out and failing. Especially with this company's success rate. Combining the show with, first, Rampage and now Collision was and is a positive move. Unfortunately, the 'afterthought' part of the booking seems to persist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
