The true MVP of AEW: 

Edited October 1, 20251 yr by The Green Meanie

Remember Double or Nothing 2025 and how the final of the Men's Owen Cup, Hangman Adam Page vs. Will Ospreay was a pick em? I went with Page because I like him and Ospreay is overrated imo. Hangman Adam Page beat Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at All In 2025 ending his reign of terror. With hindsight, the right decision was made because Ospreay would have vacated the AEW World Championship after only a month for the neck surgery he went on to have.

Great collaboration there. A reminder Batman is the greatest superhero of all time!

Is Hawkgirl about to clobber Will Ospreay with her mace? Dude's already injured.

no Superman on that cover? or Flash? but you have two Green Lanterns?

Huh. Odd that I failed to notice Superman's absence. Supes is kind of a big deal at DC.

I'm genuinely curious how this story is going to work, though. Are they going to give the AEW characters fantastic abilities to make them relevant next to superheroes? Or are they just going to figure, hey, if we can pretend Batman and Nightwing are useful when Wonder Woman, Zatanna, and multiple Green Lanterns are around, we can do the same for a bunch of wrestlers?

Hey bud, you spelled Booster Gold wrong! 

Thought of you at the closeout store. They had just put the first volume of All Star Batman out. 

Going back to what username said in the September thread, IMO Theory comes across as the most Ruthless Aggression era WWE guy ever even with his indie roots. He would need a refresh of some sort, maybe in WWE maybe AEW, maybe somewhere else, but he needs a total revamp.

If they do a revamp of him, it's now or never.  He's out until the new year, I believe, and will almost certainly come back as a face.

Have him come back, murder Grayson Waller, have a good run at the Rumble, let him have a solid midcard feud, and push him to the upper card by the summer. 

Going to Jacksonville also makes 100% sense because he gets infinite new feuds, wouldn't be stuck as a face, and has better fit to a higher work rate style.

At least there's no Green Lantern Fan.

I missed Superman. Naturally, pun intended it was all about Batman for me.

Yeah, I missed Superman as well.

Thank you for thinking of me.

His photo is in the DC marketing department office:

"TARGET AUDIENCE"

The guy posts here.  I’m no fan either but maybe we shouldn’t be throwing mean-spirited strays completely unprovoked.

we don't slander the good name of Nightwing in these parts.

Great news.

Heh. I was thinking my slander of Batman might get a reaction from The Natural, but I didn't realize we had a big Nightwing fan on the board as well.

And yeah, using "pretend" was unnecessarily contentious. Some creative teams have managed to convincingly portray the highly-skilled normal heroes as usefully contributing even alongside godlike beings. (Others not so much.)

I was too taken aback missing Superman or I would have ;).

Big Boom AJ & Big Justice have challenged Trent & Rocky Romero at… Full Gear? Uhhhh what?

A match of that magnitude obviously needs more than a month to promote it properly.

Oh it’s in New Jersey too, that makes sense. Apparently it’s also Big Boom AJ and a mystery partner versus Roppongi Virus

Nigel McGuinness says Bryan Danielson won't return to the ring because he’s trying to steal his glory on commentary now. 

“I think the only reason he might do that is because he sees me do it, and once again jealousy becomes a factor. He’s enjoying his life with his kids. He has probably made some sort of promise to his missus in that regard, that would be my guess. He doesn’t want to get on the wrong side of her as well, she clearly wears the pants in the relationship.

I don’t see it happening. I think he’s trying to really transition and steal one more thing from me when it comes to commentary, so I don’t see it happening.”

I love how Nigel NcGuinness is still keeping his feud with Bryan Danielson going.

all in good fun brother. i think i used to have a Nightwing avatar on here maybe? If so, it would have been a long ass time ago. I've used this Guitar Hero character for quite awhile, maybe it's time to switch it up again. 

i think it can be important to have a non-powered hero alongside the literal and figurative gods, just to keep perspective. Of course, that goes out the window with Batman since he's the best at everything of course and can take down armies and gods without breaking a sweat (with the all important "prep time", naturally [no pun intended]). I enjoy Batman, but his prominence at DC really means he gets shoehorned into everything, and since he's there he has to play a pivotal role, regardless of whether that makes sense or not.
