I know I say this a lot but those guys are the heart and soul of the promotion. We’ll look back one day and really appreciate how important Best Friends have been to AEW than we already do. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricochet, Gargano, Cassidy being the big three. Boys with Excalibur and the PWG set. Boys with everybody that came out of the CZW/CHIKARA side. Chuck was never going anywhere.

The Natural Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I've heard of Danhausen but this is the first time I've seen him having never sought him out. What's his gimmick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very silly fun character, will probably fit perfectly in the lower to mid card. Edited January 27, 2022 by Sammo~! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I wasn't likely to care for OC-Cole to begin with, but I'm surprised they thought that was worth the lights out stip with all the garbage they've been doing on a near weekly basis. Didn't really distinguish itself from anything else on these shows. Maybe could have been a falls count anywhere? Finish was about on par with a couple of those they've done. But of course the stip was clearly about the contrivance of keeping Cole's record "clean." Curious where Cole goes from here. Do we really think he's rushing to the PPV match with Page? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineteen Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Feeling more stoked for what's coming up than really anything that happened tonight. I thought the ladder match was fun but the "flow" was a little off. I was kind of tired tonight so I was half checked out by the time OC/ACBB started, a few fun spots for what it's worth. I do like how AEW continues to just take it's time with things. The Jericho/P&P saga, whatever's going on with Julia. But for what's coming, real high hopes for Rampage with Jurassic Express and Private Party, and definitely next week for House of Black and Death Triangle and what seems to be an Atlantic City death match for Page and Archer. Well, even the "lesser" Dynamite episodes are at least still watchable and do enough to keep people invested. Might as well.... I mean, I get why people like Danhausen but curious how he's actually gonna fit in here. I mean isn't the dude pretty much just the mummy from Aqua Teen Hunger Force?

If not Cole, who? I think it's nice symmetry with Britt's path to the title and you can reheat him while keeping him a shit bird heel in time for the ppv. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why it's a well written story imo. Even though there's a conflict, both sides are being perfectly reasonable so far. I'm expecting they'll make it very clear who the heel is eventually. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Not expecting anything from Danhausen as a wrestler but my God the guest commentary on Dark and Elevation. Let him be their Dark Arts analyst. The Mike Tenay of Malachi Black and Dark Order squashes as whacky hijinks with Taz and Eddie Kingston ensue Edited January 27, 2022 by For Great Justice 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not seen Danhausen do his thing yet either, but I can see Old Man Sting at least trying to turn heel and walk out after losing patience with and snapping on that gothball, while Darby looks on and somehow becomes a man in the process. Good way to split those two without any I'll feelings between and no goodbyes or sorry shit. Also, how long has Cody been throwing dead accurate forearm smashes like that? Is it a height ratio thing with him and Sammy's head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's storytelling value with these Lights Out loses down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's nice symmetry with Britt's path to the title and you can reheat him while keeping him a shit bird heel in time for the ppv. Their options are limited. Bryan's moved on to Mox. Jericho will be knee-deep in Kingston/IC stuff. I can't see them rushing to Cody or Kenny that fast, not that Omega is that close to ready nor should he be rushing. Punk and MJF probably aren't finishing things off after one. Black has settled into the tag division. Andrade is going with Darby and pretty cooled off. So it's probably Cole.

Jiji Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Yeah, things have been in a kind of stasis outside of Punk/MJF, especially after Danielson and Page settled their score. Not been the best stretch of AEW tv. They should have 3 or 4 people warm enough to bump up for a believable title match but that isn't the case right now. Miro is still MIA too. God is going to get it real good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I honestly feel for @Jijiwho didn't want him in AEW to say the least. But I can't help but loving that gothy goofball and I think Danhausen's going to be a nice fit. Plus this might be the chance to get my friend's soon-to-be father-in-law to finally check him out since he's a huge Svengoolie fan. I haven't seen anything from Velvet/Hirsch on but I'm okay with finding out what happened. I will say for what I saw so far I thought it was pretty damn incredible. I wish they had just the ladder match be the gimmick one for the week but man that was wild. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
