Probably never gonna say that again but I wish I were Gallows and Anderson!

Bubba, the past four years had so many unbelievable episodes... It's like the Dungeon of Doom dominated with Horsemen like precision.

Bro you got no idea

Thank God you started the thread, bubba. Otherwise this would turn into Politics and Wrestling Only!

Yeah, G00NTHA essentially turned Sheamus into one of the top babyfaces just by beating the shit out of him - and Sheamo is a big dude!

I disagree. He's very likeable in that Daniel Bryan-esque role of undersized asskicker. I mean, his nickname is Invincible, and we know, based on the comics of the same name, that doesn't translate to someone who's always winning.

Wagner yeeting Lee rocked

He saw Black Phone (decent movie btw) and decided he could have made a better mask. I have never seen a man so afraid of his own strengths, which is being able to connect with the crowd. Last week he cut a very heartfelt, genuine promo, the crowd eats it up, but then they have to react to shitty scary monsterrrrsssss which will lead to crowd apathy. At least this time he ain't sporting Dahmer's glasses.

That Knoxville feud might end up being his magnum opus. Not just the match, which was incredible, but the whole build to it. It all felt very organic, natural... it was the best. No wonder he got rewarded with the Honorary Uce role.

Willow is HER. Give her all the damn belts

This fucking SUCKS ASS Nah, that KO/Sami Zayn title win is going to be fucking SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Damn where did this come from? This sounds way too pessimistic for a company that's reaching 1 million viewers constantly (and that's actually good numbers in 2022's media consumption landscape) despite losing their biggest name under ridiculous circumstances.

Lol

The only major difference I can see between AEW and WWE's style is that the former does piledrivers while the latter doesn't. Other than that, reckless bumps, sometimes dangerous head drops, stiff shots etc, happen all over the place. The issue with AEW seems to be that they were not really putting their massive, massive roster to good use. Lots of people are relegated to the YouTube shows when they could be doing TV, taking minutes off excessively (and thus harsher on the body) big matches. Unrelated, I saw a clip of Athena just beating the shit out of a Canadian wrestler (whose name I sadly forgot), and people were saying she was unprofessional - it wasn't necessarily harsher than any Sheamus/GOONTHA match out there. In fact, it's the most Athena had shown personality since who knows when. Hitting hard can be done safely as well! Clubs to the back, chops to the chest, all that shit looks great and isn't going to give you a concussion!

I dunno, IIRC some of those names got injured in spots that wouldn't be out of the norm for them. Matt Hardy's horrific ladder bump isn't the same thing as Fenix managing to injure himself on a freak accident (and he still recovered in record time),or even as Punk breaking his foot on a stage dive. But of course, I think it's pertinent take a look at how many concussion related injuries there are, do an industry wide research on the matter, and try to make thing as safe as possible.

The AEW Title might be cursed

Does Jericho have creative control now?

Who wants to walk with Elias?????

Remember when they had KEVIN OWENS walk around in a suit? It's specially stupid now considering they gave Corbin nothing but stupid shit to wear when his whole demeanor fit the "suit-wearing heel" to a tee. Like, that dude has some of the sweetest fucking watches and he REALLY could make that shit work. It's as simple as that.

Baron Corbin as JBL 2.0 is the only logical conclusion. If he finally gets a decent attire, then we might finally get that main event Corbin run. Let's go

If Jungle Boy is gonna lose, just make him lose to Wardlow.

Ahmed was fucking great tho. Him wearing the LOD shoulder pads was fucking awesome and better than anything The OC has done (well, the feud against Usos/Roman was cool)

Any combination between Rey, Escobar and G00NTHER sounds lovely.

He might be just as big as a wrestling geek as TK. I don't mind it that much. I mean, him just being a quirky guy would be a massive improvement over SPOOKY CLOWNS SCARYYYY
