AEW AEW XXXIX: Shots Fired!!!

[Padre]

I'm late to the Hangman Champ talk, but here are my thoughts anyways. I like hangman, as he is a likable dude. Obviously the man is over, but I don't think he doesn't need the belt. On one hand, I respect the pay off of the 2 year arc. On the other, AEW is still trying to grow. The timing of the Punk/Cole/Bryan signings was just really unfortunate for Page. Those guys are known names that would draw. How long will Adam continue to draw after the "he did it!" luster wears off? I'm not saying I have the answer to that. He could continue to grow, and be a great champ for all I know. This is why I wish AEW had a legit 3rd belt that was between the TNT and World. That belt could be put on Hangman and they could have pushed out Him and Omega. Kenny drops the belt now and later reclaims it. Then you get the Hulk/Warrior match, belt for belt. Kenny could play off the "I've held multiple belts, Hangman can't handle it" angle. Iron man, 3 falls, and you either have Hangman go over clean, or the bucks turn on Kenny. Either way, Omega starts his redemption tour.

Short term the belt should go on Miro or.......Cody.

Miro could play into "God made me lose the belt as a test to see if I was worthy." Cody totally could play into the over the top baby face. Used his pull and stardom to make Tony forgo the no title stipulation. Keep feeding the people that hate him right now, but he would still be over with those who like him. Then you eventually have him drop to one of your big players as a bridge to Kenny getting it back after time.

The belt should either go to a heel Cody or MJF. or if they go the face route Brian Danielson or Punk. Those are the four mvps right now when you consider drawing power and everything else. Hopefully Hangman wins it at Full Gear (because he will anyway), loses it to a heel Cody and either Brian or Punk win it from Cody.

Tony loves big asses

Should just have a booty belt at this point. Throw Anna Jay, Conti, Hayter all in a big tournament for that belt instead.

 

[Sycho Sid]

Man, who would think I would be super hyped for Daniel Bryan vs. Rusev. Good on AEW for completely rehabilitating Miro.

 

[Fonx]

So everyone that is "over as fuck" should be World Champion every single time they become "over as fuck"?

Yes, that´s how wrestling is supposed to work. You have the look, you are fucking over and you can actually wrestle, it´s a no brainer. The best moment would´ve been a couple months ago but they had to put the spotlight on the new signees.

 

[Fonx]

Hangman sucks, there is nothing interesting about that dude
People got caught up in the bullshit hype of him being the man to.lead AEW in the very beginning of the promotion and so they want it to pay off, I get that, but the minute they put the belt on him and theres no more stupid crowd frenzy over the storyline and all you got is boring bland ass Hangman holding a belt and trying to be the top guy with his limited mic skills and nothing else, they are gonna turn on him so fucking fast

He doesn´t need to be the guy carrying the brand. He doesn´t even need a length title reing like Kenny, but a title win now solidfies him as a main eventer. Also I´m sure AEW and especially TNT want Punk or Bryan to carry the belt as soon as possible.

 

[Fonx]

Because it would add an added layer of drama to each match and make them into the event spectacles that they deserve to be
Plus, the AEW title deserves to be defended in a series of mat classics of the highest level

You youngsters can worry about that "WWE guy" stuff if you want, us grizzled territories vets are used to watching rasslers move from place to place so I dont give a hoot about that nonsense
A great wrestler is a great wrestler and thats who should hold the top prize in America

If I was TK I´d put Bryan as the TNT champion and have him hold that belt for more than a year. He would solidify that belt and can have all those killer matches you mention, yet it gives AEW extra credibilty having the guy that just main evented Wrestlemania not being the top champion on the show, like here in AEW we have some people still "above" him.

Yall mother fuckers havnt kept up with much rasslin outside the E for a long time and it shows.

Hangman is winning the belt. He's been the elites project since day 1 and the guy Kenny and the bucks have wanted to make. This has been his story since dynamite started and it's time.

He got MOX fucking booed.

Punk and Bryan...neither need the belt.
However.

Punk is doing a long term story where he is building being back to that asshole Punk we know he's best at.
This Eddie shit is the first step there.

Bryan can either win the tournament and put over page. Or help build Miro.

Bryan's contract is gonna be part time. He will have some time off soon.

He and kenny will do like best of 2 or 3 thing.

What else....

Sign danhausen.

Powering through NXT. That first segment really set the tone for a shit show. Fortunately I got Chase, Steiner, and D'Angelo all in a row so I'm feeling reinvigorated. And now Ugo number 3 is coming out...God damn it.

 

[D.R.H.]

That's the guy who almost brocked himself last week

Ah...I thought it was...wtf am I supposed to call he/she/we/they/it/those/waffle...whatever the fuck pronoun or adjective or descriptive I'm supposed to use for Gabbi Tuft.

Loved Dynamite this week. Top to bottom - fantastic!

Kenny and the Dark Order dude had a good match. Hangman exuded all the qualities of a champ afterwards.

Black cut an interesting promo.

Punk cut a great promo. Seamlessly connected being the good guy for Mox and calling out Eddie. How it's done!

Great to see Jungle Boy back. CONCHAIRTO!!!

FTR had a good match with the Lucha guys. Their entrance music was, something.

Dan Lambert/ATT and Inner Circle segment was brilliant. PVZ was great. She's a natural on the mic. Top quality professional wrestling.

Hayter vs Anna Jay was fine.

MJF and Darby were great. MJF is so believable on the mic. Dude is always on. Great brawl as well.

Cody vs Andrade was great.

Silver is fine on the mic. Lotta energy.

Main event was great. Right guy won. Almost got me with the count out tease. Bryan vs Miro is gonna be great.

D'Angelo is great...Lash Legend is like a downgraded Naomi...MSK are officially the new Bucks. Fuck those guys right off a cliff into a waiting Nia Jax.

Agreed.

I also liked Xylon killing Stone (but I enjoy most things Stone has been a part of), and the Ciampa promo. Bron's clothesline is money.

So with these releases by WWE, Keith lee, Mia Yim and Ember Moon seem to be solid fits for AEW
