Not faking…. But it’s no secret on the male side there’s only like 3 big time stars and main eventers….. and one of them in Cena basically in Hollywood now
Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
Watched the show this morning, and.
First off, I think people are overreacting to the draw. It works for not just the match, but the overall character development and stories that they seem to be going for, but I'll get back to that.
At some point, we gotta have a conversation about how this argument of Zack Sabre or Bryan Danielson isn't even close. I like Sabre, but there are still long stretches of his matches where I know I'm just sitting there watching him do some shyt just to say he can do it. It's like the joint manipulation version of flippy shyt, but without the excitement. Danielson's shyt feels like almost everything serves a purpose, and most importantly has real character in it.
I also liked that it ran the 60 and didn't really start going heavy with the near falls until the back half of the match, and even then, the near falls were far more believable than most.
Reasons the draw worked for me:
It furthers Hangmayne's storyline that at minimum, he's Omega's true equal since they're the only two people that Danielson can't beat. Establishes him as better should he definitively beat him later.
It provides a way to establish that Danielson can be final boss level dangerous without eventually painting themselves into a corner on how to have someone beat him. He's shown twice that he's fallible. Also establishes that Hangmayne is legit outside of his matches with Omega, and doesn't put them into a situation where a challenger needs weapons grade plutonium to be believable, since he looked defeatable under the right conditions, but not weak.
Also, if they eventually pull the trigger on MJF being the one to take the title off of Hangmayne, this is TONS of material for him.
And besides, they can always go gimmick match for the rematch. They managed to not beat anyone, out with guys over, and not burn any booking possibilities. All around win for me.
To add on:
1) There have been a grand total of 3 draws in AEW's history (Hangman/Danielson, Omega/Danielson, Cody/Darby). I could see the complaints about there being 2 in a matter of 4 months, but I'd prefer a draw over a DQ/fukk finish that WWE relies upon heavily. Plus it's not being used in excess.
2) Don't think it's been talked about enough, but Hangman Page needs more respect put on his name for going the limit. He's not a ring technician to say the least, and I never would have expected him to ever have a 60 minute singles match and he hung in there for it. Personally would have been better if he got the pin right after the end to make it more decisive, but as long as this is run back with Page getting the win it's all good.
3) With MJF, there's no "if they eventually pull the trigger", it's when. At the latest, I'm guessing the title change will happen at Double or Nothing.
An appearance from Hookaveli tha Don would have pushed it past a milli

He made a reference to being a king in the promo. AEW reportedly just signed Brody King too. Plus, whoever he was talking to in the promo looked big as hell and definitely not Julia Hart
But Julia will be joining them.
They gained viewers during a 1 hour match.

Why would they put green ass Julia in a stable with Black? He needs legit wrasslers.
And the figure used in the package was clearly a man by the size seen.

Meltzer was saying that they've had 7 matches half an hour or longer, and every time the viewers went up as the match went on.
The other thing too is they're on live on the west coast right now. Since hockey started I think. So once they move to TBS and the show is on in prime time across the country the numbers should go up a bit.
It will be interesting to see how that goes and hopefully they're able to be consistently on Wednesday nights in the same time slot.
Having said that. I don't give a fukk how many viewers they got, as long as they got enough to keep putting out piff like they been doing.
