Yeah they need to start distributing it more broadly. The main event talent is there to justify it

Longtime talents (as in multiple years) who could be champs, even as a short transitional champ…
  1. Darby
  2. Cassidy
  3. Kingston
  4. Ospreay
  5. Jay White
  6. Takeshyta
  7. Adam Cole if he ever gets back to his pre-ankle injury self
  8. Okada
  9. Fletcher
  10. Hobbs
  11. Christian - this list not in any order other than Christian being at the bottom. If you have him like a one-month reign as a heel champ I wouldn’t be completely opposed to it.
Add in newcomers (less than one year)…
  1. Lashley
  2. Shelton
  3. Ricochet
  4. Speedball
  5. Josh Alexander - need a decent sample size of Speedball and Josh’s AEW tenure to see how they work out for the non-work-rate stuff.
And then all the below one-time champs who are more than good enough and over enough to be champ again
  1. MJF
  2. Omega
  3. Hangman
  4. Swerve
  5. Joe
Danielson would be on that list if he was still a full-timer. Have no interest in a part-timer being world champ.
I mostly agree with this other than Darby :hhh:

He would be a cool world champ but the fact he chose to go to Everest during the same timeframe he was posed to become AEW world champ and got booking in limbo because of it would make me not ever put my world title on him or at least not for at least 5 years :hhh:

I hope he make it back from Everest ok btw, no hate for the man but he clearly taking advantage of TK kindness because he wouldn’t dare try Vince or HHH like that :hhh:

And Cole already going for the TNT title so he out of the main event picture but I could see him returning in a few years if he get over in other single title scenes :ehh:

By far. This was a dope show.
TK has gotten significantly better the last few months at following up with people who lose feuds/stories. He seems to be focused on a much smaller portion of the roster, which is for the better long term.

More talent getting pushed aside because of it, but they need to step the fukk up and prove to TK that that they deserve to take someone else’s opportunities.

Can’t do it? Then go sit in catering and find a new job when your contract isn’t renewed.

Don’t like it? Tough shyt bytch.

willow is over wouldnt mind seeing her give mercedes her first L :ehh:


Willow need to lean up.

If she looked more the part. You could put the belt on her easy.

Since she has not.
She will be stuck in the midcRd.

If willow seized the day and leaned up to take jade's spot.

It would be over over.

As the face card does not realize she has it. So till she does.

You stuck with her in limbo.

They definitely need a women's tag division, either that or start releasing some of them. He pays so many people to sit at home :mindblown:
Stat/Willow
Penelope/Megan

I’d personally want Anna/Skye as a team :noah:

But Julia and Skye already got an alliance going :ehh:

Anna with Toni or Mariah would be dope for obvious reasons :steviej:

Or fukk it I’d put Anna with Aminata :mjgrin:

Mercedes and Harley would be dope on some odd couple shyt :bryan:

Not sure Britt status but if she not done I’d say reunite her with Hayter and have Hayter go back to her 2020-23 look :ahh:

Britt and Rosa would work too :ehh:

Not sure who I’m leaving out :dwillhuh:

Mariah and Mina would be a dope team obviously but I was thinking women signed to AEW :ehh:

Then that Anna/Storm team would be :ahh:

We got:

Stat/Willow
Penelope/Megan
Skye/Julia
Mercedes/Harley
Mina/Mariah
Hayter/Britt
Anna/Storm
Rosa/Aminata (I guess :ehh:)
Shida/Riho

They can each be in the tag and single divisions depending on what storyline calls for :ehh:

This would be a dope ass tag division :steviej:

Just got home. The matches were a little underwhelming but the show was fun. The crowd was into most everything and Tony said they would definitely be coming back.

Miz is the original viacom real world racist misappropriation culture thief.

The original put the racist with the ambiguous black girl c00n apologist.
Y'all don't know history about nuffin.

Yup I remember my sisters wanted to whoop miz during that season of real world.. dude really did rebrand himself..

As. For dynamite I thought it was one of their better shows a lot of followup and building of characters and story's. I think Hechicero/Orange match was out of place as a main event but they probably didn't have a lot of options due to injury's and availability.

I'm glad speedball has finally arrived I wish TK would of either paid for brass monkey or at least got him better theme. But it was a good showcase. Hopefully they can continue this momentum for collision.

dont know much about speedball but I think he prolly fits in that lucha/lightweight division. make that the tnt title division. guys like him, DG, Jungle Boy, Hologram, Kommander, etc. build up that division with those guys.

interesting to see whats gonna happen with the women with Megan Bayne attacking Toni and then Willow and Stat. I can see her as a monster heel going on a warpath.

lot of interesting segments that can set some stuff up for the future. i know Jay White isn't seen as anything big but he's stayed relevant and consistently featured on programming. but they got so much main event talent that just having him help is good.

other than Megan vs Toni likely, not sure what else could be set for Dynasty this early. I don't expect it to be as great as Revolution with that being a main 4 ppv, but should still be a solid event. oh and the Kenny Omega match too.

agree about TK focusing on a smaller group & giving each something to do. plenty of people were on tonight and there were many more we didn't see so that shows how much access he has to talent that he can create good feuds with.

Collision live on Saturday and already has 2 potentially good matches in the tourney so hopefully that does well.

Dynasty at the beginning of April so not much time to build a card so hopefully we get something started on Collision for another match.

Definitely a lighter show, but I understand with everyone being banged up :picard:

Speedball was pretty entertaining, kinda reminded me of Low Ki. At least with the kicking based offense, and I guess he's fighting Omega based on the rest of the bracket.

Megan Bayne might be up next for Toni :ohhh:

I guess I can see the hype around Billie Starkz when she faces Mercedes next week.

:martin: Haven't heard from them since they lost the tag-titles. How can you step up, if you're not on TV?

Or disappear from TV for weeks on end, genuinely asking :lupe:
