Let me ask you guys something as a shoot. When Omega went on his injury break he was being presented as the best in the business, correct? So why the fukk is he coming back as a “trios” guy? Why is “the best wrestler in the world” being relegated to some barely made up play titles and not looking to re establish himself as the top guy in the company?

Hasn't had a match in 9 months due to recovering from shoulder surgery, hernia surgery, and knee issues. Not to mention he's been wrestling while dealing with Vertigo for 3 years. Going to have some ring rust so putting him in a tag setting will help him shake some of that off. Plus it's going towards a Cole/Omega program (maybe for Grand Slam or Revolution) that has been building for years.

Likely going to be putting the wheels in motion of Omega vs. Ospreay for I'm guessing Wrestle Kingdom, something that's also been building for years.

watched an episode of this since around when wrestlemania was about to happen just to see if it was still bad

Punk and Mox are two of the most overrated bums to be beloved in wrestling
Danielson and Garcia was good
I don't watch anything to do with the Young Bucks but Kenny looks washed.. hopefully they haven't rushed him back
still too many geriatrics floating around

Adam Page, Wardlow, Aleistair Black and Jade need to get out of there.

They're gonna be hot shotting a lot over the next few months to pop them ratings with the new TV deal coming up.

It's one thing if it's between PPV's (i.e. title match taking place halfway between All Out & Revolution) but the week before is ridiculous.

This was Omega's first match after being out for 9 months due multiple surgeries and a fukked up shoulder.

I take back my praise of Punk, I forgot him and Kofi ain't really cool no more.

I think the whole Omega being rusty thing is a work, the story seems like he'll be working his way back into top form. I disagree with going it that way, but I doubt the shoulder deal and the compression shirt are actually needed. Usually when wrestlers come back from injury they are jacked/cut beyond belief.

Double Talk says Phillip was shootin' cowboy on the Hangman Page line




It seems like Meltzer has mostly been frozen out by his AEW sources, a lot of his AEW takes these days seem more like educated guesses than when he actually knew everything a few years ago
