Any clue yet on how they're going to determine the AEW champ?

I assume they're going to do some league standings shyt. Maybe whoever is top by the end of the year becomes champ.

Kobashi is no doubt being saved for Spring Break where Joey Janella literally tries to die by Kenta's hands.

I can see this. But idk the way spring break ended this year was weird even for Joey. It's like something Quack wrote.


....I just now thought about how I want to see a Yoshinari Ogawa vs Jungle Boy match

My only problem with the AEW build up is how they're ignoring how big peak TNA was. They keep saying Vince hasn't had a challenge in 18 years but peak TNA got over 2 million viewers going up against Bret Hart returning for the first time in 13 years.

I'm hoping for nothing but success to AEW but just had to point that out.

Dave just needs to stfu and the Bucks should disassociate themselves with that awkward moron and start speaking for themselves like grown men.

Seriously.

Having Dave trying to keep kayfabe, presumably because he's paid in some way to keep quiet, it's just sad to watch.

AEW might not think much of what they throw him to preserve their surprises, but it's going to end up with both of them having less credibility.

Much like comparing wrestling to "pro wrestling," journalism and "wrestling journalism" should also be treated with the same drastically different standards.

If you view Meltzer in the lens of your average investigative journalist that's worth their salt, he's an absolute hack and fraud.

All this shyt reminds me ofnthat Raven quote about the smarks being easier to work than the marks thats pretty much all the elite been doing hustling the smarks biggest draw in boxing moving away from the ppv model and these dudes tossing out a 50$ ppv under the guise of "real" wrasslin'

Meltzer don’t care, he knows he at the end of his business model. Going into the 2020 decade if he wants to make it he needs more than the dirt sheets to eat. He’s hitching his wagon to billionaire Khan just like everybody else is

All Elite Wrestling announced earlier this week that one of its marquee matches for this Saturday’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view, pitting Hangman Page against Pac, has been pulled from the highly anticipated event.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has a large story on the situation this week, claiming that the original plans for Double or Nothing would see Pac defeating Page, setting up a match between him and Kenny Omega down the line to determine the first ever AEW World Champion.

Pac is also the current Dragon Gate Open The Dream Gate Champion, which is the Japanese promotion’s top singles title, and has made it well known to other promotions that he takes his role very seriously, and will not be losing to anyone while he holds said title.

While rumors began circulating earlier this week that Pac was pulled from the match because he refused to “do the job” for Hangman, the reality is that he was booked to go over at Double or Nothing. The real issue, reportedly, is that AEW officials found out that Dragon Gate will likely not be taking their title off Pac in the near future, which messes with their long-term plan of having Kenny Omega beat him to win the AEW World Championship.

There were other options, like doing a draw or letting Pac go over in the match against Hangman, and finding a new opponent to face Omega, but none of them ultimately panned out. There are issues with the draw or DQ route, and Tony Khan reportedly attended the recent Pac/Ospreay match in the UK and witnessed the crowd react negatively to the time-limit draw.

One of the things most frequently talked about when it comes to the long-term creative vision of AEW is that they want wins and losses to “matter”, which means they’ll be presenting a more sports-oriented product. Hangman will obviously be one of the top stars, and it wasn’t worth it to the promotion to mess up their long-term planning, so the decision was made to run an angle in the UK earlier this week.

Essentially Hangman showed up in the UK to answer Pac’s open challenge, and they had the match they were supposed to have at Double or Nothing. Pac low blowed the referee to force the DQ, then beat down Hangman badly after the match and injured his leg. He then claimed his goal was to hurt him, and with that accomplished he had no need of AEW anymore.

So that simultaneously takes care of the reason for the match not taking place at Double or Nothing, sets up a rematch at any time in the future if they can make it happen, and writes Pac off the promotion for the time being. It’s expected that he basically won’t have anything to do with AEW until he drops the Dragon Gate title.

Hmmmmm
