It's time to recognize that "Hangman" Adam Page is the best babyface in the biz right now.

This is where I assumed The Dark Order comes in - you can give the audience something with a win over The Bucks at All Out, and wait two weeks for Grand Slam and do the big title win for a TV rating. It's the Hoegan v Goldberg formula. They already did something like this by doing Blood & Guts on Dynamite rather than waiting for the PPV. The difference now is the don't have to worry about direct competition on the other channel



I only followed BTE during the Mr. Brodie/ Dark Order era, so I have pretty much zero context for those parts of Page's story. I got everything I understand about Page from what they've shown on TV.

I like that idea, but I'd probably flip it. I'd have the Dark Order lose to the Bucks via interference, and play out Hangman getting nervous/anxious about how they're going to ruin his opportunity the same way. For the Hangman/Omega match, I'd have The Elite take out the Dark Order before the match. Hangman is watching his back the entire night/match. When the Elite show up to interfere, Kazarian/Moxley/Eddie Kingston (maybe Penta too?) make the save allowing Hangman to win the match.

On another note, it's amazing how AEW has made me care about Frankie Kazarian in 2021

Youve been missing out because its been a really good story on there. Its actually touching because Hangman lost his friend group and Dark Order tragically lost their leader but they found each other in that process.

Idk who's been writing that story, might be TK himself, but they should take a bow. You dont see strong babyfaces built up like this without being ruined anymore

I can see it. The whole 'We're doing this for Mr. Brodie' story would be perfect with a win - and a fitting tribute for him now that crowds are back though. At the same time, we're in the middle of a 'one stable controlling the main titles' angle already, and PNP are overdue a run.....

In all seriousness - he's been decent, and his character motivation makes sense.

fukk that, I can't wait. I hope he wins in Chicago.

Just how over he really is came to light with the live crowds. He's by far been getting the loudest reactions from the fans the last few weeks.

Which doesn't surprise me, him and OC were the most over with crowds before the pandemic hit.

This thread? No.

Your entrance into it? Most definitely.

I don't think Hangman is going to win at All Out, but he got back on his own two and tried, and with people that supported him regardless of the outcome.

You're a loser and a lame. Seriously. This thread is just as lame.

It's really a shame neither company can book a top heel or a top babyface at the same time

You could argue that MJF is their top heel. Man has no redeeming qualities

The Jericho feud basically has stalled out and halted his momentum. I don't think MJF is must see TV.

That feud has run its course, breh. Jericho is the one dragging it down too. On top of that, MJF hardly even wrestles on TV anymore.

Gotta agree with AB on this one - MJF never wrestles on TV because it's a tried and tested way for a heel to get heat - do despicable shyt week in/ week out and never put yourself in a position to get your comeuppance. His last regular match on Dynamite might have been just before the Pinnacle formed. There's not much point in being the final boss of a super heel faction if nikkas can put paws on you on any given Wednesday.

I don't bang with Jericho like that - but he supposedly pulls in numbers whenever he's on TV and he does a good job putting people over. That's why this is still going.
