The "let's not take this shyt so seriously" AEW news & fukkery thread

[TheAlbionist]

I just wanna know who blessed the masses with the revamped Toni Storm

TK was asked in an interview over the summer - the character and angle was his idea (Sunset Boulevard and All About Eve are two of his favourite movies) - he picked Toni for the main role and pitched Eve to Mariah then RJ City did the writing/creative, despite not having done any before it because he was the only person backstage who had a clue what TK was talking about

With the BCC rebrand looking mighty American History X i guess taking inspiration from cinema is gonna be RJ's thing

MVP debuted 3 weeks ago. Shelton Benjamin the week after. Lashley coming soon, and for the love of God hopefully Hobbs joins them.

Lashley & Hobbs should be a tag team.

 

[Reality Check]

Lashley & Hobbs should be a tag team.

AEW really missed the boat on a Miro/Hobbs hoss tag team last year

Homework time

Speaking of homework, I stumbled upon Matt Farmer (wrestling historian) twitter and found these gems



And Londos was a vanilla midget which makes it even more he is basically the GOAT ticket mover in wrestling history. Dude's stats selling arenas and stadiums around the world is some other level shyt

I thought we settled on American History Mox

 

[Heelish]

One thing I don't like about AEW is the odd face/heel dynamics.

Also it’s corny that they have separate entrances

I think the eventual plan for AEW champ in the near future has to be Ospreay.


Darby will for sure be AEW champ in the future but IDK if he's ready yet. Ospreay damn sure is but then again so are Jay White, Okada, Miro, Hangman, Christian, Lashley, MJF, Samoa Joe, etc.




I'd take each and everyone of those all day every day over Mox. Mox's value in 2024 aint nowhere near the same as it was in 2019-2021.

I missed most of the show last night. Who was John Silver chasing, and when did he get a 99 speed rating?

 

[Metal Face]

What AEW episode I need to start watching for this hurt syndicate shyt?
I aint watched aew in a minute but this seems like it could be good

 

[Rollie Forbes]

MVP has been great, as usual, but Shelton BenjaGOAT deserved better than to be introduced in a throwaway backstage skit.
Also, as much as I like the DMV's very own Lio Rush, he had no business going toe to toe and getting a 2 count on Shelton Benjamin last night.
If the Hurt Syndicate is going to be a dominant faction, then they don't need to have long matches with little guys (no shade to Lio, he's dope) in their debut matches. Shelton's match should've been a squash. Going long with a petite lower card guy made Shelton look like he wasn't a killer.
When Lashley debuts, his debut should be in the ring; and his first match should be lightning quick, especially if his opponent is a tiny lower card guy.

I don’t think Osprey is getting the title till 2026 there probably going to give it to Darby near the start of next year then maybe Hangman to wrap up the story with Swerve than there’s still Christian

But then again that way too much planning for Tony to actually follow through on
