I like Darby, but they shouldn't wait around for him to move the title off Mox. Hangman has put in insane character work to elevate himself again. Omega is back too. Why not run back Hangman/Omega again but this time with Hangman as the paranoid heel & Omega as the babyface chasing the title? If Darby gets hot again when he comes back, then pencil him into it but they shouldn't have to wait around for him.

Tony and Levesque has the same problem of rarely canceling their ‘plans’. Pencils have erasers for a reason

The world champ’s hometown and they’re in an auditorium. I thought the point of Mox and Jericho was to prevent these situations. They aren’t the stars they were 6 years ago. If Mox is threatening to go put the vest back on, maybe let him.

and it's gonna take having Kenny announced for a match to actually sell out a 1500 seat venue

The Darby situation is exactly why it was beyond moronic to give Mox his title shot and this huge push. It was evident in September that the angle was going to fail :dead:

You give Darby the belt at WrestleDream and then you can put any heel you want over Darby by destroying him and letting him do Everest. I still can't believe old ass fans were willing to give this Deathrider angle a shot when there was no evidence whatsoever that it could've worked, the evidence was in the complete opposite :heh:

why are they allowing him to do Everest in the first place? Is a single shot of an AEW flag on Everest something that's remotely worth losing an upper card talent for months and also potentially risking his health?

Have the AEW flag planted onto a mountain of shyt would be very ironic.

This foolishness can't continue. They lucky the playoffs are on but even without it, not like they'll get much viewers like this. They should just give Hobbs the title.

I don't know how a Hobbs title run looks & I'm sure it'll come with lots of criticism. But announcing a big multi-man tag match before a heavyweight title match occurs is not the right decision. Nothing against Outrunners or Rated FTR but Hobbs does not belong in the mix with them and was just thrown in cuz he won the gauntlet.

Are they just keeping Collision and Dynamite seperate and this match was made cuz of what happened on Collision? They need a brand split badly. Trios division is nonexistant. Tag as well. FTR and Outrunners should be in that division helping out. LT is a failure even more than the DR. Everyone here has plenty of talent except maybe Jericho. I don't know what the hell they doing. It'll be streamed and fast forwarded thru out for me anyways. :francis:

doing Mox/Yuta/Cesaro/Pac vs Hobbs/Cope/FTR makes way more sense logic/character wise and also removes the worst parts of the match. Why would Moxley's group and what they've said about their motivations (as nonsensical as it gets) be okay with tagging with Jericho? Even if the announcers say "Well they were forced against their will to be in the match together" Mox's whole schtick is that because he's world champion he does whatever he wants and doesn't abide by AEW rules etc

I admit I thought it was gonna be good in the first week lol. I thought we’d have a turn in the story, people defecting from AEW, every top star being interlinked. Etc etc

I always got the "on paper" side of the angle but for the life of me I just couldn't understand why anyone would believe AEW could pull off that kind of program when the past 3 years it's been pretty clear that's never been their strength.

Hobbs got injured in the Mox match and Hobbs even said Mox helped him get into AEW. Adding him makes sense. I don’t get this criticism because it gives Hobbs shine on the title picture with the “unfinished business” angle and proving he can beat the guy who got him in.

The only thing that doesn’t make sense is this happenings on Collision AFTER the title match.
