A Hobbs title reign would make plenty of sense if they did it. He's already over and he just needs to continue to beat people down. He has good in-ring charisma that the crowds get behind.

But like I said, I don't actually see them doing it on Wednesday
I don’t think Wednesday would be the time to crown him, but they can build it more. Have Hobbs beat down Mox to the point it looks like he’ll win, then he loses due to interference. They build Hobbs up as a threat in the L and push the storyline more.

what they should've done was have HOB as the dominant faction instead of DR, even before this all started. They could've had those guys attacking everyone and looking like they could legitimately kick some ass.

Def like the idea of building up Hobbs some more. They do gotta figure out something for AGS. I think they could've left the title match for AGS and still have the gauntlet and just build Hobbs into the storyline. They just can't be skipping from title match to 6 man tag. They did mess up the process of catapulting Hobbs into the title picture. They forced it too quick especially after his return. He came back and teamed with Ricochet then had the little group with Rico, Ospreay, and Davis, think like 1 or 2 matches in that story. Then challenged Takeshyta and lost, and then won the gauntlet. Really didn't make much sense.

If he wanted to do the revenge on DCF thing I would've had him start with Archer, then Cage, then Fletcher, and finally Takeshyta if he still had the title. The gauntlet match was just random and to have a title match on Wednesday cuz I guess MAX needed something of importance. Motherfukkers can help with marketing or something instead of trying to create matches. Should be a good one tho. Hopefully they can figure this mess out.

I like Hobbs but cmon they can't realistically put the title on him. That would be random as fucck. He hasn't proven himself as that type of draw yet.



I'm all for putting that MF on Swerve, Ospreay, Omega, Lashley, Okada, Jay White, Christian, MJF, etc. randomly though.

The world title scene should be Hangman, Swerve, Lashley, Omega and Ospreay all gunning for the belt and if Moxley doesn’t like that he can fukk off and go do Bloodsport full time or go lose to more Chipotle employees in amateur BJJ tournaments

when mox got the title lashley wasnt even wrestling in AEW and omega was injured .. hangman was feuding with swerve non title then swerve got some time off .. i agree about ospreay im surprised the end game here wasnt ospreay/moxley but they keep focusing on darby who is going away so that doesnt even make sense :manny:

Hobbs literally just lost to Takeshyta for his title too. People in this thread are bugging thinking Moxley is dropping the title on a random Dynamite to Hobbs :mjlol:

I'm not speaking retroactively in relation to the start of the storyline, I'm just saying at this moment they have enough main event guys ready to go that can make the world title scene the best part of the show instead of the worst, so they could have Moxley drop the title ASAP if they wanted. I don't think the fanbase in general is clamoring to see this Death Riders shyt all the way through to the end, and if changing direction pisses off Moxley then so be it. Placating him shouldn't take precedent over creating stories and world title matches the fans actually do want to see

From what I've seen on Reddit and Twitter, the Death Riders angle has gotten nothing but hate. Same with the Learning Tree stuff. Go read the replies to the tweet announcing their teaming on Collision next week :mjlol:

I understand TK has a level of loyalty to Moxley and Jericho for taking the risk and signing with AEW before Day 1, but he needs to realize that it's time to move on from both of them. No one wants to see either as champions let alone regularly on TV. Moxley is still serviceable. He just needs to go away for awhile. But Jericho is beyond washed and needs to retire immediately.

it seems like an idea Moxley thought up in his head but once he fully articulated it the writers and TK were like :dahell:


the rumors have been that Mox was growing pretty disillusioned with wrestling/AEW before this and basically forced TK to do this story he was pitching or else he was gonna bounce. Maybe they realized how bad of a look it was they were copying a white supremacist movie and once they pivoted away from that they lost the overall sense of what the Death Riders were supposed to represent :manny: Like you said I think it's too early to just strap the rocket on Hobbs out of nowhere considering other than the gauntlet win he's basically done nothing important on Dynamite lately and lost at the most recent PPV.

They should just call in Samoa Joe and have him choke Moxley out in 2 minutes and tell Mox he can either put over Hobbs at the next PPV of he can join Fenix and Starks in the freezer :skip:
