top 2 angles in the E the last year were nikkas fighting over a necklace and a bracelet.
it isn't about what's being done, it's the execution. It's viable to book this storyline and have it work considering the history of Taz and the towel. I just don't have faith in AEW's ability to tell that story in a way that doesn't feel like a canned, corny, forced 'passing of the torch' moment.

If they could, the angle would definitely be doable.

Honestly I'd just keep it to a backstage pre-tape. Explain that the towel is how they focus, block out everyone else, whatever it may be. Give Hook a reason to need to lock in. Then just have him do it for a match with stakes, and have him come out on a mission. It'd take him upping the in-ring intensity. If he has a second gear they want to debut, it'd only take that pre-tape.

Take a weekend. Call Joe, Shibata, Taz, Hook, a cameraman and a Bad Bath & Beyond run. Give Hook a TBS title shot to lock in for (and win) and you could get him over in a week for less than a case of eggs costs :yeshrug:
Bed, Bath & Beyond went bankrupt lol

Nice work on workshopping my idea though :salute:

And we got college football teams fighting over silly ass trophies every year.

I just searched weird college football trophies and got these

good to see the PPVs going to MAX. Tho what I think is they should put a section strictly for AEW like Peacock has with WWE. I don't know bout no coding or app development or anything but shouldn't be too hard to create an AEW section separate from other sports. Put a tab with each show, PPV, Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage.

Hopefully the future ones can be on there as well to make it easier for folks tho I doubt it would be included with the regular subscription package. Maybe having it include the lower tier ones like dynasty and wrestledream and worlds end, with the main 4 costing a fee like usual.

Not really enough content to justify that in my opinion, though it would be good for AEW. I’d rather see them more regularly featuring it on the home page first. Maybe once all the tv shows thru 2024 get up there. Right now the only tv on there is 2019.

AEW should be working on creating compilation videos and stuff like that. Best of Dynamite, Best of Rampage, Best of Collision, Best of Revolution, Best of Kenny Omega, etc.

Add some in depth sit down interviews. Anything original to YouTube that’s not in-ring should be going on there, like those Up Close interviews, Hey! (EW), and that Meal and a Match thing.

It’s all that extra stuff that makes it worthwhile. They have like 500 ring announcers, interviewers, and commentators. Make them earn their keep a bit.

Associate Director of Live Events for WBD and a guy that works closely with AEW on Max seemingly confirms there will be two episodes of Collision on back to back nights March 22-23

Lots of lucha action coming up for AEW/ROH tapings. I assume all these matches with CMLL talent are going to be on ROH given the ROH branding on all the graphics

Neon is the guy I’ve been wanting to see pop up.

If AEW were to do another round of releases of notable talent, who would you include in it?

I’m going with…
  • Rey Fenix
  • Danhausen
  • Jack Perry
  • Keith Lee - but still cover his medical bills if that’s a thing
  • Scorpio Sky
  • Wardlow
  • Wheeler Yuta
  • Britt Baker
  • Kamille
  • Saraya
I agree Perry and Yuta wouldn’t go anywhere in real life but got damn if this isn’t a logical list. Honestly no real reason to retain any of them
