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

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I guess this Marvel stan @LordDeathwatch forgot all about when WWE signed AJ styles and Nakamura out of Japan

And saying he just cracking jokes when he's on here every single day saying all the same shyt

I mean, if you’re just cracking jokes just say it’s a joke, but he had to make his first reply say “I’m missing the point.” When I call out the potential “point” he says “it’s just a joke.”

Some of these people just aren't very bright.....

Whether it was an opinion on “stealing talent” or overbooking Japanese talent, who gives a fukk? How dare this multi-million dollar owner put money in the pockets of wrestlers and book them on worldwide tv because they are staying here on an excursion.

Is Sting on some type of non-compete? How can TK stop him?

Sting is on a WWE Legends style contract with AEW

But can make appearances for other places?

Someone brought up a good point, WWE wouldn’t even let Lex Luger be ringside to avoid potentially showing up on TV for Sting’s last match. And they wouldn’t let AEW license any WCW clips for a video package.

So WWE can fukk off with their request for Sting.

Everyone has to have appearances approved for any other wrestling company.

I wanna see it happen so it can show TK isn’t a petty bytch like people in the WWE.

And honestly, it shows how much TK is a fan for letting Lex get his wish come true if let’s Sting do it. You already know the marks are gonna shyt on him if he doesn’t let Sting do it.

Name who you think are the current top guys in AEW



Actually just come back and do it after Dynamite

Moving this over to the more appropriate thread…

The one guy I couldn’t quite figure out where to insert him is Ricochet. He deserves to be one on of the below tiers but I just couldn’t quite nail down which one.

The franchise talents - the guys you put the AEW title on them this very second and they could run with it for months on end

• Kenny Omega
• Swerve
• Hangman
• Ospreay
• MJF

The transition level title holders. They could have some value with a short reign, but nothing more than that unless what they are doing catches fire then you can roll with it. I’m not generally a fan of the concept of a transitional champ unless it’s a popular babyface getting some fan service booking.

• Orange Cassidy
• Darby
• Eddie Kingston
• Samoa Joe - I debated bumping him up but ultimately decided against it.

They got next as THE top guy status - They are part of the young future that could be ready to make the next step to that top level with Omega and the like if given the opportunity.

• Jay White
• Konosuke Takeshyta
• Kyle Fletcher
• Powerhouse Hobbs

Older talent that has the potential to be at that level but I need to see more out of them in AEW (either they just need more work, need to improve their work, or need to be booked better) to move them up

• Bobby Lashley
• Kazuchika Okada - that program vs. Omega for All In could just be what he needs to shift into that next gear

And yes, I left out Moxley. I think he’s done as a top guy after this reign.

Dynasty coming up in two weeks and then over a month and a half until DON so feel like they could do some decent numbers especially if the booking after Dynasty and fallout from that is good.

Feels like these shows are too bunched together prior to 'All In' but we'll see how they manage that...

Man i’ll take 100 Komander matches over that disgusting BS I seen last night

Dynasty in early April
DON in late May
All In in early July

April to May to June to July, 3 months.

That's longer than a Mania build if you think about it. Kinda like Royal Rumble to EC to Mania.

I still think it would benefit them to move Revolution up to late February. Gives them like three more weeks to help balance out the rest of the PPV schedule a bit better but still a lengthy build time from Worlds End to Revolution.
