I had to take a break from this IWC shyt because I felt like I was taking crazy pills like Mugatu. The product feels focused towards All In since World's End and little things like pivoting Bill and Keith after Cage got hurt shows it.
The last half of the year TSC was a clusterfukk of childish bullshyt. Really left a bad mark on this sub and it felt like any other mark forum. :huhldup:

It’s quieted down a bit, thankfully. Nowadays I try to ignore the attention seekers, but once in a while I’ll call out the dumbassery. :skip:

Def think Toni vs Mercedes a big time match. For the men side lot of stuff including Swerve. I know Omega and Okada come to mind, maybe Jay White as well. I know he faced Ospreay and then BD his run last year but not sure if he's ever faced the two mentioned. Or even MJF. White and MJF aren't as high as Omega and Okada but a strong build can def be made for them. MJF the longest running champ they've had so not like he's an unproven scrub. Same with Mox. Not sure who he hasn't wrestled since he's been champ so many times but can still headline a ppv with plenty of the big names.

I do think the two women might be the biggest cuz they are both champs and Toni is prolly the best character in the business and Mercedes has her resume that looks real strong. I do think it's tough to pull off at this time tho regarding a double champ thing. I know NXT just did it and it may have been kinda early. I know Giulia injured so maybe that led to it but we shall see how Vaquer does as double champ and how they book things. Wouldn't make sense to have a woman challenge Vaquer and be like I want the NA title when the women's title is right there, so same with AEW, why go for TBS when women's is there on same woman. So that's the only difficulty I see. Hopefully they can continue to build up the division where more big marquee matches are possible.

Not surprised about MAX numbers tho nothing official so we shall see. I know i seen plenty of comments on Twitter from fed fans saying nobody watches on MAX which obviously isn't true. Let's see if they can provide the data for us.

Not sure how Raw has been doing, I know they had leveled out a bit and they about a week behind since Netflix does a whole week of numbers so it takes longer to release. Wouldn't be surprised if the total passes SD eventually cuz that show been struggling.

Every time someone does an online poll, which is obviously not scientifically conducted, viewing on Max gets a ton of votes, normally a very 50%. Obviously the polling is going to lean more towards representing the IWC as opposed to the audience at large.

Yo this company sucks
Thank you for your opinion now take your hoe ass to the WWE threads and continue to be tone deaf as to why no black talent is getting a legit push and the fact that Mr I don't see color is doing his damnest impression of Tony Kahn circa 2022 and 2023 amd trying his hardest to turn the promotion into MAGA UFC.

What’s the biggest singles match that AEW is able to put on rn? Been thinking about it. There was a couple times it was clear:

Omega/Mox
Omega/Bryan
Bryan/Ospreay
Punk/Elite
Omega/Ospreay

Probably some i’m forgetting.

I think if we were fresh on Okada coming in it would be Omega/Okada but idk now.

I’m not sure how much drawing power Sasha still has but a part of me thinks that it really is Toni vs Mercedes :patrice:

What yall think it is?

Right now Toni Vs Mercedes. They're both legit box office and you could build it for a month or as long as you wanted starting at pretty much any point.

But longer term give me Swerve (could sub Omega, maybe Hangman, NOT MJF) as dominant heel champ, Ospreay challenges. All In 2026 Wembley. Build it all summer it could feed a generation.

Ospreay becoming world champion at Wembley is the biggest "moment" they have in the clip IMO.
