ironic reason to support #hashtagteampagechamp2019 The roster cannot survive the humiliation of a champion who can beat top guys with a slow spinning back elbow as a finisher

Ishii yelling into a mic for 2 minutes and then a tiny japanese lady with ginormous breasts translates it to "Ishii is happy to be in america, many will die, few will survive, you will be entertained" So yeah, I would like Ishii world champion, please AEW.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Yeah but you don't need the title to do that. I've said this before, but some of it comes down to what TNT wants as well. They've got to sell advertising and promote the show on their end..it has to be a partnership. Realistically, for TNT, the smart move is Jericho...he's got name recognition, is on a bit of a popularity upswing, he was in both WCW and WWE, etc. ..he's an easier sell in a corporate sense. On the other hand, if AEW wants to stick with their "we're different than anything else", then yeah...they probably want Page. Unless they want Jericho to have a "thanks for everything you've done to promote us" run with the title, and then drop it to Mox or Page later on.

The winner of the main event is 100% defending it against the winner of Moxley/Kenny, that's going to be the first world title feud on TV Page thinks he's not getting cheered much now after a dull match with Sabian, he's getting cheered less against Kenny, and standing no chance of getting cheered against Moxley

People aren't cheering Page because they're terrified of him. He is very scary.

where does the "people aren't cheering for Page" thing come from? He got a big pop at DoN and FF, the crowd wasn't into his match a F4F but that was also kind of a throwaway match Like, if we're judging his ability to get over on one lackluster reaction at a stacked card, it seems a bit presumptuous

Mel Mudkiper posted:unironic arguments for page champ for team #hashtagpagechamp The world champion doesn't need to wrestle on literally every show. That's exactly what WWE does, for your "evoking the memory of the competition" argument, and it sucks out all the prestige from the title.

I think the only thing holding Hangman back is selling a knee injury while also doing many knee centric moves Like, what kind of idiot does a buckshot lariat if he has a bad knee

You are the one who favorably compared Brock Lesnar's title run to Okada so glass houses C. I have no idea what point you are trying to make other than you seem desperate to disagree A champ who wrestles every show of a new promotion would be good and I don't see how your reference to Okada disproves that Chris James 2 posted:New Japan tag matches are completely skippable, though credit to the thought people didn't realize that during the G1, the annual tour that makes it more obvious than most Its the fact that the champ is wrestling on the card that matters, not that its an amazing five star classic
