How the gently caress the Dijak get called up before Keith Lee.
so Keith Lee is amazingly charismatic, Brock put him over in the rumble (apparently without knowing who he even was) and looked great at survivor series vs tall white dude with racism gimmick in nxt

I mean not to describe Dijak as another Lars (Lars is shorter than Aiden English, actually) but c'mon, let's be honest about WWE

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Primates only are able to acknowledge between 100 and 250 creatures as the same species as them, Vince McMahon and the WWE collective writers room are only able to see 15 people as wrestlers deserving of a push, and 10 if there is no brand split.

Keith Lee is great but I know there is a 0% chance I would enjoy him on the main roster, and there's also a non-negligible chance Vince will confuse him with Big E and put him in the New Day.

But remember they have long term plans for everyone which is why Chelsea had a manager for like 8 weeks that has now broken off from her (I assume because Vince pays attention to the main roster and a woman having a guy manager is considered emasculating)

Also how long before they get bored, let her do a watered down version of the crazy bride gimmick that got her over to start with and blame her for it not getting over while Vince is screaming in Cole's ear to bury it on camera, a la Matt Hardy?

Sheamus and Jeff Hardy have a contract signing tomorrow that would be an easy win for worst angle of the year if this wasn't 2020

quote:

The plan is reportedly for Sheamus to demand Hardy take “a urine test as he refuses to compete against a ‘junkie.'” Hardy will pee in a cup, but then throw the pee in Sheamus’s face.

I don't like it when new people get Title shots right away, I'm kinda getting sick of it, I mean look at Lance/Brodie/Cage - they just show up and get title shots, while the people who have been wrestling for a year just get to watch. Just a minor complaint but I'd rather see those guys get built up than challenge instead of showing up and losing which makes them look kinda like a joke.

I mean I'm fine with if it's a big signing or whatever, but it seems to be happening a lot in AEW :shrug:

Lance and Cage at least earned their shots, Lance by winning tournament matches and Cage by winning a match that had been established as being for a title shot. Brodie just had a few squashes and then announced that he wanted a shot, which comes off as a bit cheap when there are other people in the rankings that would theoretically come first.

Well, the point with the TNT/TV title is it gets defended every week, and Cody's doing an open challenge, so why not use it to book some outside talent?

Apparently it's the Champ's prerogative to give out title shots if he likes and Mox did accept, at least so him vs Brodie had some logic behind it.

Uh excuse me but Mr. Lee STOLE Mox's belt, which, according to by-law section 8 code 4.20 of the Wrestler's Court, all but guarantees him a title shot.

In Brodie's case you can probably also say that he 'only' got the title shot because he was a big name that could work the Corona tapings and wasn't involved in another major storyline like, say, Kenny, Hangman or Jericho. I doubt he would've gone straight for the title if he had his debut under normal circumstances.
