I wonder if this Capcom partnership is an indicator that they’re publishing the AEW game.

they've been partnered with AEW for the t-shirts since the launch of Dynamite so it seems like a pretty fair assumption. from what i've been able to research, the actual team of developers that were once at AKI, now known as Syn Sophia, are no longer with that company aside from lead developer Shuji Yoshida. Directing developer Hideyuki Iwashita has not worked on any games since Def Jam 2 it would appear. Capcom's track record the past few years though has been vastly improved from where they were in the early 2010s and I would trust them with making a functioning wrestling game.

WHO is the goodest girl?
Genuinely excited for Kingston. Last week's show left a weird, unsatisfying taste in my mouth -- lots of good about it but I finished more down than I'd started it, which is unusual for Wednesdays. Hearing he's in, however, makes up for that and then some.

75k living in tampa is a liveable wage, especially with such a vastly reduced schedule to where he won't have to kill himself or hustle merch.

The Kingston signing is definitely a booster shot on my interest/enthusiasm. I might actually watch Dynamite live this week to see where/if he pops up.

But more then that I'm just super pumped for him. drat near emotional.

I'd assume he won't be put into a program right away. He'll probably be on Dark for a couple weeks, which could be great as far as giving that show some more variety. But I wouldn't mind an angle between Cardona and Eddie at all, honestly.

Yeah, I don't actually expect him to immediately be given a big spot. Hell, I kind of half expect him to be lost in the shuffle. But like, its something that has me genuinely interested and excited after a lot of stuff that had cooled me off. I'm sure my expectations will be tempered by Wednesday.

I know he's not actually gonna confront Jericho. Life isn't that good.

- NJPW officials talking to Tanahashi after he had his knee destroyed by Suzuki. Didn't really work, and likely wouldn't work for Eddie either.

Doubt he'll be involved with them so soon, but I definitely hope he comes out at some point to talk them into leaving the Inner Circle. Have an angle where the IC get a tag title shot, but Jericho chooses himself and Sammy instead of Proud&Powerful, and Eddie rips into them why the let a weak-rear end *expletive* like Jericho dictate their lives, leading to them turning on Jericho and joining up with Kingston.

And preferrably also Diamante, but that's another, further angle.

I was looking at ShopAEW just to see what new t-shirts were up and discovered that The Initiative have a t-shirt and it's kinda low-key incredible. They've also got a Matt Cardona shirt, so he's at least good as signed if that was still in doubt. There's also Rowdy Roddy Piper scarf and shot glass for reasons?

I mean, if I'm actually fantasy booking I do a backstage segment on Dynamite where Santana and Ortiz are congratulating Kingston and we establish that they're old friends. Then Jericho and Co interrupt and Jericho makes some kind of overture and Kingston dismisses him and splits. Jericho is mad but Santana and Ortiz cool him off and say he's familia. Then you revisit that friendship a few times and build some tension in the Inner Circle and have some casual stuff about how much Eddie doesn't respect Jericho and Jericho doesn't like it. Then something like you said.

Of course in a perfect world that sets up Jericho vs Kingston. And Kingston wins. But I don't have that much hope. So I'll settle for King managing Diamante and Ivelisse in that tournament or something.
