if people get upset at #21 not being their favorite its on them considering #21 has always been a "oh neat" surprise and not a "OH poo poo" surprise as has been established by all the previous CBRs

Yeah, they need to keep Archer away from title scenes until they’re ready to give him one. I think him and Brian Cage are both at risk of becoming guys like Kane or Big Show where they’re only positioned as a beast to overcome without ever really gaining their own dominance to justify it.
A Cage/Archer feud that puts the FTW title on Archer would solve this issue entirely, if they promoted it as a NEVER-esque toughguy belt. But that would mean they'd have to remember the FTW belt exists. Cage has had what, one title defense on Elevation?

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

I’ve been saying that the FTW belt should be the beef belt now that AEW has built up some hosses.

Archer, Hobbs, WARDLOW, even Penta could all get cracks at it. Cobb if he ever gets back through the forbidden door. If we’re lucky, maybe Samoa Joe?

It’s very weird to me how like 6 months ago Tony was doing interviews where he kept building up their plans for the FTW title, and then Cage has defended it like twice since then.

Imagine a scenario where there's unrest within Team Taz (BUT THEY'RE FINE NOW), and Taz says "Gimme my belt back" and Cage says "Come and take it!"

Again, imagine it, because TEAM TAZ IS FINE

I think a way to protect Archer is to something like the Bam Bam vs Taz finish where they go through the platform. Then do a rematch where Archer wins a gimmick match like a street fight, have Archer murder people in the meantime, same for Miro

I'm just remembering that time Cody got hit by THE TAZMISSION THE KATA HA JIME so that the FTW title could get more respect and yet we haven't seen any FTW programs at all

Also has me thinking about all the unresolved Cody storylines:

MJF - For obvious reasons
Jericho - Their match didn't have a definitive end, and they didn't get to blow it off with original Blood & Guts
The Elite - Is he still in it? he brought the Elite together on the first pandemic episode
Shaq - Neither man was involved in the finish, Shaq is a ghost that continues to haunt Cody
FTW - I repeat, THE KATA HA JIME
Penta - End of that match left it open for more. I assume Penta will attempt to eat Cody's child.
The Factory - Victory over QT but is Ogogo secretly the leader of the factory?
Foreigners - Cody's latest feud

That seems like too many open threads for one person to have. Am I forgetting anything?

That's where the real kayfabe and "It's still real to me God damnit" lives these days and it's going to be incredible. Drunk wine mom's on Twitter having opinions about Cody.

I think they were filming stuff backstage for it on this past dynamite. I know this because I think Brandi hashtagged it but I can’t remember the name of the show for the life of me.

Taz gave Cody the KATA HA JIME THE TAZMISSION because Cody called him out for talking a big game while Hook is training under Cody, and then Taz gave him the KATA HA JIME THE TAZMISSION and Hook became part of Team Taz

Cody feuds are as cursed as Brandi angles, that's the only way to explain it. I feel bad for Kong she's never been in anything wrestling related I've ever been able to stare at without doing permanent damage to my retinas and she's still such a cool wrestler.

How did the MJF angle actually go towards the end I pretty much tuned out when cody had to TAKE A LASHING ON LIVE TV.

The best part about the KATA HA JIME is it literally means "one winged choke", put Kenny O in team taz coward tony.

Yeah the MJF feud isnt really...unresolved. Cody got owned, and for all intents and purposes that's the end of that until they want to put him in the world title picture down the line.

MJF cheated and Cody specifically mentioned in a promo that they had unfinished business or something like that

I love Brandi's youtube show but I don't think she's a great fit for wrestling. Her matches are orchestrated chaos. As a personality, she's not that great at giving people enough breathing room to fire back at her. She gobbled up Jade the few times they interacted which was why it was great they transitioned Red Velvet into Brandi's spot.

I'm not saying Brandi sucks or won't get any better, but right now she's Dixie Tier. Which is better than Stephanie Tier, and I wanna see what Brandi Tier looks like.

Brandi's best when she's being funny because she's really funny and charming. She can sometimes be intense and forceful but she's uneven like that and she's never quite pulled off being threatening.

It wasn't going anywhere, and Cody was such a face they kinda quietly disbanded via an online therapy bit and Brandi supporting Cody during the lashing to turn.
