boar guy posted:i'm always a day behind on this stuff because i'm on the west coast so i dont watch live but i just wanted to say i really enjoyed the stagecraft? visual storytelling? of darby having the headlocks/chokeholds sunk and working on miro but then he has to break them because of the injury he suffered falling down the stairs. my kid calls that sort of thing "character development" and the E never, ever had it This sounds stupid but I feel like I remember hearing a while back about a WWE mandate for the wrestlers to not sell injuries during matches or something along those lines? If you can't act like a body part is hurt and that body part is integral to doing a move/hold, then you're going to be somewhat limited in the stories you can tell during a match.

boar guy posted:wish i could have heard what miro said to him in the clinch after the pin. i hoped he thanked him profusely because darby worked his rear end off to make him look like a beast I always wonder about that kind of stuff too. Same with Moxley at the end of the Nagata match.

Darby's Last Stand was a great bit of pro wrestling because all the various bits ppl thought were AEW was just thoughtlessly deploying suddenly clicked into place. One small bit I liked (spoiling since they haven't outright said it on TV) Sting's cut some type of deal with Jake Roberts that kept Lance Archer out of the TNT title picture while Darby had it but the details of the deal are still unclear

So I've been thinking. And theoretically, say AEW did get the wrestler formerly known as Daniel Bryan. Obviously he'd be a huge boon for the company in every way. But do you abandon your plan to put Page over Omega to have Bryan go over Omega instead? I guess I'm wondering if you bring in Bryan, then have Page still beat Omega, you dont risk the fans turning on Page. I mean probably not because Page is like, actually good and not lame as gently caress. Also the TNT Title is a thing. Bryan could probably make magic with that forever and never have to touch the world title. This is all a thought exercise I'm not saying I think Bryan is coming out at the casino battle royal as the Joker to valiantly and handsomely eliminate the other final contestant *checks notes* Luther?!

But do you abandon your plan to put Page over Omega to have Bryan go over Omega instead? 1000% no to all of this. Bryan has said he wanted to work all sorts of places and he is the last person in the world who needs to win a belt or have a run at a champion to prove anything. ANYONE else going over Omega and abandoning the longform story with a guy they've built up since day 1 would be the worst possible thing. If you bring in Bryan it'd be to have some kind of gatekeeper exhibition or two versus a guy like Page, if anything. I'd let him have a barnburner with one of the Death Triangle guys or MJF, something like that. But even if he did get a match with Omega I'd prefer it happen after he's dropped the belt.

I like Daniel Bryan a lot but if Hangmin beat him for the title or a title shot it would only make Hangmin more over with me.

You don't toss that aside unless you've decided you're never doing anything with Hangman.

You wouldn't put Daniel Bryan right into the title. You'd have him feud with a few guys first. Literally anyone would be amazing. Why didn't Sting help Darby as Miro beat the poo poo out of him before the bell? You had one job!

Had Sting gotten into the ring, it was well within the ref's purview to throw the whole thing out and try again next week.

Sting has true dad energy and knew this is nobody's fight but Darby's, he got involved with a monster and has to face it alone. If Miro had like, other people interfere in a gang maybe it'd be different. Also Darby has done the "attack someone from behind/before match starts" thing so much that it's fair game now lol.

Bryan doesn't need to be put over anyone. There's two reasons to put a title on someone: to elevate the guy or to elevate the title. Jericho made the AEW title seem like a huge deal. Mox maintained this with some incredible hard hitting defenses, while making himself look even bigger for having it. Kenny has turned holding the title into the most compelling heel act in the business today. The title is every bit as elevated as it needs to be. The next logical step is that you take this supercharged title and you put it around the waist of your next marquee main eventer, and it makes them. To my mind that should be Hangman. Bryan - and don't get me wrong, I love Bryan - doesn't add to this. Especially not if he's fresh in the door. If he heads to AEW, he's heading there to have the dream matches he hasn't been able to have (or hasn't had for a long time). I don't think he needs an ounce of gold on him.

IF Bryan came in, there's so many people he could work with that it could be at least a year or more before he'd even get close to the World Title.

If you bring Danielson in it's for a short feud to Kenny which he loses before going to the G1 or whatever.

Bryan-Omega is probably the biggest match aew could theoretically make, but it also doesn't need to be for the title, they can do it after Page wins at All Out (?)

Lamuella posted:There's two reasons to put a title on someone: to elevate the guy or to elevate the title. I disagree. Those two things are in service of the reasons you put a belt on someone but they aren't the reasons themselves. You put a title on someone to tell stories and draw money. Hopefully, both at the same time. Hangman is obviously the better story. I guess I'm just wondering if Bryan wouldn't be a bigger draw with the title than without it.

I've watched some recent Danielson matches and he's not the same anymore. That's not the dude that Jimmy Jacobs had to stab in the eye to beat. That's not even the Team Hell No guy. He should just retire imo.

He should just retire imo. He's not but in his defense he very blatantly and openly does not care about what he's doing right now. He has outright stated he feels nothing. Hopefully a change of scenery would fix that.
