Intruder posted:I love the poo poo out of Jericho. I don't think he should be winning a promotion's top title in 2019 if they want to be taken seriously. That's my stand. Whatever Page is like the Baron Corbin to Sami Zayn

Djarum posted:You really didn't but whatever. Like I said I am not going to argue with you like I said. Yes, I did. The belt isn't a prop. It should be the main goal of everyone, especially the top guys. It's character motivation. I specifically pointed out why this is bad with a new title and company that is being established.

Djarum posted:The original post was about wanting to build the promotion around Moxley which I said wasn't a good idea long term instead of focusing on the younger talent like Page. All of the sudden it got turned into I don't think any one else deserves a run at the title and other wacky stuff. They should build it around him. And Kenny. And Cody. And Page. And whoever else. Even in the heights of the Attitude Era WWE basically had multiple top guys all vying at any given time for the A #1 spot. From let's say 97-01 as a peak you could make arguments for Austin, Rock, and HHH as lynchpins, then the tier below that you had Foley, Taker, and Kane, but they were still in title programs all the time. This idea of only one ace ever in a given era is extremely rare and using that as the only model possible is idiocy. It's why WWE is in so much trouble. Like yeah you have a top guy, but in modern wrestling you need to shuffle more than that (unless you're Okada in Japan basically).

Just wish AEW hadn't started off by having a former WWE/WCW star as their major champ. People like the choice? Fine e: don't listen to neo, he's a Lions fan, he knows only pain

Yeah we have no idea how they are going to structure the title. Could it fly around a lot like a 90s US TV promotion? Maybe. Could it mainly stay on one guy? Also possible. Could they build to big reigns for a guy like ROH would and then not really go back to him as champ? Probably not but who knows. Since I'm sure the tag titles will be more important than any nationally televised US promotion in history that will change things too. Cody could easily end up doing more tag stuff with his brother early on while Jericho, Mox and Kenny feud over the belt and they try to build some steam for Page.

The TV is starting soon and while its great to have new fresh faces, its reassuring to have a few names on the roster everybody has heard of/knows of, like Jericho. Especially for new or lapsed viewers tuning in.

Plus wresting the belt from an old guy is the perfect way for the TNT audience to appreciate someone you want to make a star.

Page didn’t impress and I’m glad he ate poo poo. The fact that there wasn’t a last minute fakeout for anyone, even a past his prime CM Punk, to challenge Jericho’s reign as the lead up for the next PPV - is what bothered me. But otherwise I was a-okay with it.

i just wanted to make a few points, kind of unrelated to anything else, y'know, just idle musings. Misawa was 30 when he won the Triple Crown for the first time. Kawada was 31. Taue was an old geezer at 35, but that young boy Kobashi, he was just a wee lad of 29. wonder what made me think of that.

Jericho is a good champion to hit mass market tv with but I feel like he should've beaten DDP for it rather than his son someone sent me a picture of DDP at the show in cosplay, he was right there

Man Page's weakness as a non-wrestling performer is super glaring when you put him next to someone who's actually good at this stuff. And then PAC is a better wrestler too! Still gonna take a lot of convincing for me to buy Page deserves a spot in the title picture for the foreseeable future given the other options out of the gate

SamuraiFoochs posted:For the record I just want to reiterate. I'm not saying unequivocally that Mox should be the top guy forever or that he's anything close to the only choice. Hell that's part of why I'm anxious. There's a glut of good options. What I am saying though is that I think he deserves a more legitimate run as a top guy than he got in the E and I hope AEW gives him that and keeps him at the very least in the mix for the top spot for the foreseeable future alongside the aforementioned good choices. This is a very valid stance.

So are they gonna have Jericho's bloated, gin-blossomed face going around on talk shows doing promo interviews for the series? That'll be a great look.

AEW is great. Mox should be champion soon. But I don't have much if any interest in Mox v Jericho because it's a match I already saw a bunch and a feud that does nothing to compel me, even without worrying about it having the smell of Two WWE Guys on it. Do a Triple Threat because otherwise I'll have to wait like 8 months before Mox gets the belt at minimum probably. This is why I wanted Page to win the belt. Mox killing him could happen in very short order and it not hurt either Page or the belt to have such a fast turnover. Jericho needs a lengthy run.

Djarum posted:Someone who is established and hot doesn't need a championship to draw interest. Would a championship helped the last couple of Cody matches? What about the Moxley/Omega match? A championship is just a prop that you use to best help your promotion and elevate feuds/talent and draws. i put it to you you that not understanding wanting your favourite guy to win all the matches & all the belts is you not understanding the fundamentals Djarum posted:And on this I think I am going to stop posting in this subform as well. oh i am literally posting into the void. i could not post.... no.... inconceivable Intruder posted:ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i like cody's matches a lot more than the bucks. bucks are fun for 10 minutes but then it just keeps going & going and i roll my eyes & make that irritating "jacking off" motion with one hand

Although I'm firmly in the Mox should be AEW champ camp, I understand the people who don't want to see Jericho/Mox again because the loving Ambrose Asylum is the worst thing I've seen. Jericho -> Omega -> Moxley is the order I'd go with, but they've got some work to do with Omega if they want to stick with wins and losses mattering.

I think Jericho -> Moxley -> Omega would be an interesting way to get to Omega hitting rock bottom and then working his way back up, and potentially as a heel as well which I think would be pretty interesting.
