One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
The second AEW show should be something that will get really high ratings like a talent competition or the journey of the non-Americans getting work visas.

You either die at sea after Darby Allin and an entire case of the bubbly coffin drop directly onto the pistons propelling the cruise ship which causes the boat to sink or you live long enough to get ran over by a despondent Kenny Omega and his golf cart several years after the untimely boat-death of his partner Adam Page.

being told the new AEW show will be called Swinger's Party in which everyone writes their name put it into a bowl. Fans can vote who wrestles. Each time a wrestler comes out to work, they have to pull a name from the bowl. That is who they have to wrestle as. So you could have Marko Stunt(as played by Lance Archer) vs Lance Archer(as played by Orange Cassidy)

Is the cruise still going to be in January? If so he should probably push it back a few months

As long as Kenny is surprised by the villain's identity each time.

I'm fully on board if they do this plus six months into the show the villain is actually Colt Cabana to tie into the BTE storyline.

Also, I'm pissed - I'm getting internet upgraded today and they are coming right at the start of Dynamite :argh:

That's more like it. Still not sure about the giant block letters for "TNT". They could have dressed that up a little

A belt existing as a brand plate is bad. A belt existing as a brand plate for the TV network you are on feels worse. I am still not a fan. Of course I wasn't a fan of calling it TNT belt in the first place.

I only like belts that are backed by a shadowy sanctioning body and byzantine rules no one really understands.

there was absolutely going to be no compromise with the giant block TNT lettering with the suits, but changing the color of the letters to either gold plating or red would've shown a minor regard towards subtlety

Even coloring them like the AEW logo would have been better.

The gold does help which is something I wouldn't have believed when I first saw the belt. I don't think giving the letters an AEW color scheme would help but it's hard for me to point out exactly what could be changed to make it better. I think maybe the fact that the TNT logo doesn't have any spacing between the letters makes it look kinda cheap honestly. It kinda looks like a collapsed section of Stonehenge when you break it down into constituent shapes.

other than looking like Millican's McDonald's championship belt, I have no real strong feels about its appearance since its the matches that'll determine the belt's legacy.
