loving Vince man and 9D chess. I hope Renee, QT, Mox, and QT’s students are all clear or get through it, if they do become positive.

Glad they're addressing and taking actions on possible exposures and that the performers themselves feel safe and empowered to be the ones to disclose it. Kinda doesn't make me feel good about the ongoing silence about Roberts and Allin though.

Should they be named? I know AEW just put QT and Mox's names out there, and I think people just want to know all of the details in general but is it important to know who? Should it be up to the talent to make it public or is it on the company to make it public? Edit: also why did the Twitter embed text suddenly get comically large?

Rarity posted:Oof, that is perfect timing on Mox's part to be available for part 2 of Fyter Fest. Lucky son of a bitch Also great because now he can come back madder than ever that he had to miss two weeks of beating the poo poo out of some poor fools. WWE literally killing the business.

I'd think that if he tests negative he could be back next week -- they're just being super careful and making sure Mox and QT don't even contaminate AEW's testing site.

On the other hand identifying positive tests is important to inform people who have been exposed. So I don't really know what the right thing to do would be if WWE wanted to name them and the wrestlers didn't. But I suspect WWE didn't want to name them.

Yeah, I don't know all the details but it would be legally complicated to announce who tested positive. At the least you can't do it without the wrestlers permission.

Especially if it's multiple positives, like the report says. They're not going to want to name like 14 people who are positive when they could just let people wonder how many people it is. I guess maybe it could be easy to tell based on who is on the shows this week, though.

Its interesting that there aren't separate ranking boards for the TNT and AEW titles. Just make your way to the top of the singles rankings and pick one? Is that the fiction? Also the TNT title is apparently being managed separately thus ricky starks etc. But if you split them, who would be in each ladder? Its all curious.

Just, uh, to be totally sure, Mox's history with MRSA doesn't make him a greater risk of covid severely affecting him, does it?

I can't remember if I made this up or it's actually how it works, but one idea I had in my head is that TNT title shots can be given to anyone in the Top 5 but only the #1 contender can challenge for the World title.

I don’t think they’ve announced that’s how it works. The way I’ve always interpreted the rankings has been that they just are and don’t necessarily indicate anyone is next in line for a title shot. It’s just an easy shorthand for the promotion to tell people who the top of the card is, and they’ll use it to justify their booking as little or as much as they want at any given time. For example, even though they often are, I don’t think it’s always expressly true that the person that’s ranked #1 is also the #1 contender at any given time.

It's been established that champions get a lot of leeway into who they can offer title matches to (see Moxley vs. Brodie Lee, Moxley vs. Jake Hager, and Cody's own challenge series), they aren't allowed to duck a number one contender but they can certainly let someone outside the top five take a shot if they are feeling it. As far as we can tell right now, the main prize is still big plat, but that is only because Cody went straight into an open challenge gimmick which might end up sticking on the TNT belt.

My assumption is just that this means: 1) the rankings are for the world champion, with the TNT champion being a mix of open call and champion's challenge 2) the TNT champion isn't on the world champion rankings because he holds a belt of equal stature already.

Yeah, I don't think there's been any kind of real rhyme or reason to rankings and what they mean for title shots. #1 contenders have fallen out of the top spot without receiving a shot, 1s and 2s have faced off for title shots, and 2s, 3s, and I'm pretty sure unranked people have all received shots. Rankings are just a thing that loosely defines the field. Nothing else seems to hold consistently. And I think its just a general "Men's Single Rankings" so the TNT belt is there because its a Men's Singles belt.

Yeah its interesting. I'm not saying its bad or anything just kinda funny how they made such a to do about the rankings and charts and win records and etc and then they just kinda do storylines like everyone else. Like i know even shoot things like UFC will make champion vs #3 for this reason or that so its not crazy but it's just not something i see other places. I like it. The records on people's entrances are fun too. E: they were smart to do yearly records, it would be funny if they didn't though so like John Cena would come out as 655-49 or whatever he is

I suppose you have to be ranked #1 for some time in order for your title shot to be locked in, but once it is you're guaranteed the match. Most every other time when someone gets a title shot it's either because they pinned the champ or the champ grants them one.

I'd love it if Big Biceps Tony offered Emi Sakura a buttload of cash to run small no-crowd events with AEW women in Japan plus Choco Pro talent. Put the matches on Dark, get Excalibur and Michael Nakazawa to do commentary, it would be awesome.

I never really felt like the rankings and charts were meant to be set in stone. They're more a sort of "here's how everyone's doing right now" what they can build stories off if they want to.
