It's not that kind of test.
I think I want Best Friends to win more than Omega/Page but it's a very tough call.

I love Omega and Page but at this point they are probably better utilized as singles guys, the "Page breaking off from the Elite" storyline is largely resolved, Best Friends have been workhorses for the company in recent months, and Trent and Chuck have apparently never held tag belts together. I am ready in this horrible year 2020 to see Chuck Taylor win a major championship on network cable television.

Best Friends should win because the Kenny/Page story is kind of boring when its just "they get along and are good at fighting". But the best friends are really good when their story is "get along and are good at fighting".

i hope best friends win and oc wins, and the winner of the earlier match comes out at the end of the latter match and claps for the winner. then they all embrace in a sweaty hug. just like that hgh guy and his very bad friend.

I hope when Kenny & Page eventually lose the titles they're still good friends and second each other in their singles competitions (until oh nooo they're forced to fight each other for a title shot :ohdear:)

He needs to lose -because- he's the main character. He needs to face adversity, not sit at the top of the mountain. It's the same reason Ash kills all of his pokemon at the end of one season so that he starts from scratch in the new pokemon league.

Yeah you're probably right, Page does need to lose. Just make the weeb take the pin then lose to Hangman then Cody can lose to Hangman and become the heel we are currently required to pretend he isn't, and so forth.

Nah, its just a bad generic promo because its always important to remember that Hager is not just a bigot, he's also a completely mediocre and uncompelling talent.

Thanks! And I feel like you're right about Kenny and Page both being ready to move on, but I don't think they've really signaled (beyond JR correctly pointing out it can't all be great just yet) that the team is ready to break up. I went the other way, but would be happy with either result.

I'd love to see Penta and Fenix go over and for "Butch" and the Blade to finally do something other than job, but unless they're ready to kickstart the Bucks/FTR heat with some squabble heat over blowing their match together, I don't see that happening. :(

Listen, I didn't see it on page 1 of Fight Island (I probably overlooked it) and let's just say that Covid doesn't make it any easier to keep up on every post in my SA threads. I'm thrilled it's there; thanks for putting it together.

edit: I just mean the entire Covid situation, btw. I don't have it and don't mean, even in the slightest way, to imply I do. I'm just a goon who missed several posts during Not Fun Times apparently.

Is that running Twitter joke well known among fans or just this thread? I feel like if it's something even a decent amount of the fans know, it would be good to save it for crowds, but OTOH Dustin is a good boy that deserves to be allowed to say the S Word on TV.

I'm torn on who I want to win. I don't want Hangman and Kenny to stop teaming up until Ibushi gets here (if he ever does) because they work so well together, but I would also like to see them do singles stuff. Kenny or Pac seem like the prime choices to take the world title, Hangman would be a good option to take the TNT title and turn Cody heel because he feels betrayed by the Elite even though Hangman isn't part of the Elite anymore. I don't know if they've built up the Best Friends as a title-level threat, though. Yeah, they've been winning, but they always seem like goofy guys that put out decent to good matches, I don't feel like they've given them enough camera time on Dynamite to establish their characters. They've kind of been playing second fiddle to OC up to this point, and I don't know if a title change should be the first thing to change that.

OTOH if they're going to give the Best Friends the title they'll probably make sure to do an absolutely amazing 30-40 minute long match to try to top their match at Revolution, which could build credibility.

the story of the match is that hangman is whooping their rear end pretty bad but they're doing ok against kenny. late into the match dustin is on the top rope with hangman on the outside laying on two tables. he knows that the way this match has been going they have kenny's number and has to decide to sacrifice himself in order to remove hangman from the match. he jumps and hollers poo poo all the way down

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

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



My ideal scenario is Best Friends win and hold the titles until PAC is back. Then they drop the belts to Lucha Bros. and PAC beats Mox to have Death Triangle all with titles as the top heels for a bit.
