I mean, to me it's so obvious that FTR wins them that i feel like there has to be a swerve, which is what i was hoping for tonight, now i'm not sure, but the uncertainty is outweighed by the fact that they may just ship the belts to FTR which kinda stinks

watch less wwe.

i haven't watched WWE in 20 years really, i just don't think it's a very compelling story and i'd rather some guys i like better on the roster hold titles

i kinda like it as a gimmick, but only if they actually go decently far into the heel sphere, because nobody likes nerds

i'm so torn on where the best storyline is

the bucks and kenny are dorks but they're still good dudes, and since the Bucks ratcheted down their heel energy and Kenny is ratcheting his up, they don't look very unified as a unit

FTR is obviously Hangman's new girlfriend, but based on how they're playing it, gestures/actions/words, it seems like they're setting him up big time, especially with double A in the hunt, Tully, Spears, all these pieces moving around

and now MJF cuts a legendary heel promo to tell the world he wants Big Plat

ahhhhhhh

gun to my head, pushing my chips in at vegas, i'd be on "FTR takes the belts from Cowboy Bebop after suckering Adam Page, Cowboy Bebop splits, we get heel Cody as Flair+FTR+Spears as the Four Horsemen", but i still want MJF in the flair role soooo bad, and it'd put so much heat on the whole thing if Arn turns on Cody to back the future

Oh, I know that FTR's gimmick, I just thought I'd point it out...for literally no reason, because everyone else already get's it. But still.

Them being hall-monitor-douches is kinda enjoyable, but I do think they need to go a little more heelish eventual.

just wait until they take our favorite boys shiny belts and beat their asses after and laugh at Hangman on top for being such a rube (and perhaps they tear his shirt pocket off too)

i'm kind of uneasy about how hard they seem to be leaning into campaign season angles, just because it seems kinda cringe-y, and wrestlers have to basically be as apolitical as possible, but i'll see where it goes, they've earned that much

considering Cameron was a nobody with a horrendously bad meme in her history, she must have showed AEW *something* in her tryouts to get a shot, it's not like she's a draw or anything, and she's got a great look, so I'm willing to at least give her a match or two and see where she's at

hopefully some of the people they're bringing in for this tourney show up on Dark or something

i didn't like Sabian much at first, but he grew on me, and i really liked where he was positioned with Jimmy, they were starting to hit on some good chemistry as a team and now he's just kinda in limbo

but he's young and pretty talented and has really good characterization and if nothing else he can always fall back on that snobby british accent to get cheap heat from latent imperial socialization

Kingston wanting a shot at the FTW title because of its history from the era of 'hardcore' and Taz trying to duck him over and over because he doesn't want Cage ripped apart in a hardcore match before Mox 2 would be a super fun angle

i feel like anyone who could get a deal with AEW would lunge on it right now if they don't have something overseas away from Hell Nation

MJF is on a trajectory to be AEW's #1 or #2 signature talent so i doubt he wants to get wrapped up with anybody else

which makes me sad if he's not part of the Horsemen reboot that's coalescing

I've cooled on Inner Circle a lot and they haven't really been doing anything interesting as a group, Stadium Stampede seems like the high water mark so they should probably just start getting into their own programs.

and Hager should just get into a dumpster and live there

well i think this tournament is to begin addressing what everyone wants, more camera work/time for the women, and working a match start to finish in front of a camera/crowd to get the experience that'll make the division shine more

they didn't really have a Chris Jericho or a Best Bout Machine or a bunch of top tier workers with 10+ years experience in that division from the jump to help mold it or take off as fast as the men's div has, so now it's time to do some real catch up work, especially if they're gonna expand the main content to a second show.
