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.

I doubt Darby is going to lose the belt on his first defense until he really is injured and needs to go back on the shelf for awhile.
Plus from an outside perspective 'giant muscle rear end in a top hat destroys tiny man repeatedly because tiny man blew off his manager a few times' is a story begging for comeuppance.

Goliath winning against David is extremely WWE booking.

Has Cage ever defended the FTW belt? I wonder what the plans are in the long term for that beyond just being a symbol of grievance (which to be fair, was the purpose of it in ECW too).

I stand by my opinion that it should be the unofficial hoss division belt

He's defended it twice. Tony said he had a unique idea for the belt a while back so my hope is that it's the focus of the second show.

FTW stands for Face The Wardlow, and you must defeat Wardlow to win it, also have Wardlowr beat Cage to get the belt, and then Wardleuw never loses it :hai:

But he hasn’t destroyed him repeatedly, because of Sting

Out of nowhere in the match, Darby does the best Stinger Splash you've ever seen. Everybody is freaking out but then he wipes away his half face-mask and everybody realizes Darby Allin is actually Tama Tonga now, and everybody just runs with it.

This put me on the rabbit hole where I think JTG is technically the sequential Lucha Underground champion. We need him to do a Dark so it's back in our pool. And while finding that out we got out first ever double-impeached pres

He smears the paint to the uncovered side and it's perfect GoD big match make up.

I was hoping when Taz and Cody were beefing more a few weeks ago that eventually Taz would piss Cody off so much that Cody would decide that the only way to get Taz back would be to take something precious from him and thus he would challenge Brian Cage for the FTR belt.

So far it seems like the only thing impacted in AEW was Thunder Rosa vs. Britt, which was pushed back.

WWE Champ Drew McIntyre tested postive and RAW seemed to be working short handed and had a bunch of wrestlers wrestle twice. But I don't think there's been any more details out.

And apparently Jericho tested positive in September and just showed up anyway because he's an rear end in a top hat denier or something? But that seems unrelated.

I think Jericho got lucky and had it between tapings.

Miro confirmed on twitch just now that the stipulation does not go both ways - Chuck wins nothing if he beats Miro.

He also said he wouldn't have minded putting up a million dollars, or his personal belongings or his underwear. And then went on a tangent about taking off his underwear, right there in the ring, because he'll be so surprised if Chuck beats him.
