I guess I missed the top 5 part when watching. I thought it was just losing his shot. Guess we should get back to defending rape jokes as heel heat.

or instead we can just light the fuse.

I did say that? I guess I was just annoyed by how much Max Caster support there was and decided to be snarky on top of saying I missed that part about the top 5 specifically. Dynamite’s in an hour so we can all go back to being a happy AEW family until day 5 of the thread devolves into arguing. Rampage should fix that and everyone can be happy all the time.

It wasn't clear, the stipulation is that he would loose his title shot, nothing about the rankings was explicit and I don't recall the singles rankings being effected by a non-singles match before, nor do I recall a #1 ranked competitor dropping from the Top 5 wholesale after a loss before. It all fits with the story but the exact mechanism they were going to use was never clearly stated.

They mentioned it on commentary a few times, the exact wording being that he would have to "Step away" from the top 5.

i figured it out

cody's music hits we get the long intro

light hits the elevator

up comes cody on his knees with malakai black standing over him

malakai kicks codys head off drags him to the ring and pins him

then we get a 2nd women's match instead

There is precedent in the women's division; Abadon fell out of the Top 5 after she lost to Shida earlier this year.

Seamlessly transitioning the Men of the Year into a feud with Varsity Blonds, while they presumably park The Acclaimed for a while.

To be fair about 90% of the Rankings Discourse is because people just forget or not pay attention to the parts where the rankings are explained and then get mad about it.

Dunno if anyone posted it previously, but BBT addressed the situation

https://www.cagesideseats.com/aew/2...ldnt-have-aired

Tl;dr, says Max's rap was "terrible", says he wasn't present when Max did it, he didn't edit this week's edition of Dark, says he will be taking over editing duties on Dark/Dark Elevation going forward as well as Dynamite and Rampage, doesn't offer an actual apology or give any indication as to what (if any) punishment Max will face

Pretty long tl;dr there :v:

watch the moments of the week clip linked on the last page, the night of the match commentary literally clarified the stipulation is Hangman "steps aside" from the top 5, so he's at least reset and probably won't re-rank until after Kenny's next title match, presumably he's free to chase the title at that point, Kenny set it up poorly in the promo but commentary at least clarified what's going on up to this point, however, it's a really convoluted angle at this point

if Hangman wasn't able to ever challenge Kenny again during this reign i think they'd have said that clearly. the bargain was "win and you get the next title match, lose and you're not in consideration for the next title match despite being #1", i think he'll be back at #1 quickly after Kenny's next title defense and probably will have a stip match or eliminator match thrown at him to get to Kenny

I can't say I'd mind, especially since Danielson going to AEW's stopped nearly so uncertain as it once was and because there's way more important things on my mind right now. But I figure tapping out of my own toxx is kind of weaksauce, so I didn't really want to go there.

If the good people of the Pagoda's rather I keep paying for my hubris, though, that's also totally fine by me. So long as I'm not being an active detriment, y'know?
