man, what if Dark Order wins the IMPACT titles? that could set up some really fun stuff, but i feel like it's not on the table :(

I'd almost feel bad for IMPACT at that point. Kenny taking the belt made some sense because of the Don Callis connection. DO has zero connection to impact so them taking the belts would really just be a statement that says "Yea, IMPACT is really just a macguffin factory for AEW, get hosed nerds."

Man, Five and Ten are gonna get really lost in the shuffle when Dark Order break up in a few months.

At least Colt can print t-shirts.

Ten could be built as a solid solo midcarder easy, and he's never going to lose the DO connection even if the faction crumbles around him just because he's -1's guy.

I hate to say it but I feel absolutely nothing about five. He doesn't wrestle all that much, in the AEW extended universe he's barely a part of DO and does more chilling with vlogcrew.

I presume that by leaving one boot in the boot he is now half-retired and as such can only show up on every other Dynamite.


And ok, ok. Outside of the Elite stuff I have to ask; what is the point of heeling in general? Why make your fans hate you?
Is the answer 'because that way it feels rewarding when the face beats you up?'
If the answer is yes, then what is the point of heeling once the fans have reached max hype and couldn't possibly be any more excited to see the face beat you up?

I have no idea if this is a real quote but I like the idea of it, supposedly Gorgeous George gave "A lot of people will pay to see someone shut your mouth" out as advice once and that just about sums heeling up as a viable business strategy to me.

I feel like we’re a ways into the second act of Page’s arc, he’s got friends who support him but it’s not quite enough- time for the real heroic trials to begin. Not sure what those should be, though.

well I think the first one should be shawn spears but spears is allowed to use a chair...

Are there any Cody haters left? He’s made nearly all of AEW’s biggest young stars and took tack bumps for an unsigned Eddie Kingston, sold his promo and now Eddie is a top 5 babyface in the world. MJF, Darby, Wardlow, Malakai, Jade, he carries himself like a star and works like a dog, what is there to dislike at this point really?

I’m always going to be wondering how they break that world title stip, but at this point I believe he may just be that committed to this role he’s carrying out with the company, I guess if they need a top heel after Omega they could have him go back on his word but man I just can’t boo Cody. He will be president just like Solidus Snake.

I wouldn't say I hate Cody but I'd be totally cool with never seeing him in the ring again and his America promo sucked rear end. I was excited for his match last night and it delivered, but I was into it 100% because of Black, not Cody.

I am not a huge AEW viewer, so sorry if this is a stupid/rude question.

But is there a wrestler that AEW, in it's short history, can be said to have "wasted"? Someone who should be good, but due to bad booking, or bad luck, or whatever ended up not being as good as the could have been/were in other promotions/ended up being?


There have only been a handful of people who have been released from AEW so no one has really had the chance to be looked at with the benefit of hindsight and seen to be misused. Honestly the only two contracted people I can think of were Mel, who was strapped to a failed faction but also had a pretty poor showing, and Jimmy Havoc who was a piece of poo poo so whatever.

#STRONGHEARTS, but the pandemic and their desire to be Japanese Indie Freelancers means that it was always going to be hard for them to get a sustained push.

Didn't stronghearts show up in like the first or second PPV and then peace out for OWE entirely. I don't know if you can blame AEW for misusing a one-off appearance.

I think Rovert conned the phrase, but she might have been gaslit by fans in addition to all the awful stuff she went through from Darby into bringing it up again. People telling her it didn't matter, or it wasn't that bad, or just general abuse making her re-live all the trauma again and just getting to a breaking point again.

I can't even imagine how frustrating it would be to speak out at the same time as everyone else, see Havoc get canned immediately, see Guevara who made a rape comment get a month suspension then see the person you've accused of actual rape get cleared, with iirc zero consequences, because an "Internal investigation" said it was fine.



e: I guess Havoc was suspended immediately and then canned later but I don't remember him showing up at any point between those two events.

Rampage activates when you get a kill, it increases your weapon damage by 10% per stack of Rampage. It lasts 3.5 seconds and has a maximum of 3 stacks. By equipping a Rampage Spec mod the duration can be increased from 3.5 seconds to 5 seconds.

I'm more of an MKC guy myself.

i know it'll never happen but i'd love to get a look at what a sensitivity training program looks like + who administers it and maybe some of the materials

Well all you gotta do is join a midcard tag team in All Elite Wrestling, do a rap gimmick, then be edgy like its 2008 4chan, and you'll find out.
