I don't see him being contracted by AEW again, but i can picture him working with AEW talents via CMLL or NJPW.

Yuta has done the "I have until 5" thing a few times now. I love it. It's now even better with Bryan on commentary to react to this stuff.

Guys like JD are just upset that WWE doesn't give them what they want and that AEW actively chooses to cater to the fans of pro wrestling that left WWE years ago. Many of us choose to be happy for the wrestlers, both in and out of the ring. AEW has said from Day 1 they were going to do it different.

I loved the smile on Bryan's face after he shoots on Don. Even Don smirked a bit. I think their relationship at the desk is going to hilarious, like Taz/Excalibur.

Interesting stats. Is there a point you are trying to get across? Or is this just for general interest?

It sure seems they only use Nyla when they do shows in Washington DC, which is a shame because I feel she can contribute in some way, on ROH at the very least.

He could just do a one off instead of signing and that might be fun, or something similar to RVD showing up

I can't see AEW losing too many buys as AEW fans left WWE because of how they are now. You may get some casuals, but is that truly making a dent?

To some degree, couldn't Kane be considered an alternate version of the Undertaker? Not a mirror image, but there were certainly many similarities and that worked for a very long time.

Seeing guys like Cope and Cage really having fun and being able to really tap into their creative wrestling brains is a great thing and I am all for it. You can tell that they are getting younger talents over while teaching them at the same time and that they want to go out on their terms

Apologies, I misread your earlier post. I just calculated December to March. Oops.

So you want the Forever champ to drop the title in only 3 months? That might make Athena not look as strong and that her ROH run was just based on luck and not skill. If Athena has the title, I would prefer a longer title reign for her.

They have to be doing something with him eventually. The Bucks even included him in BTE when they wouldn't answer his phone call.

I didn't mind them too much. I think there can be a place for an uber-religious fanatic cult, but these guys were missing the mark for me and I don't really know why. I will say that Vincent's snapping was less than over and annoyed me

Oh, sorry. When I said winner takes all, I was referring to only the AEW belts. And you're correct, I forgot about Becky/Ronda/Charlotte.
kidflash808.bsky.social (@kidflash808.bsky.social) reply parent
Agreed. It could be interesting if there was a way to have a winner takes all type of match and they simultaneously lose their titles. I am not sure I have seen that before
kidflash808.bsky.social (@kidflash808.bsky.social) reply parent
Fair enough. I just think she hasn't dropped the title because she is the most popular woman on the roster with in-ring skills and is great on the mic. I feel that Mercedes losing the TBS title would give a bigger rub because of her win streak and belts held.

Not sure i agree with this. I think Toni going over Athena makes sense, but only if they aren't done. I can envision a 3 way match between Toni, Athena, and Mercedes where Toni can lose the title without losing the belt. And those 3 together would be absolutely incredible.

I love how these people that criticize the hell out of AEW clearly dont watch the shows. That gummy bear spot had story behind it and wasn't just thrown in for shots and giggles
kidflash808.bsky.social (@kidflash808.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly. Plus, the way he was face to face with Wardlow at FD. He may be getting disenchanted with Callis continually "collecting" talents in an effort to regain "his" world title, chasing the ghost of Kenny Omega
kidflash808.bsky.social (@kidflash808.bsky.social) reply parent
Takeshita is going to be the next big babyface. The fans already love him. It seems that no matter how much they try to make him a heel, he still gets cheered on as a babyface. The place would erupt when he turns.
kidflash808.bsky.social (@kidflash808.bsky.social) reply parent
And we would love to see it. He was insanely popular with AEW fans even before he signed full time with them. I can only imagine how HUGE the pop would be if he turned babyface.
kidflash808.bsky.social (@kidflash808.bsky.social) reply parent
We are already seeing Takeshita slowly realizing what is going on. AWith Ospraey and Swerve out on injury, we need a new huge babyface and that should be Takeshita. Also, I really want to see the winner of the G1 go against the "greatest tournament wrestler" of all time. My guess is the C2
kidflash808.bsky.social (@kidflash808.bsky.social) reply parent
I really hope you can get a seat there because there is nothing like seeing it live. I have been to 3 Dynamites and this year's Revolution and it is just a big party filled with people who love pro wrestling. Cheering, laughing, booing, singing; the energy level rarely drops. You will love it.
kidflash808.bsky.social (@kidflash808.bsky.social) reply parent
It probably meant a lot to the talents as well. Getting to perform in historic wrestling venue that they may have seen when they were younger has to be an amazing feeling for them. Last night, Darby showed how he would have belonged in ECW if he was old enough at the time.
kidflash808.bsky.social (@kidflash808.bsky.social) reply parent
I like the idea of Callis trying to recapture the world title, essentially chasing the ghost of Kenny. He will likely keep "collecting" new members until he finally finds someone to win the title, while neglecting those who haven't done it yet, making huge babyfaces in the process.
kidflash808.bsky.social (@kidflash808.bsky.social) reply parent
Not sure, maybe they were experimenting with something new. They have always said they were going to present wrestling differently and this falls into that category.
kidflash808.bsky.social (@kidflash808.bsky.social)
@AEWDynamite shows pure love for pro wrestling. I can imagine how much the shows at the 2300 Arena mean to TK, but also to the talents. Honoring Taz was beautiful and being able to watch his son perform in his old stomping grounds meant a lot. TK always gives back to the wrestlers who entertained us
kidflash808.bsky.social (@kidflash808.bsky.social) reply parent
Taz has been an incredible addition to AEW. His banter with Excalibur (especially during AEW Dark) has provided a lot of laughs. I really like the Techniques by Taz segments as well. Like you said, he could have handled his injuries poorly, but chose to evolve in the business and he's killing it.

I get that. I haven't made the commitment to watch NJPW quite yet, but I do keep up with them through reading results and such. Time is just a huge commitment that I don't have much of, otherwise I would be watching NJPW, CMLL, NOAH, etc.

I agree 100%. People have been saying for years that AEW is unable to produce stories, especially long term ones. Yet, here we are doing call backs to things that happened in the first couple of years.

Ian brings something to the desk that not many people can. He can call the show and really convey excitement through our TV screens. If for nothing else, they should at least have him do the Willow Nightingale every time she comes out, it's too much fun.
