Hook needs to wrestle more than 15 matches a year against better competition. Give him the Skye Blue treatment.
If he has to job a bunch he jobs a bunch. You can spend 3 years jobbing him out and 3 years rebuilding him and at the end he'll be almost the exact same age Will Ospreay is now (their birthdays are only 3 days apart)

Early on it was one of the main things that made me think he was going to be really legit, the way he slithered off the apron after the power bomb was perfect. He just needs to find a bit more personality or voice or something to inject into his character and promos and he'll have it all together.

I'm thinking the same thing. I'd prefer them stay ROH since it feels like that has more prestige than the AEW just on tenure.

They're going to unify the AEW, ROH, and NEVER belts into the triple triple crown 18-man championship, which can be defended as a part of or independently of each set of trios titles.

Agreed, he also looked tiny next to Orange Cassidy.



Also Joe v Hook was done perfectly and Joe beat the gently caress out of that twink.

The Undisputed Empire really needs to try something else. They're trying to sell these guys as scary badasses and they're just not.

Like with Roddy it's not even the content of his promos. It's his voice. It's like it's constantly wavering and he can't establish any kind of tone.
I don't honestly know if we were supposed to take Roddy's promo on OC seriously.

I think Roddy is probably best off trying to figure out a way to come off unhinged rather than intimidating. His wrestling style is pretty impressive, but the entire rest of the time, he's not capable of putting forward "this guy can crush anyone" vibes so maybe he should work on "this lunatic could flip out and drop you on your neck at the drop of a dime" energy

Sorta like when Anna was choking people at random

He ran and decided to fight a month and a half at the PPV later when OC just said he'd fight him now after making him gently caress off trying to take his glasses.

We weren't, he's a dweeb rear end in a top hat pretending to be a big shot with this dweeb friends who is put down by one of the main dudes in this company. If he wins there will be a ton of interference and lying afterwards like a Christian Cage with less confidence. It's fine

Yeah, like a heel version of OC that no one takes seriously until the match starts and he's beating the poo poo out of them in the ring

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Great show, the only weak point for me was Roddy's promo. It wasn't godawful but it was repetitive and didn't have the menace it needed to set up the match at Revolution.

Joe vs Hook was pretty much perfect. Joe looks like a sociopath and a killer, Hook looks tough as hell. And the post-match stuff with Hangman and Swerve was great.

If Revolution gets us Hangman vs Swerve vs Joe I'm gonna be over the moon.
