Cobb against a BCC team makes me hope even harder for Cobb vs. Claudio at FD.

This is a fun card for the "imagine showing this to someone during year one of AEW" hypothetical. Got Danielson, Okada, Edge, Sasha Banks, Ospreay, The Revival, Aleister Black, Roddy Strong, Shane Strickland and Toni Storm, plus it'd trick you into thinking Cobb got signed and Brian Cage/CD/Sydal are pushed acts

Roëmænce is ælive!
Basically right now we're getting to the point where Tony has the roster he wants, instead of having to make do with who was available. Like, there was a time and place where Ricky had upwards mobility available, but now when you have

* Danielson
* Okada
* Ospreay
* Claudio
* White
* Joe
* Takeshita
* Copeland
* Cole
* Christian

on the roster, there's no place to slide Ricky up to a level where he or his fans (it's me, I'm his fans) would be satisfied with. This is before counting the people who arrived before Ricky (counting Eddie here who arrived around the same time as him) who are also ahead of him on the roster, Kenny, Moxley, Jericho, MJF, OC, Eddie, Darby... the list goes on.

And this is not even counting Tony being generally reticent to push people past the level he personally sees as their ceiling. There are exceptions, Swerve being the big one, but Tony's booking has been on the more conservative side with regard to pushes. If you're seen as a midcarder, Tony is going to struggle to let a (future) main eventer take a loss to you, even at the best of times. Team Taz going up against Darby and never getting a decisive win on him at any point, and the Continental Classic's Gold League are both prime examples of this.

None of this even really is a complaint. The main event is stacked, as it should be. I just wouldn't be surprised if a lot of contracts just quietly expire without offers of renewal over the next couple years.

To truly succeed in AEW you need to snitch on people like Swerve and Mariah did.

my buddy had to bail on Dynamite tonight so I'm going to take my 5 1/2 year old with his big green headphones, hopefully he has a blast. My wife and mother will also be in attendance so this will be a real AEW family moment. I wonder if they still have those Kulture City sensory areas if it becomes too much for him.

Yeah he really stalled after Punk was Punk and was either suspended or fired. I love Ricky, I'm from New Orleans and like seeing a southerner that isn't at a Trump rally. That said, the level of talent AEW has now is so far above Starks in experience and frankly talent too. Some of the faves from a year and a half ago are just overshadowed by multiple people with legit claims of best wrestler in the world these days.

I've always liked that AEW didn't run everyone into the ground and lets people work elsewhere if they want to. Some downtime to heal up in seasons seems forward thinking to me in regards to the competition. I don't have the time or desire really to also watch ROH, but it seems like lots of AEW people rotate there during times where the focus is on others. Make him ROH champ and see if he sinks or swims.

I also get his frustrations and could totally see him going to hang out with Cody finishing stories.

I think Ricky abruptly turning back heel to feud with Punk after he'd had a long babyface run against the JAS was the wrong choice and dissipated a lot of his momentum -- and will always wonder if it's because Punk refused to be a heel.

I've been a fan of Ricky ever since that video where he and Sammy Guevara wrestle a mop and a broom, and I wish he was on the shows more, but it's hard to argue he hasn't had his chances.

good point and if I have to decide between Ricky and like, Takeshita, 10 out of 10 times i'm taking Takeshita. Actually im taking Takeshita over like 90% of the roster tbh. Guy is really a once in a lifetime wrestler, if he was in NJPW he'd probably be in the conversation alongside Tsuji and Umino as the next ace. Which makes me a little sad because he'd be a world champion there but probably never would be in America, with the ceiling being Continental/International.

Surely could make a deck builder, they wouldn't have to animate 90 different powerbomb moves then. Slay the Spire AEW conversion where your relics are things like Sting's bat and Sue's car and you can only get to the true final boss by collecting 3 belts . I'm out of ideas. Hangman is one of the playable characters and his two main build paths are Depression and Cowboy poo poo.
