Lead Pipe Cinch posted:If nothing else, AEW has earned the “this is going somewhere and they’ll pivot if it doesn’t work” benefit of the doubt. Spears on Colt Cabana's podcast was one of the first times I've really liked him. He was so psyched about training people and wrestling well.

SamuraiFoochs posted:I agree Jericho is loving incredible. However: You're not wrong. Keeping Jericho as champ would be (as I said) very much a reaction to him being a draw right now, but he could just be a holding pattern soon, yeah. It'd be the safe thing to do, but as much as we like to talk about "Coward" Tony around here, I don't feel like he's really a "safe thing" kind of booker. And if you're going to build Mox all the way over into mega-super-champ over, this is probably the spot. I mean, unless they do the long build and actually do have some Archer bullshit leading into Mox having to get past Archer and THEN taking the title off Jericho at like, All In 3, but I just don't think you need that kind of lengthy Gedo-style build to this story. This has already had a pretty decent build with all the eye-gouging. Also, looking at the structure of the card...as much as some people have said you can't have both Cody and Mox go over, it feels to me like this would be a really heel-heavy result section if they both don't win. Like, I think Hager goes over, Dark Order go over, Nyla goes over, Bucks (who are more heel than not for this feud) go over, I can't call PAC/OC.... so aside from possibly OC, my prediction has the only face win as Darby and so the two main events do make sense as both face wins.

I feel like either Cody or Moxley is winning, not both, because one of these programs has to continue to DON, and Jericho/Mox seems like the one that can get more mileage out of a second match. Cody teased a Wargames type match at the C2E2 panel and of the programs that could lead into Wargames, Inner Circle vs Moxley et al seems like the best option.

Jericho has established the title as a major-league championship and anchored Dynamite through its infant stages. As far as I'm concerned he's already done his job, and I really don't buy the arguments for him to keep holding the belt, especially with Moxley peaking at the right time. Booking is all about striking the right time, and this feels like the perfect time for a title switch. Anything else is too holding-patterny for my liking.

I think bucks/megahang and pac/oc are both even enough (because both have very very reasonable paths with either result). I'm definitely like 60/40 on mox over Jericho and will be happy either way. It's always felt to me like alpha/omega 3 was going to be part of this title run somehow, either as an actual title match or as a number 1 contenders thing. But also Moxley vs Kenny has maybe been on the back burner just long enough by the time double or nothing rolls around. the top of the card is strong, and aew has demonstrably not been shy about letting lower card guys do matches with the champion to pass a few weeks by. Moxley on top let's you have the lower card heels get in there (kip, sammy, hager, archer maybe, maybe a plunder match with someone).

SamuraiFoochs posted:Also I've never had strong feelings about Goldberg, sometimes I think he's looked awesome as gently caress, even within the last couple of years, but Jesus Christ he looked awful yesterday and putting the title on him is everything about why WWE is in the state it's in. He's done some awesome stuff! He's just also fifty three years old and has been basically retired for ages. There's wrestlers who keep going into their 50s but they all seem to have put a ton of effort into it.

I would be really confident that Mox was winning if the next PPV wasn't DoN 2 in only two months. Them not being able to resist a full-year Jericho reign and some kind of full-circle thing with Hangman or Kenny makes me worried that Mox is going to get hosed.

AEW: Industry acclaimed champion considered by many to be the greatest of all time, accomplished all over the world throughout his 30 year career, successful rock star, youngest World Champion in company history, beat up the other company's champion for real. WWE: Champion only knows two moves and can't do them very well, had one good year over 20 years ago where he wrestled the same match every time, failed football player, oldest champion in company history (not counting the owner of the company), beat up by an alcoholic 4 inches shorter and 50 pounds lighter.

SamuraiFoochs posted:I just saw a theory that Archer will cost Mox the title. I swear to God if Mox loses I will be on a level of anger that's close to the Brock match. It's a PPV called Revolution, they're hammering home first of the decade, Mox has never been hotter, they only have 4 PPVs a year, and there's no one who it makes more sense to beat Jericho except maybe Cody but that's obviously off the table. I 100% believe Moxley beating Jericho is the correct and right decision. I 99% think AEW will do it. IF Moxley lost and it was because once again the big new signing for AEW helped Jericho I'd be worried that AEW has a really serious creative crutch and Jericho has too much power. I am VERY much not hyped for a Hangman/Jericho II. I might be trailing behind others in that regard but I dunno. That would be the first time I wouldn't be on the same page as AEW since... well, Hangman/Jericho I. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Feb 28, 2020 |

I want Jericho to win because I’m more interested in him as a champ than Mox, I think Mox probably wins, I’m ok with either outcome and think they’ll do a good job either way. Also some people will lose it in a hilarious manner if Mox loses so there’s that.

I think they're doing a lot of good work with Page and trying to push him back into the main event soon would risk undoing that and causing a division again. Like some people are REALLY into his story and would be behind it, for sure. But I assume I wouldn't be the only one feeling it wasn't a fully finished rehab yet. This Omega/Bucks stuff is working. Ride it for awhile. And if you wanna give him another solo run then try it out with someone a little lower first and see how Page retains that interest level without the other Elite guys before you push him to the moon. I don't like that "one year later Double or Nothing" idea because its trying to squeeze things in to fit something inorganic.

My suspicion on the tag match is that it’s the dark alternate version of Golden Lovers vs Bucks from that US NJPW show. It’s an aggressive match, Page turns up the aggression, and Kenny can’t do it. This time, instead of Ibushi being the one making that demand and even the Bucks being like “just do it” being enough to make Kenny follow through, the Bucks take advantage, probably with a heel tactic. Bucks go heel and go on top of the tag division, Page and Omega break up because Kenny wasn’t willing to do what needed to be done to retain and will feud until DoN.
