Fine, I'll take the other side:

If Miro wins the title this wednesday I will gift a tier 1 sub to his channel to the first person who quotes this post and says "baba booey" :toxx:

Cool. If Miro wins the title on Wednesday, pm me with your Twitch username and I will gift it to you as soon as I am able.

gently caress i just rewatched that cody/oc finish and it's still so good, OC is being built so perfectly as this amazing comeback artist who just comes up short in the big match, when he wins gold i'm going to explode

Tony Khan wants to build a big moment and OC winning the title at the first fully attended PPV is going to be some poo poo. They are going to have a lot of momentum when they start up the touring again.

The best thing about the Handsome Boy Modelling School is that JD Drake isn't being used as a joke. If this was the WWE, he'd be parading around in shirts that leave half of his stomach hanging around and people would be dunking on him for not being in peak physical condition. It'd all be one long fat joke, probably with a hefty side order of homophobia because at least some of the other members would be cartoonish caricatures of what Vince thinks gay people are like. Because, you know, pretty boys.

But in AEW it's wholesome. It's four guys having fun together and clearly having a good time.

Yeah. It's not cruel. The joke is "look at these handsome goofs", not "look at this (fat/skinny/whatever) guy who thinks he's handsome. What an idiot!"

My exact theory on Miro vs Darby is this: Time limit draw. Miro is clearly going to get him but Darby being unkillable saves him. Either that or an interference DQ when Sky/Eggo interfere.

Either way, fatal 4 way for the title with those 4 at the ppv, Eggo eats the pin to either Darby or Miro there.

I do keep waiting for the other shoe to drop with the JD Drake story because I am trained by WWE to assume that if these people are being overly nice to someone that they're going to eventually pie him in the face or like dump chocolate on him or something.

Miro will win by forfeit when Darby is unable to compete and the rules lawyering on these toxes will be the Discourse until the heat death of the universe.

Cody will add himself to the match last minute and win the title before hugging his best friend QT Marshall as the New Nightmares prepare to challenge the Bucks for the titles.

At least for mine I'm going to go with the bookie-esque "If they announce "your winner and new TNT Champion, Miro" or substantially similar by the end of the show" which i think covers a lot of bases

i want miro to win for two reasons: a. I love miro currently and I think he can be the psycho heel that lance archer was never really allowed to be for whatever reason, and b. I'm a big darby fan as well but I want to see if AEW can successfully keep a top guy as a draw without having a belt or immediately going after the heavyweight belt

either way it will be a good match and i hope everyone has fun

If Miro doesnt win and there is no interference or someone coming in after the match, doesn't that kill his momentum. Like what does Miro do next if he loses?

The only way I think Miro can lose and have it not immediately make him look dumb is "DQ for kicking too much rear end" (which sucks) or Kip causing a DQ/count out by fighting Miro, and I doubt they bring Kip back so soon.

If Miro gets pinned by a guy whose story has been that he's been killing himself for a month then got thrown down the stairs, he looks like a boob. Even if they do a big beatdown after a flash pin or something, it feels bad for Miro. Plus, then you have to start building for someone else to beat Darby which seems like a lot of floundering for Darby and the belt.

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I hope Ethan Page beats Darby and rechristens the belt as the TSN title.

AEW are touring: https://twitter.com/AEW/status/1391754911545692161

Most intriguing part:

quote:

The show at Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis on June 23 has been rescheduled for Friday, November 5, 2021. The live event will be an AEW TNT television taping

So not necessarily Dynamite. Second show?

“AEW TV Taping” in St. Louis on Friday, November 5th is interesting.

Edit: For whatever it’s worth, during Cody’s last Q&A I asked him if we’d hear more details about the console game or third hour first and the answer was “Probably the latter.”

I suppose they did test a 1hr Saturday Night Dynamite last year. I wonder if the plan is to bulk tape the 1hr show on alternate weeks.
