Hypothetical situation.

We dunno how well Ogogo can work. Let's say his training goes well enough, either now or in the future, for him to be able to generally work the AEW house style in an all-around good, solid manner.

Should he do that or, regardless of his talent level in-ring, should he just continue working matches where if he hits you once, you're loving dead.

You do it until the punch is no longer over, then you phase the punch out by guys targeting it in matches and managing to dodge or block the punch or doing an injury angle where when he comes back you say his punch is only so much as effective as it was originally, but he’s balanced out that loss of sheer stopping power with (whatever else he’s gotten good at) and get that over.

if the Punch stays over I think you run with it as a kill shot till at least the end of this year/start of next year. Some quick matches even in a high profile spot wouldn't hurt AEW and in fact will help give the big matches an unpredictable air. If you want to give him some seasoning as a wrestler you can do it in Tags where he can have a gimmick of not using the punch to save it for the big singles matches too

This is an entirely possible situation if Ogogo teams with Brandon Cutler at some point

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



I can easily see them doing a spot where the match immediately ends up out of the ring, and Ogogo goes for punch, the other guy ducks, and he hits the ring post.

Or better yet, some one lifts Q.T.'s "Throne", and Ogogo hits the stairs

I'm actually wondering if they'll use the Ogogo match to write out Cody for a bit. I imagine Brandi is due soon and he'd want to spend some time with her.

If Mox wins the Tag Titles with Eddie, he'll be the first person to win two separate titles in AEW, right?

Given that Brandi is doing vlogs I am guessing that Cody, Brandi and Mox are taking like 3 hours off work for their respective children. Who knows maybe Fuego and Sammy will be in the hospital for the delivery.

But I hope that Cody bites down on some bloodpacks and oozes blood all over the ring to take some time off for the birth.

If there were some way for Cody to carry a child, he would probably give birth in the middle of the ring

Cody won't take time off. Instead for the duration of the taping after Brandi gives birth, he'll dress as Rafiki and stand high above the entrance stage, presenting his baby who's going to solve racism to an adoring crowd while "Circle of Life" plays on a loop. I'm sure TK can afford the licensing fee.

Brandi forces him to leave all his blades at home. But then, when he's allowed in the room, he spots a surgical blade in the corner of his eye...

In the movie Roadhouse Wade Garrett (Sam Elliot) does a big hook to a guys knee region.

Ogogo should consider adding that punch to his arsenal, as it looks gnarly has hell.

The Penta Says gimmick was executed perfectly the first time by doing it three times in a row, with increased glee and sarcasm with each iteration. Since then they've only done them as smarmy one-offs that don't work nearly as well.

Also the Lucha Bros don't open every Dynamite and I feel that is an oversite.

It's great when they're actually cutting a promo. The first time he interrupted a match to say "I just remembered something Penta told me in the back" was great too, but then they did the exact same thing in a couple more matches, and it didn't work. They need to figure out better ways to do it, or just stick to promos outside of matches.

Semi-related, I thought the stinger at the beginning of Death Triangle's theme was some sound bite they recorded in a studio, but I went back and rewatched their formation and Penta & Fenix actually sounded like that when they first said it on the mic. There are still some warping effects for the entrance theme, but they just happened to do a perfect take in front of the live crowd.
