I was just listening to a podcast where it mentioned Jericho going to his website to complain about fans who disparaged a match that he and RVD had, and then swearing that he was done with the internet.

King of the Ring 2002. It wasn't even a bad match, people liked it. Bit botchy in parts so the consensus was like 3 / 3.5 stars, but Jericho went off because he thought it was a MOTY contender.

I meant “avoids challenging Kenny” in the sense of actively passing on a match when he’s in line for a title shot, which would be required if he rises to No. 1 and doesn’t lose before the PPV.

Obviously there’s a solid amount of track left to lay before you get to “Hangman confidently steps into the ring against Kenny,” but there’s plenty of room to do the anxious self-doubt stuff without rising to the level of opting out of an opportunity at the top belt in the company

The number one ranked contender can challenge for either belt but doesn't need to sign a contract to fight for either. Also hangman right now is at a character point where he absolutely would opt out of that, and currently should. Just because things have been done one way traditionally doesn't mean that they need to be done that way, or even should be done that way, for every story. That's how you end up with every angle in WWE being essentially the same stuff with a slightly different coat of paint.

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

I could see Hangman go after Miro and say "Oh I'm doing it because Miro doesn't respect Dark Order and beat Uno". Maybe even have someone call him out on avoiding Kenny.

But then the question is, do you have Hangman beat Miro, only to lose it at some point before fighting Kenny? Or do you eventually build to a title vs title match? Or have Hangman lose to Miro, then have to move up the rankings again to go after Kenny?

hangman becomes the new belt collector and starts wearing increasingly large and ludicrous cowboy pants held up by all 6 titles

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I wonder how ambitious it would be to have an AEW event where Kenny has to defend every single one of his belts in one night. I'm sure physically, he could and make every match awesome but I dunno about the optics of like, two straight hours of Kenny Omega matches.

I'd be absolutely in for this, have a little intermission match where Nak wrestles a comedy match with the Young Bucks or something.

BTE had Hangman see a vision of the world championship in a drug trip last week, so I consider that the start of his drive to the title. First time since his loss in the tournament that it has been directly addressed.

That Spinebuster could be Hobbs' finisher and it would be perfectly fine.

It was also involved in one of my favourite wrestling moments of 2021. During the Casino Battle Royale Hobbs gives a HUGE spinebuster to one of the Private Party guys (I think it was one of them) who just makes this loud as hell shriek as he's hoisted.

It was so good.

My favorite small detail is that people are *slowly* discovering the cracks in Kenny Omega's armor and starting to chip away at them, but he's still that drat good. The One Winged Angel has been countered and slipped out of, but it still guarantees a victory if he hits it.

It's still going to be a huge deal when someone finally beats him, he's not just a one trick heel that relies on interference to steal wins away. It's also going to be insane if/when someone kicks out of the One Winged Angel.

I do think we're about to have rubber meat the road on Hangman. Kenny mentioning that he's pretty injured and considering retirement really makes me think he's not got long in the tank in general. I would love more years of Kenny wrestling, especially since he has put on some loving wild poo poo in AEW, but I also want that dude well and happy for the years of entertainment he's given us. I agree with the poster who said something along the lines that someone from the Dark Order is going to enter the Elite's crosshairs and it'll light a fire under Hangman's rear end. There's a lot of build right now that Kenny and the Bucks are making more enemies then they can handle, so that build needs to spark real soon.

make Hangman fight John Silver in a best of 7(or arm falls off) for the right to fight Kenny. Because you have to destroy something you love if you want to be god.

I still think Full Gear is more likely than All Out for Hangman's title win, mostly cause I think it would be silly to have Kenny drop the belt before giving Darby a PPV main event

AEW is big on their callbacks and Hangman winning the belt at the event he failed at two years prior is a very them thing to do

This is already what's happening though and I don't think they're going to lose the crowd on this because it's not just them refusing to pull the trigger. There are very clear human reasons behind Hangman ducking Kenny which we all understand and empathise with. Hangman's not going to go after Kenny without some big emotional catalyst (probably the Elite destroying Dark Order making him too pissed off to care) cause if he just suddenly decided he was ok to fight Kenny then it wouldn't feel earned. His journey to the top is just as much about beating his own demons as it is beating Kenny.

This is the only storyline I can think of like this and it's so fascinating. It's like I'm not really in doubt if Hangman can beat Kenny. I know he can. The question is can he defeat himself.
