Another thing I loved about the Dark Order segment backstage is how when Hangman came in hollerin', they didn't even waver in their surety that it was time, they're more confident in themselves and in their friendship with Adam as a person, rather than their fanboy recruiting, and they know what's best for their friend and that it's time for him to stand up, and Adam couldn't even challenge them on it

It's a great contrast from when Hangman got angry with the Bucks and they just called him an ROH jobber.

Yes, this is important to remember. Even in 90s WCW he would stumble and get things wrong. It's not a new thing, I guess it's just highlighted because of how good Excal and Tony are? And even they mess up from time to time, they just aren't crotchety about it.

It’s definitely accentuated by how strong a commentary team Ex and Tony are.

I can't think of any male released by the WWE recently that I'd want to see in AEW, they're already packed and Cody said in Sammy's vlog people like Fuego aren't going on the road with them.

But drat I'd kill to see the IIconics and Ruby. Anyone want to let me kill them?

Speaking of releases, in two weeks the following 90 day non-competes will be over:

Peyton Royce
Billie Kay
Kalisto
Mickie James
Chelsea Green
Tucker
Bo Dallas
Mojo Rawley
Wesley Blake

Now Dallas seems content to live on a farm, and James is with the NWA for the time being (though I can see her make an excursion ala Thunder Rosa), who do you all think/would like to see AEW bound?

Royce and Kay have to be the main one for me. I think Kalisto could be a great get too.

the only names i want are Cult Leader Bo Dallas to come feud with all the other cult leaders, and Billie/Peyton

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

I don't think Hangman will lose to Kenny again, his lowest moment was already the combo of FTR messing with him, losing the belts, getting kicked out of the Elite, and then losing to Kenny.

I do think you'll see Kenny put a whole bunch of challenges in his way, stuff to try and exploit any lingering inferiority complex stuff Hangman might have.

Also if you need further proof that Hangman rules, load up his old website (adampagewrestling.com)

The part I've been longing for, the part I'm certain is coming, is the cracks in Kenny's confidence beginning to appear when you realise that he's as scared of facing Hangman as Hangman has been scared of facing him.

It looks like a time limit draw is about to happen, when 5 yells out "Hangman! You can do it, I believe in you!" giving Hangman the last bit of energy needed to finish Kenny off for good and send him back to the nega-verse.

He's a hell of a seller because I thought it was legit. But then when Sammy targeted it I knew he was ok. It was a great story.

The faces he makes while posting are inexcusable! When he writes a post his face is like a troll double checking bones to see if there's any meat left! When I post I look like a peacock softly kissing a rose! Didn't his parents provide him with a posting mirror to practice forums faces growing up?
That knee selling went on for a while with MJF trying to lift Sammy twice before collapsing under the pain. When he started yelling at Bryce I thought he was setting up for the fakeout but nah, seems like they really wanted to focus on the injury without Sammy targeting it.

Wonder if it was mainly a spot for Sammy to catch a breather before something dangerous like a senton

NEVER!!!


I've been in the Pro-JR camp since AEW started but these past few weeks he's been especially bad. Constantly forgetting what he was going to say and then tops off the daily place montage by calling it "WWE Dynamite".

Now I'm of the opinion he needs to be fazed out to just the sit down interviews and possibly calling big matches (if he rehearses the wrestlers names and moves).

Edit: and he seems to be in a bad mood too.

That is surprising. In the past few months it's been squared so that Billy can be billed with his surname on AEW programming, so I guess this was part of the horsetrading. Are they still selling Jake the Snake dolls? I know he was very proud of how large the royalty cheques were for a long time.

Agree with these. I wouldn't mind seeing Chelsea Green get a look, too, like some tryout matches on Elevation to see how she does. But that's mostly on the back of that good match she had with Penta back in Lucha Underground. I think she's got more capability in the ring then she's been able to show in the past and working with some actual trainers could really do something for her

Honestly at this point I wouldn't be surprised if AEW just doesn't sign any of the women that have been released cause they just don't seem to give a poo poo at this point. Bo Dallas has a better chance of showing up on Dynamite than the Iiconics at this stage in the game.
