A boombox is not a toy!

The only reason I'm hesitant to have Hangman lose and work his way back up, is that they JUST had him lose to Cage and only through other challengers in the rankings losing did Page manage to slip back into top 5. Just feels like a trick you can only do so many times, and maybe not with the same person each time.

This is the main reason I think we're getting to the third act of the play. If Page lost and slid down the rankings again, that's the type of booking that might cause people to be pissed.

I mean, they could do it - it's just be more difficult to pull off. It felt like a one time stall to align the story with the logistics of post-COVID shows.

Kenny and The Bucks should encourage Hangman to challenge for the TNT title and convince him that if he wins gold he’s back in the fold.

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I think we're at the cusp of Hangman challenging for the belt. It'll happen in All Out or Full Gear. Kenny will have a few title defenses before that, but once Hangman defeats his inner demon and accepts that he wants to fight Kenny and wants the belt that's eluded him all these years, he'll take it.

Hopefully in the same PPV, Lucha Bros beat the Bucks, so during the five minute long interruption fest (in which Frankie will shoot murder Brandon), the beltless bucks will attempt to BTE Trigger Hangman, and the Lucha Bros, in battle damage gear, will stereo canadian destroyer them onto tables while Eddie, Five, and Sting beat up Don Callis.

i have a great story idea. hang man wins the belt but doesn't believe he deserves it and justs sits around crying all day and loses all his defenses by countout for 3 years straight until he reads enough motivational facebook and reddit posts that he finally gets in the ring for a title defense and gets destroyed in 8 seconds by pac who loses by disqualification for kicking too much rear end. hangman remembers a post that told him you have to fail to become good enough to succeed and so he's won a moral victory

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.



I agree if they want to extend the Kenny run a bit having Hangman go for the TNT title with his #1 contendership is an easy out.

Whether he wins the TNT is another story. I’m leaning towards him needing to lose via self-sabotage in order to rebuild towards Kenny at Full Gear. It also will be a big boost to Miro who is just getting started with his run.

I don’t think AEW has missed the mark on payoffs for their storylines. Britt won at the right time. MJF betrayal of both Cody and Jericho weren’t needlessly drawn out. Starks and Cage might have happened sooner if Ricky wasn’t injured so I’m sure that when TK finally pulls the trigger on Page beating Kenny, it’ll be the right time.

Now I'm wondering how badly you could gently caress up Hangman if that were the goal. Maybe a 10 month feud with Sami Callihan that involves Instagram slapfights.

It's the only way. Also Don Callis should get chased and possibly bitten by a horse.

They should do the thing from John Wick 3 where Hangman slaps the horse and Don is behind it and it kicks him, but also his head comes off his shoulders and flies into the third row where some kid catches it and acts like it's a home run ball.

I just saw on Twitter Maki Itoh talking about how she has the number one shirt on Pro Wrestling Tees (why yes, I ordered) and AEW hasn't offered her any kind of deal. I think that's insane, she's super popular and got a great reaction. She's really entertaining and I hope AEW sorts this out.

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?
People are saying Hangmans match would be at Full Gear in November, right? That's plenty of time to ratchet this feud right where it needs to be. Personally I'm just looking for the moment where Kenny does something to MAKE Hangman want to fight. The moment Page gets on a live mic and angrily yells that he's gonna kick Kennys rear end, I'm sold

There's not really any point in signing her. Putting aside visa issues, as long as she's in TJPW she can just come over on a short excursion every now and then.

No Hangman should win at All Out in Chicago but only if I'm able to get a ticket on Friday (and figure out how I'm going to get to the goddamn arena.)

She lives in Japan and we're still in a global pandemic, OP. I'm sure if she wants to move here and gets all her poo poo in order to do that, they would have something for her. She also already works for a company with a talent exchange agreement.

I think having a 60 minute draw where Hangman kicks out of OWA is a decent way to call it. I don't think he needs to take a fall to realize he has it. A draw and overcoming the finisher sets up Hangman realizing he can actually do this even though he technically failed and Kenny realizing that his time is numbered.

That being said, as another poster said, Hangman should win at All Out because I live in Chicago and will be at those shows so I deserve this and gently caress yall.

Yeah Sammy's on fire at the moment (but then he was always going to be after his eventual face turn). He's the total package of look, charisma and ability

Like people have said there's still a pandemic and also she's probably on course to be TJPW's top champ soon? We're definitely going to see more her once travel restrictions lift up
