Honestly, AEW kind of has a hoss problem? Don't get me wrong, I love hosses, hoss offs, and hossing of all varieties, but the spot's already crowded enough with Miro, Cage, and Lance Archer all salivating for a slice of the pie. Adding Ogogo onto that and you have four "big man destroys all in his way" wrestlers, and that's not really a spot you can share spotlight on so easily.

i know, but also when AEW first started we were STARVING FOR BEEF, big biceps tony gave us what we want

you can never have enough hoss. Its only WWE's obsession with no skill hosses that blinds you. The true shining hoss path exists and we can all travel it.

A) How dare you guys, you didn't include Luchasaurus.

B) Good points! I guess I was conflating monster heel and hoss there, though with Cage and Archer on the path to facehood they aren't really monster heels, either. Ogogo felt the most physically imposing of the Factory, which is why I kinda slotted him into the role, but I can see how I kinda missed the mark.

That said, looking at all the hosses you're all reminding me of, I legit think we have enough for an all beef tournament and that's kinda beautiful.

A Bear, Bononi, Nick, and Dustin bring it to 12. We only need 4 more for a fully stacked bracket. 3 more, if you have Tall Paul take a spot just to say he's been in an AEW ring.

Even if he's not signed, Bononi came to AEW with no contacts in the industry besides WWE, and was so poorly trained by the PC that he had to be educated on what a false finish is. He's coming out of his AEW experience as a better wrestler, with better knowledge, and most important of all, a professional network that will enable him to put food on the table.

I imagine we'll still see Cezar on Dynamite every now and then but the Wingmen certainly aren't an act that will be there every week.

I imagine any money he can bring in is welcome given his wife's situation.

Crazy to think how Cezar’s gotten more TV time in AEW since September than he did in 5 years in NXT. I hope he keeps at it and keeps getting better, here’s obviously something there and I think he’ll be pretty well received by the GCW crowd.

JD goin’ for it too, the Wingmen are the perfect low card act.:

It's time....for the MAIN event!
This may sound silly, but should there be a light/feather weight title? I'd love to see a belt that smaller guys like Fuego, Marko, etc. can go after that shines a light on them.

No. A title for such a small fraction of the roster kinda buries them more than it elevates them.

Like, you could make a Dark title, I guess, but even that's kinda pushing it.

Make a Dark title and rip off the NWA's "if you retain this belt X times, you get a title shot" thing where if you can get like, three defenses in a row, you can trade in the title for a TNT Title shot on Dynamite or something.

Then make the Dark champ fight the Strong Openweight champ for king of the developmental shows.

I can't remember which promotion has it, but I think there's a title where you can only compete for it if you have less than x years experience in wrestling. That seems like a pretty cool title to have for shining a light on promising younger talent but would also be hilarious if it turned out that someone like the Butcher was eligible for it.

You may be thinking of the short lived U-30 title in New Japan, competed for by wrestlers younger than 30.
