EKO SMASH!
I'm just now rewatching the Archer/Mox match, and the way AEW handles wrestler homecomings really stuck out to me. Like not only did Archer go over, but he also got to enter second, and it seemed like every show they were promoting (Cincinnati, Pittsburgh), they mentioned which AEW stars were from there. Such a far cry from the "you can't go over in your hometown" WWE bullshit.

Agreed. Just a part of why I love this company so much... way back in the day local wrestlers winning in an area was the default as it was an easy way to pop the crowd and let them leave the arena super happy. The whole "losing in your hometown" thing was a purposeful reversal of that but wwe forgot that you don't have to always get heat. AEDub isn't a company made for just one person and it shows.

This is great obviously, but I do hope it's not a hard-and-fast booking rule, as Santana and Ortiz need to kick The Revival's rear end in North Carolina

I mean the big IF they come in I think AEW has built enough trust to do it right. I hope if Punk comes in he gives them a chance instead of just going full bore prick but Bryan Danielson? I can't imagine him coming in being anything other than brilliant. The American Dragon has always been generous to his opponents and he will be the first to want to try and build some younger new talent.


I can see Bryan coming in, looking at the roster, and saying, "Ooh, give me Penta. Give me Fenix. Give me Sammy, Orange, Jungle Boy, Dante Martin. Hell, give me Fuego!"

Punk, on the other, I don't think would accept anything less than a main event slot.

With Danielson: oh yeah. Seriously a million dream match ups and I would love if he got a Mox deal as I've been dreaming about this for like a decade now. All of your list makes me so loving happy.

Don't get too down on Punk tho as a motivated Punk in the past was amazing. I get annoyed with curmudgeons as much as anyone (I must confess that I too can be a bit of a dick at times) but if I'm in a happy place it leads me to turn into a giant hippy. Give Punk a chance as we might have said "Lou Parper? Who the hell is this jobber and what has he ever done?" I would not have said that but some might. Let AEW work its magic.

*googles who she was engaged with* oh my god they have to now, it has to happen. A distraught Fuego becomes an honorary Team Taz member as QT and Solo get into a blood feud against Ricky and the rest of Team Taz for Solo's honor.

Solo: *barely holding back tears* You took my love! and YOU, Fuego, took the W out of my name!!
Fuego: i-i don't- you gave it to me??
Hobbs: *puts his hand on Fuego's shoulder, who sells for it* Team TAZ never backs down, specially not from a loser like you.
TAZ: Yeah, Marshal, if your boys wanna fight my boys be my guest! Every one of these men are ready to lay their lives in a fight
Fuego: lay my life?! *ricky starts making out with Bayley in the background as Comoroto holds Solo back*
