It still makes me mad to think ol' Johnny Ace told her "nobody would ever want a poster of you on their wall." Big talk from the worst Laurenitis brother.

It legit baffles me that, even if WWE is gonna do the gross 'women are only marketable if pretty' thing, that they seem to have no idea that anything other than the Barbie-doll aesthetic might be considered attractive. Like, they're even bad at being sexist!

Epitasis said on an EE episode some number of weeks ago that Page can lose and it can fit with his new character where he's not afraid of failure and I agree. If they choose to tell that story and extend the Omega run I can support the Bryan and co angle a bit more. Also, Punk or Bryan should be the fifth trial of Jericho, and he should lose to them as a way of actually keeping Jericho and MJF away from each other until MJF wants the fight with Jericho so bad that he gives up on his own stip. It would be amazing.

I've also thought that if they really, really want to draw out the story... do the time limit draw. Have Omega be unable to put Page away in the 60 minutes, and then do the no time limit next time. That still keeps to the story because Page overcomes his fear of failure, but it also pushes forward because this time, Omega didn't win.

page should lose and end the ppv by walking off unbothered. on dynamite he can cut a promo saying that he finally realized having his friends in the dark order was the real prize. then he unveils a ghoulish new championship belt made out of organs and bones. it's evil uno's body parts. they made a championship title belt out of his corpse after he couldn't get up off the floor two years ago no matter what anyone did to try and help him. the belt really smells like poo poo and everyone in the audience is holding their nose and waving their hands in front of their nose, but having a good time interacting with the performance.

I know the Bucks and Kenny have a very relaxed position on kayfabe but the WOR interview contains so little of the belt collector character that it feels like Kenny is winding it down.

I want hangman to win because i want those kenny dream matches to not be done under the constraints of heel cheat to win belt collector kenny. I think the hangman story has progressed to a point where he can win, and we can change up the dynamic of the elite running poo poo every week.

I really want to see Omega vs Bryan and Punk but if they don't wrap up the Hangman story at All Out with him winning the title I'm going to be pissed. Everything has been laid out perfectly up to this point. No more stalling

I think kenny could very well get the title again at some point as a face and have all the epic njpw style matches we can handle. Even accounting for any kind of earlier retirement than we thought. I mean lets be serious, retiring early by wrestling standards is retiring before they cant move anymore, they could have decades still. A pro wrestler who is still alive is only temporarily retired at best.

They are but that’s why I think they need just one last push. Really put omega and the bucks over as complete assholes and let Hangman just get ultra pissed. That’s also why I think it should be total shenanigans. Make it so that hangman looks completely cheated out of the win.

I have the literal opposite view - Kenny should pin Hangman first due to fuckery and the Dark Order come together through the power of friendship to win the match without Hangman showing how far they've come as a unit and that they din't need Hangman to win causing a huge explosion of a pop when Johnny Hungie pins Omega to ensure he and Hangman get their title shots. All while Don Callis cries and screams on commentary.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I'd have Hangman be eliminated and Silver put on the hero run but then get screwed by the Elite. Hangman's instinctively angry but then quickly realizes he agreed to this match and the Dark Order had his back. He realizes he's been putting too much of his self worth in failure and when Omega and the Elite mock him he's chill and says he'll earn another shot. This infuriates them. Then do an eliminator tourney or casino battle royal or something for Hangman to earn a title shot in a big, momentum building run of wins. Omega and the Elite are apoplectic. Hangman wins.

yeah you're right the guy who they're setting up to challenge Kenny Omega should be the first one pinned in the match, by Kenny Omega. that's a very smart way to book a challenger for a title.
