Tanahashi should wrestle on dynamite and he should lose. They should do this to remind NJPW that the weak serve the strong.

I’m ok with this because we get more KENTA

Dark Order isnt gonna show up to save Hangman until 5 meekly wanders out when the beatdown is already over and I'm going to turn into the Joker.

Considering their cost-saving ideas right now, I'm more inclined to think they'll announce their version of a death match for next week's Raw.

Drew McIntyre vs Jinder Mahal in a "Butt-kicking Match" where the most "violent" spot is Jinder spraying Drew with a fire extinguisher.

It's going to be amazing when Hangman finally does get his title shot and Kenny hits him with the exact same belt shot, V-Trigger, OWA combo and Page kicks out.

Kenny is very protective of that move but it would be so bad rear end if Hangman kicks out at 1 and fires up after the first OWA, and then kicks out of a second one after cheating at 2.99. I'd be jumping up and down screaming.

Also I don't really feel the Naito comparison is apt at all. Hangman is winning the belt at, absolute latest, Full Gear, four months from now. Naito's journey start to finish took like seven years.

Some sort of horrible event will happen in 2 months that will turn us all off from cowboys and Hangman will end up working in Mexico until he finds a new gimmick.

I feel like if they’re changing opponents, you REALLY need to make sure it’s not going to be against someone who the crowd are going to poo poo on for not being Hangman. Christian is a BIG risk in that department. Eddie or OC would be more sensible

Something on the Christian as contender thought: on Wednesday, Christian was ranked #3, not #2. Jungle Boy was #2 (behind Hangman). Now they could fix that by having JB take a big loss or Christian a big win — maybe that’s what Blade attacking Christian is going to lead to. But the idea of the two of them having a number one contenders’ match when they’ve been allies lately is interesting.

this only matters if he would not have done tremendous business if he had won the belt on the previous attempt. which i think is very very hard to prove.

If he had won on the previous attempt you don't get the later business nor do you get the other champions in between who did good business? The point is Naito ended up working when he won the title. This isn't a case like Sting or Tyler Black who did not win when they were at their hottest and cooled off. (Sting kind of winning and being stripped right after.)

Hangman ending up like one of them wouldn't be so good!

I swear... same thing happened for All Out. Manged to get a nice lower bowl seat in Row 5, kind of center with the ring. My favorite type of seat! Was $113 with fees

I'm in section 334 for Rampage, not ideal, but good enough. I used AEWUC and it seems like the better seat-people might have been on PWTUC?

So what you're saying is that Hangman is going to become the clear top draw and merch mover in the whole country and stay that way for years until he wins the belt in a 5+ snowflake instant classic?

In fact, Naito is probably the best modern example of someone who doesn't actually need the belt to be a top guy.

Even if Hangman isn't in the main event AEW PPVs are pretty much always great shows. If you like that style of wrestling, why would Hangman's inevitable title win being pushed back a few months stop you from buying the show?
