Hasta la Sunset Vista, baby
I a little bit wonder if doing Kenny/Hangman at All Out was a change from the original plan to begin with. Maybe with Kenny as banged up as he was they wanted to get the match in while the could, but now that he's had some different treatment and looking great they can shift back to doing the match at Full Gear or Revolution.

So I see we've entered the part of the PPV cycle where the babyface has another obstacle put in his way and everyone goes "WHELP I GUESS HE'S JUST DEAD FOREVER AND AEW IS BAD NOW"

MRT brought up Tyler Black. That was a multi-year title hunt that was left too late and it was only a couple of months between Final Battle and 8th anniversary. It did irreparable damage to Tyler's reign as champion. I hope I'm wrong but the crowd is never going to be hotter than this.

Tyler's title hunt was basically repeated failures in title matches though.

2008

He lost 1 on 1 vs Nigel when he was the underdog to even get in the match and put on an incredible performance.

He lost in a 4 way in New York where he put in the same performance when it got down to the final two with Nigel.


Then in January of 09 he fails in a 49 minute 60 minute draw.

Then he loses another elimination match for the title the next month

Then he loses in another 4 way on an early ROH on HDNet.

Then he loses in a 3 way elimination where Aries wins the belt.

Then he loses in another 4 way.

In December of that year he has the draw with Aries where he fails to win the title.

Then in February of 2010 he finally wins it. The pay off was really good, but they clearly lost their way somewhere in the EIGHT title matches he failed in!

i am very excited for how the main event unfolds between now and september 5th. this weirdly reminds me of the bad explosion ppv ending, where it was just agony waiting for the next canon step to air, but still having faith that recovery was well within reach.

December of 09 was the perfect time. People were still with him and he was a little less bad on the mic. It did peak then, but they missed the peak. It's hard to tell when the peak is, AEW could miss it. But I don't think the situations are comparable. Could be a Luger situation where the hot star gets passed over for the new toys, but I also doubt that.

I'm less convinced that Page's title run is derailed than I am that P&P's loss means all the theorizing that they'd win the belts in Queens probably isn't true. That's a bummer.

The crowd was pissed because there was a huge snowstorm and it was going to a draw. Like, people were really mad he wasn't going to win.

It's possible I'm remembering wrong but I definitely got texts from people in the building who figured out after like 20 minutes it was going to a draw and were pissed.

It's a misstep. You could get a time machine to give me peak DDP vs Kenny Omega right now and I'd still not give a poo poo. I'm not running away to the WWE or anything, but this dampens my interest in upcoming AEW events. Whether the Bucks drop the titles to FTR or not is irrelevant, neither team is particularly engaging to me. Omega isn't dropping the belt to anyone but Hangman, and dragging that out another four months feels like exactly that--dragging.

Miro is the only champion I'm pumped about, and currently he's scheduled to murder...some guy. Yeah it'll be cool to see Danielson and Punk again, but it's not going to fix the bigger issues I'm having with the show.


Regardless of how I feel about Omega/Page, I'm still just lost on FTR winning. PnP are too good to keep playing second fiddle to every other tag team in the division. It's frustrating.

Take me to your Shida

I'm only mad about Hangman not getting the title shot at all out because I wanted to be there live when it happened.

If they do Kenny/Christian as the main event though they run the risk of people just leaving during the match which would be funny but not good.

Maybe they're gonna do Kenny/Switch title v title

Full Gear is in St. Louis and if there's anything I've learned about the state of Missouri in the past year or so it's that they don't give a poo poo about the virus

Yeah, perhaps. And the injury might have shortened that match. Its just a case of i wasn't really buying into the imminence of Santana and Ortiz's title win but I was kind of expecting a win there. So the loss surprised me and leaves me unconvinced its a sure thing. But I guess if you go by the "home town" theory maybe they get their win back in NY.

You debut Punk at Rampage and then you main event All Out with CM Punk vs Darby Allin and there you have your white hot send the crowd home happy match.
