Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I definitely think Page/Jackson would be a great step for his story. You could have Matt rub it in Page's face that he lost, Page boast that he pinned him, lots of back and forth. Have Jackson throw it in Page's face that he screwed them while they were trying to hold the Elite together. Have Page own his mistakes and say he's learned to move on instead of wallowing in it and point out that the Bucks have basically regressed and gone back to their old cheating ways where they're willing to do anything for fear of losing. Page says he almost slipped to that place but he came out stronger.

I'd get really behind that in terms of really fleshing out Page's journey to be about himself instead of his friends.

everything makes more sense when you realize this is likely Kenny Omega's last big title run, maybe ever. dude's body has taken an absurd amount of abuse and I really doubt he's going to get to hold the AEW world title again when they have Hangman, MJF, Pac (god willing) and others lined up to get a taste of the gold.

kenny can fight anyone in the building and it'll be one of the best matches of the year. i'm not worried about who he fights next as long as they have an rear end to kick.

I dunno about doing two AEW title changes in a row on free tv.

I like that AEW only has 4 PPVs and none of the PPVs feel any bigger than the others. Then we don't get this poo poo like "Page need to have his coronation at PPV X!" when we could just get it on Dynamite.

I've never watched an episode of AEW in my life and I know what they're doing with Hangman and anyone acting differently is disingenuous or dangerously stupid.

You could argue, relatively successfully, that AEW should never do a title change on anything except free TV ever again.

Does anyone else get the feeling that some people are like, extremely hypersensitive to all the things that bad wrestling companies have done over the years and so any time there's even a remote whiff of something that might vaguely remind them of something WCW or TNA or WWE did the immediate response is to go into full on "Oh no ITS HAPPENING AGAIN" mode?

Absolutely 100% companies will do something that WWE has done badly and people will complain about it thinking the thing is bad as opposed to WWE is bad

I stopped watching wrestling between 2002 and 2016 and I only gave WWE a good faith effort for like a year before I realized it was loving stupid and bad. I generally trust what AEW is doing so it feels like there might be something to this theory!

I definitely get this impression from the number of people insanely thinking Bryan and/or Punk are going straight into the title picture.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

People who care deeply about something have big reactions to it. I personally like the decision and think there's lots of great room for stuff with Page here that still keeps him on track to beat Kenny. But I also came at it as someone who felt like his story wasn't complete. For people who did feel his story was complete they're upset and worried that things might have gotten delayed. That's understandable and reasonable. So let people voice their thoughts and vent their concerns. I don't get why this place is s resistant to that and prefers to just insult people and act above it all.
