"WWE brain" is really the go-to for "I disagree" in AEW threads, isn't it. I haven't watched WWE in years. I was thinking more along the lines of paralleling Ibushi's booking after the first Golden Lovers split, where he spread himself too thin between multiple promotions. But yeah sure, my idea is totally to have Kenny job to the jobbiest jobbers in the world with no booking or context. You sure got me there.

Your idea is for Kenny to, after not being pinned for over a year, after beating Hangman, both Lucha Bros, PAC, Orange Cassidy, Jungle Boy, and Jon Moxley twice to give all of the creative capital for that to a different company and to do it in a way where the guy from the other company isn't even beating Omega clean, he's getting Hangman's help to do it. And Hangman's triumphant catharsis over Omega comes in a match he's not involved in, where he gains nothing from the result.

It is an idea that gets literally nobody over. It's the kind of thing someone would say if you said "lol how would WWE book Omega's belt collector storyline" as a joke.

It's so bad. Please keep defending it, it's really funny.

They obviously didn't get to do the match they wanted to do, so I would be shocked if they didn't run it back. They should really have PnP win the next one though.

Pretty sure we’re due for a Chaos Project main event, so they’ll probably just keep up with Snakeman and Pointman and their backstage hijinks.

If you've never watched the Okada vs Omega series check it out. They do a 2/3 falls match.

I've seen a few singles 2/3 falls (not Omega vs Okada though) just never a tag one....I don't think. Unless I saw one back when I watched WWE and forgot about it because they make everything completely forgettable

Edit: Yeah I never saw FTR vs DIY but I heard it whips.

I'm not doubting they can and will, but they sucked out a lot of heat from this PPV for no reason. There is a middle ground between: Five and four star matches back and back, making a classic PPV or WWE Monthly PPV number #4

Yeah, sounds great for Rampage and Dynamite, not for All Out.

Is the issue with the potential of Hangman not being in the main event of All Out against Kenny?

All Out 2021 is September 5. With Rampage coming soon, they have a potential of 8 shows to build Hangman up again for the PPV. Let's see how Hangman deals with the loss before not being happy about this.

It would be lame but very easy to just straightforwardly say "We don't think it's good that our competitor has people legitimately cutting themselves and using ungimmicked weapons on a regular basis," and you could probably get people to bite on that being kind of weird to put on TV

Instead they ran a clandestine operation trying to tsk tsk the very funny juxtaposition of a pizza cutter spot and an actual pizza commercial, and they managed to only get it planted in a poorly written article on a weird website nobody's heard of, making it easy for multiple people to immediately connect the dots. In this moment, I am very glad WWE works in the bizarre way that it does

This was awesome! I had a feeling DIY were going to win because of how much punishment Gargano took. Would have felt very lopsided if FTR won after that. That chop block near the end was brutal as hell and it was refreshing to see someone sell a leg "injury" the way he did rather than just ignore it after a point which I think happens too much.

Right back at your weird hyperbole, because I guess you're trying to make me mad about this or something? :confused: The kayfabe reason Kenny has all those wins isn't his in-ring ability. The question has never been whether he's beatable, it's whether he's beatable by Page. And he's not, for as long as he's got his full armor. Not sure how slowly taking away his armor over time is "WWE", but you can agree to disagree without being a douche about it.
