She does have a point that if this was the plan, Kenny or Callis could've dropped references to Page here and there. Nothing huge, maybe just Don counting off all the guys Kenny's seen off in his reign.

Kenny did drop a reference to Hangman right before Adam Cole debuted at All Out 2021. "The only people who would ever have a chance of beating me are not here (Hangman), they're already tired, or, they're already dead." Mox also directly referenced him not too long ago.

I would have enjoyed the Elite burying Adam Page more before he came back. Now Page needs to win singles victories against every Elite member (imagine Adam Cole throwing a hissy fit because he lost to Page/Imagine the Matt Jackson v Adam Page singles match) on his route to the AEW title.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Adam Page beating Kenny Omega is the path of the beam. Despite the fireworks of Bryan Danielson and CM Punk, Page has to be be the man to pin Omega. Page, as champion, defending against Bryan and Punk is just:vince:

It's the same energy from the types that go "I got hazed in the frat, I'll be damned if they stop hazing now" It's really sad and disappointing of Mark to say it

You should probably watch the top of New Japan bigger events. It's still very good. If you haven't seen Shingo Takagi's 2021 then you have deprived yourself of the best wrestler in the world.

Bryan issued an open challenge to any member of the Elite in order to get to a rematch with Kenny Omega. Kosmo Gallion was saying Hangman should defeat each Elite member in singles on his path to the AEW title match even though he can already directly challenge Omega any time. Personally, that kind of booking feels redundant

Personally, I'm fine with the dude that's been gone for seven years taking his time and cutting babyface promos while doing matches with younger guys to help elevate them, instead of just jumping headlong into a full-blown program after being back for less than two months :shrug:

Stand by this. I've given 2 ***** ratings in 2021, Takagi vs Okada & Takagi vs Ishii. Plus 4 more at 4.75. He's been untouchable imo, much like Go was the clear WOTY in 2020 for me.

So the thing is, I'm not doubting that, to you, Shingo Takagi has had the best year as a wrestler.

Vince McMahon created professional wrestling. He invented it. It didn't exist at all before him. He made it up in the 1980s. He said "Hey, what if we had two guys mimicking fighting in a ring but put stories and characters behind it?" True visionary, that man. Nobody had thought of it before.
