There are 30 active undefeated fighters in the UFC with 7 or more wins and one of them is fighting for a title later tonight. So AEW is downright restrained compared to shoot sports.

Jade Cargill and CM Punk's are the only ones they've been pushing for a while now. Of course Hook and Adam Cole would be undefeated, they haven't been in the company all that long anyway.

Also, Adam Cole is losing his to Orange Cassidy soon.

Didn't Cole take the pin at Full Gear? It's not really a winning streak when he has a few losses already.

Well obviously he didn't see it, or he'd be wearing a hardhat :colbert:
Sting is also undefeated, I think. He had that streak vs streak match against the rear end club recently.

I'm pretty sure it was Matt Jackson taking the pin in that one. Cole is still undefeated in singles matches, but they aren't really playing up his streak.

Lights Out matches don't count to the rankings. He's losing it to Hangman at Revolution.

Punk got his rear end kicked the other week and won in a fluke. He's been taken to the limit by midcarders. They're not really telling a story of dominant, undefeated Punk.

They do separate W/L records for singles, but Cole's been defeated several times in tags:

10/27/21 Dark Order over Elite
11/13/21 Cage & Jurassic over SuperKliq
11/17/21 Jurassic over Cole & Fish
12/15/21 CHAOS over SuperKliq & Fish

Never taken the pinfall, but it's still a tag loss.

To be fair, by that same logic, Danielson had a loss from like his 3rd week in. (He and the Jurassic pals lost an 8 man to the Elite, but I think it was Luchasaurus that took the pin)

Jokatgulm is tedium.
Jokatgulm is pain.
Jokatgulm is suffering.

I can sorta understand their point, because with surprise appearances you can't back out of spending money if they bring in an abuser, and by establishing surprises at the first show down people are either going to not buy tickets or be prepared for massive disappointment.
Building up trust is hard after something like Speaking Out and this really doesn't help, since it's basically establishing they can bring in anyone they want after they've gotten your money.
It's not about who they bring but that it really makes it less transparent who they are working with.

It's such a ridiculous stretch, because lets assume the worst and they do bring in surprise a sexual assaulter or sex creep suddenly on a show. They got one show out of that and then completley kill their reputation for all subsequent shows. By doing that they sold zero extra tickets AND actively hurt future ticket sales. It's people trying to bemoan a problem that does not exist.

Cagematch suggests that they worked some singles matches back in 2013 over the US title and one RAW match, and some house shows in 2011, and that’s about it for one on one stuff. So it’s been almost a decade. Last time they worked any match with each other was the 2018 Tribute to the Troops in a tag match where it was them against Styles and Rollins. Before that it was the WrestleMania ladder match where Mox took the powerbomb from Brodie through the ladder on the outside.

These people don't care about firing and hiring. WWE has made all that stuff meaningless to them because they do it so frequently.

Like a bunch of them are already confused by AEW not doing the same on a regular basis.
