the aew ranking system is dogshit but a good version of it would be cool
I can't remember where I read this, but several months back I read a columnist's idea for revamping the rankings that sounded feasible: Do rankings per show. #1 ranked on Dark gets you into the rankings on Elevation, #1 ranked on Elevation gets you into the rankings on Dynamite/Rampage, #1 on Dynamite/Rampage gets you title shots. It wouldn't even affect most of the midcard because their W/L records are pretty equal, but it would really affect people they want to push.

look, we just need the mid-major wrestlers to be ranked among themselves.

here come the planes
aew's ranking system is absolutely fine as long as you don't make the mistake of assuming the snapshot we get every week of it is permanent and canonical

people are gonna go up and down in rankings as they have matches, and someone getting a streak of wins going 'artificially' by fighting not so good people on dark will end up getting matched up against better competitors because of it.

if they lose they'll go back down in rank, closer to where they should naturally be; if they keep winning then they start getting more and more justified for a title shot or similar

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.
This is awesome clap clap clapclapclap

Sometimes I think I might watch a Roman/Brock match to see if they're good and then I remember that I can practically let it play out from memory. Brock dominates early with Suplexes, eventually gets countered with three superman punches, they trade finishers until the finish. Every time.

Brock/Roman from Mania 31 has wrongly been retconned into being a great match, but no – it's exactly as you described. The action after Seth's cash-in is, like, 20 seconds.

hopefully getting called a pedo and receiving a bunch of racist harassment doesn't sour Takeshita on working in the states!

since this is probably going to be an ongoing narrative and Discourse among the usual anti-AEW brigade, i hope it's fine to skirt the rule on things in this thread having to be funny.

That makes sense. I thought it was just super old since I didn't recognize any of the people in the clip. Like people using the Yuni match to describe what Takeshita is like now years later

This reddit thread was only posted an hour ago, but it's got 100 replies of people really talking up that WWE will always be more successful for not doing wrestling.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCir...tm_source=share

"It’s true. However the “soap opera” storylines of WWE is a big reason why they have maintained relevance for so many years. It also sets them apart from their “competition”, if you want to even consider other wrestling promotions competition at this point. Limiting wrestler interactions to generic wrestling promos and matches is great, but it can get old quick. You need to have variety and creativity to achieve longevity and relevance."
