Seeing Nakamura covered in blood with a giant grin on his face makes me real, real sad.

Like I know it's gauche to hope that a guy gets fired so I can watch him in the company I like, but, gently caress!!!!

is aew really promoting this danielson match as a big deal? it's something that could happen on any dynamite or rampage any given week, and it'd get a "oh sure, that'll probably be solid" reaction and it'd do what aew needs it to do, which... is all i'd expect from tony nese vs Big Name.
if aew's trying to sell it as notable, it's very much not weird for people to be disappointed by the other half of that match being a guy who got punked by kevin gates and hasn't had a match on dynamite in 4 months.

It’s fans making up a big deal in their head and getting mad about it.

Nah, it's cool, I always hope something happens that forces Bryan Danielson to wrestle full-time in All Japan. We're allowed to be a little bit selfish as wrestling fans.

It's at best the third biggest match on a weekly TV show. Putting any amount of thought into it beyond "I don't give a poo poo about Tony Nese" or "Tony Nese is actually a solid wrestler so I'm looking forward to it" is unhealthy behavior

edit: forgot about the tag title match; it's actually the fourth biggest match on the card!

Yes in the main event of a stand alone Rampage in a building they'd always wanted to run. Bryan is not in the main event, because he's not selfish. Instead the Home Town Kid Darby Allin is main eventing in a big title rematch.

For what it's worth, my first reaction to hearing the show I'd be going to had Tony Nese vs Bryan Danielson was disappointment. I definitely wanted to see a bigger match than that. But oh well, I'll get to see Bryan Danielson kick some dude's head in so I'm ok with it in the end.

This is pretty much how I feel. Like others have said, Danielson probably has a lot of influence over who he wrestles and when, and while I wish his opponent was a bigger name, the match will probably be really good and will lead to something with MJF so I'm cool with it

I think an angle a lot of people are overlooking is that yes, Bryan Danielson is a hometown hero who will get a hero's welcome in Washington. He's also gotten to wrestle in the Tacoma Dome and Key/Climate Pledge Arena. He even retired there.

As mentioned, Darby Allin and Swerve Strickland are also both from Washington and regulars at Defy, which has attendance top out around 1,000. This is going to be the biggest 'hometown' show either of them have ever had by several orders of magnitude. Assuming Danielson requested this match and not a long main event on this Dynamite, I can see why he'd want to take a relative backseat to the two of them.

Even going back to the Bucks main eventing that Rampage, that was also their first "arena" show in Southern California (they'd done some big-ish NJPW shows in California, but most of those were Bay Area shows). Also as mentioned Bryan is way less selfish than 99% of wrestlers.

Yep, seriously. "Oh nooooo Danielson is going to have what is fairly likely going to be a pretty drat good match against a guy who can go in the ring, who has been having decent matches regularly for a while. Oh, the humanity!"

Birds revere you and consider you one of their own.

You are welcome in their holy places.
Tony Nese is a great wrestler but he comes across as super bland on TV so the role of "cheap heat heel jobber who loses to great babyface wrestlers in great matches" is perfect for him. There are too many great wrestlers in AEW for all of them to be top guys.

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.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

If only there was some way to build up the MJF and Bryan match that's coming up soon.

I dunno, like if MJF had a lawyer who also acted as a manager. And maybe one of the wrestlers managed by that lawyer could be put in a match with Bryan?

Too bad AEW doesn't have anyone like that, I guess.

Yeah, honestly, it's one thing to stay in character and be all about HEEEEEEAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, but I agree with the guy. MJF really should just delete that tweet.

Some things, you really shouldn't try to exploit for cheap heat. poo poo like the colonisation of Ireland, the English genocide of the Irish, and the Troubles fits squarely in that category.
