How come Shibata ended up in the Khanverse anyways? I'd have thought he'd have been a lock to go back to New Japan if he got healthy, considering his last match was for the world title. Are they just more squeamish about medically clearing him? (I mean, I don't blame them, what with his brain being taken out and all...)

The rumor is that the spot where he told Ren Narita they were going to work a regular match instead of a UWF style match was a shoot and not cleared by NJPW.

New Japan wont actually fully clear him and even apparently his Wrestle Kingdom return match went off script of what he was allowed to do

You never wanna have to switch the belt out because of an injury. Good thing the smart storyline choice is to have Samoey Joey win anyway

gently caress those other three loser belts, just give the C2 winner the world title instead and book Swerve to win it

Was this also from the elbow drop spot?

I'm still baffled why they didn't just grab another table or something for it.

I might be the only who wants to rankings to come back. It allowed for more out of the box match ups, built up people to be threats, and makes sure people are focusing on grabbing the title. I think the main problem of the MJF run is that for a guy whose suppose to be getting it from every angle, they stove piped one challenger at a time.

You are far from the only one.

The rankings were kind of messy but they kept the booking honest. Deciding that Dark was rankings relevant was probably a mistake since it made everyone's stats insanely padded and cause weird outliers where people who were getting training matches on Dark had better stats than stars getting pushes.

The Dark wins padding was annoying but at least the rankings kept a through line in the booking and made AEW much different than WWE.

I'm sure that the rankings were annoying but genius is the capacity for taking infinite pains

just like how when Emi went full time in America, the ChocoPro crew ditched singing and dancing at the start of the show, they didn't have what makes Emi special

I think MJF should win and then take some time off and there should be an Interim World Champion in the meantime.

Make the aew title a fractal championship, every defense the two people become champ and interim champ, then they go and face another person each and make there be 4 champs, 8, 16…

Mjf barely squeaking through joe and picking up a hurt neck in the process, only for swerve to brutally pick the bones in a onesided stomp would be rad

And then mjf can have a big hot match down the road and we can see if he is a better babyface in the chase

Joe should win but I think there needs to be another champion between him and Swerve. Darby or Eddie maybe.
