I think it's generous to call two of them pillars

I always thought the pillars thing was silly because they were always pegged as future stars. To me the pillars of AEW at the beginning were the elite, jericho and Mox.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

Wasn't the whole point of the Four Pillars concept that it's about the future stars cause it's referencing the original Four Pillars of All Japan or some such?

The point was for MJF to cut a promo on people he'd beaten/would beat.

I think what really throws me is that last year during the Mox build MJF was doing really good face promos and I thought he'd be able to be a great babyface. Now it's just all fallen apart and I think the only way they can correct is have Joe win the title and MJF take time off to get healthy

Yes, they're all young first year AEW wrestlers who caught on in some way with the crowd and had a high in-ring ceiling.

I think the AEW = Judaism comment was directed at WWE lifers/Cornett creeps not AEW protestants like this thread. Like noted virulent anti-semite Martin Luther, this thread is a big list of complaints nailed to TK's door because of love.

Okada doesn't do stupid grab-rear end masked man storylines during the G1. Just sayin'.

"Scooby Dooby Doo" Balloon Okada was during G1 2018. But you know, that was a genuine character arc and felt in keeping with Okada goes in insane without the big one trait not a meandering, stalled story with a for sure anti-climatic resolution.

That is true. But also, more to the point I was trying to make, in 2018, the champion was Omega, who just did, y'know.

To be fair, nobody makes Tony engage with the stupidest people on the stupidest website. Just because Dave Meltzer does it doesn't make it a good idea Tony, especially when the criticism clearly starts to get to you after a while.

Im not as plugged into whatever narratives are happening on twitter/in Tony's brain, but it appears he may believe that a criticism is that he is just leaving RoH as he found it (which for the record i think is both true and a positive) because literally the only info we got in the womens tv title announcement was

1. After a great year it's time for the new era of ROH to leave its mark on the womens division
2. there will be such a thing as the womens tv title in coming weeks

Also the prerecorded show on their own streamer started 40 minutes late but whatever you know
