Dan Lambert owned.

But he was too powerful for the AEW fanbase and was banished.

I know he feels obligated cause he probably dropped a lot of dosh on signing her but I'd be fine if Saraya got no more TV time for the rest of her contract . No offense

I'm fine with Saraya oafing around at ringside and maybe doing tag matches but good lord whatever magic she had as a singles wrestler is long gone.

I think Timeless Toni Storm is still a gimmick way to silly in ring for a champion plus the Boston show being named Big Business is obviously about the return of former Memphis manager Big Business Brown so we need the thread open for that

I know there's a lot of problems with rankings in pro wrestling but I think some of these podcasters go out of their way to not understand how they work. Like, they're mad because they don't understand by the Young Bucks aren't in the rankings despite the fact that the Bucks hadn't wrestled a single match in 2024 until literally yesterday. Why is that hard to understand?

Eliminator takes you out of contention if you lose, Proving Ground puts you into contention if you win.

Proving Ground match is "win or last 10 minutes to get a title shot." No idea if the 10 minute stip is all the time, but it is sometimes.

I hear way more about the rankings from Bryan and Dave than I do watching the dang show.

Like UFC and boxing, rankings are part math and part something else. No one wants the sportsmanship algorithm making matches strictly based on records, so I don't know why they get so nitpicky about the rankings being "wrong" or whatever.

I was actually kind of confused about this recently because commentary said Bryan Keith vs. Eddie Kingston was a Proving Grounds match but it was way longer than 10 minutes. I assume commentary just hosed up.

i'm pretty sure before the match Ex mentioned on commentary that Swerve was ahead in the rankings because he'd beaten Hanger twice , so surely a time-limit draw would leave swerve ahead? it confused me

Also I think they established the last time they used Rankings that sometimes they'll just have the #1 and #2 ranked guys fight for a title shot.

It should operate on No More Heroes rules, if the bottom guy wins he automatically becomes number 1 but then that means the new number 1 guy can get challenged anywhere at any time by anyone in the ranks
