i know there are some questions about what it means to be the CEO of AEW

thankfully mercedes has put together an informative video on how to be a CEO in your own life

I don't really see it as an issue that they never went after Undisputed Kingdom because I buy Jay White as the kind of guy to suggest the team-up based on that premise purely with the intention of stabbing The Acclaimed in the back.

lets just be happy it's over. The devil poo poo was so bad and they wanted to play off these others who were caught up in their wake but now everyone wants to just forget that poo poo so lets just move on. Also the acclaimed came off so lame last night and I just want BCG to beat them and move on and never interact with them again.

I don’t, I expect Jay white to hold that grudge

Whether or not it pays off here, idk, and i am unsure if I even want the storyline to be resolved, I am mostly just complaining that the storyline that has been done thus far has been poorly done and I am dissatisfied

(Also I am trying very hard to cope with enormous anxiety by shitposting about rasslin, i am so hosed, life is not good in the rotinaj household)

What was the point where everybody turned on the Acclaimed? I know there were plenty of people who didn't like the acclaimed well before they won the belts but what was the catalyst for seemingly everyone to be fed up with them in general? Was it the BBSG stuff?

I feel it was when they were abruptly written out of the Devil storyline. The MJF/Caster stuff was interesting and moved both guys forward. Then the Acclaimed was beat up by Cole's goons and the follow-up was MJF ignoring it and Caster just briefly shrugging it off in a promo. Then it was interesting when both the Acclaimed and BCG wanted a piece of the Undisputed Kingdom for the prior beatdowns, but they immediately got distracted by the prospect of teaming up and forgot they were ever mad to begin with.

From there, they were just an overstuffed group with nobody to feud with. Nothing much was happening in a time when they were building to a big PPV, so the whole thing felt even more dead. It looked like a slow burn to something with a possible Caster heel turn, but then abruptly pivoted into a much-needed breakup and everyone's back where they were.

I hope last night was a sign that Stokley will eventually manage Mercedes. He'd be a perfect fit.

My partner is adamant that this is the plan and I'm starting to believe as well. It would be fantastic.

In my thread about my channel setup I have a link to a good connector that doesn't require external power, but most HDMI-to-AV connectors can get the job done in a pinch before you start going to the specialized stuff. :science:

The last person got hit with a bat, but Copeland put all those nails so close together, maybe he did the whole bed of nails thing where the surface area is too diffuse

Did they ever mention what the deal was with the action figures on the commentary table? They were there in the background of so many shots and I can’t remember if they ever said anything about them, but I may have just missed it in my sickly stupor.

That's the same entranceway we went through to get to the show and I saw the car parked to the side and I was like "huh, whose supercar is that? Hopefully a wrestler and not just a rich guy"

Them the show started and it turns out it was a wrestler who IS a rich guy!

I don't know if you can have Willow be a heel. It seems physically impossible.

Mercedes working heel against Willow, though? And joined by Stokely has her hype man? I could see that.

I feel like Mercedes/Stat simultaneous heel turns on Willow to form a new unit with Stoke as mouthpiece is the ideal way for things to shake out.

I dunno if they have the guts to bring in Mercedes as a face-of-the-company figure and then immediately turn her heel though; feels like we’re going to get a Punk thing of her playing against optimal type for a while

Eh, presenting Mercedes as a heel right now is uphill booking that AEW doesn't need.

Osprey is playing mega face while being aligned with the most nuclear heat heel on the roster and they are dealing with it basically by ignoring it, which kinda owns

I can't remember who said it but I love the analysis that after fighting smug, overpowered gaijin heels forever, Okada just decided to become one.

I kind of assumed his first major angle in AEW would be breaking off from the Don Callis Family so that they're choosing instead to just ignore the association for the most part is an interesting route to take. My positive assumption on the matter is that they're waiting for Mark Davis to get healthy before they actually get the breakoff started.

Wardlow beats Adam Cole so badly that MJF comes to Cole's aid. Because AEW is about friendship and friendship is about forgiving people.

I could see this, UE breaking away from callis

I still think they wanted to bring him in as a heel for now, but his first scrum and especially his first promo killed that idea dead.
