Yeah I just wanna see the apparently super good wrestler wrestle

plus it kinda highlights how the women's division doesn't have the same breathing room as the men's again. When an Okada or a Danielson come in it's easy to have 1 in 4 matches be the Okada or Danielson match for a few weeks but every match Mercedes gets is a slot where no one else wrestles. (Other than her opponent.)

When Bryan Danielson came in he didn't wrestle the next week, he wrestled at the next big show in a dream match against Kenny Omega.

Punk's first match was on PPV.

Christian took a few weeks before getting a TV match with Frankie Kazarian.

Ospreay's first match as a roster talent was on PPV.

The only person who got the big hype coming in as a great big time wrestler and debuted right away in a TV match was Okada.

Callis Family needs to turn on Ospreay this week. Ospreay is full of Babyface fire right now, which may be they didn't anticipate?, and him being with Callis but also wrestling Callis guys makes no sense.

I imagine the original plan probably was to have them turn when Mark Davis is back so we can have Ospreay/Aussie Open be a unit but Ospreay is so over as a babyface right now you need to do the breakup quick

Callis has said this is iron sharpening iron. But you just know he's planning on turning on Will. But I wouldn't be shocked if a lot of his group decides to side with Will instead.

I don't think he started gaming until like 2016 or something incredibly recent, compared to most gamers, so a lot of our old, bad habits? Yeah, he doesn't do that.

AEW can't win cause if Mercedes wrestled straight away Dave would be saying they should have waited for a big PPV and promoted it

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I do kind of wonder at the kayfabe logic of Callis booking Ospreay against all his own stable partners. But in kayfabe Callis didn't have a lot of reason for turning on Kenny either

Or Jericho for that matter

what was the reasoning with Kenny again? Not bailing on the elite so he can focus on singles? Maybe Callis will have a problem with Ospreay still representing UE

I think her first promo was great and her second promo was fine and her commentary perfectly normal and the people I went to Big Bu$iness with thought she was great.

I mean, he explained the kayfabe logic when he announced Ospreay/Takeshita. Ospreay is new to the company and Callis wants to show him off, but he can't just send him against a champion because wins matter in AEW and if he let the normal match committee arrange a match he'd be fighting random low-card guys and not people he could properly show off against. So, in order to properly show off his shiny new toy, Don arranged matches with the second, third and fourth-best wrestlers in AEW: the other members of the Don Callis family.

(Technically that means a Family member is also eating a loss no matter what, but Takeshita was just fighting for number one contender status last week. They're doing fine.)

They've been subtlely building it the entire time, but it seems to be another Kenny situation. Don can't control Billie and was just using him to spite Kenny and Jericho. If you notice in all these family matches, Don only talks up Will's opponent and never Will himself. He pushed for Takeshita to get a title shot, not Will. He announced Takeshita as the only one to beat Omega and Jericho when Will did that too. The active turn is certainly happening after the Bryan match.

Chugs being awful at games is a solid 45% of why the DaParty uno was the best weekly wrestling show going for most of 2020.
