I forgot about the Halo gear oh god. It looked like a child’s costume, I’m not sure if the helmet would have helped or made it more absurd. There’s a way to do insufferable gamer poo poo and have it kick rear end like Kenny’s sephiroth entrance.

Hangman on a heel belt chase against face champ swerve is more fun imo.

I disagree. The story is Hangman is obsessed with keeping Swerve from ever winning the world title. The resolution of that is Swerve winning the title. So logically, he should win it from Hangman. I think the story becomes a little diluted if it shifts from "YOU WILL NEVER WIN THE WORLD TITLE" to "Okay, well, you won it, but I WOULD PREFER IF YOU DIDN'T HOLD IT FOR VERY LONG!"

You can have Hangman chase Swerve after he wins, but that kinda strikes me as like. The denouement, after Swerve has beaten Hangman for the title, rather than the climax.

Like, whatever else you can say about Cole, the dude is clearly all in on AEW. You can argue that that might not be a good thing, but still.

I think it was the shoulder pads that exacerbated it, made it look like a toddler in an adult costume. And not a good one, a cheap deal from Party City.

I don't care if brawls are happening in gorilla and monitors are falling on Tony Kahn, someone failed in their job of telling Adam Cole not to go on television wearing that thing. TK can hire me to do it

Maybe, but I’d also rather swerve get his title run now while the iron is hot because he rules and I don’t think wedging hangman back into the equation to dethrone Joe and then giving him a long enough run to make the chase ‘worth it’ will do them any favours on that front

Yeah I'm the opposite. I don't think Swerve's there yet and I want a long tortured babyface arc.

I love Adam Cole just because him winning all his matches with nut shots and interference made people so mad. Just a bitch-rear end slime ball who got geeked at every PPV.

Jay White has now taken over the role and people are similarly furious about it!

Adam Cole's main thing being an annoying poo poo that pushed multiple people to borderline murder him was funny. Got thrown off a twenty foot platform by Orange, brain scrambled by a conchairto from Christian, crown of thorns on Easter from Hangman. People loving hated this rear end in a top hat so much. I keep waiting for Wardlow to push his wheelchair down a flight of stairs next

The live promos were really good until they turned him face. Crazy that the guy who got over as a blood thirsty heel in the promotion where violence is the most respected thing is struggling now that he can't do the things he's best at

Not really. He just went from a cartoon villain to a good guy trying to still act like a cartoon villain.

He needs more reality. More Stephon Strickland, less Mogul.

I want Swerve to win but what you're trying to sell me is Joe remains champ for a little longer and god drat it MJeff if you're not convincing me.

my only complaint about Swerve was they tried to just shove the whole home invasion under the rug lol. he didn't need to be a face in the Samoa Joe feud, he doesn't even need to be the face in the Hangman feud. Sometimes both/all competitors can just be whackjobs, it's totally fine, just have everyone be insane for this run.

I assume Swerve will lean more into heel poo poo again because he'll probably be facing a face Ospreay at Wembley.

I have consumed some horrendous energy drinks sold from some shady bodegas or vape stores, but have never seen a place stock the woo energy. I think it makes you melt into a pile of goo like that movie Street Trash

he tried choking joe out from behind, laughed while bleeding out and signed his title contract with his own blood. he's still got the killer's edge. he's just facing a dude who knows that game better than anyone else on the roster and isn't gonna be as easily rattled as someone like hangman.
