CaptainApathyUK posted:Which young boy do we think Heel Jericho successfully convinces to sit beneath the learning tree after Hook murders him on Sunday? Maybe someone like a Lee Johnson? Genuinely think nobody will ever benefit from being involved with Jericho. Convinced Hobbs and Takeshita are being put through some kind of medieval trial in AEW to see how much horseshit they can endure I.e. Jericho and Callis. Hobbs probably has gotten hosed the most but hopefully Mox will pull him out of the darkness for the final time. Lee Johnson just had the best match of his career with Kyle Fletcher so naturally Jericho would want to leech off him but I think sticking some of these guys in factions/with mentors can backfire too often. Again, poor Hobbs is like the prototype for this. Ironically I think Hobbs would do really well as an Ospreay United Empire guy, but I think Shotty Lee needs to do things on his own in ROH.

Why are all of AEW's top wrestlers Heels or Tweeners?

AEW's heel and face dynamics are more diverse than the WWE style that most people are used to. Mox is a babyface but that doesn't mean he won't beat the poo poo out of people for looking at him the wrong way. Ospreay is a babyface but he's aligned with Callis because his best buddy is and he joined the group back when he was still a heel. Swerve is a babyface but he broke into a man's house not that long ago and threatened his child.

Blankspot posted:I live in the US and have been buying AEW ppvs from Bleacher Report from the beginning. I can't keep up with the cost anymore with how many shows they do now. I was thinking of trying to VPN and ordering that way. here's how I do it. I got Nord VPN. The yearly price was crazy cheap - like $2.85 a month. Then I bought aew+ so I can get ppv discounts on triller and I can watch aew without commercials. And then I set vpn to ireland and that works every time. I was able to download the nord vpn and triller apps on my fire tv and I have to imagine they have apps on all smart televisions. Then I set the app on my tv to ireland and log into triller and watch that way. It's cheaper than buying cable thats for sure.

Mr Hootington posted:Wrong thread mostly because AEW has been going on so long that characters have had developments that blur the line. Mox used to be pure babyface but then he discovered his love of violence above all other considerations due to his friendship with Danielson. Hangman was pure babyface until he helped ftr beat the young bucks because he was so worried about losing the tag titles because it was all he had to make him think he was worth his peers friendship. Osprey is pretty much pure babyface but he's also in a heel group because he's kinda dumb lol.

A Fancy Hat posted:Danhausen becomes Jericho's #1 Fanhausen. It'd play off the Hookhausen stuff nicely and I know he and Jericho have done a lot of stuff together before on the Jericho cruise. They're friends outside of wrestling. They still hang. Punk and Danhausen were spotted sharing a meal over Mania weekend. Let me know if you need more Punk updates. Mr Hootington posted:So it is like watching toonami instead of cartoon cartoon yeah, p much. The women's division sticks pretty close to traditional face/heel dynamics, fwiw. Willow and Stat are pure babyfaces while Julia is a pretty traditional heel.

Jon Moxley is the de facto captain of the Blackpool Combat Club. He hasn't been on AEW tv as much because he's the current top reigning champion in New Japan Pro Wrestling and is fulfilling commitments in that company. Hangman Adam Page is a day one AEW main eventer who just had a double turn with Swerve Strickland last year and has been taking time off since losing in a three way match against Samoa Joe and Swerve at the last PPV where his only goal was to ensure Swerve doesn't Win The Big One, to the point people question if he tapped out to Joe in that match just so Swerve wouldn't get a chance to win.

Mr Hootington posted:I don't know who mox or Hangman are. I don't think they have been on any of the shows I've watched. From Gavok's stickied thread: The Blackpool Combat Club (Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta): Put together by William Regal (who then slipped out of the company the moment Triple H was back in power in WWE), the idea was for Danielson and Moxley to work together to mold the future of wrestling. Then Claudio joined. So far, after all this time, they just have one student in Wheeler Yuta. The team’s alignment changes by the minute, but the main thing to know is that Moxley is the ace of AEW and Danielson is on his way out of wrestling, using his last year to have as many dream matches as possible before he forces himself to hang it up. and Hangman Adam Page: On-and-off-again member of the Elite and adorable cowboy man. Was, for a time, the protagonist of AEW. Now he’s crazy and has a mustache. Gets blamed for CM Punk going insane. Both have had a ton of great matches in aew.

It should be noted that Hangman had never tapped out before this, Swerve had to choke him out with a chain to beat him in a texas death match. Also hangman beat Mox in a texas deathmatch and is the only man to have made Mox tap out by also hanging him with a chain.

graph posted:remember when nick wayne hit a gusher for a taped promo lol I do. I was on vacation with my family and my sister decided her 6 and 8 year old children would be allowed to watch Dynamite with Uncle Sandman for the first time. After the first few segments we paused it to go eat dinner and afterward all the adults decided to join and watch the rest of the wrestling show with us. That’s when the Nick Wayne Gets Murdered segment occurred. The kids haven’t watched wrestling since. Anyway, great Dynamite, can’t wait for Dynasty!

Good luck. I thought it would be too complicated at first too but honestly the hardest part is setting up the accounts. Once it's all set up all I have to do is log into the vpn on my tv and then log into triller - and those stay logged in automatically for me. Easy peasy.

I am torn I would love to see Hook just beat the brakes off Jericho, suplex the poo poo out of him and then choke him out But if Jericho manages to squeak out a win and be a braying jackass about the FTW title, carrying it around in a velvet bag and such, it could be extremely funny

The story so far is Hook is a cool guy who does cool poo poo, and Jericho eats poo poo. So either result would be good.

Jericho as the Ocho was great. So the idea of Jericho acting like he's bigger than the world champ or something with the loving FTW title would be amazing.

Miching Mallecho posted:It's like kids say "...cinema" They’ve done this a couple of times now and it’s such a neat way to come back from a break. They also have a camera on a dolly below the hard cam they use sometimes that gives a really unique shot. It’s level with the ring or so and shot from behind the crowd makes it look like a movie shot rather than a sports shot. Ganso Bomb fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Apr 18, 2024 |
