If Bullet Club Gold is gonna win, then this unified trios title reign needs to be about getting Jay White over. Which is fine. All of the singles titles scenes are clogged up right now, you can use a set of multi-man titles to get over one guy. But good sweet loving lord has the road to get here been painful.

Jay White will pass trios duties on to a returning Juice Robinson, citing Bang Bang Gang rules where any three of them can form the team.

IMO Jay White should win the Continental belt from Okada.

Adam Cole updates sound dire, had to be taken off tv entirely to recover now. Not anywhere close to returning. Feels like with how many injuries he’s had he might be totally cooked. I almost feel bad for MJF because how many storylines did he build that completely imploded due to a guy leaving or disintegrating lol.

I'm convinced they just wanted to get that storyline done with and considering they left it in the dust right away is my evidence. I don't think it'll ever come back up until a good long while. Hell I don't even think Cole will be active whenever MJF returns.

Yeah, they clearly had an end point in mind, and it was a good final visual, and then they wrapped up what they wanted from it - get the title to Joe, get Roddy a title, have Wardlow vs. Joe, keep the Kingdom around - and now it's on the back burner. We got a really good OC/Taven match out of it and Kyle back so it's chill. Just one of those things that ultimately didn't work out like they wanted. Ah well!

at this point they've given wardlow like 100 chances to run with the ball and he's just not main event material. Swerve was given those same chances and look what he did with it. Same with Hangman and MJF. Some people are able to push it to that next level and some arent.

When I say "This makes the Devil storyline even dumber", I mean in the sense of, this terrible story that turned everybody on MJF and tanked the house show business to a point it's yet to recover from, it also had to be done in a way that exacerbated the injury of one of your top stars by making him travel with a cast on constantly. Way to go, guys. Now Cole probably won't be ready for MJF's return. So are we gonna delay MJF's return or have him do some lame filler feud until we can get to the lame blowoff with Cole?

Unless this is all a work and Cole actually is ready to go, I guess.


STING 64 posted:

I think the idea this time is that Cole is abusing Wardlow the same way MJF did, MJF returns, apologizes to Wardlow and makes peace with him, they team up against Undisputed Kingdom?

Which is at least something different. And it's worth noting. The only time in Wardlow's career he was actually interesting is when he was aligned with MJF.

Orton blew out his shoulder punching the mat, something he does in literally every match. Kofimania happened because Ali got hurt on a Garvin Stomp.

when MJF returns I really hope he changes things up. I don't want his long meandering promos. I am really into how AEW is right now and my big fear is he'll bring it back to how it was and it was the only time I've hated something in AEW that lasted longer than a few shows.

MJF could do well to just make lots of amusing asides, and chatter like Kevin Owens, but when he was gunning for the ace position every promo had to be a three course meal.

People were going nuts for wardlow on here and people still dig his powerbomb gimmick. The probably is as soon as he got like a title he was off tv or instantly lost it to something like loving QTV and another missed hobbs push. It's not wardlow it'd the guy who doesn't know how to book him because he's not one of his favorites

People love to say others were being too hard on MJF and that it was really only the Switchblade/Devil leg of his reign that was bad. The Bryan and Pillars stuff was good but by mid summer the storyline with Cole was dragging on for way too loving long, I’d say the second half of that reign was overstaying its welcome. It’s not really a coincidence that the title scene felt way better with Joe, Hangman, and Swerve, a trio of guys with immediacy to their actions. It was a good decision to center the next cycle around three guys are willing to murder each other.

The wardlow squash of MJF was a cool thing and also an extremely stupid thing because when he started chasing him for the belt, you had to suddenly remember that this world champion was hosed up like a geek by this other guy, and they had to just keep the two separated after that. Just another moment where Wardlows push got derailed because he kicked too much rear end. Aside from beating a guy like Claudio or Mox this year idk what else they can do with him but the Kingdom did him no favors,

It’ll never happen but the best way to revive his career would be to have him come out when MJF returns and squash the poo poo out of him yet again in a match lol. He’s supposed to be a crazy strong monster so gently caress it.
