I don't think either of those are inevitabilities. Ospreay/Okada for example would be loving immense in Wembley, and Mariah/Toni would have a ton of momentum behind it because of how the story has been building. If Hayter is ready to return, she can wrestle Mercedes or Willow, depending on who is TBS Champion. Swerve's opponent depends on a lot of things we just don't know right now - hell, it could be someone like Takeshita, or even a C2 rematch against Moxley. There's a lot of exciting stuff up in the air right now.

I feel like Hangman is a big X factor in a lot of future booking. Does he go after Swerve when he comes back, or does he go after the Elite for suspending him? Hangman vs Okada or Hangman vs Perry would both kick rear end. We know Hangman vs Swerve kicks rear end.

Yeah, I think it makes logical sense that the big UK guy wins the belt in the UK but at the same time, there’s no big rush. There are so many matches and stories you can tell with Ospreay as part of the Callis Family and United Empire that can be told without/before the World Title. And I don’t think it’s a situation like with Swerve where you need to strike while the iron is hot because if Swerve hadn’t won at Dynasty it would have been disastrous for him. There’s still so much to do with Ospreay and the crowd is not going to cool off on him. Mostly I just selfishly want a long Swerve reign before inevitably dropping it to Ospreay. And they can both be faces going into the match; nobody wants to boo either of them so there’s no need to shoehorn Ospreay into a heel toady for Callis.

Women's division is loving cooking right now, when Hayter's back it's going to be on a whole new level. Imagine her and Mariah May just beating the tar out of each other.

(I genuinely think Okada/Ospreay is a better than average bet)

I was reading a review of the show and it really proves how deep the roster is. Think about it. No Kenny, Mox, Hanger, Shida, Britt, the Lucha Bros, Christian, all these huge main event players that have anchored PPVs before and I won't say they weren't missed but they put on an all timer ppv without them with a bunch of folks who weren't in the same position a year ago in some cases. It's cool.

Erin M. Fiasco posted:We've had such good little trios party matches lately. Would love Top Flight to feud with the Bang Bang Gang, and now STP is a trio too, and while Cope is definitely gonna be feuding with HoB and Malakai he would be a fun trios guy in the future if the matches he's been in have been any indicator. There are so many good pieces going right now, let's light it up The trios division should be the insane lucha party match division. Someone teach the rear end Boys how to do flips. Shane Taylor can do big beefy boy stuff with Mortos or whatever they're calling Black Taurus these days.

I would do Ospreay/Swerve at DoN and just have Swerve win. Ospreay then deals with Don Callis and goes on a year long quest to win the title at All In 2025.

I keep thinking about that journalist who asked swerve if he would start doing media appearances now that he's champ and swerve was like I have been for like 2 years. Then the journalist is like ok tony are you going to put it on tv. And I've been thinking about how a lot of wrestling publications online have taken a harder stance against AEW. Not only is aew doing the thing you asked them they aren't but it apparently isn't good enough? Why would I care about media appearances being on the show?

If you've had AEW in your area you know they do a ton of charity work and local appearances when they show up. I dunno if this guy wanted them to air that on Dynamite every week or what, it was really odd. A Fancy Hat fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Apr 23, 2024 |

I think there is a perception online that aew doesn't do outreach and they don't even think to actually look it up. To them if it isn't featured on the show it didnt happen

People whined for months that WWE didn't air footage of Bryan Danielson at the Giants World Series parade. You don't need to show everything but I liked when WCW would show the fun crossover stuff even at poo poo I didn't care about like Nascar. Wrestlers being wrestlers in society is kind of fun.

Eat My Fuc posted:Worked for the GOAT Babyface Cody Rhodes No it didn't. Cody lost... and just kept being booked as if he'd won, wrestling top guys in main event matches with Lesnar et al. That's not the same as 'lose and work your way back up the card'. But even that aside, at some point, you can't keep chasing the 'perfect' peak to pull the trigger, because more often than not, you've already missed it, or you won't know it until you do pull it and the pop is bigger than expected. Sometimes you just have to actually do the thing. Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Apr 23, 2024 |

The story is Will beat the piss out of Bryan so bad he started crying. The story has to be that Bryan somehow betters himself to take on and beat Will. I'd personally have had Bryan win so that Will has a mountain to climb, maybe eventually putting Bryan into semi-retirement. BUT I'll not judge the story yet, it was probably the greatest match ever.

I don't think that's the Ospreay/Danielson story. I'm not sure Bryan has the time (or the possible opponents) for a hero's journey mountain to climb. It's the younger man trying to work out how rude a dude he is, and probably that it's not very nice to break someone's neck and then hit it very hard with your elbow.

Ospreay's gonna hit the Tiger Driver in the second match, be absolutely distraught with doing it, hesitating long enough that when he goes for the Hidden Blade, Bryan counters into the LeBell Lock or Cattle Mutiliation and wins. I think you can absolutely have this play out over 2 or 3 matches, even if one of them is Bryan as a part-timer (I'm also half expecting Bryan to pull a Mark Henry, to be fair.)

the all time GOAT babyface story of enter the royal rumble at 30 heroically kick a guy in the balls to win a title shot lose the title shot spend a year spinning wheels until the next time win the rumble again (idk what happened, didn't watch) tell the rock he could have the title shot instead actually no I lied finally eventually get to wrestlemania where a bunch of more popular old guys save the day so Cody can get the belt his daddy didn't have a bunch of slimy middle managers for the rape company come out and Cody kisses all of their rings wow throw a limp bizkit track on there and you've got a Cinematic Classic e like for real what is the through line besides "i want this belt my daddy never had!" and why should I care
