this, of course, is why the Overdrive should come back as a wristlock takedown https://twitter.com/kiddbanditpro/status/1519922130711826432

some of those would probably be fine matches if they ever had a chance of actually happening + it was done by the people who usually agent aew matches

I am on mobile though so idk if any of those are particularly egregious

turn it all around

I like how there are some pretty cool match ideas with logical reasons behind them, then there's just "Takeshita and Shinsuke because Japanese", "Joe and Solo because Samoan", and Jericho/Drew, Darby/Braun. Everything else would probably rip except Mox/Lesnar unless Lesnar was actually interested in having a fun, cool match.

Yes. There are some good ideas in that Tweet but the one that bothers me is sticking Hangman in this Bullet Club 4 way when you can just swap out Kenny for Hangman and still have a good card.

Dunno why so many people are interested in seeing Roman gum up a Kenny match. Kenny has a half dozen other matches with WWE people I'd rather see before that.

It's not a BAD card it's just most of the matches are zero effort 'this is logically the first thing that comes to mind' type things.

imo it seems unfair to Mox that once again the quality of his match would hinge on whether Brock Lesnar decides to lace up his give-a-hoot boots

In this hypothetical world where other companies could be acknowledged, there's actually a good story you could tell between Takeshita and Shinsuke

Chinsuke Nakamura (the Shinsuke impersonator in DDT) beat Takeshita to win the Iron Man Heavymetalweight title in 2019 and then they never interacted again. Just say that he took all this time and effort working his way up across the card, across companies, to earn his right at revenge against Chinsuke, and keep the comedy angle of it going by having him not know this is Shinsuke not Chinsuke

I agree, but I do find myself questioning the optics of some of the match-ups, including those that didn't make the cut, when they seem to be selected based on racial lines.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

On the contrary

Big Daddy is not in the hall of fame because he hated kids and would never touch them.

And I believe it's been pointed out before that TNA was popular in the UK cause it was on a free channel? WWE you had to pay to get the channels that had Raw & Smackdown.

Aye it was on freeview and WWE is on the higher tier of Sky that got you Sky Sports at the time. Like how during the Attitude Era WWF was bigger because you'd have to see it on Channel 4 and you had to pay extra to see Channel 5 and Channel 5 was viewed as poo poo.
