I miss Christian's long hair and vertical sunglasses, so there are some notable features he's changed along the way.

Hobbs' story about saving up his allowance to buy those sunglasses Christian wore only to get in huge trouble with his grandparents for wasting his money was so great.

I really wish CIMA was still able to work America so he could do a match with Christian where they both wear those sunglasses

They did a mask spot a few weeks ago where Penta had his mask torn off.

He had another one on underneath. :miedo:

I really hate "beat the champ to get a shot at the champ" as a stipulation. That might be WWE-brain slipping in, but maybe not.

i feel like it's just implying the obvious, the only alternative really is that The Young Bucks can't / don't have non-title matches. But if they do, and they lose one, then obviously that team that beat them should get a title shot.

yea ok

it's hated in WWE because it's not so much a stipulation, but a foregone conclusion that the champion will lose a non title match to set up a title match, but only sometimes, and even then maybe not. in AEW it's not done every single week and the majority of the time the champs win anyways.

you can hate on the rankings system all you want, but it does its job in being an explanation for why eddie and penta have to 'prove themselves' or w/e you wanna say, compared to the varsity blondes, who despite being lower on the card were allowed a straight up title shot due to being #1 on the rankings from beating up jobber teams for 8 weeks straight on the youtube show.

It's also often used for heel heat in AEW because it's making you have to win a 20 minute TV match to fight a championship match. Has a challenge won this stipulation in AEW yet?

If you have conclusively proven that you have what it takes to beat the champ then why shouldn't you get a title shot?

It’s kind of lazy booking and best used sparingly, and that’s what AEW is doing so it’s not really a big deal.

Man, it was cool of Tony Khan to put a title match on tonight's episode of Dark Elevation.

I don't think they've pulled the trigger on "beat the champs to get a title shot" even a single time, actually.

The only time I remember it happening is when Scorpio Sky pinned Jericho in a tag title match, but that wasn't an eliminator match setting like the ones we're discussing.

That ruled so much. It was right off Full Gear, Jericho was completely full of himself and was like "We're gonna take the tag titles too, bitch, how about that!" and it for all the world just looked like they were just gonna pin Sammy but instead Jericho takes his first pin in the company, outta nowhere, to Scorpio Sky.

Too bad Scorpio completely flopped as a babyface after that. :(
