Since it was brought up in the other thread, the 5th labor is MJF himself.

So, extending the benefit of the doubt, what next for Hangman???

Goading Kenny into a match at All-Out since he had to cheat to win the tag match.

Tony, "Hey we're doing shows with crowds and your US Champion is one of our top guys. Are y'all cool with having him defend it on our show? It'll expand your foothold into the states, and once stuff settles down, they'll be back on your shows in front of crowds defending your belt.

New Japan, "uh, very yes?"

Yeah that was the point I was making, in regards to "but why Archer not fight Tanahashi on AEW?"

Britt said she’s bringing in someone else to watch her back. Guesses on this? Kling Kling call up? Legit Leyla joins Team DMD? A way to reintroduce Emi Sakura as not goofy mustache woman?

…the return of Britt’s good friend, the cutest in the world?

Known good friend and not a turncoat Dakota Kai.

Said it before, but I don't think Tony is going to book Punk or Bryan into the title scene immediately. Punk should take up Darby's blunt challenge and work off the rust with a maniac who bumps like a hell. I don't know exactly where Bryan would fit in, maybe going after Kenny after Omega drops the belt, but there's options abound.

Undoing the two-year Hangman storyline right before its obvious climax just to throw a new hire into a belt is some WWE brainworms booking.

it's kind of incredible that AEW casually but explicitly said they have CM Punk and he's showing up in a month and that's not even the main thing everyone is talking about

I personally am in cautious optimism mode just because poo poo can happen between now and then. Honestly, despite AEW being great since they started, there's that funny feelin' due to being burned by WWE before that's hard to shake.

One little thing I noticed (and read from trip reports) is how much utter despair there is in the building when Kenny has someone up for the OWA.

Only one kickout (Ibushi years ago?) and Mox escaped the pin once by setting off the electric barb wire. It is the most protected move I can recall, probably ever.

Fantasy booking to prolong Hangman's ascent by another two months is just mean. All Out may not be their premiere PPV, but it's higher than Full Gear.

Hell, the subtitle to this year's event is "Where Champions Are Made." If you're gonna rib on Hangman for the name Full Gear, use it to be the place where he successfully defends the belt proving he's "ready for full gear."

We all know that Lesnar is Britt's muscle. Now we have to trust Tony to get us there.

Little Caesar kills my immersion because you know he's never actually going to stab anyone with that spear.

Although, Rome Hat could use some backup.

Little Caesar famously not related to stabbing.

So far they haven't established that you can pick.

This. Miro picked the latest challenger for tonight, which I really dig if he's picking credible challengers more frequently than not. Who knows if they'll change that.

Thankfully the TNT title has prestige still in-tact so it's not necessarily a lesser belt in kayfabe, which enables the top 5 folks to chase it.
