Hangman losing, Stu bonking his head, Cash trying to use his radius as a weapon all sucked. I'm just about tired of the Elite and not in a worked way.

MDK ALL DAY and booing Cody were objectively good things.

I liked the Gage/Jericho match because it was way more interesting than 99% of Jericho matches, and I'm happy for Gage getting to do his thing on network TV. Plus the pizza cutter PIP with the Dominos ad was hilarious.

That crowd was HOT for Dark Order. After the loss, it didn't really seem like "oh next week, we'll figure out a way to claw back from this" it just kind of happened and the show moved on. If they go into Christian vs Kenny now I think that would be a disappointment for some people.

edit: VVV I missed that because my kid wouldn't stop asking where Boom Boom was

I don't mind being worked because it means I'm invested I guess. Here I am 4 hours later bummed out that Hangman lost, and if that's how Tony wants me to feel to make his coronation even better, he succeeded. Don't hurt me, Tony.

The easiest way to divert Hangman is to run Hangman vs Matt Jackson at All Out. There's no way fans would cool on him if he finally put that piece of poo poo in his place

This would be incredibly great. Is Hangman going to beat some sense into the young bucks, as the Elite slowly crumbles?

That's a good take on why you would slow down Page's coronation, a few posts back.

I still think it's all a big work - use the loss to gauge how hot the crowd is, and set up what looks like a match between Kenny/Christian. Instead of skulking and drinking, DO gives a pep talk, and Page goes on a tear. Two weeks before All Out have Page challenge Christian. One week before, have Page win and get the match against Kenny.

Yes, I am fantasy booking because Page is awesome and AEW has me emotionally invested.

Saying you're not going to watch the PPV or that Hangman is dead are bad hyperbole, but it's actually awesome to that people are disappointed and fantasy booking this poo poo because it means that people are invested in a good story and good characters.

Also, I'm cool with AEW taking more cheap shots at WWE now because it's obviously getting under Vince's skin.

I don’t think it will be Christian at All Out, but I can’t imagine him not getting a heel reaction and Kenny getting a face reaction if so. I’m going to watch either way for Darby and whatever Britt does. I imagine we will finally get some match announcements Wed.

I still think we're being worked re: Hangman, and even though I :toxx:'d it and have been joking about it, Christian/Kenny would not be the drizzling shits. It's at least conceivable they could pull off a 5-star match.

But it would mean I'd go from cheering against Kenny to cheering for Kenny, which is not the direction Tony seems to want to go there, so I have no idea?

I meant we're being worked that Hangman won't be at All Out, when this week we could find out that there's still a chance but he has to overcome some great odds.

The Board is really similar to SA except for tolerated chud posting by 1/20th of the members and worse gimmick accounts, right down to still talking poo poo about Rovert. Someone go check if they're on the Kidd Bandit train yet.

So like, dark is not live. They've known in AEW that max was gonna say that for six days.

I honestly didn't get the duke lacrosse joke until someone called it out here. The Simone Biles one is merely tasteless until you know all the context - which I doubt the majority of people do.

So I can see how it slipped by, but he obviously needs someone watching him at this point.

Vindication for those of us that found his interactions with MJF to be a little much, I suppose.

It was all over the US news last week and it brought out a ton of lovely opinions about mental health and attacks on Simone herself.

I think most people's understanding is that the Olympics are stressful and she noped out. Having lovely opinions on mental health and attacking people personally are still relatively acceptable in society, unfortunately.

I was implying it's even worse than that if the sexual assault poo poo is related to her mental health.

I legit wondered "who the gently caress is Duke LaCross - some SoundCloud rapper or something?" because while I remember that famous case, it never crossed my mind that anyone would be dumb enough to make a rape joke, in front of an audience, in 2021, for a 15 year old event.

But I guess Max is dumb enough.

I'm American and I still didn't make the Nassar/Biles connection. I thought it was just par for the course "being lovely about mental health" and she was just stressed about having the Olympic spotlight on her.
