As suggested in the Wrestling Podcast thread, any posts in this thread must be posted from a wrestling is real, in kayfabe perspective.

I have to say, I’m not liking Omega, Jericho, and Ibushi’s chances against Don Callis’ family this weekend. Callis knows everything about Omega and Jericho, and I’m sure he’ll make sure his guys know all of Kenny and Chris’ secrets. I hope Callis gets his comeuppance someday, but I don’t see it happening this weekend.

I don't understand why Don Callis is so intent on ruining Kenny Omega. I thought he was the practical pragmatic type. He already proved Takeshita is better so why keep going down that well.

They agreed to do a cowboy entrance for that elimination match.

Edit: Speaking of Hangman, does the flip on the Buckshot Lariat add more force a la flips on a high flying move, and if so, does it make it stronger than the Rainmaker?

I don't know if I can support this industry anymore. It's a criminal offense to attack someone outside of a sanctioned match. Yet again and again, promotion after promotion. What happened wednesday isn't funny, it isn't cool, it's not poggers, it's a crime.

Danielson submitted Okada with one arm, something only Shinsuke Nakamura has ever done, and he would be world champion right now if AEW would move into this century and have two refs and video review. ZSJ's having a cute little title run beatin' guys who never win anything, but this isn't Ryohei Oiwa, it's the American Dragon, in Seattle. He's toast.

Bryan Danielson just had a broken arm, and as good as he is ZSJ is healthier and can take advantage of his previous injuries. I can see this going his way if Bryan isn't careful.

He made Okada tap with one arm but as good as he is he doesn't have the ground game ZSJ has to take full advantage here.

One caveat, Okada is skilled in those fancy lucha submissions, so he has some ground game.

Also, MJF is totally losing, right?

I never said he doesn’t have a ground game at all but let's be honest it's not on the level of Bryan or ZSJ.

And I hope Hangman and Swerve have a fair fight. We don't need anymore evidence that AEW needs to have instant replays and multiple refs

They let MJF get away with so much I have absolutely no doubt that he can cheat his way through two people.

How they haven't taken that ring away from him yet, I have no idea. Khan's a good promoter, but the dude has about as much control of his locker room as Regal did NXT.

I think no company wants to implement those because wrestling leagues low key want things to go off the rails for buzz. :capitalism:

Besides, you set a precedent like that and it'll bloat match times. Yano matches would last an hour.

Nothing's better than postin' in the morning!



Brian Cage has the mass and raw talent to become world champion but I think he's more shrewd than we give him credit for. By working with Swerve and Nana's faction he guarantees paydays while doing less work. Beat up a few dudes, get wins over talent he's clearly able to outpace, get a cut from the winner's purse. Work smarter, not harder. I think his size also affects other elements of his ringwork; he may be a machine, but nothing can keep chugging forever. At his best he could flatten any current AEW champ. It only takes a three count.

Moxley's washed up, dude. He straight up hasn't been the same since he talked all that poo poo about Punk and then Punk just beat him. Lost to MJF when his own manager betrayed him, got knocked out by Hangman, got choked out by Hangman because he wrapped a chain around his own neck, then went insane and started stabbin' people with screwdrivers. Then he vultured away Orange Cassidy's belt because the dude's body fell apart and he held it for all of twenty minutes before he got knocked out again, this time by somebody half his size. Has this dude had ANY signature wins in like, a year? Ones where he didn't need Don Callis to show up and bail him out?

Moxley and Hangman and a bunch of the guys who were in AEW at the start have all peaked and Swerve sees right through all of them. He's gonna take all their poo poo, starting with Hangman.

Bryan at least knows he's close to the end and is gonna go all out for all the time he has left. There's nobody like him.

The only way Swerve beats Hangman is by using his goons. He isn't strong enough to beat anyone on his own as we've seen time and time again against anyone with a hint of talent or ability

I never knew Rey Fenix to have much killer instinct but man he killed Moxley twice. I have no idea why Knox didn't count the 3 the first time. He should be suspended or fired for that but I bet Tony Khan is the one responsible for it in the first place so that won't happen.

Also about Tony Khan: he has assembled a crew of the worst refs imaginable so his wrestlers can do whatever they want. It's clear he likes cheating and interfering and weapon use. I thought he was supposed to be a wrestling fan.

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

if i were tony khan and starting my own fed, id send TWO refs out there. one to watch the ring, the other to watch out for shenanigans. plus, id do instant replay - so many problems would be fixed with another ref out there and a challenge flag
