literally guffawed at eddie kingston putting his two belts into the mix with the "Continental Title" (Is this distinct from the International One?!?) to be merged in a big tournament that starts soon with barely any participants announced. the belt situation is complete loving parody at this point

Lol at the billionaire booker telling fans to put their money where their mouth is on yet another barely defined tournament with no participants. I’ll take you up on that and save the money, I’m okay missing whatever tournament matches you stick the corpse of Matt Hardy in.

Whomever the participants and whatever the results of this latest useless tournament for nothing, I hope the ending has Jushin Liger come out to congratulate the winner and get brushed off. Should be the new tournament tradition

I bought tickets to Battle of the Belts I and that corrected me from buying AEW tickets moving forward. Didn't even have good t-shirts for sale to cover my mass.

Everyone made fun of them for being a t-shirt company but they’re actually quite bad at it. Danhausen probably just trying to get some god drat merch money with whatever he did.

The belt issue could be fixed by making Battle of the Belts live up to its namesake. Every wrestler with a title competes, only one champion emerges. Crisis of Infinite Belts

I appreciate Jericho is giving off an early alert warning system on folks he wants to feud with and drain the clout from. If you see newsletters start publicizing how Jericho can't wait to "work with you," do everything you can to get yourself in another feud/occupied ASAP. Swerve has been smart enough to avoid him so far but now Jericho is openly calling for the feud and determined to kill that momentum.

The chair thing was stupid but I can live with it because only Jay White used the chair and he ate the pin like the big stupid loser he is.
Couldn't beat MJF after he already wrestled a match and was injured. Can't beat Swerve or Mox after hitting them with chairs. Just a big loser.

100%. The belt stealing feud with Hangman was bad. The Brochachio and Devil stuff is bad. The tag team was kinda fun but then he got hurt and it was time to pivot. Adam Cole is a lovely man but I don’t want him on the main event scene. Keep him home where he’s safe playing video games.

I though Swerve put a nice bow on it saying he was done with losers who never show up, if Keith ever wants a shot at him again he will have to wrestle matches and work his way up to world champion Swerve. Good promo and we know Keith will never do it so the feud is won.

Never should have started the buy one get one poo poo or the heavy discounts close to show date, burned the folks who actually buy tickets early and are excited to attend.

Seems like they've cut that out the last few weeks, but it'll take time to re-build credibility there. Guess you can blame all the bad ticket stuff on old live events person for a few months at least.

I think wrestlers acknowledging and promoing about "I'm gonna finish higher than you in the RANKINGS" is a terrible decision. Yes rankings determine the number one contender, but BEING NUMBER ONE CONTENDER is what they should give a poo poo about, winning the gold and kicking this person's rear end is what they should care about, not "well my math tells me my won-loss record is better than yours, don't you dare try to claim that you, a peon, will finish higher in the rankings than moi." Seems like a desperate attempt by Tony to try to make the rankings matter by having the wrestlers mention them in their promos as if they're important

I'm in favor of wrestlers acknowledging the rankings but only if they go 110%. I need to see guys shoving print-outs of the rankings in other guys faces or whipping out PWI 500 rankings and complaining about stuff

Sasha Banks isn’t a big get in a company that has maybe 5 total women’s wrestlers who have any heat or good matches. If he signed the top 10 free agents in the world perhaps it would generate more buzz and ticket sales. I can’t think of any matches she could have in AEW that would generate any interest. Toni Storm’s character acting is conceptually interesting but she isn’t very good at it and it’s beyond one note by now.

Sasha is gonna get a “what just happened?!” pop, cut a few nasally promos that sound slightly off, maybe have a great match with Athena and then be sitting in catering or doing local morning show promos where she has to explain she isn’t in WWE anymore to the bored hosts for the rest of her AEW contract.

Actually she's going to join the men's division and have sick blood matches with Mox

This one makes me laugh the most because not only does it continue wasting the Bang Bang Gang, but the Undisputed Kingdom are such a pathetic group that no one even really cares about getting revenge on them. The Bang Bang Scissor Gang formed and then went "eh, not worth it"
