Cope/Christian was so goddamn satisfying. Christian has been a textbook-perfect awful heel for months and his title reign ends with his goons handcuffed to the ringposts watching him get kicked in the balls multiple times and ultimately quit/lose because he is a coward. Just incredible catharsis that you don't often get from wrestling due to egos/injuries/bookers missing the peak.

xbilkis posted:I feel like Mercedes/Stat simultaneous heel turns on Willow to form a new unit with Stoke as mouthpiece is the ideal way for things to shake out. Eh, presenting Mercedes as a heel right now is uphill booking that AEW doesn't need.

Tato posted:Hobbs beat Jericho the same way and it launched him to the superstardom he enjoys today Is that Jericho's fault though? TK's the one who didn't follow up fast enough on Hobbs or Starks.

I watched the Danhausen/Cardona match and it was fine. Cardona isn't particularly good once the bell rings either, so it was a lot of character work on both sides but the crowd ate it up. I dunno, Danhausen is fun but at this point his character doesn't easily lend itself to being a guy who does wrestling matches, so it makes sense that the workrate company isn't sure what to do with him if he doesn't want to be a manager.

Mr. Meagles posted:if Danhausen completely leaned into the Homer in a mumu gimmick and gained 250lbs I would have to cheer for him Every wrestler needs to be at least 200 pounds heavier than they are right now.

xbilkis posted:The Danhausen situation "to me" seems like a combination of Tony not really getting Danhausen/caring enough about him to actively come up with plans for him, and Danhausen not being clever/funny/talented enough to carve out a space for himself in the face of the challenges of translating a goofy indies gimmick to weekly TV. Orange also wanted to evolve his character and I'm not sure Danhausen wants that. One would think the easiest solution here is to put Danhausen in matches/low-stakes programs with midcard guys until the audience either gets sick of him or demands more of him, but he might get shoved back down to ROH which is kinda the same thing.

Danhausen should feud with Jeff Jarrett over the Texas Chainsaw Massacre belt.

Defenestrategy posted:edit: Also lol at trying to dunk on Kenny Omega with the theater kid jab, I see you. All wrestlers are theatre kids. Kenny and Danhausen just aren't in denial about it.

Erin M. Fiasco posted:On a totally different subject, it's been a week and I'm still thinking about the Cage/Copeland blowoff Cope has been having so much fun in AEW so far and it's been really great seeing him adjust to AEW's unwalled garden like he has. And I wasn't someone who really bought into his act in WWE, either.

Cope hit him right in the balls. Over and over. Those two old men took some crazy bumps.

projecthalaxy posted:Remember that we got Edge vs Minoru Suzuki on tv lol just like, for fun The look on Cope's face the first time Suzuki hit him justified that booking on its own.

Answers Me posted:Isn’t Danhausen supposed to be a pretty good wrestler who leant into the gimmick because ‘guy who wrestles good’ wasn’t getting him anywhere? He's decent, but this isn't an Orange Cassidy situation by any means.

Alan_Shore posted:BBT rarely drops the ball, but clearly he had no idea what to do with the UK. Going from that massive reaction from the MJF betrayal to... whatever this is. Cole doesn't even get much of a reaction now. I know he's still injured, but after ALL that Devil build up it's been completely underwhelming, and hell I like Roddy, Mr Wardlow and Matt. Taven. I think being asked to buy Roddy/the Kingdom as serious rear end-kicking heels after months of them being hilarious geeks was too much. Roddy can kind of make it work because of how he wrestles but the Kingdom are dweebs.

Alan_Shore posted:I think Taven launching himself through that table really helped though It did but Mike Bennett and at this point Wardlow are geeks, and honestly Adam Cole is kind of a geek too at this point.
