They should use this as like the trailer for stuff they are going to do every week in the lead up. Have legends and current wrestlers talking about the importance of it, have younger talents who weren't wrestling yet or just getting into it what those matches meant to them, have notable people in management and outside the companies (someone like Dave Meltzer but not Dave, for example) talk about what these matches meant for wrestling, find celebrities that are willing to talk about it, etc.

Probably 3-5 years away from younger wrestlers saying those matches made them want to be pro wrestlers.

Yeah after looking over the roster bios on Wikipedia you're right. Even a lot of these younger ones on the roster been in the game for damn near a decade if not more at this point. Didn't know a lot of them had been around that long. Most of them started seemingly as soon as they were done with HS if not earlier.

Nick Wayne one of the few that started their career after the first Okada-Omega match and he's 19 :dead: and this roster certainly isn't lacking in young talent.

What if instead of main eventing Toni and Mercedes make history another way, open the show in a 60-minute draw, i don't think that ever happened in America, two women going this long.

That way Mercedes remains undefeated but doesn't win the world title and she doesn't get to hold the two women's titles which would be a problem for the division.

(Edit : it happened two times but not in a big US promotion and never a 60-minute draw : 10 Longest Women's Singles Matches In Wrestling History )

Problems...

1 Hour is a long fukking time.
2 People fukking hate draws!
3 It would be anticlimactic after Mone does all this only to NOT win.
4 What about the TBS Title. These other girls need a prize to run for.

I think it's setting up for Mercedes to have all these titles but the AEW World Title being the one that escapes her. For now.
Yeah i think it's a good story for her to fail a few times at winning the big one and finally doing it as a babyface with the fans support down the line.

If this is true then maybe it means Toni is winning cause Mercedes wasn't supposed to challenge for the world title in the original plans. Or maybe they do the Athena rematch for the world title.

Also get Athena on the card please, maybe do a Women's Casino Gauntlet to put her, Willow, Kris, Bayne, Thekla, Jamie, Aminata, Mina... on the card since the Women's Tag Team titles don't seem to be coming in time for the show.
