The "let's not take this shyt so seriously" AEW news & fukkery thread

[mannyrs13]

Was reading a twitter post earlier from some guy saying they needed more C2 and Owen type stuff so I was thinking how they need to do one strictly on Collision to determine a challenger for TNT title. I looked thru roster and could easily find 16 guys for that type of thing, mostly all who have been relevant in recent times and not really any major upper card guys nor really any tag team or trios guys. Just a lot of that midcard talent that can give the show an interesting storyline for like a month and a half or so.

Bowens, Castor, Fox, Bailey, Hologram, Knight, Briscoe, Lee Johnson or that white guy he hangs with, Kommander, even DG, guys like that. Give something interesting to Collision.

The original intent of the TNT title was to be a workhorse title like the OG NWA/WCW TV title. It was supposed to be defended every week. Cody was fighting random Indy jobbers to the 20 time limit every week. Somewhere along the way, that belt lost its purpose and is now like the 3rd or 4th important title behind the International & Continental titles.

They should go back to the original intent. Have it defended on Collision every week.

Ricochet need to take it sooner than later. Something just not connecting with Cole rn for me.


I've always preferred him with the bucks vs the undisputed guys. Feels weird for him to be in the same company as them and they never interact at all.

Miro the Redeemer made that title feel super important before he dropped it to Sammy Guevara. Then it got hot potatoed so damn much within a short span of time

I’ve always been a big Adam Cole fan, but he is going to be a long rehab project and I doubt it will ever pay off. I certainly see no realistic scenario where he is ever back to being as hot of a commodity as he was during the height of his story with MJF or when he first came to AEW.

Like dude could have easily been the AEW champion as part of that story with MJF. Can you imagine it now? What a fukking disaster that would be.

Rehab project is a little extreme

I think it'll just take the right turn. Adam Cole has ALWAYS sucked as face BUT his catchphrases and shyt are so good that as soon as you turn him heel he'll still be getting cheered, Probably more.

I think the one ace they always had up their sleeve to play was The Elite vs UE but the time has clearly passed on that.


MJF is more over than ever dealing with the Hurt Business, Maybe Cole need to find him somebody new to befriend and then try to turn on them when the time is right. Mark Briscoe would be perfect with his history with KOR and we saw it kind of work when he was doing the stuff with Planet Jarrett.

What was he screaming again?

Blah blah blah put my family in the poor house

Blah blah blah WCW was the enemy.

Blah blah blah stink could have been a star or some shyt.

Just all around last minute dunkage by the old coot in the gorilla.

MANNNNN when the sirens came on, it was like revelations was heading to the ring .

Hot damn AEW cooked when it cooked.

I'd argue that belt lost its purpose whenever Cody left AEW. Since his dumbass ruled himself out of the AEW title, he made that belt was his project.

I’d have to check the chronology but there’s been some great TV champs since

Christian
Samoa Joe aka King of Television
Miro = GOAT
Edge’s run
And Darby had a great run but I feel like he’s held it 4-5 times so I can’t remember which one.

I only caught Cody’s 3rd run during that hot potatoing era, never witnessed his other runs with it. So from what I got to see, that belt already lost its luster after Miro’s L/before Cody left.

Yeah that rule was stupid. I’m sure if he had turned heel, he would have went back on his word and gone after the World Title

True, but the title had really changed its purpose by then.

Wym? It’s a TV title?

I get you saying it was special to Cody but it wasn’t his. If he wanted his own title he should have made himself one

Dax says we’re cooked so what the fukk does any of this even matter?

I just meant by the time a lot of those guys held the belt, it wasn't the "workhorse" title anymore. As in it was seldom defended on TV.
