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

[Jmare007]

I think it's more likely Darby (and Swerve) show up at some point and help Hangman even the odds and that's also what I'd prefer to see. Darby could still have a feud with Mox that doesn't involve the title.

Yeah, from what I've been seeing it kinda points to every (or almost every) wrestler that got screwed by Mox to show up and even the odds for Hangman. With Swerve being the last one.

There is a slight chance of Swerve costing Page the match but I feel that's too much a WWE ending for TK to go for it.

Vince used to send fans home happy all the time until he lost his fukking mind. But I think he was usually right in doing so. It's one of the biggest shows of the year, no real point in not having the happy ending. TK runs the risk of really pissing people off if Mox retains on that show.

Hasn't the story of the Death Raiders gone way past Darby at this point? Isn't he more of chapter in the angle more than a main theme?

I know there aren't a lot of heels at the ready for Hangman to feud with once he gets the Tiltle, but the same can be said for whenever Darby would win it too

I hnoestly see no rationale for going with Darby right now besides being stubborn about a plan that (in hindsight) changed like 8 months ago

Tony is booking for himself & himself only he wants Darby to be World Champion that’s why he has held off on him vs Mox

Hangman is just there because he needs a big match at All In nothing more

Yeah, and TK very rarely closes Big/important shows with unhappy endings. This Mox run is by far the longest streak of playing with the fanbase's patience. Turning Swerve to go back to a feud they don't need to revive right now and keep delaying a title change would be really fukking stupid.

Hangman got the juice right now. Crowd seems to be really fukkin with him again and the promo he did in Spanish had even people in CMLL raving about it and wanting him to come back for more events and shyt

Yeah this whole angle felt like it was just waiting for Darby to swoop in and save the day, which is ridiculous cause it’s fukking Darby Allen of all people

Just like Triple H, TK has his favorites I guess

Was thinking earlier & had some thoughts on All In. Of course there is plenty of discussion regarding the death riders storyline & how it has affected things for the length of Mox reign. I know many want it to end, of course not like it's been a complete disaster.

And I also know some say that the title should or will go to Darby, or that Hangman needs to win.

But what if they go in a completely opposite direction? Wonder what the reaction would be like. Not saying like Mox retaining but Hangman nor Darbyv walking out as champ. We don't know who else is in the gauntlet match & it would have to be either a face or a heel, depending if either Mox or Hangman wins & they do something after the match. Well actually a heel is more likely to do it during the match like Christian.

But we do know MJF is in the match. What would be the odds & overall sentiment if after Hangman wins the title after a long fought Texas Deathmatch that MJF cashes in if he wins the gauntlet, or any other potential winner?

Does TK have the balls to give one of his big face wrestlers a huge moment with a title win just to have it taken away moments after? What impact could that have on the shows & overall going forward? Is there even another face they could use that isn't Darby for a shocking tittle win? Guess we will have to wait and see but that thought crossed my mind. Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.

The only option if AEW wants to avoid a revolt is Hangman walking out champ

It's not about having the balls to do it. It's about not being dumb and overthinking a simple solution.

Making a heel do the MITB gimmick wont make that heel bigger (the heat will last 1-2 weeks), it will just make fans mad at the company. It's the 2010's failed Vince formula (and boy did he try to make it work). Getting the fans mad at the promotion is not good heat and does not lead to drawing.


Making a face cash in really depends on how beloved is the wrestler that becomes champ. It might save you from the live audience completely shytting on the finish and saves you an embarrasing ending to the PPV. But whoever they choose, he wont be a better option than Hangman.

Hanger is the main character, no amount of fukkery can make him losing at All In acceptable to anyone, imo.

Was also thinking, not of a storyline idea, but what if they had a small weekly recap show every week. Like a YouTube thing. Unless one exists and I wasn't familiar with it. Like a half hour or at least 15 minute thing but preferably half hour where they can highlight key moments from previous Dynamite and Collision.

Can help keep those that miss a show in the loop and be like a refresher. Maybe Renee & RJ can host it or someone else. Kind of like that Raw Talk or whatever it's called but for both shows combined.

Not quite the same thing but they like within the last month started putting on YouTube a weekly top 10 moments or something like that and the moments are chosen based on social media engagement.
