The only silver lining is that at least in Forbidden Door season half of the talent can come from other companies.

If they gonna rely heavier on outside talent then they'll have to feature them on Dynamite as much as possible to build interest and get fans familiar with those people. They should also have some of those outsiders in matches on the dynamite in Glasgow or wherever the hell it is, if they can't fit them into FD.

All In's on ITV for free right now here in the UK - they didn't start until 9pm so with ads it's gonna run to nearly 4am :damn:

They've got a few stories that they can push further up the billing if they need - women's division can carry a lot more load than it currently does too.

Toni/Athena obviously
What Mercedes does next
Willow/Stat needs some resolution
Thekla/Aminata can go as long as they want
Julia/Skye/Thekla spooky shenanigans
Megan/Penelope, TayJay and others all active.

Swerve and Okada both healthy and getting into it.

Syndicate eating.

Cope and Christian finding their way back. FTR heeling with the best.

Darby mountain fresh, Kyle ready for an ascension while Will"s away. Hobbs staying fit and proven main eventer now.

Briscoe is made out of fukking indestructible rubber.

Hechicero, Mortos, Hologram holding down the Lucha side.

Thank God Tony likes collecting toys.

Looks worse on paper, but most of them have been out for months while AEW has been doing the best shows in 2-3 years.
agreed. But, now guys like Bruv, Takeshyta, Omega, and Joe thats some solid guys that I feel we've been seeing a lot during this last string of shows leading up to All In.

Joe is still great but he's in a trios and I'd like to see more out of Hobbs moving forward anyway. Omega had already transitioned into an attraction performer. I knew Okada would likely win their match because Omega wasn't going to be defending titles like that.

Ospreay being out sucks especially if he misses the London show but they just got Darby back who was not around for the 'ALL IN' build.
