[@Juicelee777ssj]

The AEW civil war between guys like Kenny and the elite versus people like wardlow punk and a couple of ring of honor or WWE guys would probably be the best storyline that you can make. To add the cherry on top if you threw in MJF as a kind of go-between where you don't really know who side he's on because he's a homegrown talent that hates WWE guys but also hates a lot of the dudes in aew. It's a very very interesting storyline that has roots in the real world and could be shaped to be compelling TV.

@@SavitTheGoalie lol no unlike Sting we would actually get a payoff and We get a fair share of double crosses that MJF could do. Plus you get some really good promos. The problem with sting aside from not getting the payoff was it was very established that he was going after Hogan. There were only a couple of weeks of mystery where he just hung out in the rafters and didn't say anything. With this you have two factions that he can play against and laugh as they destroy each other.

[@vspecmaster]

Ite crazy to see how this all turned out

[@Guy4318]

Keith Lee dedicated his tag title win to a friend fighting cancer. Dax told us all why it’s a powerful statement to, “Fight like an 8-year old girl.” Omega basically said he and the Bucks have to clean up after us because who else is gonna love them. It’s simultaneously pathetic and insulting. I seriously wonder how worse their impact on viewership would have been if this got onto the program.

[@Smokey1419]

Plus the bucks saying " you booed us all year, dont cheer now" sounds like an angry 8th grader who cant let shit go

[@Guy4318]

@@Smokey1419 And there’s an interesting distinction between the Bucks saying that and Punk’s “am I lying” bits from the show start promo. The Bucks were essentially telling the crowd to react how they want them to react. Punk was daring anyone to challenge him with their truth. Like, even if Punk’s wrong, I’m sure there are people out there who would pay to see someone try to shut him up. The Bucks can’t even get the good heat for themselves because they have to dictate exactly how the crowd responds to them.

[@Mrderful]

Facts. I was there when Lee cut the prAomo at Fyter Fest and EVERYONE stood up and popped. He kept everyone's attention because it was something REAL and RELATABLE. Kenny cut that promo just to put himself over.

What no one is talking about amidst all the Punk/Page backstage schizm is how Kenny basically came out and cut a promo defending he and the Bucks' roles in the company. Which all but confirms to me that he's well aware how the fans are starting to perceive them as well as some of their own talent.

[@matthewhostetter8974]

I'm sure Uncle Dave was crying and went through his entire box of tissues during the match and this speech, and the tissues were not to wipe his tears. If Omega was a serious "wrestler" and really cared about the business and all the pain and rehab he would have told Tony, that he wasn't doing this match tonight. The problem is we know that is bullshit because he's a mark for himself. He wants the star ratings, he wants the attention, he wanted to come out injured so the fans could cheer him like they did Cody at Hell in the Cell. Tony and the Bucks pushed him to do it because they didn't get that moment and they need it, they need the attention. All any of this did was make Omega look like a fool, nearly injured himself, Dragon Lee, and even possibly some members of the audience. If Tony was a smart intelligent booker, he have had the Bucks have a third partner like Cutlet, or hell knowing the Bucks have them do the Trios tournament on their own until the Finals. I mean we know they are winning anyway. Then before the Finals, have Cultet get injured, and announce they'd have a special partner. Then you have Omega return. It would have given him a couple extra weeks to heal up... if he wants to take this business seriously and they could have sold more tickets to the PPV. Instead, this was another predictable, throw-away Elite match on TV that LOST ratings.

Bryan is a literal doormat who fits the "just happy to be there" cliche to a t.

Not only was I at the AEW show in Charleston, but my girlfriend and I sat next to Tony Khan’s charter pilots. We had a pretty steady conversation with one of the pilots for the duration of Dynamite, who was obviously inebriated. Not only did he tell us about his experiences chartering flights for Jericho, who he called a “douchebag,” but he showed us his flight list - which spoiled Omega’s reveal for us. Two things resonated with me, from our conversation: 1. He mentioned how much Kenny Omega talks about his cat. So, when Kenny likened the us all to cats, the pilot couldn’t stop laughing. 2. He said CM Punk was one of the nicest wrestlers he’s ever met and was very excited to be in Charleston - which is quite different from how the dirt sheets have painted him.

[@DudeinGA]

From watching the promo (if it can be called that) and hearing Jim Cornette's reaction, I couldn't help but think "Kenny Omega doesn't need to be in a wrestling ring or even wrestling" if he's having to do four sessions of physical rehab daily. If Kenny Omega cares about AEW (like he is claiming to do with 'leaving a legacy'), then he wouldn't wrestle and would work on fixing what's falling apart in AEW. Right now, at the rate things are going, 2024 will be the last year AEW will be around or even a viable "Number Two" promotion to WWE. WWE is starting to fix what's broken within the last several weeks (funny how Vince McMahon not being involved in creative does wonders) and it wouldn't shock me if a lot of the ex-WWE guys on AEW eventually go back to WWE (like Malakai Black, Miro, Andrade, even Keith Lee or Swerve Strickland) or "AEW homegrown" (like MJF and maybe Darby Allin) go to WWE.

[@alexanderbakulin8836]

I've watched the last Smackdown, and i don't see how WWE is fixing anything. It became even worse than i remember. There were 3 wrestling matches on the show, two of them were women's matches (with some random girls from NXT), another match was a 5 men clusterf-ck (with Sami Zayn, Baron Corbin and other goofs). The main event match of the program was Liv Morgan vs. some girl with a green hair, it's beyond ridiculous. The problem with WWE is that they have very little wresting on the wrestling show, there's mostly bad promos and horrible angles. I hate AEW, but AEW got a lot better weekly shows, at least there's some wrestling in it. Although, i prefer WWE PPV's
