2024 Pro Wrestling Thread

Precisely. I mentioned before -- he should be in the Dustin Rhodes role.

Hook losing to Joe (and even Jack Perry) was different. Nothing good comes out of this.

 

Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum, Ospreay/Danielson is getting praise as "God tier" and one of the best matches of all time.

Remember a time when FTR vs. Bucks as a cooldown match would be a ludicrous idea?

 

Has anyone else besides Big Show in the “Authority” black hole of wwe ever got a please retire chant? I can’t think of any

 

Jack Perry back and aligned with the Bucks? SHOCKED, I tells ya!

 

This new Learning Tree Jericho is all a rib of CM Punk.

 

Ospreay/Danielson was amazing. Worthy of all the stars.

 

That was a damn fine PPV for a company that constantly gets buried.

 

The dominant Samoan champ loses to the plucky, undersized challenger? AEW ripping off WWE's ideas again.

But seriously, I'll be curious to see Swerve run with the belt. He's become over huge over the last near year. Just as long as we don't get Swerve/Hangman: Part 67 right off the bat.

If they go with those silly rankings, the first challengers would be Orange and Ospreay.

 

Guessing the plan would be to crown Osprey in London so the next few PPVs can be matches that finish Bruv’s full face turn and let Swerve amass some wins vs whomever, Hangman etc

 

I seem to recall reading somewhere that Alberto Del Rio, er, El Patron got the chant at some independent show when the Saraya allegations were in the news.

 

AEW has always done PPVs well, because they do matches well. They let these guys do their thing in the ring, and most of them are talented enough to put on bangers. Then they fill and stack the cards so much that the six out of 10 matches on it that are good to great overshadow anything that might be average or a clunker.
It's in between, doing the weekly TV grind and keeping people invested in stories, where they seem to fall flat.

 

That's a bummer. I actually thought Von had shown progress when they started letting him show his true story and some personality with Robert Stone, but I guess WWE thought he plateaued.
