Expand Yeah, I think that seems like the obvious path. With Kenny going through the men who beat him/people who Cody beat to win the title at Double Or Nothing or All Out 2.

Mad Dog Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 That means we would need Dustin vs. Pac which I would also be down for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Asuka has barely been used all year, and pretty much no one cares anymore. Even PWO can't be bothered to give much of a fuck. Mauro is universally considered good outside of PWO, so you might want to step outside the PWO bubble for a bit. PAC is a "good hand" but he's a lower midcard guy who has never been particularly over, certainly doesn't warrant a major push, and feels like a wasted signing compared to all the better ways that money could've been used.

Expand I was thinking as in Kenny getting his wins back on Jericho and PAC, who Cody also happens to have beaten on PPV by that point but I'm all for more Dustin matches. And really, anyone feuding with Cody should be doing beatdown angles on Dustin in the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoLogic Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 That was my match of the night so far. There were some rough patches for sure, but they sucked me in by the end and got the crowd into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmare007 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Riho with a textbook underdog performance, those last 3 minutes were pretty dope. BTW Tony has been great, his job is basically delivering one liners and he's been killing me every time he sees something that doesn't make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand People already rallied behind Asuka last year and managed to get her a brief push and title reign due to her overness. You can't expect people to do much more when she's just added to the list of squandered talents who're running around in hardcore title segments like complete geeks. You've got a demoralised fan base there. My entire Twitter timeline, I know not exactly representative but wider than PWO, buries Mauro all the time. And I just disagree on PAC. Strong worker, can be a good promo as a heel. He needs time to get an actual push before we can judge how over he can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be a good heel gatekeeper type, but that's his ceiling. Doesn't mean AEW won't force him into a higher spot, but it won't ever work.
