AEW Rampage - December 10, 2021

[MoS]

Wouldn't it be funny if it turns out that HOOK is just dogshit 

[Timbo Slice]

How dare you. 

[El-P]

No. Beat him if you can. Survive if he lets you.

Hey, that didn't stop Mike Rotunda from having a 20 year career.

[El-P]

Seriously, he's a rookie. Any judgement passed on him at this point would be ridiculous. How many matches has he even worked yet ?

[MoS]

FTR and Lucha Bros don't always mesh, but they are meshing here

[MoS]

Tully takes an apron bump like a boss

[sek69]

Fenix is just on another plane of existence than the rest of us. 

[MoS]

That 6-woman tag was so much more fun than it had any right to be 

[MoS]

THE MAN IS HERE

[MoS]

Okay, in all seriousness, HOOK looked really good. He didn't have to sell or bump, nor should he have been, but he has his father's intensity and nastiness, but at the same time a good babyface look, what with his Vegeta hair. He is someone to watch out for, no doubt.

[sek69]

TK just sent out the ALL ELITE graphic for Hook already, real recognize real. 

[sek69]

Also between Hook and Jungle Boy, if AEW doesn't start producing those 80s style posters of them then they are just leaving piles of money on the table. 

[PeteF3]

Did Hook just win Rookie of the Year with 3 weeks to go?

[SirEdger]

I don't know but seeing Hook pull off the entire Taz repertoire in one match got me excited. That kid's a stud.

[sek69]

Fightful did a story on Hook and said everyone was raving about him in training, like he was the type who on his first day people were saying he already "got it". 

[Palamedes]

AAA: "We'd like to have that feelgood-moment at Triplemanía Regia for the mexican fans."

Mr. Khan: "No, we'll do that on our B-show a few days later. Luchas lose at Triplemanía."

AAA: "Can we at least have a pinfall-finish?"

Mr. Khan: "No, you only get ladders. And the AEW-champs will pin the AAA-champs on Rampage."

[sek69]

AAA likes having their titles on US TV. It hasn't ever turned into any measurable business for them, but they see it as a win especially since the lawsuit that is keeping them from airing on US TV. 

[Palamedes]

Then AAA should have given the Megacampeonato to Fish or Lethal instead of Vikingo.

[sek69]

Vikingo won because they want to do the money match with Omega when he comes back. 

[Palamedes]

Like Impact wanted the money match with Moose and got a taped loss at Daily's Place.

[sek69]

Omega vs Vikingo was going to be the main event because Kenny requested it,  he really wants the match to happen and there's no reason to believe it won't happen at the next big show after he returns 

AAA has been working with AEW since the start, and they've already had all the EVPs work big shows for them. This isn't a deal like TK working Impact because he wanted to do the belt collector gimmick for Kenny.

Hookamania is running wild brother

[Palamedes]

It seems Omega wanted that big Vikingo match not as much as the one with Adam Page.

His body basically fell apart on him. He barely made it to the Page match since it got pushed back due to Hangman going on paternity leave.  Dude has been working at an insane level since 2016, something was going to give eventually.

Also yes, AEW is his bread and butter so that's going to be the promotion he puts priority on if push comes to shove. The idea that AAA is being played like Impact was just doesn't hold water.
