Seemed very awkward It feels like Jurassic Express winning was a last second decision after Fenix broke his arm, based an the people standing on the ramp and the awkward came shots. It seemed to me like signalling the start of a new era, with contenders eyes the young team. That's what they were selling on commentary too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loss Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Feels like there are lots of options, but I'm curious. What's next for Bryan Danielson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted January 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 He is probably going to wrestle Danny Garcia soon once that program wraps up shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted January 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Tony Khan said Fenix is hurt. There was an AEW tweet about it, but it has since been deleted. It's uncanny how this is almost invariably the case. Happened to Rey too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he gets to have the stable he said he wanted to have. One would guess he's not gonna lose for a while so it is interesting to think who might be next.

Phil Schneider Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Regal would make a pretty great JJ Dillon for a Danielson stable. Danielson, Garcia, Thatcher and Busick would be my picks, maybe instead of Thatcher get them a heater like Kal Jak or Denzel Dejournette.

When Danielson was making jokes about Garcia being his son (because that's the Bella's shoot name) I thought for sure he was planting the seeds for something like this.

WWE brainwashed everyone into thinking you don't mention the competition, AEW doesn't pretend the other company's don't exist. Think it's fine and adds to the story they telling, it's going to be a big part of MJF story when his contract up and he's using it to get heat.

Migs Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 I have Danielson-Hangman second all-time in terms of matches I was live at, ahead of Danielson-Omega. (#1 is Cody-Dustin.) Just a classic. Really paid off Danielson establishing so many finishers, gave the match real drama. Also, Danielson's blade job was perfect, working perfectly as an explanation of why he couldn't always capitalize in the final stretch, or was able to be knocked off by one strong shot. Just a master class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE do it on the rare occasion, but by and large they pretend the competition doesn't exist. I know its 30 years ago, but think how much better Flair could have been booked coming in with the WCW title. Just don't see anything bush league about it, its more stupid to pretend the biggest wrestling company doesn't exist, When AEW they mention every other company out there and work with them too. Think Tony's end game is to do a show with WWE, probably have to wait for Vince to pass on before it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah like someone said earlier, that's how it always seems to work in wrestling.

Bubba, the thing here is that the whole exchange between Punk and MJF doesn't really "endorse" the company or WM. MJF, kayfabe-wise, thinks he's above Punk and AEW as a whole. He's doing them a favor by being there, and he doesn't seem properly valued. Him going to WWE and main-eventing Mania (lololol) would be a middle finger to AEW and to Punk, who never was able to do that. It fits with his whole schtick of "being better than you". When Punk retorts, it just exposes MJF kinda being a fraud. Main eventing night four and then quickly being released means he ain't shit, not to his eyes, nor to the eyes of the company he wants to go just to spite AEW. It works.

MoS Posted January 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Per Bryan Alvarez, Atlas is scheduled for an MRI and might be okay. Hopefully he is fine. A lot of injuries to start the new year, across promotions. Let's hope it's not a sign lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzalez Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 It looked to me like Fenix should have just tucked his chin and not thrown his left arm out to break his fall. Also Luchasaurus should not have fallen with him. It feels like they wanted to recreate the Archer & Moxley spot from last year. If you remember that had a few tables and Moxley was just thrown off the side of the ring without Lance chasing him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted January 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Yeah he posted with his arm, which while understandably instinctive, is also a rookie mistake. It's really unfortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiva Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 When I saw 7 pages, I feared some kind of bizarre booking decision but thankfully, it wasn't that. Page winning was absolutely the right move but I'm at a loss as to who he works at the PPV. Adam Cole? I'm not sure Jade is ready for a title yet but the booking and the timing of it all probably means she had to. I'm glad AEW has really padded out with some stronger women workers to help her through it as it's definitely there but she's going to need some really smartly laid out matches, especially to hang on PPV. Rosa/Mercedes should absolutely slap though. Brian Pillman JR is unfortunate because I can fully understand why they'd want to push him and want to feature him but Garrison is the standout of that team and the experiment with trying to push them further up the card needs to be shelved; they're solid as fiery undercard babyfaces. Fenix's injury was grisly, christ. I hope that's not as bad as it looked and I'd have been down for Death Triangle vs The House of Black but that looks like it's on the backburner. Unless they do an angle with Penta brings in somebody to team with in his absence. Glad for Jungle Boy, it was the big win that he's needed and I'm looking forward to Lucha Express vs. 2.0, especially. I think that could be good stuff but wouldn't surprise me if we got Santana and Ortiz as the first main challengers, that seems like it could be good fun. A weird, uneven show that they're often capable of but I thought it set up a lot of future stuff really nicely, except for, strangely enough, their top title. Also, the idea of Danielson leading a stable of shooters is fucking great but I'll easily settle for Regal as his second and a long TNT title run where he crafts 10-15 minute Rampage main events against whoever he fancies every week.

I have this hunch more was supposed to happen last night but stuff got screwed up because of where we're at with COVID. Like, Mox is going to come back in two weeks and Meltz is going to be like, "oh, yeah, he was gonna come back in Newark but got COVID."
