AEW TV - 9/13 - 9/16 - Bryans Final Countdown Begins

[sek69]

Reposting since some of y'all forget the board doesn't like apostrophes in the thread title 

[sek69]

Toni Storm continues to be golden in this role, I need a skit where we meet her and Juice at home both in full character.

It's still shocking to me that WWE hasn't backed the money truck into Brian Cage's driveway yet. A guy that jacked who can do impressive stuff is the stuff of Vince's dreams. 

[sek69]

Swerve/Hangman sounds like a fun time. WrestleDream looking like another banger show for AEW

[sek69]

Joe remains the scariest looking mf in the business.

They are doing that for Jade already

Cage was signed many moons ago.

[NintendoLogic]

Assuming Cage could pass a wellness test, the problem is that he's a total black hole of charisma. No reason for WWE to pay out the nose for someone whose realistic ceiling is silent muscle for someone like The Miz.

[KawadaSmile]

Him being Miz' muscle could do for a fun three month program, but sustaining that is the hard part. He is very much a tag team guy. Could be a fun Chase U or Alpha Academy member.

I've actually enjoyed Cage's current run a fair bit. Glad he stuck with the LOD/Powers of Pain bootleg look.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL I doubt that his urine would even pass as being from a human.

[Alucard]

I thought Cage was surprisingly effective as a resilient babyface during his time on top in Impact.

Most recently, I thought his team with Big Bill was the best use of him in years.

[sek69]

WWE has ways to make it so the obviously roided up guy they want to push doesn't fail a drug test. 

[The Thread Killer]

I love all you guys, but in my opinion, you have all lost your minds on this issue. Brian Cage sucks and there are basic fundamentals he still can’t execute properly. That hilarious spot from a couple of months ago, where he couldn’t even take a dropkick properly and go over the top rope in the Battle Royal still makes me laugh to this day. He’s terrible.

[C.S.]

WWE completely and wholeheartedly rejected Brian Cage before. He admitted that they called him an average talent to his face.

So, no, he's never going there. They don't want him. Why would they?

For whatever reason, something's missing. He's never been able to put the pieces together.

[Zoo Enthusiast]

He’s also one of those guys who is like 5’10” and looks like a monster in AEW but wouldn’t look like anything special (aside from the muscle mass) in the land of the giants.  Obviously there are many more smaller guys now but not that Cage would really be able to keep up with.  Back when he was in PWG and he was “Mr Get My Shit In” he was pretty fun as a bodybuilder who can do flips and feats of strength but in the big picture he’s not built for being a top guy.

[The Thread Killer]

“Now that we know the crowd can count to 20, that means they can graduate from Penn State.”

 I love Nigel. 

[MoS]

That was a very good match. Starks has come such a long way, really glad they are sticking with pushing him prominently 

[MoS]

Miro tired and wanting nothing to do with his hot and flexible wife is a great bit

Yeah that was a great match. I remember Dax saying on his podcast that people really sleep on what a great Tag Team wrestler Big Bill is…and he’s right. And I’m glad that Danielson picked up where Punk left off in helping build Ricky Starks up and giving him that final push into the main event scene.

[The Thread Killer]

Proof that nobody watched Dark & Elevation, and that nobody watches ROH…The Workhorsemen come out to challenge FTR and the fans chant: “Who are you?”

[The Thread Killer]

Keith Lee has the opposite of charisma.

[The Thread Killer]

It’s been like what…4 years? Give it up. Stop trying to make people care about The Dark Order.

Although, “I googled Scissoring and you guys are doing it wrong” cracked me up.

Disagree, I think he is extremely charismatic, especially in the ring when he is feeling it

I dunno man, I love him in the ring when he’s on, but this whole soft spoken, “Greetings and Salutations” deal just comes across as so…weak to me.
