GarethRDR Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Don't know what popped me harder... RVD or the Shida win! Have no idea when Hayter's back but if they can keep the belt on Shida until at least then, they beat the absolute piss out of each other last time.

I think my order of preference for the outcome: Against all convention, there's no turn by either party, they wrestle a largely fair contest and do the world's most unlikely mutual respect spot after. This keeps the belt on MJF where it should be staying anyway, and Cole can move on to whatever the Roddy Strong part of the story is going to be. Cole turns on MJF, as a means to push MJF even deeper into full-on bastard that somehow still garners sympathy. Problem there is I don't know how you do that without Cole taking the title as well, as full-on bastard MJF ultimately won't care about betrayal as long as he's still got the belt. MJF turns on Cole, pulls out his usual schtick for the win. The safe but kinda boring option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like when omega 1st went heel it was so confusing and wierd. Its so poorly done. The same with the BCC. If it was me booking i would have had cole turn on MJF on collison then have him having a confrontation with FTR then bulket club gold attacks FTR. Taht would have setup a mini pinnacle vs bullet club feud. That would have been a exciting ending. But yeah khan tends to go for the boring route. I agree long term turn punk heel as he is getting booed now as the hypes died down so much with him now. Only really gets cheered in Chicago now. Set up a mjf vs punk 3 title vs title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh i agree he was a excellent heel but im referring to how they turned him heel with don callis (no one at the time had no idea who he was) The heel turn couls have been executed better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Hmm something ive seen online on dynamite when cole was hugging MJF he did the stab in the back with his hand that he used in wwe on o reilly I think we are going to see a cole heel turn. It would make it more interesting from a storyline point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy7211 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I wouldn't be surprised to see it being a way to excuse part time Roman from TV for a few months. Jimmy v Jey with Solo causing havoc for a while, whilst Roman doesn't show up very often or defend again until Survivor Series in November. The PPV as a whole was awful though, the worst they've done in a long time. Only decent match was Logan Paul v Richochet. Gunther v Drew wouldn't have been bad if we hadn't seen it many times before. And MMA scripted fights don't work. That was a contender for worst match ever. Seth v Finn was let down by the ending, really spoiled it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously cannot believe they did a ppv without matches for lynch, ripley, lashley, edge It was a awful ppv. If i was a betting man all in is going to be a much better ppv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i was a betting man all in is going to be a much better ppv Summerslam is one of the big 4 events. You have all your big stars at it. Ripley and Lynch are two of the biggest stars for them, and not to have them was a mistake. I'd rather have seen them than most of the men who were in the battle royale. You could tell Vince MacMahon had his hands all over this one, it was just a way of shoe horning LA Knight in now they've taken money in the bank off him and also taken him out of the US Title picture.

Yet dont use talent wrestlers like keith lee or kyle o reilly. They are also really poor at starting shows. Its usally the same format every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I think one of the AEW's bigger issues is not talking about injuries. For instance, Kyle O'Reilly is injured and required fusion neck surgery. Bandido broke his wrist two months ago. Bryan Danielson broke his arm at Forbidden Door. Danhausen tore his right pec at AEW Revolution earlier this year. Mark Briscoe is out with a serious knee injury. Marq Quen has a serious undisclosed injury. Thunder Rosa back injury, and only restarted in-ring training on July 28th. That's just the injuries I know about and there are likely more which isn't ideal if a fan watching at home is hoping to see Bandido, but Bandido is at home healing up. I also think AEW are struggling to navigate having three TV shows. They have Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision. Some of the wrestlers that fans are missing have been on TV, but maybe not the show they watch. Keith Lee has been on Rampage the last few weeks. The Hardys have been on Rampage. Kip Sabian is on Rampage. The Butcher and the Blade have been on Rampage recently. AEW are still a young company and I think they're still navigating how to rotate wrestlers between the three weekly shows that they have. Of course, there are some wrestlers that will always be on Dynamite or Collision because they are mid-card/main-event level talents, but some of the lower-card talents are getting lost in the shuffle by being on Rampage and only Rampage.
