DavidB6937 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Depends how either one loses really. A loss doesn't HAVE to be damaging. A guy like Moxley could come out of a loss looking like a super hard bastard taking everything Kenny had and no one will see it as a bad thing. I'd go that way if it were me. It's not an easy scenario to book correctly but it is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane O' Mac Version 2 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) I think Omega needs the win more than Moxley. Moxley has credibility from being a WWE guy to the general casual audience. For anyone deciding to check out AEW because they've heard Jericho, Ambrose etc are on board, all they're going to see is this guy who we're being told is the best, but can't beat the ex-WWE guys. And if you still want Moxley looking strong, maybe he attacks Omega after taking the clean loss. Either way, they need to give Omega a big win because his name means nothing to the wider audience, just the niche audience that watches NJPW and all the indies and are going to be there watching no matter what. An Omega win means expanding the audience, which is what AEW needs right now. Edited June 14, 2019 by Shane O' Mac Version 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Surely Page has got to win? I'm not convinced by him yet but are they really going to have a part timer in his 50s beat two potential top young stars back to back? Especially clean. Especially, especially because Page's introduction would have seen him win a lame battle royal and then lose the proper match. If Jericho is winning then its this match that needs a fuck finish. Page passing out to a leg submission or even better losing because of interference resulting in a Jericho led stable for him to battle would both be a good way for him to lose. The latter would probably be better than a win in that he gets an immediate direction. But presumably they're not going to do that. I'm hoping Omega vs Moxley has some Elite involvement. I'm still at a loss as to why they didn't help Omega at the last PPV. That's the main intrigue to me. I complained last time because it seemed like a huge oversight but I was probably being cynical and there's a yet to be revealed reason. Just hope it's not an Elite civil war. I'm hoping this card has a proper tag team match on it. I know the exhibition style match they had last time had it's fans but if they're going to push the tag division I'm hoping for some proper tag team wrestling. Be interesting to see what Dustin is up too. He was, as most people expected going in, the star of the show last time and you've got to figure they're going to give him something interesting to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted June 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2019 Kenny's pretty good at still looking strong in defeat. That's the story of most of his matches with Okada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted June 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2019 Maybe they'll do a double count-out. Show it still has a place in modern Wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd need something creative to stop it feeling like a wet fart but neither guy particularly has to lose. I don't think they'll risk it because the people in attendance are probably the ones indocrinated by sheet and magazine writers into thinking clean finishes are the be all and end all. Bring back the time limit draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I am fairly sure I remember them announcing time limits before matches at DON so that could be a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Having omega just be deemed the guy and win all the time could bring the cena/reigns reaction once more of the wwe crowd start attending more shows. Having him lose to top guys, show him struggling , then a build back up to a win a year in could tell his story in a less wwe hand picked top guy way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main obstacle to overcome them is your commentators not making it blindingly obvious that it’s going the time limit. Of course there will be some geek in the crowd with a stopwatch like that guy from that ROH gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Factotum Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Yeah Omega can't lose surely? He's their biggest star outside of ex-WWE, and really should be the main man. Would have liked Mox to keep sneak attacking him, building to this match. As someone mentioned though, I'm sure there is a plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted June 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2019 It's screaming out for a double count out brawl with some crazy out of the ring stuff, which I don't think would hurt either man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted June 14, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) I see nothing inherently wrong with Hangman winning the championship. Hot babyface on top fending off challengers fits in with this 'sports presentation' that they're after.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2019 Is it me, or does "Hangman" not sound like a particularly great name for a main event blue-eye? There've been plenty of bad-ass anti-hero faces with cool names, but "Hangman" has never been one I would consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
