CavemanLynn Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Bollocks to the lot of yous. Hangman, the guy who only just lost the belt after having a reign which included going 90 minutes with and beating the best in the world, and going from having nerves going into death matches with giants to challenging opponents to them, all while making time to be a father to his newborn kid, is strutting in and battering fools. He's got form, being the winning Joker of the first Casino Battle Royale, and a score to settle to win back the belt and defend AEW from a broken part-timer who couldn't go a week without breaking his hip (kayfabe). He's then having a banger with Mox, but beating him, which'll shit up your accas for assuming this is all to set up a dream match for Jon. And finally he's having a minor classic with Tanahashi and his sawdust knees, but winning after unseen interference from Jay White, a member of Page's old Bullet Club who's already warned that Forbidden Door will be all about Undisputed Elite and the BC.

He seems to have some limitations, including on the mic. He may develop into a more rounded performer, but he’s not there yet, and he’d be at real risk of having his weak points exposed if he’s overpushed. So do I, but I wouldn't want to put him in a position to look bad or foolish just yet, or take a loss. Most ways that he's going to get eliminated are going to hurt him, since he's currently supposed to be a dominant force that runs through people. Maybe try to keep him out of the battle royale by giving him a TNT title shot and having him batter Scorpio instead. They need to be pretty careful to not stall his momentum through a lacklustre elimination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one gets a belt this week Source for.Tana? They didn't say that on the show and certainly the first few tweets etc never mentioned his name. I assumed the fact they didn't mention him meant it probably wasn't him, but I may have missed it since.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still promoting Hangman v. David Finlay for Dynamite. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a one week thing, it’s probably fine, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Wonder how long they contemplated doing a tournament, you know that's what they'd want to do. Instead they've come up with something you'd need a diagram to explain. I don't get what this means for their rankings either. Why doesn't the #2 contender get to fight Moxley? And if its winner of Moxley vs. Winner of Battle Royal challenging a returning Kenny Omega or unsigned Tanahashi then that's seriously fucked. "Well done, you've beaten Moxley and won a battle royal, you now get to fight an unranked wrestler that's done bugger all to get this shot." Even if that unranked wrestler is a heel, that's putting heat on the company for coming up with such a shite idea. What's the cannon reason for that? Tiny Tone was too coked up to come up with a better idea? Fuck it, just have MJF come out and say "I've got photos of Tony Khan snorting coke and I'll release them unless you give me the belt." Then Tony makes MJF face Mox in a death match, Danielson in a submission match, Jeff in a ladder match, Darby in a coffin match, Sting in a baseball bat on a pole match and rinse and repeat until Punk comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poetofthedeed Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Could we have hangman win the battle royal, beat Finlay and then narrowly lose to mix, it's an immediate rebuild for hangman and plays nicely into MJF saying Tony prefers the fed lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very.  He’s been in the Tag Team scene for a good part of the last 2 years now.  Goto hasn’t been up to much so I think they’ve just slotted him in here just so Tanahashi has something to do.

Won most of the secondary titles and the tournaments but never had a run on top.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
