Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted October 22 Awards Moderator Share Posted October 22 Now they’ve killed off Danielson and their purpose is a bit clearer, I’m really excited about all the possibilities of the Moxley Combat Club takeover. There’s more than enough good stories to build the company around it for a long while.  *fantasy booking alert  One of the most interesting moments on AEW last week was Orange Cassidy saying “I’m no leader”. That’s been true, especially this year when he was all lost and the Conglomeration found him. But if he stepped up and became a leader? And we get a rematch of that All Out bloodbath from last year? Yes please.  Someone on here suggested Darby Allin doing a Sting in 97, hiding in the rafters, waiting and striking when he’s needed. Darby and Moxley but for the title this time? Yes please.  The Elite feel like a wrinkle at the moment, but they don’t have to be. They can work it into the Combat Club taking over the promotion. Especially if, as suggested in here, Jack Perry defects because he’s a nasty little shit. It sends a message to the Bucks that they’re not as in control as they thought. Tie in Okada losing the Continental Classic to PAC, Claudio or Yuta and you might not turn the Elite babyface, but they might realise they need some help.  So it’s time for returning heroes. Samoa Joe turning up, kicking ass and declaring war? Yes please. Joe, Hook and Shibata getting the Trios Title match the Vortex denied them? Yes please? Joe vs Moxley would be excellent. And if he has to go back to filming, they can kill him off like they did Bryan.  In a way this whole thing feels tailor made for Eddie Kingston to make a heroic return, call Moxley out on his bullshit and fight all four of them. Big main event babyface run for Eddie? Yes please.  “It’s not your company anymore” could easily turn into “it’s not your house anymore”. Swerve has been calling himself the most dangerous man in AEW but that’s not true right now. Swerve vs Moxley? Yes please.  If that happens, maybe they try and kill off Swerve too. Enter Hangman. Maybe he arrives because he’s furious that someone else is trying to kill Swerve. Maybe he sees, through someone else doing it, how low he has sunk. He will always hate Swerve. But… what if Hangman saves him? So begins Adam Page’s journey back to the light. We all cry. Yes please.  Hangman putting the bigger picture ahead of a personal grudge leads to him calling a friend, and we get Kenny Omega making a heroic return too. He can smash up Jack Perry if Perry’s with the Combat Club, but put his Elite problems aside to help Hangman and fight the bigger fight. Omega vs Moxley with a heel Mox? Yes please.  That’s eight ways they could go with this, without even mentioning Adam Copeland, or Christian Cage’s title shot, or Ospreay, or…  I wasn’t sure of the story at first. But now - this could be *great*. Bring it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted October 22 Paid Members Share Posted October 22 Just hold on, lads. We’re almost there. Both Chris and Tony must know it’s time. He’s done everything, wrestled everyone, and hasn’t contributed positively in over a year. It benefits absolutely everyone involved if he goes back to WWE, with a fresh coat of paint and a load of potentially new opponents and directions. Forget Brawl Out. If Tony offers him a new contract that’ll be his lowest point as a promoter.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted October 22 Author Share Posted October 22 If he does go back to WWE he'll have to get on the AJ Styles regime before he gets back on TV. And it'll be amazing watching him do promos about being home and how great it is knowing how he stunk up the other place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted October 22 Paid Members Share Posted October 22 Guaranteed he’s already scheduled the podcast with Punk and Cody. ”We’re kind of the last guys to really go to AEW and back….” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I'm surprised he hasn't wormed his way into the Mox storyline. Yet...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Duke Posted October 23 Paid Members Share Posted October 23 Feel sure I read from SRS or someone in response to this that actually his contract goes until 2026... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make them a tag team. I think it could work for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King of Old School Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 The last people that should be teaming are Swerve and Hangman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Unlikely pairings are a cliche that should probably die, especially don't do it with the two guys who are in the company's most violentv ever blood feud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted October 23 Paid Members Share Posted October 23 I think Swerve and Hangman will and should team together at some point against the Blackpool Combat Club or some other existential threat, but as two members of a 4 or 5 man team fighting for a greater good, rather than just the two of them. I never want to see them as a "can they co-exist?" tag team, but there's something there in a story about whether they can put their hatred for each other second to a higher cause.

Paid Members Chris B Posted October 23 Paid Members Share Posted October 23 I think there's a difference between a randomised pairing, or a 'this is going to be a TAG TEAM MATCH, player!' kind of scenario. The two most bitter enemies coming together for a cause, I can get behind, and I think could be quite exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted October 23 Paid Members Share Posted October 23 As long as it's not any time soon then yeah them teaming up is absolutely a story worth doing. But not for at least 12 months. Hangman's heel character is still fairly new and it's not time for that kind of story yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted October 23 Paid Members Share Posted October 23 As a distant observer, it seems to me that a tag team of Swerve and Hangman should be done in the same way as Dreamer & Raven - only after years of history, when they've gone through the initial provocation, then the violence, then the deepest utter hatred, then the accustomised and natural enemies, then the grudging respect which then becomes part of an ethos they have to team up to protect.

Paid Members Supremo Posted October 23 Paid Members Share Posted October 23 Really cool to have full Dynamite cards announced ahead of time again. The Moxley graphics continue to deliver, too. Give it three or four weeks and they’ll be, “MOXLEY’S GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU ALL!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doog Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Cool to have the cards announced aye, but when it's a card like that, fucking hell, they'd be better of not bothering. Headlined by Jericho, Private Party on the next slot down, Queen jobber/Aminata and a house of black, Fletcher promo that no one wants. Assuming they're doing this to attract more viewers, no ones tuning in seeing that, us lot who like AEW will, and this forum will be positive about what's going on, but nothings changing the dial with that card.
