DavidB6937 Posted September 12 Author Share Posted September 12 Arguably it might be something Danielson wants to do before he retires? If so then fuck it, let them do it. Or more likely it's just something Tony wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A massive show like that and they basically fake advertise a title match?  No 1 hour ago, DavidB6937 said: Feels like something WWE would've pulled in the past maybe but as AEW are trying to win audiences - both live and on TV - it would be a bit mad to pull something like that wouldn't it?

Chili Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Fine with them having the match, but I'd have been fucking fuming if they did it All In like people wanted because they wank off to all that lore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted September 12 Paid Members Share Posted September 12 I'm not sure I could love The Outrunners more. Incredible fun act that also looks and wrestles like they could actually do the business. I like Lio Rush, but that coat looked like it weighed more than he did. Hangman. What a character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooner Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Isn't Bryan Danielson retiring at the end of the year? If so, you put him in big, marquee matches and try to make money off him, not put him in with someone who the majority of people don't know, care or who hasn't wrestled in years because they had a feud in some high school gym many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JLM Posted September 12 Paid Members Share Posted September 12 He did win the world title in the main event of their biggest show of the year on pay per view in front of their second biggest audience of all time three weeks ago, if that counts.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with them doing this match, even if the way they announced it was just plain stupid and avoidably weak.

Paid Members Supremo Posted September 12 Paid Members Share Posted September 12 (edited) It’s unfair to act like the McGuinness match is only for the hardcore diehards with  ROH VHS tapes (although that is one hundred per cent the person who booked it). Nigel’s more than put the work in. He’s been running this angle at the desk for at least a full year. The problem is that after teasing it for an eternity they shot their shot in the messiest, weirdest, most abrupt way possible. Something has to have changed. Whole thing felt like a mad, rushed re-write. Even Nigel’s promo seemed cobbled together last minute. He almost made it sound like Oasis were going to play him to the ring live. They better hope not! If they thought paying for, “Final Countdown,” was pricey, wait until Noel and Liam arrive at Arthur Ashe and their dynamic fee suddenly triples! Worst thing of all, about this crazy pivot? I think Danielson vs. Darby would have been a better match than we’re going to get with McGuinness. McGuinness looked good at Wembley, but he didn’t  look that good. You bait and switched the better of the two dream matches! Edited September 12 by Supremo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he may or may not retire. If there's a chance he retires anytime soon, as a company you make money of his name. He can't have many matches left in him with all he has gone through and if he needs neck surgery again. It seems pointless to waste him for this.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Isn't Bryan basically the number two guy in charge? I've heard before that Tony has put an immense amount of trust into him and would have him run things if anything happened so I'd imagine that he has a lot of say in how he goes out, he's Hulk Hogan.

If you don't watch it that's your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
