Against the grain wrestling opinions

I didn't suggest he wasn't over, I said it helped cement him as an icon.

I think this is against the grain, but maybe I'm wrong. I'd have disagreed with myself on this one just a few months ago, but I've changed my mind. 

AEW should not go head-to-head with Wrestlemania, or plan a big event designed to rival it. They should continue to build up All In, but run it at the usual time, in the States or Canada with an open and public invite to indies to piggyback onto it. Maybe they do something WWE does not and would not, by plugging some of these indie shows - or at least the ones featuring AEW talent - on Dynamite and Collision, really making the event feel like a festival of wrestling. 

According to Fightful, WWE is delaying the announcement of the Wrestlemania dates to make it harder for AEW to do something simultaneously. Let them play chicken with themselves, and hype All In - at its usual time - as being the biggest wrestling event in North America of 2027 and do everything you can to make that a reality.

the thing about Triple H is that his best performances - against Daniel Bryan, against Ronda Rousey, and against Cactus Jack - are when he recognises that his role is to bump and sell and back off and generally be a heel, knowing he's out of his depth and can't win a fair fight. In the build to the Daniel Bryan match, he takes a bump off a baseball slide from Brie Bella that's bigger than anything he ever gave Cena or Orton! A bad wrestler is one thing, but there's nothing more frustrating than seeing the evidence that a wrestler can get it, and constantly chooses not to. Even as a semi-retired authority figure, he still had to make sure everyone knew he was the toughest, coolest, funniest guy in the room.
