Re: AEW Discussion Thread

Marty Scurll is a popular name being speculated as at least one of them and PAC another. Marty because apparently his contract with ROH is up right before this show.

Nobody really knows Marty's ROH end date. I've heard everything from the beginning of this year (like after Mania I think) until after Final Battle.

Also I've LAX is NXT (which I'd like, just like I wanted the Usos to bounce from WWE after Mania) bound but in the current landscape everything's a crapshoot. Give me new matchups for these guys. Like I'd love to see LAX in a division where they haven't wrestled nearly anybody over ones they wrestled 3 months ago in Impact. And I'd like to see the Usos and Lucha Bros or Bucks go at it instead of seeing Usos and New Dayor Revival for the 15th time. Yea they'll have great matches every time out but it gets a bit boring after awhile.

And I wish WWE did this more often they have the talent to do it.

Who knows what anyone is thinking when it comes to deciding where to go. AEW vs WWE is complicated. Pros and cons to both.

Re: AEW Discussion Thread

Another match announced for the TNT debut. Hopefully the mystery opponents are big names making debuts. On the small chance that CM Punk actually came to AEW, I doubt he would debut in a match, seems like it'd have to be an end-of-the-show-run-in like Moxley, right?

If Punk ever does debut, I'd like to see it old school ECW style where the lights go out and he's in the middle of the ring once they come back on.

Re: AEW Discussion Thread

As long as the 2 mystery partners aren't Penta and Fenix, I don't give a damn who it is. Out of all the wrestlers in the industry Lucha Bros is the worst option you can go with. I would rather Enzo and Extra Large Cass tag with Jericho over Lucha Bros.

I'm with you, the ladder match should be it and let this whole thing die between The Bucks/Lucha Bros at All Out. Move the Bucks and Lucha Bros to new opponents for weekly TV.

I can see it being Enzo and Cass but maybe The Dark Order? There's not really any big name tag teams out there that they could pull a big surprise with for the mystery partners.

Here's the question though, debut him like Jon Moxley with a run in at the end of All Out or have him show up at the end of your first TV show with a cliffhanger to get us to tune in the next week? If Punk were to show up either at All Out or the first TV show in DC, I'd like to see him be a heel and not a hero returning to wrestling or what not.

Why can't WWE do their contract signings like this, short and easy to the point.

Man, it'd be great but cell phones killed this type of reveal. They could always black out the feed for TV but you'll never get the same kind of live pop.

Never mind that unless they did it in Chicago you’d hear that CM Punk was seen it at the airport in the city I few days before the event or even the day of. And with it being Punk we’re talking about it would be pretty easy to put 1 and 1 together.

Because they don't want to even hint at pretending that any of their matches are real fights. Cinematic elements like that video are too subtle and real for them.

I dont know. I think we overestimate how many people read the dirt sheets/spoilers. For example, the pop that the Hardy Boyz got at WM a few years back was huge and spoilers were out there that they would be on the show.

Thinking Britt Baker or Kylie. As long as it's not Brandi trying to be like Stephanie then I'm gine with whoever wins it. Going to try to get tickets for this but I imagine even this may be impossible without secondary markets.

The biggest impact I could see would be Kong winning.

Considering her in-ring, she better not. I respect that she trained hard to get back in the ring, and I love her, but she shouldn't be top of the division, even as a troll heel.
