What Professional Wrestling Prodigy Lee Moriarty Is Listening to Right Now

 

Maybe someone from CHAOS interferes and Miro wins and then Danielson calls out Okada at dynamite

 

Daniel, my guy, I think you're out of your mind lol. I'll happily be wrong though, no one in the company I want to cheer for than Eddie.

 

Eddie winning dirty is rational/plausible if you’re just looking to prolong the angle and get some more mileage out of it. But I think it’s clear that wasn’t the intention when this got thrown together, that Punk is still being protected and this was just a filler feud to get him on the card. Plans can always change and maybe Moxley being away affects whatever they had thought about doing next, but it would run counter to the trajectory of both and the actual upside of that booking doesn’t seem great in the big picture to me. Eddie should’ve taken the TNT belt off Miro, but if he wasn’t worth being put over then then I don’t know why you’d go about it here. I’m not even sure Eddie was going over Archer before he got hurt.

 

I've worked myself into a shoot, that's for sure.

 

Well LUCKILY we won't have to wait long gentlemen!!!!


I've been on mf point with TK's booking the past year, JUS SAYIN.

 

I'll also mark out wayyyyyy harder if Eddie wins now lmao

 

I'm not in on the Eddie beating Punk train at all. CM Punk is a far bigger commodity and act for the product. Eddie Kingston is a great hand to have in the company, and he's the feel good story of the week, I get it. But, he's not the guy. He's not going to be the guy. And, this may be an unpopular opinion, but he shouldn't be the guy with all the talent they have in that company right now.

And that's okay. He's already surpassed any and every expectation and he's going to be a staple on the roster for years to come. Winning isn't really the crux of Kingston's gimmick, anyway. He's a street-smart, tough guy who gets into bitter, personal rivalries and takes his pound of flesh.

To me, this story is simple. Kingston beats the ever-loving piss out of CM Punk, but Punk wins in the end. Kingston does what he promised - he takes his pound of flesh from the guy who called him a bum. Punk publicly acknowledges that he was wrong about Kingston, that he took him to his absolute limit, and they go their separate ways.

 

Oh lawd, do they shake hands at the end too? HOW ORIGINAL

 

"Original" doesn't mean "good for business."

I don't think Kingston winning is out of the realm of possibility, but sometimes the simplest story is the best one, especially when this was designed entirely as a filler feud for Punk until he moves onto something else.

 

Broooooooo, this company had Sammy Guevara beat fucking Miro for a title on a random Dynamite, this ain't your cookie cutter booking wrestling promotion, thank GOD it's not. Granted Sammy won a little dirty but dudes a babyface!!

 

doubling down baby LETS GO EDDIE

 

I love Eddie but he’s not getting the rub of being the first guy in AEW to beat Punk

 

you geeks watch too much WWE still

 

People care a lot more about who wins - especially in a non-title match, than I realized. At least for a potentially quick, hot feud like this, who actually gets his hand raised by the ref doesn't have to matter very much. I'd still give odds to Punk, but winning or losing can set up storylines for both of them.

 

Punk/Eddie, to me, is the easiest booking of the night, lol. Punk goes over, eddie bleeds and looks like the toughest SOB in the world.

 

If Eddie wins, I'll be even happier for you than I will be for Eddie

 

Just give me the strap when Eddie wins, what geek has it? @Ruethless ??

 

arn has the strap

 

LMFAOOOO

 

With Double Or Nothing being in Vegas again, I’m hoping AEW finally does some west coast dates. I think they will draw really well in Cali/NW. I don’t see myself ever paying to go to WWE again (I’d go for free) and I’m starving for a big wrestling show. The indies in the NW are awesome, but attending Dynamite would be surreal given how much things have changed in the last three years.

 

It was the most fun I’ve had this year

 

Holy shit lol
