    I kinda of hope Charlotte wins the title at Mania, gets to 15, then immediately loses it the following Smackdown, just so we can get the inevitable "Will Charlotte get to 16 World titles like her dad?" angle out of the way ASAP.

    Her big 16th world title win before she quasi-retires for an entertainment career will probably be the next Mania though.

    I feel like Randy/KO deserves a stip and not just be a normal match. I really hope it's a HIAC honestly.

    She should try being entertaining before trying to make it a career

    Page is right there & he's the most over guy not in the Omega/Ospreay arc so I don't know why he isn't the guy right now. Optimistic about Swerve now that he's got some momentum back in this Ricochet feud, though.

    Yeah, the whole main event scene in AEW has been incredibly tone deaf for months, honestly. They've got Swerve, Hangman, Ospreay, and MJF in their primes. Omega and Okada still operating at an extremely high level. Guys like Takeshita, Fletcher, and King on the rise. They're all just off in their own little worlds feuding with each other and just...not cycling up to the top of the card.

    Obviously not everyone can be there at once, but it's not a great sign when everything any of them are doing at any given time is exponentially more over and more interesting than the title picture. It's like they're just saving them all for a rainy day.

    Yeah as much of a Charlotte defender as I am, I can’t see her being a very “entertaining” actress

    She seems like the type of person who would be very selective in the roles she accepts and it wouldn’t be something that endears people to her and way down the road she’d finally be able to poke fun at herself and finally get people to really like her and we’d all wonder what could have been if she would have realized that sooner.

    No Fun. Not Ever.

    Somehow managed to pivot from Kevin Owens videos on YouTube to Eddie Kingston ones and now I'm back in a "I'm sad and I miss Eddie" mood.

    For all the TV specials NXT does, this one has really felt like a PLE

    The absolute perfect time for a certain Canadian to show up.



    Edit: Forgot Josh Alexander is Canadian. I mean Speedball.

    Either them or Eddie Kingston. Probably Speedball since Mortos will be a perfect opponent for him.

    Davis, Ricochet, Speedball, OC...with either Speedball or Ricochet facing Omega seems like the outcome. The rumors were Speedballs visa issues were over, and Im sorry, Josh Alexander isnt that exciting a wild card for that spot cause there's a 0% chance they trot him out over like, half those dudes.
     
  17. It’s gonna be hilarious when mox beats Swerve Hangman and Osprey just so they can put Darby Allin over at All Out

    And had Christian won, you can build the entire Dynasty PPV around a clean break with the Death Riders. Swerve doesnt need to be #1 contender off his match with Ricochet. You run the Casino Gauntlet to determine a #1 contender at the PPV. Mox demands a rematch (and bullies Christian/Tony into it)...but between OC, White, Cope, etc, they'll refuse to let him win and wipe him out after the PPV.

    And at DoN, you put whoever wins that gauntlet over Christian and build that person as the main of All In.
