I’d say the one most likely to turn face soon would be Takeshita. With Fletcher’s (and by extension Carny Hot Dog’s) betrayal of Ospreay, there’s potential for further shake ups in the DCF.

As to who will be dropping their championship first, probably Okada, as the next Continental Classic should be starting soon.

The FTW belt was never an officially recognized title in AEW, and it’s retirement with Hook as its last holder is the perfect symbolism for Hook “graduating” and pursuing greater challenges. Whether AEW capitalizes on this narrative has yet to be seen.

He’s close to the top in my AEW tier list. That perfect blend of old school heel heat and modern athletism makes him a ‘must watch’ a lot of the time.

I would have used Kama instead of Goodfather, but well done. lol

Gonna be hard to top that Sephiroth entrance. The One Wing on the big screen got me hard.

For us when we were kids, it was definitely Hogan (though I’m still a Piper guy to this day *fist bump), but the adults that I watched wrestling with swore by Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes, so it was fairly diverse back then, too, despite the biggest spotlight being on Hogan.

The whole thing with The Father of The Year is what also had me thinking last night’s main event happened sooner than originally planned. Granted, given the nature of it, Christian can be plugged into a feud no matter who has the belt. But double heel sounds like a dumb idea, and it’s already been established that The Patriarchy doesn’t want to fuck with Jon of Moxley and his Merry Men. (Luchasaurus falling ill probably also is a shoot factor). Maybe Darby beats Mox for the title, and Christian swoops in after to fuck him over?

No clue, honestly. After WrestleDream, I’m convinced my predictor is broken.

Bro, that’s the exact example that came to my mind as I was typing that.

I suspect Danielson’s neck surgery needs to happen sooner rather than later and the timeline got accelerated.

Not AEW’s best show, I’ll admit, but I still enjoyed it and was pleasantly surprised that some of my match predictions were wrong.

The end of the main event, though… FUUUUUCK.

No! Only live post here!

*stomps foot and pouts

lol

We’re very fortunate to live in a time where you can ask any wrestling fan “who is the best (active) wrestler in the world?” and you’ll get a ton of different answers. I’ve lost count of how many “favorite” wrestlers I have currently.

Yes. Her previous kayfabe name was literally “Gearl Hebner”.

Slippery Carny Hot Dog

Coming back from a long-term injury almost always results in a face turn, it’s not a new thing. It’s been happening for as long as I can remember. He can always turn heel again in the future, wrestling has more turns than NASCAR.

The Acclaimed aren’t exactly pushovers in kayfabe, either. Former tag champs, former trios champs, winningest tag team in the company at one point (if not still), so TK & Co. must have faith that MxM can draw.

I know I’m sure as hell entertained by them.

Fingers crossed his recovery goes as expected. Diverticulitis is a bitch.

He’s taking every booking he can to pay Statlander.

He’s just like me fr fr.

Mind. Blown.
