I saw a list of people that were probably upset right now and one of them was Camille. I had already forgotten that they had signed her!

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Am I the only one that thinks Jungle Boy looks like he couldn’t even beat up a high schooler?

 

[Dead2009]

Yep. Doing it at Forbidden Door helps no one. If Ospreay wins, well you just completely kneecapped Swerve, who you built up hot to be a champion and did absolutely nothing with for his reign. But if Swerve wins, well then you just gave away a premiere money making match up for a quick 3 week build. Even if you run it back in a month or two, it's never the same as being able to build up anticipation for the first time.

I think what it speaks more to is they literally had no plan after "Swerve wins the title". They failed to build up any challengers. They just up announced Christian as his first challenger with no build up and later backfilled some story justification but it never felt like an actual credible challenger story. And then they just have Ospreay win the gauntlet to be his next opponent. They're just grabbing opponents for the match to be good and not really planning out any real stories long term

Because Tony Khan has come out and said he books for the fans, not for the company long term.

Also Jeff Hardy's contract expires either tomorrow or next week and TNA is interested lol

The last couple of singles matches he had in AEW was the best he's looked in years. But I have no desire to see the Hardys in 2024, especially Matt who is completely broken down and can't move

 

[Dead2009]

Yeah but TNA is gonna use em because they need star power right now.

Missed Forbidden door, I had a vaild reasons that I wish didn't want to discuss, but saw Dynamite.

Hour 1 was meh, Willow /Stat killed.

Hour 2 needs to go to a burn unit because it was straight fire.

Overtime was the cheery on top.

MJF turn back was a thing of Beauty

 

[Dead2009]

Ive never understood why they never made Blood & Guts a PPV yet, its supposed to be their version of War Games yet every single match has happened on free television.

I liked the PAC-Danielson match and always like Briscoe on the mic too from the first hour.

Sucks that White will likely lose to Hangman on Saturday as I’d like to see a match with him and Danielson.

Again.

Whoever wrote that Overrun deserves a raise

Mariah really laid in those heel shots. Looked viscous.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

That was definitely a good ending with Mariah turning. Playing the long game there.

What I didn't like was on Collision when the Bang Bang Gang got stripped of the belts because White has been out one week. They let that MJF without a partner thing go on for months and didn't do that. Them doing the Freebird thing would've been entertaining I think.

MJF got his ass kicked by a little girl
