I’m talking about the same thing, too. I’m saying if Tony wanted to he could easily main a PPV imo.

I wouldn’t make him a top 5 main event player I’d build the company on, but in a mick foley occasionally main event and maybe have a short run on top, I can easily see.

Because the thing is, it’s not like after he steps back down, you can’t slide one of those other 15 guys back in.

I was saying this to blaze too but I think that even the upper mid card slot is a lost art form that people don’t do anymore but it was a beautiful mechanic you had your core main event guys then you could have a revolving door of guys you could slide in.

If it was 2019, I wouldn't disagree. He isn't a bad choice, he'd put on a top match. AEW just have an all time roster so would have to be the right feud or probs a tag team feud for it to make sense to me over a lot of other people. If he was on a different roster at a different time, I would probs feel different. I think this just speaks to the depth of the roster (and on a side note, Tony should just let people who really want to go leave)

Edit: stupid typo

Now, to be fair with this exact phrase you are using here. I don’t even disagree that much. Like I was saying to Chris, where person position on a roster is all dependent on the talent you have at your disposal. When Matt Tavon was the champion look at the roster or Ring of Honor was working with at the time. I would argue. Taven was the top three player at that point. Even though I wouldn’t say top 15 necessarily in the AEW main event like you were saying, Taven still crushed that TV main event. So he still a great talent and it all just depends on your circumstances.

I also want to say that my level of the hill that I’d be willing to die on changes between Taven and Jeff because I don’t even think Tavon is on the Jeff Jarrett level where I think Jeff Jarrett I think is a bona fide main event player, Taven is a guy I would occasionally slide in the main event.

Slide into a TV main event is fine. I just never enjoyed Jeff Jarrett main event work. He is a "main eventer", he is a 10 time world champion. I just prefer his midcard work if that makes sense.

The funny thing that I think fucked Jeff Jarrett, the most when it comes to retrospectively looking at his career is, I don’t even think the WWE even saw him is just a midcard guy. He was one of their top heels. He moved some of the most Merch under your top guys. And he didn’t win six ic championships in 1999 standards for no reason. He was being groomed for the top, but he got fucked because Stone Cold Steve Austin didn’t wanna work with him over ancient history with his father.

Only part of the War Dogs I don't jive with (though maybe when I finally get to watch Wrestle Kingdom and the War Games match he will change my mind)

Honestly if done in a feud with SCA , it might have worked for me. Under Russo bollocks might have had a factor on my viewing on those runs.

While I do like David, I probably would say my favorite part of the war dogs is the Connors and Drilla tag team.
