    Tony Khan details how Mariah May/Toni Storm angle was planned

    I still have my issues with Tony's booking, but I'll save that for a different thread. I agree, though, his long term booking is great when there's no roadblocks. After Worlds End I re-watched all the important bits of the Summer and Fall and the devil storytelling was well built and...

    My mini rant about Naomi's current theme / the "Def Rebel bad" thread

    She’ll pull an Orton and tell them I’m not coming out to that.

    Tony Khan details how Mariah May/Toni Storm angle was planned

    I originally wondered why they were starting with the Male Owen, but the moment I saw that turn, I was like this is the way, that had to close the show. When you had that final visual, not only Toni bleeding and Mariah having the smeared red on her face, but that psychotic look when she was...

    Tony Khan details how Mariah May/Toni Storm angle was planned

    I also like instead of doing the turn the next week we can get the why she did it promo instead. I also like starting it right away so that way we have the full six weeks to build the actual match and not have to do the turn in the middle that build

    Tony Khan details how Mariah May/Toni Storm angle was planned

    I did expect it immediately when they left the ring and the overrun just started, but other than that, it was surprising to do it right away and I think it was perfect for her character because there was zero reason left to keep up the ruse. Turning immediately made the story coming out of the...

    Tony Khan details how Mariah May/Toni Storm angle was planned

    Right now it’s neck and neck for me and depending on the landing it might top it for me. The only issue with Omega and Hangman is it took a few breaks and I don’t think it was as well calculated as this one, but still being a top two story when combining the genders is damn impressive. These...

    Tony Khan details how Mariah May/Toni Storm angle was planned

    I didn’t get his schtick for a long time and didn’t care for him until I watched some of his Hey EW interviews. He’s still a bit of a weirdo, but he doesn’t pull any punches. I’m actually surprised he hasn’t been cancelled for some of the stuff he does on there. He does some risqué jokes as well...

    Tony Khan details how Mariah May/Toni Storm angle was planned

    Tony really did pull the “greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing you he never existed.” Tony went out of his way to tell everyone on numerous occasions this movie is what we’re doing and the fan still didn’t see the turn coming.

    Tony Khan details how Mariah May/Toni Storm angle was planned

    It’s crazy looking at that movie and seeing how well it translates over. The timeless character falling into their laps was like the greatest gift they could’ve ever hope for not only did he get Toni over but just the fact that they could borrow from these really great older movies

    Tony Khan details how Mariah May/Toni Storm angle was planned

    It wouldn’t surprise me either if that show was what was the final pull to reach out.

    Tony Khan details how Mariah May/Toni Storm angle was planned

    She really is the whole package. She gets what this is. She’s insanely good in the ring, has a character, can tell stories in and out of the ring and can cut a promo. Crazy to hear she can do commentary last minute as well.

    Tony Khan details how Mariah May/Toni Storm angle was planned

    Interesting too is I don’t watch stardom and even I heard waves about Mariah and slowly became a fan by specifically checking out what she was doing over there so when she came to AEW I already knew of her, but her work in AEW especially has made her a star and a favorite of mine. She’s going to...

    Tony Khan details how Mariah May/Toni Storm angle was planned

    Precisely what I’ve been saying. You can definitely tell this was all planned from before she even debuted on AEW television. It might be Tony’s best work and I’m so happy he didn’t deviate.

    AEW Dynamite July 17th, 2024: EPISODE 250!

    There was some vague information released by Fightful that it might be soon, tbf. That’s the only reason why I’m kinda leaning on it maybe being her and technically Britt had a similar report a week before her return, but definitely been much quieter than usual with no month to month updates and...

    AEW Dynamite July 17th, 2024: EPISODE 250!

    No doubt there’ll be something as long as Tony can make it happen. He would definitely want to do something tonight for 250. So it’ll only not happen if he couldn’t make it happen. Like maybe he wants Hayter to return and she’s not ready. I don’t want to hype myself up for disappointment if...

    AEW Dynamite July 17th, 2024: EPISODE 250!

    Back to what I was saying before, only three matches booked. Even if they add a random unadvertised match, we could be looking at two really lengthy bangers. Swerve and Okada could even go broadway! :trips8

    AEW Dynamite July 17th, 2024: EPISODE 250!

    Fair enough. I just have a laundry list of women currently there I want to see her pushed before she comes in and steps over them lol But yeah, I think she’s just taking a break and will return to WWE later.

    I really like Becky, but I hope not. We have a really strong women’s division now, but I don’t want it to get too crowded.

    Normally you see most of the card on the preview. Tony must be giving the two big matchups hella time.
