The thing that gets me with other promotions Championships... these other promotions just let other bookers choose challengers?

That's generally how it worked in the territory days, yes.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

He'll be on his own when Jericho retires....unless Jericho becomes his manager

I’m gonna go cry into my pillow

usually as long as the champion wins yeah, even back in the NWA they were usually cool when anyone challenging the drama was just from when someone wanted to win

 

[Chris]

There was some controversy a couple years ago bc MLW booked an AAA title change that AAA later ignored, they both blamed each other

 

[Smart Marx]

Danielson talking about his neck. It’s time for the Cinderella story once more.

Even in kayfabe it was "They're a champion, if they lose to somebody from a smaller territory, that's on them. They gotta face all comers."

but the NWA chose their champion. Also the NWA wasn't a promotion it was a conglomeration of promotions.

I don’t know when Double J became the ultimate babyface, but I love that for him.

yeah but I'm saying it works the same way, the home promotion just chooses the champion but when they loan them out they let whoever challenge. NJPW can be more strict tho

I mean, you should also be running under the assumption CMLL *also* chose their champions and are fine as long as their person wins unless they agree to a booking change lmao

 

[Chris]

Hobbs challenging was a rarity earlier this year and some fans hated it, wrestling gods may have agreed since Hobbs got hurt, they're cruel

 

[Smart Marx]

I’m kinda glad I was wrong tho because it probably would’ve been Sammy and I would’ve cried

Him and Taya said they’re both training for their return, though!

 

[Smart Marx]

This shit goes all the way back to the birth of AEW. We’re finally setting the next chapter. LFG.

This top Shida has on almost reminds me of Low Ki’s hitman cosplay attire.
