AEW Double or Nothing - May 26, 2024

No, I get it. That’s why I was trying to have that rapport with you and that you were wishing that I lost the Sasha Banks match too. I was like you’re piling on me, but why lol

Although I wouldn’t have cared, if Sasha had lost her match, actually would’ve preferred Roddy won his.

Yeah that one was more me thinking from a story standpoint tbh But I’m fine she won there as I definitely don’t have any issues with her. A lot of time I try to think how I’d book the results, with the story told up to the point. With this it was mentioned a few times about Willow beating her when she did, because of the injury, so in my mind I’m like okay, put that narrative to rest. Without it getting mentioned, I book Mercedes to win. It’s honestly the Booker in me from all the TEW and now PWS runs I’ve done

I love Roddy but I think expecting a long dominant reign after oc mox oc was setting oneself up for disappointment

 

[Comrade Khan]

Much like ppl mad Mercedes won, I'm personally hearing a lot of long paragraphs that can be summarized by my favorite lost and I'm disappointed

Honestly we may never see a run like OC’s again

It was worth it to get out Stat the Black beginning

Not really a matter a faith more a matter of enjoying the match and the rude. I don't really get the whole being pre negative because the angle didn't go how it could have gone. Roderick went from getting 0 reigns to a fun one. It's not Tony's fault Cole n mjf got hurt n there's higher people on the totem pole than Roderick. I feel like we should be grateful we got a run at all.

I also don't get being all bummy when we got an awesome mjf segment n Cole return. It's unfortunate that it bothers you that much since I had a great time watching the Roddy ospreay feud.

Yeah, I just don’t see things that way. I wish I could be grateful that he got a breadcrumb, but if he doesn’t have anything next to follow up with, I don’t.

It’s also not one angle. It’s been months of just hoping things got better and they just didn’t. OGK literally haven’t had a match on TV in five weeks.

If Tony proves me wrong and the UK come back better than ever and we get a great angle with MJF I will say damn OK I was wrong afterwards but at a certain point I don’t have the Goodwill to just pretend like that’s what’s gonna happen anymore.

I mean, I am somewhat still hopeful, as I am disagreeing with Gambit that they’re just going to brush it off like he thinks it’s going to happen, but we’ll see.

That's not what I was expecting either but I was deffo expecting better than what we got. I don't even need it to be long but what was got was meh. Like I was cool with him losing to Ospreay, length wise it is fine (and Willow losing to Mone is fine). But the overall booking just felt wanting.

Didn’t have to exactly match the length of the original Cassidy run, but couldn’t go on another month or two.

I mean, I’ve never hidden that lol but also, there’s some meat to it. UK’s credibility is in the toilet right now.

 

[Smart Marx]

As for Mercedes even if she wasn’t my favorite and was happy that she won, I never doubted that result for a second. It seemed pretty obvious they put the belt on Willow so she could lose it back to Mercedes after the angle that they had in new Japan.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Also the match fucking ruled

 

[Smart Marx]

The match and the post angle were both well done.

I'd argue ur beating a dead horse n they've never been important since mjf was not there n Cole stayed injured. Also no group is going to be booked stronger than the elite as that would not fit the current world meta. That faction is dead once mjf beats Cole imo

 

[Roy Mustang]

Tbh Strong should have just won it two weeks after World's End instead of dragging it out. Would have shown the impact the group is having and also show him to be a dick taking OC's offer and taking his title after he wrestled the same night.
