AEW Dynamite October 23rd, 2024: LADDER WAR!!

but all that said, if Adam Cole can rebottle the baybay energy again, there is rarely a guy so over for doing so little, people loved him that much

 

[Chris]

I don’t ever want them to break up this group though. Even when he’s ready for a singles push again. I really think they can be the new day or any other act that basically doesn’t have to break up these days because you can still have any member of the group do singles stuff in the group.

I can't do Adam vs Kyle again

 

[Ricky Smarks]

the thing for me is it is very difficult for me to say he deserves it over guys that have been working hard while he was gone, which like I said is not fault of Adam but thats the biz at times. Jay White needs it more for example. I think Kenny needs another run. Hangman and Swerve could use a run. Ospreay absolutely NEEDS a run within the year. then u have rising stars too knocking at the door, OC could make a case for earning a run too. MJF likely wants back on top. Hobbs star is rising, Protostar too. its fucking BUSY

You know I ain’t gonna disagree with you on Jay White. I honestly think if he’s not the world champion by the end of 2025 that’s crazy. so even if Adam came back 100% I probably would put the belt on Jay first.

I do personally like a healthy Cole more than I do will osprey, personally, but I am also agreeing with you that he’s put in the work so he should get a run first as well.

Swerve and hanger both definitely need to continue at the top. No question about it and I’m just now coming around on the rise of the protostar. Guaranteed future legend.

My only thing is Adam still has plenty of time. We have wrestlers that are still going well past 45 and Adam is only 35. He’s got several years so I’m thinking by maybe 2028 we can get him on top.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Me either.

That’s why I don’t understand why Kyle is in the conglomeration, but at the very least they didn’t do a feud.

Roddy and Kyle did, technically, but not again and thankfully we might be working to a reconciliation with Kyle watching the undisputed kingdom reunite on this show

That’s the key. Get something so over it’s effortless.

if he can stay healthy he has like 5 years to be champ which is def do able

The Perpetual Kingdom!

It's really tough to keep a group together for a long ass time. If it's always kind of a looser connection between them, then it'd be different, of course. ...but yea, the Undisputed Kingdom could (and probably should) be a mainstay stable for years to come really. Sometimes with members going their own way for a while, without really breaking the group apart etc.

For 2025, I think the best thing for them would be to establish the group as a group... which means mostly Tag and Trios feuds. With the HoB gone and the Trios Titles being kinda floundered around with the Death Riders story, there is an open spot for a Trio to really put their mark on the division this year.

good news on your last sentence because its tracking in that exact direction

 

[Ricky Smarks]

FYI, when I say this group needs to stay together, I’m also including OGK, the kingdom in the undisputed Kingdom. I’ve done my best to avoid spoilers, but I do occasionally check cage match to check up on if my regulars are being booked and I haven’t seen OGK in a match since 2024. So they need to return to TV soon and they need to still be in this group.

I hope ogk comes back n Maria didn't blow them up on her way out . I think that would b lame because they've been used well n they always have good matches

I hadn’t even thought about that, but that would be so disappointing. Even Roy was saying he was coming around to them because of how much great work they have been putting in on this run.

I get if Mike wants to leave if he felt a certain way about the way Maria left but like at the very least Matt Taven should be brought back to TV because as much as I like them as a team more Matt Taven is still amazing as a single guy and he can still be in the Undisputed Kingdom.

I hope Mike finally sees his own worth in the industry n stops insisting to be attached to her. She exits everywhere with drama while bringing very little. Mike has been nothing but a pro imo.he earned the gig

Especially after putting in the work on himself and getting clean. He really earned a good run and I’d hate to see him squander it. I was watching him in TNA again (2016) the other day and even by himself he was so good on the mic and had such promise. I would really like to see that fulfilled in AEW.

He is so good with the fans. I don’t know if you remember, but when was there live watching Big business in Boston and they were taping rampage I think it was, he was going above and beyond interacting with the crowd and giving them a show. That’s why I was asking if anybody could see if he was doing it on camera or not, but he was constantly looking back and giving faces or hand signs to the fans or shouting things at the fans. It was a great time.
