I mean someone is gonna beat MJF and Jay just wasn’t that guy yet. So it seems you’re just gonna be upset no matter what.
Joe would upset me more than most. If it’s not Jay, it should be Cole. That’s what the story leads to.

Also, Jay IS that guy. He just wasn’t chosen. Yet.

I’ll take Swerve next over Joe, for the record. I just want to know when my Cole and Switch will get it if Swerve gets it first. I want to understand the timeline. That’s all.

Don’t get me wrong, I like 6 month reigns, but with monthly PPV, you don’t need a minimum length.

I’d say two 2-4 month reigns and then a 6+ per year is fine booking. And you can occasionally get away with a one-month back to back.

Look at the women’s title. That’s probably more accurate to how all title will be booked with monthly PPV. No reason to elongate everything.
it made sense with 4 ppvs + also making the belt prestigious to begin with, but now there isnt much logic to that. you currently have the longest champ and kenny also had it for a year, so thats thalf the belts life on 2 ppl. its def time to switch up the booking style a bit and give other ppl a rub

Plus, AEW kinda had that ECW/NXT style of always the next guy. But once you allow shorter reigns, you can then allow yourself to have repeat champions. Hanger and Omega will be able to have a second go.

I think another ideal scenario, one which I think is currently being done in fact, is to keep the International Title as a highly touted title. They kind of fucked up the TNT title when they did dumb shit like put it on Scorpio Sky ( sorry to him and his fans), had Sammy win it one too many times, and most offensive, they didn't put it on Malakai (ok thats my own head canon)

I would ideally have the International as the main title on Collision, eventually.

Give me Swerve as champ right now. I had wished he was the one getting the shot over Jay at Full Gear as I’m not that high on Jay as others are (I don’t really get the hype tbh).

If not Swerve than Cole but at this point I’d rather it be Swerve over anyone.

Swerve’s cool and all, but if he wins it and Cole never touches it in 2024, I’ll be cross with you all. :krillin2

So, you do Swerve when you drive, Jimmy

I feel like it should be. International is practically synonymous with the word World. Make the belt what the IC meant in the 80s. A second world title that was given to the guy just before he got the proper run on top.

I also love the name and look for the belt. Probably the best midcard title today.

I’m also of the mindset tnt and tbs should go and if they ever leave those stations rename them AEW tv women’s tv belts.

i would rebrand those two titles or cut them in the long run, too. doesnt need to be soon but I agree with your mindset that id rather them just be tv titles

al;so agree the INT should be the IC of AEW and treated with that kind of respect. it should stick with its current identity

Bad takes. Especially since MJF hasn’t lost any character.

This isn’t WWE where he’s a Cena type babyface now.

Not turning your most over wrestler would be foolhardy.
