Hangman/Swerve is my favorite, because it’s what sold me on Swerve. Before that, I didn’t care much about him at all, he was just there for me. But his work with Hanger sold me on him because the story was so great and both men did wonderful.

It’s weird because I don’t want to slander Jeff Jarrett as I’m probably the biggest Jeff fan on the forum. I would legitimately put peak 2000 Jeff Jarrett in my top 10 of all time, but I don’t think even I could say I would pop for him winning some thing in 2024.

For me it depends on what it is lol. If he eventually wins the ROH World Title, I’d probably pop for that… :lol

Hangman's chase and subsequent World Title win is the best story the company has ever told.

Personally, I have the Punk/MJF story as a close second but I can see why people would say Hangman/Swerve

Personally I think both companies are at an all-time high rn. WWE is the best it's been since like 2002-03, and AEW is probably having its best overall year rn.
Ngl this is insulting as an AEW fan man
Yeah, that's a... very interesting take. More power to Grim though if he thinks that though.

I think most people already see Will as a world champion main eventer whereas a lot of people needed to be shown Hanger could be

Yeah when Hanger faced Jericho to determine the first World Champ, he was perceived as a midcarder through and through by fans. I remember a lot of people early in AEW were quite low on Hanger in general, especially seeing how much they were clearly gonna invest in him when he was pretty unproven at the time. I think he's one of the most universally praised wrestlers in the company now.

Yeah I remember Zero trashing him a lot back then. Now he’s undeniably a top guy
