General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

so Take still looked mad strong

Not just that, it also underlines the fact that Takeshita is basically future-Kenny and that they are already on the same level.

I just think they know regardless how good a story of making a young guy beat mox, they are running out of runway and fan patience imo

correct. take beat him decisively twice and kenny needed to veteran his ass with a pin maneuver to get one over. heck if anything, it shows Take still might even be above him in power level but Kenny outsmarted him this time

 

[Comrade Khan]

which again proves your point that Take is on Kennys level (or higher)

 

[Comrade Khan]

if they keep investing in Takeshita and Kyle they couold easily both be legit World Champions in a few years. I legit see Kyle as a young Orton its crazy

 

[Comrade Khan]

he should not be this good this fast as a singles guy. it makes no logical sense but it happened

 

[Samoa Looch]

yeah that's kind of my point too. i did not expect a 5 star afair out of two older guys, the match was fine. but having it main after 3 near perfect bloodfeud matches? yeah that didnt hit right on a ppv that was already 5 and half hours

Yea... AEW has that problem relatively often, that the placement on the cards isn't quite right. It was always going to be impossible to follow Omega/Takeshita and Will/Kyle. Maybe it would've helped to have Okada/Brody before the Main... or heck, they could've made Omega/Takeshita the Main Event, in hindsight.

 

[Comrade Khan]

and that is coming from me who was hot take guy 3 years ago saying Kyle was the future when everyone was salivating over Mark Davis (for good reason, Mark was amazing then)

SRS had a fair point - make the week a ppv week. u could have had okada brody and the tag match on dynamite or collision. i love the cards but like...4 30 hrs would prob be fine instead of 5 30h

 

[Comrade Khan]

and then you can open with swerve rico - so u can still do that shot after the mox match which should have been like 2nd or 3rd out mb. idk

 

[Comrade Khan]

either way the women or kenny should have probably main evented. i say kenny because the match was ME lenght where as the hollywood ending was more of a lights out 13 min hellscape

 

[Comrade Khan]

in fact ya id prob have ended with the women with kenny right before.

 

[Samoa Looch]

ofc. i just think theyve pivoted. ofc i could be wrong and swerve is just the next placeholder feud. certainly a valid and possible outcome

He for sure is going to be. Probably gonna be Swerve for Dynasty, then maybe Hangman for Double or Nothing and then we're walking towards All In. I doubt Swerve or Hangman will take the title off Mox too... not with them possibly doing something with Hanger and Swerve again. (Hopefully a team-up)

i am personally thinking different, ive shifted. I am hoping for a Swerve victory at Dynasty and a Hangman title win at All In over Swerve

I still think OC should've been the guy... but I also think they originally had different plans regarding the whole Death Riders angle.
