and ya Finlay kind of HAS to win. If he loses, I would use the term buried lol

 

[Smart Marx]

He's the only member not a comedy jobber so far and it's actually done a lot for Shota as a babyface too having that betrayal

That’s good to hear. They really could use some more seriousness. Maybe this year they can start to build up evil again.

 

[Chris]

Evil was getting some mega heat against Kiyomiya too I'll say, especially when they invaded Noah

Agreed. Finlay doesn’t just have his own reputation on the line. At this point I kind of feel like bullet club as a whole is washed if their leader can’t win shit.

Should probably have the War Dogs lay out both dudes after the match too tbh

That would honestly send a strong message. Not only to the united empire and will, but also sort of to bullet club gold as they send the two AEW guys back to their company.

I’m honestly hoping war dogs retain the Jr belts, but I have a feeling they’re not going to.

 

[Chris]

I love that team but I think Catch 2/2 have earned the win. I won't be mad either way but I'd be shocked if they lost

Gabe Kidd and Coughlin should have been in the heavyweight title match and won tho IMO

I don’t know why, but I actually prefer Clark and Drilla as a tandem, but I do agree it’s weird that they’re not doing as much with the team that they kind of had originally promoted as being the main tag team of the war dogs. It would have certainly helped when Clark and Drilla lost if Kidd and Alex won the heavyweight belts.

As long as David wins the global and the war dogs lay out his opponents post match, it should be fine, though.

its why I picked wardogs to retain. I feel like if I was booking I would end the night them holding a bunch of gold

Same page. That’s how you should do it.

Build them strong for the new year.

and hopefully we can have the gold vs dogs feud this summer

I’ve been saying. Hopefully by then juice will be good to go.

yeah that faction is sad right now without the collision cowboy of the month.

I wonder if Jay shows up at WK even if he's not "allowed"

You know actually that would be kind of cool if he did show up to attack David after winning the global belt. Jay wouldn’t be allowed to wrestle in new Japan, but it wouldn’t stop him from coming through the crowd.
