Shane McMahon reaches out to AEW Talent

[Kross Rhodes]

Oh since Roddy lost I haven’t seen you comment at all

Decided to take a short reprieve from commenting on AEW, because people really didn’t like the fact that I voiced my opinion that I didn’t like that choice.

And I’ll be honest I was kind a little annoyed, because like I only commented on it a little bit and then the next day I was actually trying to talk about how happy I was about the bang bang gang having juice back, but then someone else brought up on they didn’t think kingdom would be following up on their feud with MJF so all I did was commented on that topic and then people seem to be annoyed with me just because I wasn’t super positive with the idea that they were just going to blow off the main angle that I got hooked into way back when they first revealed themselves and stabbed MJF in the back. I’m really looking forward to seeing that angle continue with Cole and MJF when both are ready to go.

I’m taking a short break from live discussions as I had a feeling people are not going to like my current opinions. People already agitated that I didn’t like that will osprey defeated Roderick Strong, so I figured people would be equally irritated. If I mentioned, I don’t like the fact that he’s already in the world title match after winning the international title so I was just taking a short break but I’m still watching and I’ll be back by forbidden door.

Tbh. I think you would’ve been okay saying this, others have been kinda shocked it’s already happening, so maybe saying it’s too soon would’ve went over well. I would’ve held off on if also. even told my girlfriend I’m kinda sad it’s happening already because Will’s my favorite, but Swerve don’t need to lose yet, so I’m like conflicted.

Glad it’s not just me then because my first thought was I thought will was supposed to be the workhorse that brought International Title back to glory and then he’s fighting for the world title at the next pay-per-view instead of letting a new Japan guy challenge for the international title.

 

[Roy Mustang]

Yeah my dislike of Shane is purely based on his on screen stuff. I do not want him to be apart of my fav story in AEW minus Ospreay/Swerve atm in the Elite takeover story after his Smackdown stuff which was SO FUCKING SHITE

 

[Chris]

That one I'm not gonna call good yet u til I see how Wembley shakes out on it but I'm in the dreaded "wait and see" mode that people get annoyed at when you say lol bc it's weird but could be good still

If that was me, I wasn't annoyed. I just wanted to see MJF move on till Cole is ready to go

Like, i definitely think the match will be amazing, but I definitely also would’ve held off on it a little bit longer. Just because I want him to win the World Title. But not yet, let Swerve have a good and decent run, and Will do his thing with the International Championship. Then he can drop it at some point and decide he wants to shoot higher, then go after the World Title.

 

[Bad News Booty]

Tbh I’m not thrilled with Ospreay getting a title shot so soon after winning the title off Roddy

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Happy to see that I’m not as alone on this island as I thought.

Like I know, Roddy is one of my favorites and im biased and wanted Roddy to have a longer run, but like one of my main objections was that I knew before that match even took place that will one didn’t really need it but more so that Tony was going to want to push him immediately into the world title picture so he didn’t really need the international title. Like with Brock Lesnar skipp d over the intercontinental because he was going to win the WWE championship a month later at SummerSlam .

 

[Cwalker]

Made no sense for Ospreay to get a World Title match the week after he won another Championship.

Makes no sense to beat either man right now too.

Just weird planning.

One thing I’ll say is, now you know how I felt when Toni lost to Jamie and I was made to feel like I shouldn’t have been mad about it. In the end I got what I wanted out of this current reign of hers, so have hope you’ll get something good for him one day!

Call it what it is, bad booking

I'm cool with it because:

• Gives Swerve a big win
• Ospreay is still defending the title regularly on TV
• There is a clear story being told between the two
• And it might stop the obsession with Ospreay needs to win the world title this year at Wembley

Also the Ospreay can't lose right now stuff feels kinda of weird. He is not someone super dominant like Bron Breaker for example. Him losing to the World Champion is fine

I’ll always understand not wanting to see your favorites get their push cut short, but I probably did defend the decision at the time and still would just because it was Jamie‘s time. I think Toni was a victim of just Tony trying to make the booking a little too complicated. Jamie was on the rise long before that. She should have beat Rosa for it. And when Rosa got hurt, have Jamie win it in the 4-way. They basically gave it to Toni for the sole purpose of losing it to Jamie. I’d have done Rosa-Jamie-Toni.
