ahh so in other words it was a lower-rated segment because it meant fuck all. Now I get it.

He's probably pushing Hook in game. Thats why the rating was so high.

Just gonna throw this in here... It's Wrestling. Retiring the FTW Title could easily become a... hook... (I'm not sorry for this one :jade ) for a storyline in a couple of years again. Heck, maybe Taz one day fucks over his son, turns heel and brings the Title back and all of this will get used as the base for that. We just don't know. The title had a great run over the last what... 12-18 months?

Sometimes you just have to drop something that isn't worth being in the focus anymore and ran it's course, so you can bring it back at some point in time with some immediate momentum. :shrug:

And btw, I'm also not really happy about losing the Title. Especially in AEW, a belt that is defended (almost exclusively) in hardcore matches, just works with the product and we've got to see some fun moments.... but yea, they decided to drop it (for now) and we should feel lucky they went with the best possible goodbye for the Title. It could have been far, far worse.

First the thing with Satnam, now this... I think you should stop giving people in your roster matches they ask for and just book them the way YOU want it. Be a fucking boss, man. :cudi

But if I give you what you want, and you let me down, you get punished. Hook is about to get buried when he gets back for getting hurt.
