Counting Lights Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 General thoughts -6 Man Tag was awesome. Like, REALLY awesome. Probably gonna watch it again as I was still working during it, but I really liked what I saw -Glad Starks is getting more TV time. Looking forward to Team Taz vs Lee matches -Jericho's new stable looks like it'll be fun, this was a good promo -Hardys vs PP was solid, but someone pointed out how heavy Jeff landed that Swanton. I really hope they stay safe, have this fun final run, then hang it up. I don't wanna see Jeff and Matt in wheelchairs by their 50's. If booked right, they could probably check every box within a year (feuds with Bucks, FTR, reDRagon, House of Black & Lucha Bros, plus a short title run which I'm certain will happen) -Steel Cage started off well but I didn't like the last 1/4-1/3 of it. The finishing sequence was so much more convoluted than it should've been, like they ran short on time and rushed spots instead of cutting them. I think it should've gone either big chairs spot into the finish or the Lockjaw hand smash into the finish. That extra chair shot for example was completely pointless. There was a good match here, it just drowned in excessive spots. -That said, hyped for Rosa as champ. Feels very refreshing to have her with the gold and I'm looking forward to what she can do with people like Deeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestInTheWorld614 Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 I kinda want Keith Lee to do a double turn with Starks and take the FTW title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they kinda cut off Swerve’s first name too which surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that was a little sus to me was Scorpio Sky, but per all the reporters his title win was planned since last year so... *shrug* Otherwise? Starks and Hobbs were always gonna get pushed, Lee and Swerve are newly signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I don’t see it as reactionary. Jade was always planned. They didn’t have Swerve or Keith Lee but that was expected they’d get pushed. They say Scorpio Sky’s push was always the plan so who knows. As a POC, I’m happy the direction they’re going in. It doesn’t feel forced, because all the black talent they have is actually *censored*ing good. No offense to legends like Booker T, Bobby Lashley or Mark Henry, but growing up I never felt connected to them like guys like Swerve, Keith Lee or even a guy like Carmelo Hayes in NXT.

Lunchbox Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 If they said Sky's push was planned last year i would have believed it way more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fight Me. Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 TK had his first 4 world champs planned from day one so I believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThinWalls Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 If Sky’s title run was planned a while back, then Tony Khan should have planned to have him wrestle more on TV. The guy barely wrestled on TV before becoming the TV champion. Looking at Cagematch, pre-title run, his last TV match was on Rampage in Oct. in some 6 man that I probably didn’t watch because well… it’s Rampage. lol For Dynamite, you have to go all the way back to JUNE to have seen him wrestle! That’s right… June. But get this: in 2021 Scorpio Sky, the current TNT champion, wrestled on TV a total of FIVE times the entire year. Five times. Wow. So this whole epic winning streak he’s had was practically non existent on their main shows for the past year. Sorry but that’s bad booking to me. I’m glad Sky is champ because I like him more than Sammy (who sucks big time right now), but they should have had him wrestle more on TV because while his stats say one thing, it doesn’t actually feel that way for TV viewers.

Counting Lights Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 Tbh I agree. That's still something that AEW does that doesn't work for bigger stories is having these win streaks/records be built up on Dark or Elevation and then used for TV feuds. It's fine for "low card underdog trying to break out against midcarder" stories, but not for a new champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestInTheWorld614 Posted March 21, 2022 Report Share Posted March 21, 2022 AEW always assumed people watch all their content. Like all the BTE references and the Dark results that were already brought up. I know WWE gets crap for a lot of recaps but they treat every show as someone is out there watching it for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he made his name quickly before joining ROH and NJPW. He and Black are also the current PWG World Tag Team Champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
