Danielson working matches as a heel is fantastic. But I do not get the immediate character shift. Didn’t make sense.

Hope this leads to Danielson/Stu though

Interesting @ Bryan turning heel... was thinking that they need to be careful to not have the crowd "turn on Bryan" like they did with Cody since he's gonna be feuding with a beloved face... I guess it makes sense to just turn him heel, at least for this feud... and also since Omega is prob gonna be out for a while

Felt like shades of ROH Danielson to me. Supremely confident, and even as a face he’d try to get under his opponents’ skin in any way he can.

Wouldn’t be shocked if he HUGS IT OUT with Hangman once Hangman beats him clean.

I didn’t dig the Dark order into of Hangman, wanted that natural pop when his music hit but overall great segment. Danielson played it perfect, crowd played there part and Hangman is lovable.

Kenny, Cole and the Bucks was perfectly played.

Fucking loved Darbys acceptance of the Billy Gunn match, so dry!

Dante Martin continues to be a freak! He and Lio Rush are so fun, don’t feel like I have ever really seen Lio work before my goodness he’s got amazing movement. Might be the most fluid I have ever seen in a ring.

Just reading the results shows how this show is riddled with holes:

* Danielson vs. Evil Uno? One guy’s got a chance to bring in new fans, so you position him against the Losers Club and have him decimate them? Smart.

* You’ve got Tomohiro Ishii (a better Hall of Fame candidate than Randy Orton, according to Dave Meltzer) show up in this promotion. Isn’t he supposed to be a legit bad-ass? Let’s have him team with a joke wrestler against a retired gimmick and his jobbers. Smart.

* We’ve just signed Jay Lethal. You know, we could really use some black athletes that have spent some time in the business and can carry higher up spots. How should we debut him? He can lose to a Sammy Guevara with injured ribs. Care about this guy yet? Smart.

* Danielson vs. Evil Uno? One guy’s got a chance to bring in new fans, so you position him against the Losers Club and have him decimate them? Smart.

So he's decimating some jobbers. This bothers you as an old school wrestling fan? Would you prefer constant PPV-caliber matches up and down the card every week, Russo?

So he's decimating some jobbers. This bothers you as an old school wrestling fan? Would you prefer constant PPV-caliber matches up and down the card every week, Russo?

You’ve really jumped the shark as a poster. Was it that time I called you on saying “AEW should hire great talent, no matter where they come from”? Because your brain has melted whenever it comes to engaging with a point I’m actually making.

Unless you are just being an obtuse dick on purpose, in which case you have dropped out of a tier of poster worth conversing with.

No, I’m not saying that decimating jobbers is inherently a bad thing. The Dark Order are not good jobbers anyway. I’m talking about promoting unexciting filler between a babyface with drawing potential against a bunch of unbelievable novelty acts that are presented as cult heroes since Brodie Lee died.

If you can’t tell the difference, then oh well. That’s on you.

* another WWE guy in the title picture **harumph**
* there's no one good enough to be in the title picture **harumph**
* hes in the WRONG title picture *harumphphphphphphph*




What is a jobber squash if not unexciting filler? Or should jobber squashes lead to something more meaningful?

Brian vs. Uno was perfect. He beat up the jobber people actually care about a little and got some heat to support his quasi heel/tweener challenge of the baby face champ.

Job done, solid booking.

They gave Uno just enough shine to not look like a complete loser. Plus he’s a tag specialist. Going against a wrecking machine. Completely outclassed and overmatched but didn’t look hapless I’m getting his ass handed to him.

Noid just likes to bitch. He’s gotta be suffering through cognitive dissonance every time Cornette sends praise towards AEW, which has been happening more and more the past 6 months.

also feel like if he were in the main event picture, it would be one of the following:


* another WWE guy in the title picture **harumph**
* there's no one good enough to be in the title picture **harumph**
* hes in the WRONG title picture *harumphphphphphphph*

Stop leaping to irrational generalizations because you can’t address the actual points. I’ve been 100% on-board with the company signing Bryan and I’ve been vocal about the main event at Full Gear rightfully being him taking the belt off Omega. Your feelings are wrong.

Squash matches are supposed to make a wrestler look good. No one looks good beating up The Dark Order. They are not credible enough, they are not aesthetically impressive enough, and it’s counterproductive to your end goal (getting someone over). They suck and anyone being half-way honest will admit that.

As opposed to jobbers in squash matches of the good old days who were all very credible and aesthetically impressive...

Yeah Rollins turning was a pretty classic old school style turn.

I get there weren’t crowds so it wasn’t going to have maximum effect but how did they not make a “moment” out of Reigns turning heel?

Both the debut and destruction of the shield were in Indy. I was present for both shows and can tell you that the place blew up when Rollins started wailing on them with the chair.


Their "debut" was well received too.... but there were too many people who didn't know who they were, but were more excited at the prospect of some "new people interfering" that would lead to some cool new stuff.

How was it a full fledged turn?

Insulting the town.
Fighting a face and refusing to pin him so he can viciously beat him up more.
Threatening to do the same to more faces.

There really is no arguing that it was full fledged. If it was just insulting Adam Page I could say it wasn't full fledged and just some smack talk.... but it was way more.

Fignuts
11-19-2021, 04:17 PM
I did miss the line about Virginia. Still this might be him leaning more heelish rather than fully turning, to get people on page's side, as I imagine he's going over. Like when hbk acted like a massive prick in the build to his match with hogan. Especially considering AEW's history of blurring lines between face and heel.

I think it's the right move, as Page is their new (somewhat) homegrown talent, and you don't want to put him in a fued that splits the audience right off the bat. But at the same time a win over Danielson proves the victory over omega wasn't a fluke, and helps cement him as a top guy. So having Danielson go "off the rails" for a bit is the best way to do this program. But they have to be careful not to go full heel (I mean like eco warrior bryan level) as that would be a bad idea.
