Morons who made it as independent wrestlers and are now an integral part of the second biggest wrestling company in NA. While you're just a bitter old man who has hot takes about content he doesn't consume. Things change, sorry you got left behind.

I am going forward with the story that Cody and Tony and the EVP's can all co-exist together and even have a good time when the situation calls for it. But the hard lines that Cody has for himself and his growth weren't really on the table moving forward at AEW because of the big names coming in.

It makes sense. Cody's gotta go back to WWE and prove himself as a main eventer so he can come back to AEW and be a "real Champion". It's like no matter where he goes he's just not "the top guy" even if he was writing the show himself!

Also, fuck you Cody! You sonofabitch! You broke my heart!

Think this is my favorite take on that matter so far. Andy I think you’re right. I could easily see Cody getting a world title run in AEW in a heel or face run. But not anytime soon and prob not for quite a few years with how the current roster is set up.

Hangman likely drops it to MJF, who maybe drops it to Wardlow. That’s prob a good 1.5-2 years worth of booking given they’ve booked every champ with an at least 6 month reign. And even if Cody stayed and got a world title win in 2 years, you can’t predict what his fan support or momentum would be.

I’ll add that I really do wonder if Cody was dead fucking set on being a babyface instead of embracing the heel role the fans wanted. And that maybe that’s where things broke down and Cody decided to money on a bigger stage for a company that groomed him and is in desperate need of babyface main event talent.

If that was the reason, that’s another bummer. I like heel Cody.

Damian Rey 2.0 02-20-2022 02:09 AM

I think maybe the point of signing Christian was to have him wrestle semi regularly and build him up for programs when needed. I do think we get Christian v Jungle Boy at Double or Nothing, which I think would be the 1 year anniversary of JB eliminating Christian in the battle royal, where JB’s current push started.

XL 02-20-2022 07:35 AM

Tony should def book a show called New Years Eve Meltdown.

Yeah that is totally the story to go with and probably what is going on. It's just frustrating that Christian has to take a real far back seat for so long. He's a huge name and if used properly could be a huge asset. There just so many interesting matches that AEW can book for those big name talents and they just aren't getting those matches done very often, and it frustrates me.

Christian is one of my favorites ever. AEW has made me not care about his return after 7 years or so of being deprived.

TK hates black people and Canadians. Chris Jericho was born in New York and Kenny Omega is his token.

The current Phoenix of Rise Champion for Rise Wrestling went further regarding her feelings about the whole scenario and Tony Khan‘s comments after she was let go.

“I was like dude, you weren’t saying all that when you was smoking my weed,” Swole explained. “He said that we were friends and I was like — what gets me upset is that when someone says that you’re friends and like, of course, he has all the money in the world. He can buy all the shmizz he wants to but I’m gracious enough to give what I have in fellowship, break bread with you. I’m opening up my heart to you. You said that we’re friends. I called you, we’d text. It’s just upsetting because I thought that it was genuine and I’m a cancer [zodiac sign], I’m an emotional person and when I let people inside of my heart when I let people inside of my circle, my family, that’s important to me and for someone to break that line of trust is just — it’s unbelievable. It’s heartbreaking. Really it is because I thought we were friends. But damn.”

AEW’s social media partners accidentally burying their talent again by implying their talent has limited charisma. Threads are filled with people talking about AEW wrestlers with no charisma. :lol:

I’ve low-key thought the video game is going to be a major moment in the history of AEW. They’ve sunk a lot of money into it. Potentially, it could switch a lot of people onto AEW. BUT…

I’m of the opinion that Kenny Omega is an actual idiot. You can hear it as he talks to fans, or about Shibata’s headbutts or in his wrestling choices. But I figured he might actually know video games. But secretly I’ve always been suspicious he’s got no clue what he’s doing.

He’s just released a new interview talking about the game. It sounds…messy. A lot of non-information about it just being designed to be “fun.” And he basically outright says that it won’t be able to compete with WWE 2k in terms of graphics. I’m getting major Homer designing Herb’s car vibes.

Also, what the hell is the roster going to look like? AEW’s roster never stays static enough for it to be accurately represented in a game.

He’s a good pick! Might be a little high on strength though.

I imagine Cody Rhodes was probably a character they considered "safe" to heavily develop....

If you remove your bias for Omega and instead focus on the game, you could make better points.



So far, the game seems to play like the old school N64 wrestling games (No Mercy, WCW v NWO, etc.). If that is actually the case, that aspect alone will be enough to be a very successful game. Those games worked well because they were easy to play, and very fun to play.



Nintendo has shown that graphics are not the desire of every gamer, not even close. Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, for example, looks "okay" but not "good" by today's standards, or even when it was made.


In terms of it being compared to WWE games...... if it does indeed play like the games above, it will destroy any game WWE puts out. 2k22 is looking like "more of the same" with a few changes. In my gamer opinion, they shit the bed by only scanning a portion of their roster. When you have someone who has been scanned vs someone who hasn't, its is blatantly obvious and makes the product look worse.
