I was hoping to see him become the second coming of Flying Brian/Loose Cannon Brian Pillman. Definitely needs work, but needs the right people around him.

AEW had a golden opportunity to push him and capitalize off the buzz that the 'Dark Side of the Ring' on his dad generated.
But they pissed it away and did nothing with him.
If I'm WWE, I sign him and put him through additional training and NXT to get him more experience.

Yeah. He would be a great addition to NXT and if he were to hone his craft there, he could make a name for himself higher on the card.

When you have second generation wrestlers on your roster, especially one whose father was so popular, half the work is done. Crazy that AEW didn’t do much to capitalize on him.

Exactly.
Half the battle with a new talent getting over with the fans is just getting them to know who the hell you are and to care about you and your character.
Both of his parents died tragically at a young age and his father was one of the most (in)famous wrestlers of the past 30 years.
The 'Dark Side of the Ring' documentary shed new light on him and his family for young and old fans alike.
He had a lot of sympathy from wrestling fans around that time and AEW should have used that moment to give him a push as a sympathetic babyface.
Instead they kept him in that stupid "Varsity Blonds" (the fact they couldn't spell the word "Blondes" correctly always bothered me) tag team with Griff Whatshisface and Julia Hart and only gave him one promo in his hometown of Cincinnati.
Not saying they should have given him a shot at the World Title or anything, but they could have at least given them a shot at the tag titles.

He should have been a solid lower midcarder instead of being stuck in a tag team no one cared about.

No way Anna Jay should have been out in the first round. I would argue she has a top-3 ass in the game right now.

Kiera Hogan should have won by a landslide.

I follow that reddit page, and I saw when they started the tournament and waited to see how it played out. I was shaking my head plenty of times during the rounds. Especially the Anna Jay/Tay and Naomi/Tay rounds. Tay's fine as fuck, but her ass over Naomi's and Anna's. And Kiera not going to the semi's at least?! Naw bruh. But with that voter base, they did what I expected them to do. And I'm not mad that Gigi won (there's just something bout that bitch mayne), even though it could easily went to someone else.
 
The rumor is as apart of AEW's new rights deal WBD executives want AEW to expand their ppv schedule. So right now they have ...

Revolution
Double Or Nothing
Forbidden Door
All Out
Full Gear

I would make "All In" an annual ppv in London.
Turn "Blood And Guts" into a ppv. Stop giving away this shit on cable TV.
Bring back "Stadium Stampede" and turn that into a ppv.

Also if I'm TK I want that HBO Max streaming deal as apart of the new rights package.

Thought y'all might get a kick out of this. They were doing a "best ass in wrestling" tournament. The bracket is on the last slide. Here's how it played out...

Nah, Kiera and Trinity definitely should've been in the Final Four.

Leila Grey also should've been in the bracket somewhere.

Soon as I saw Zelina make the second round, I knew this shit was invalid. She don't have that kinda ass.
 
My Top 10 for 2023 thus far.

1. Tam Nakano (Won both the red and white belt in Stardom the highest level of women's professional wrestling.)
2. Athena (Has had an incredible run as the ROH Women's Champion. Has put the entire division on her back.)
3. Giulia (Became a Trios champion in Stardom and recently defeated Willow to become the NJPW Strong Women's Champion.)
4. Mina Shirakawa (Won the white belt earlier this year, dropped it to Tam Nakano and is now a Tag Champion with Mariah May.)
5. Rhea Ripley (Defeated Charlotte Flair to become the SmackDown Women's Champion now known as the Women's World Championship and has had a few successful title defenses.)
6. Willow Nightingale (Became the 1st ever NJPW Strong Women's Champion by defeating Mercedes Moné and in general has had the run of her career.)
7. Jamie Hayter (Decent run as AEW women's champion with multiple title defenses until she got hurt)
8. Asuka (Defeated Bianca Belair to become the Raw Women's Champion now known as the WWE Women's Championship. Has only had one weak title defense since then.)
9. Mayu Iwatani (Defeated Mercedes Moné to be the IWGP Women's Champion but hasn't defended it once since.)
10. Mercedes Moné (Was having a good run until she got hurt.)


 
I’m actually watching Dynamite tonight (hell froze over) and man, WTF are they doing to MJF?

All the talk about him being ruined if he ever went to WWE and here he is on AEW doing these corny unfunny skits with Adam Cole? He’s such a talented promo and they have him in an over produced segment at a bar and playing video games.

He may need to follow Cody to get some of his shine back. Even Orange Cassidy is looking better onscreen at the moment.
