Interesting morning for wrestling news. Not only is Hiroshi Tanahashi the new President of New Japan (NJPW) but All Japan Professional Wrestling (AJPW) has struck an working agreement with WWE/NXT. Crazy shit! Nick Khan/Triple H opening up the Forbidden Door of WWE. Next step get a working agreement with Stardom.

It's not too surprising. HHH envisioned NXT being a global brand in different markets. The UK version didn't work out the first time, but I can see them revisiting it.

I think HHH is just as big of a wrestling fan as Tony Kahn, except he doesn't wear his on his sleeve like Kahn does and HHH actually knows the business.

He needed a fresh start. He and Brandy had so many bad segments that you would think Vince was writing for him. Not turning heel is a screw you if you're not moving Cena levels of merch.

Honestly, having Brandy around in all those cringe-ass segments was the death of Cody in AEW.
I'm not sure even turning heel there would have saved him.
I'm hoping they keep Brandy far away from Cody in WWE although I thought I heard she was seen training at the PC.

As opposed to what that's actually working in AEW right now?
You still need babyfaces in wrestling, whether they are "goody two shoes" babyfaces or babyfaces with a little edge.

In today's age it's all about tweeners. Meaning at any point in time a person can turn good or bad depending on the story or circumstance. All the main event talent in AEW with the exception of Jay White are tweener types.

MJF
Kenny Omega
Jon Moxley
Hangman Page
Bryan Danielson
Adam Cole
Will Ospreay
Chris Jericho

Everyone can't be a heel. That's everyone's go-to crutch whenever a character change is suggested.

You're right not everyone can be a heel but that old 80's Hogan pure babyface model is outdated. Just be a tweener.

XXXplosive said:
Cody didn't want to turn heel in AEW like the fans wanted because he knows AEW fans especially are very fickle and only live in the now rather than planning anything long-term.

No, they just want something that comes off relatable instead of phony Tony Robbins speak. That's why the fans cheer and relate so much to Eddie Kingston.
 
Now that Triple H is in control of who gets into the WWE Hall of Fame, it's time to put these names in there that are long overdue.

Chyna
Bull Nakano
Dynamite Kid
Bam Bam Bigelow
Miss Elizabeth
Lex Luger
Bryan Pillman
Jim Johnston
Midnight Express w/Jim Cornette
Earl Hebner
Scott Steiner
Sid Vicious

I hope not I mean maybe a different angle can work but what they tried to do in AEW was dreadful.

My story lines I would like to see over the next 6 months

Where is AJ Styles?
How does Cody feel about the return of CM Punk?
Let AJ/Seth/Cody/CM Punk feud until Wrestlemania. Cody comes out on top looking like the strong Babyface to battle Roman at Wrestlemania
They need Santos Escobar to call up Humberto/Angel Garza and form LWO-Wolfpack.

Call up Melo and have him join Lashley and the Street Profits with Jade Cargill ad the female of the crew and call the stable Black Reign and put belts on them to challenge the Judgment Day.

Have Bayley turn face had a feud with the four Horsewoman vs Damage Control. (Bianca is the Lex Luger version).
All three are jealous of Bianca and the will eventually turn on her. Montez Ford send Jade out to help her. This introduces Jade into the spolight with the big girls. She comes face to face with Queen Charolette. Setting up a Wrestlemania showdown. The Horsewoman vs Bianca/Jade still outnumbered out comes the return of Sasha Banks who is torn but sides with her Sisters.
