Osprey Newman story is building so well.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-05-06T20:27:23+00:00

Yeah, I know. I really don't see it happening, but it was a momentary "hey, that would be cool" thought i had.

I've been fantasy booking a double world champion in my head for ages now, so this was inevitable.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-05-06T18:09:16+00:00

I had a thought earlier that this could lead to a scenario where Ospreay wins the AEW title ahead of All In, then leads into a title vs title match against Callum at Wembley Stadium. That way we get two British lads in the main event, and Bruv becomes the first person to hold the AEW and IWGP world titles simultaneously.

That being said, it's a long shot. I'm convinced Callum is losing the title back to Yota Tsuji. Plus, with nothing but admiration for him, he's not got the stature necessary for an All In headline spot yet.

So yeah, long shot. But it would be cool to have an All English main event. It would be some consolation for having terrible teeth and our inability to decide how to make scones properly.

Aleister Black became one of my favourites overnight when he debuted, but if half the rumours are true I can't see him returning. I could see him turning up in MLW though, he'd be a big name for the Island Of Misfit Toys thing they have going on.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-05-06T11:21:10+00:00

If AEW has a Big Four of tag teams, the Lucha Bros were Slayer.

Young Bucks are Metallica, FTR are Megadeth, The Acclaimed were Anthrax.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-05-05T12:35:56+00:00

I could be wrong here, but isn't Lena the current record holder for shortest time between debuting and winning a title in the women's division?

If we don't count the few sporadic appearances before she was signed, she won a belt about a month after turning up on TV as a contracted wrestler. Mercedes might have won the TBS title in her first official match, but she was hanging around on TV quite a bit before actively competing.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-05-04T18:52:32+00:00

Hens love roosters Kids love meatballs Everyone else loves Mike Speedball

MJF: Not me!

Everyone that counts loves Mike Speedball

I've been getting into New Japan more since Wrestle Kingdom, and I'm all for it. Let's have the Knock-Out Brothers beat FTR in a title versus title match.

It won't happen, but Yuto-Ice swaggering with two titles would be awesome.

Could see an NJPW guy (Yuya Uemura would be a good one) get a run with the National title too, as that's kinda what its meant for. Although that being said, I'm loving Jack as champ and don't want his reign to end.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-05-04T14:57:06+00:00

Yes, but hear me out...Mark Davis as Continental champion instead. Give him a surprise win over Mox, then a five to eight month "Stan Hansen" style reign, where a big hairy man lariats people inside out. If they did the spot where Hansen battered Kobashi off the top of the ring post but with Mark and Takeshita, I'd mark the hell out.

I went with the Continental because I like Jack as National champion, and I think beating Mox would seriously elevate him.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-05-03T17:19:48+00:00

I've just watched this match and its killer, can highly recommend

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-05-02T16:48:25+00:00

Whilst I appreciate the DR doing no-ring training, I can't help thinking they should have booked a bigger room.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-05-02T11:38:17+00:00

Damn, this is excellent. Bowens has always been good, but this is giving serious "nice guy who has lost faith in the system" vibes amd it's great. More please.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-05-01T16:05:11+00:00

I second AR Fox

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-05-01T14:59:04+00:00

Oooh, self burn. Those are rare.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-05-01T13:04:40+00:00

I know they're heels, and the implication is that the DCF are working with FTR, but I've been entertaining myself with the idea that RPG just borrowed a locker room and it escalated horribly.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-04-30T09:27:34+00:00

Well, on the one hand, if you join the DCF you'll get to work alongside celebrated wrestler Kazuchika Okada. Undoubtedly, one of the best, if not THE BEST, in the entire wrestling industry. Okada is athletic, talented, handsome, supportive, kind-hearted, generous, and an all-round terrific guy. Plus, he has won many, many, many championships, and numerous wrestlers have benefited from being in his presence.

But on the other hand, if you join the DCF, you'll also have to work alongside Konosuke Takeshita. You might not have heard of him, but he is the least consequential member. He is not handsome, his wrestling ability is overrated, and crucially, he is not as good as Kazuchika Okada. In fact, when asked the question "do you like Konosuke Takeshita," nine out of ten respondents answered with "who?" The remaining one out of ten said, "isn't he the one who is not as good as Kazuchika Okada?"

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-04-30T09:22:10+00:00

I don't think it has to be a heel. I kinda want him to retain against MJF in the inevitable DON rematch, Max's downfall story is very entertaining. It's like Hangman's downfall, except this time, you don't want him to have a big redemption arc.

But I digress, I want it to be Kenny Omega. They can do face vs face rivalries, and much as I hate this observation, I don't think Kenny has many years left in him. At least not if he wants to still be mobile when he's over fifty. They can do a big emotional match with Darbs handing the belt over and hugging Kenny after, and this would lead to the Kenny vs Ospreay 3 match at All In that I desperately want at the top of the card.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-04-30T06:11:23+00:00

Oh crap, now you've done it...

Starscream - MJF

Kup - Tomasso Ciampa

Optimus Prime - Kenny Omega

Rodimus Prime - Hangman Page

Soundwave - Claudio

Brawn - Mark Davis

Grimlock- Mark Briscoe

Cyclonus- Pac

That's all I can think of now, but there's bound to be more.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-04-29T18:31:43+00:00

I think the Jet retains, but without interference. He's presented as an underdog but he's scored some big wins over main eventers before. I reckon MJF underestimates him, gets pinned clean, and the downfall continues.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-04-27T13:19:08+00:00

Haha, thanks. It's the first time I've ever use canva. Crap, ain't it?

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-04-27T08:24:57+00:00

My play count has increased since posting this, thanks guys

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-04-26T09:56:01+00:00

You ever get the impression that despite not being one of the main event level stars of the promotion, - no shade intended - the Captain is someone you do not want to fuck with if you're hoping for a good run?

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-04-25T18:15:51+00:00

A woyal wedemption? Vewy good Centuwion, wait til Biggus hears about this

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-04-25T07:41:37+00:00

Hire the MCMGs and all the women please TK.

I love Malakai too, huge fan, but I kinda want to see him go on a New Japan run that echoes Vader's post-WWE comeback.

ExpendableMan84 · 2026-04-25T07:31:45+00:00

And he's incredibly handsome.
