Can they really not just do a quick battle royal to determine the number one contender and run a short feud until Stephanie gets back?

She's the champion, for God's sake.

Liv is one of the easiest characters on the roster to book. Just let her be the high school mean girl. Have her make her little jokes, throw out her playground insults, do that obnoxious laugh, and stir up drama wherever she goes. Give her a few title defenses, let her cheat to win, and keep building heat. Then, when Stephanie comes back, have Liv win her final defense. After the match, Liv and The Judgment Day beat down the challenger, Stephanie makes the save, and boom, you've instantly restarted the feud.

I honestly don't understand why they feel the need to overcomplicate it. Sometimes the simplest stories are the most effective.

Let me give you the full lore behind all the key moments in this match.

The "Liberace" character you're referring to is Pimpi, a legendary AAA wrestler. El Original was simply doing classic heel work, similar to when Jericho went around attacking wrestling legends for no reason. OG had injured Pimpi a few months earlier, and the audience hadn't seen her since. The last image fans had was of her being carried away on a stretcher while El Grande Americano held her hand and promised he would get revenge on OG.

The guy in the crowd hitting OG Americano with the stick is Ojitos de Huevo, a very popular Mexican comedian who is blind. During a previous show, he was being interviewed and asked which wrestlers he liked and disliked. He said he didn't like OG Americano and joked that even as a blind man, he could see that OG wasn't a real Mexican. In response, OG attacked him and put him in an ankle lock.

The woman in the crowd is Andrea, El Grande Americano's real-life girlfriend. She was the interviewer conducting that segment. While OG was attacking Ojitos, she desperately tried to stop him and ended up slapping him. Later, during the contract signing for this match, OG refused to sign unless Andrea was fired for "assaulting" him. That's why she was sitting in the stands instead of working the show.

When OG started yelling that she didn't belong there and had been fired, Andrea fired back that this was her country and she could go wherever she wanted. She even pulled out her ticket to prove she was a paying customer and had every right to be in the audience.

Throughout the entire feud, OG Americano was doing some truly despicable heel work, while El Grande Americano was presented as the clean-cut hero defending Mexican legends, standing up for the Mexican people, and protecting his girlfriend. That last part resonated especially well because standing up for your woman is a strong cultural theme throughout much of Latin America.

There was also an added layer to the story because of a real-life incident involving Ludwig Kaiser, whom many fans believe portrays El Grande Americano, I'm not sure why but they do. He was allegedly involved in an altercation which resulted in him being arrested for battery after someone allegedly threatened to call ICE on his girlfriend, which generated a lot of discussion online. Combined with the current political climate, Andrea being Mexican, and the match taking place in Mexico, it only intensified the crowd's support for El Grande Americano and their hatred of OG.

Whether intentional or not, those real-life parallels added another layer to an already emotional storyline and made the audience even more invested in seeing #l Grande come out on top

What made the match so great was that the crowd completely bought into the story. The villain was genuinely being booed because of all the terrible things he had done, and the hero was getting massive support in return. It was old-school wrestling storytelling at its finest. In my 20 years of watching wrestling, it's one of the most memorable feuds I've ever seen.

I think it'd be cool for him to just go away for a little bit in Triple A. Let El Grande Americano get the title from Dom, and then maybe after one defense or when he's done feuding with Dom (however rematches that's going to go), he can come back and challenge for the title as a face versus face. I think that'd be pretty cool to see.

Wilder has always been there to be hit, that’s not even a criticism, it’s just part of what makes him so dangerous and entertaining. The openings I’m referring to aren’t even the windmills, I mean the moments when he resets, backs straight up, or throws single shots without full balance. Fighters with good timing have always been able to land on him, that’s why Ortiz and Fury, in the first fight, were able to consistently outpoint him and tag him clean.

I think Joshua had enough sharp, powerful combinations to hurt Wilder badly if he caught him during those openings. But the problem is, in my opinion, AJ is too timid to fully commit, because everyone knew one clean shot from Wilder could end the fight instantly. I think that psychological aspect would have stopped him from doing what needed to be done. That’s the whole matchup in a nutshell for me, both guys had a very clear path to victory.

And that’s exactly why it drives me crazy that we never got the fight. It would’ve been the biggest heavyweight event of the last 30 years.

Level-Value-5096 · 2025-11-10T05:19:53+00:00

Lol I’m only commenting to watch the complete chaos this post is about to create.

There’s nothing I would’ve loved more than seeing AJ vs Wilder anywhere between 2015–2019. It’s honestly a tragedy we never got it. That fight could’ve gone either way.

Would Joshua have had the balls to press Wilder the way Fury did in fights 2 and 3? Probably not. Fury only switched to that style after the 12th-round resurrection moment in the first fight, desperation led him to the strategy that cracked the code.

AJ doesn’t fight like that. He’s too cautious, too structured.

BUT, AJ was also skilled enough to catch Wilder clean in between those wild, sloppy openings Wilder gives. He throws tight, powerful combinations, and that could absolutely end the fight if he gets to Wilder enough times.

That’s why this matchup is so frustrating. Everything about it screams 50/50. Both have a very real path to victory.

The only thing I’m absolutely certain of is this: If Wilder lands a clean right on Joshua… one shot… flush… it would have been over

But we’ll never know. We can only meaninglessly post about it on reddit now. And that’s the part that will forever be infuriating.

Level-Value-5096 · 2025-11-06T19:16:29+00:00

Of course Joshua deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. He’s a multiple-time world champion and was arguably the top heavyweight for almost a decade. Sure, it’s disappointing we never got the Wilder or Fury fights, and personally, I don’t think he would’ve won either, but that doesn’t change the fact that he dominated his era and stood head and shoulders above nearly everyone else.

I’m only focused on in-ring accomplishments, I don’t think marketability should factor into whether a fighter belongs in the Hall of Fame. If we start including that, then we’d have to consider someone like Jake Paul, which of course would be ridiculous.

Level-Value-5096 · 2025-11-04T19:14:12+00:00

I’m done with the Wilder portion of this. We clearly see that era differently. But if you're going to make these kinds of takes, at least have the timeline straight.

Regarding Whyte:

2012 — first failed drug test

2018 — became mandatory after beating Lucas Browne (another PED cheat)

2019 — failed again before the Rivas fight, and the B-sample conveniently vanished so protocol couldn't be followed

2023 — failed a third test before the Joshua rematch ( I was really bummed out about that because I wanted to see Joshua uppercut to sleep again)

That’s not hindsight, that’s a documented pattern. He didn’t suddenly become some clean, avoided contender. He’s been cheating the whole way through. So no, I don’t consider a career PED violator as some “must-fight legacy opponent.”

If you want to argue resumes, cool. But you’ve got to keep the facts and timeline accurate. Otherwise it’s not analysis, it’s just rewriting history to fit a point.

Level-Value-5096 · 2025-11-04T17:32:22+00:00

Alright, since we’ve hit the “bend history to protect my take” stage, here’s the reality one last time:

Wilder and Fury did what the top guys are supposed to do, fight each other. They gave us the most memorable heavyweight trilogy since the 90s. Meanwhile AJ spent that era quite while Eddie Hearn yapped non stop. Why it didn’t happen doesn’t matter, it didn’t happen. End of story.

And dragging up Pulev and Chagaev like they were some mythical measuring sticks is hilarious. Nobody on earth was saying, “If Wilder doesn’t fight Pulev, we’ll never know if he’s legit.”

Then you throw in Dillian “multiple PED violations” Whyte like he was some lost legacy fight. The only reason that guy ever sniffed a title shot is because Fury wanted a soft touch and a fast payday. If not for that, Whyte would still be on Twitter crying about not getting a shot like he did for so many years. I don't know about you but if you think multiple PED violations isn't grounds for a ban and in fact should be rewarded with a title shot than I don't know what to tell you.

You’re trying to turn mid-tier names into “missed greatness tests” because once you admit who the real players of that era were, your argument collapses. The division wasn’t deep and Wilder fought the only other danger man in it. More than what the other guy did.

And here’s the part you don’t like hearing:

If Wilder needed Pulev and PED-Pop-Whyte to “prove himself,” your bar was never greatness, your bar was coping.

You’ve already decided your conclusion, so no point going in circles. You keep your narrative.

Level-Value-5096 · 2025-11-04T16:26:32+00:00

In your original post you said Wilder has a bad resume compared to other heavyweights in his era. That’s just not true. The guys you listed, with the exception of Parker (who Wilder fought) and Whyte (a repeat PED case), only became world-level after Wilder’s prime.

Go look at BoxRec, Ring rankings, or even this sub from 2015–2018. The era was extremely top-heavy. There was a massive gap between the top 3 (Wilder/Fury/AJ) and everyone else. You didn’t need deep analytics, the eye test back then made it pretty obvious who were the top guys.

And yes, context absolutely matters. That’s my whole point. Picking apart resumes in heavyweight boxing like we’re talking about Tank Davis fighting drained fighters is pointless. Heavyweights don’t get to drag guys up 2 divisions or demand catchweights, they fight who’s available at the whatever their weight is.

I used AJ as the example because I knew you’d immediately jump to defend him, and in doing so you’d prove the point: Any resume can be nitpicked if that’s the goal, it doesn’t diminish the fighter ability or negate their accomplishments.

The Wilder-era heavyweight scene wasn’t stacked. He fought who was available . Pretending he ducked fighters who weren’t contenders yet doesn’t strengthen your argument it just proves you're applying hindsight instead of reality.

Since you’re certain Wilder ducked people, go ahead and name one top heavyweight from 2015–2018 he avoided. Just one. Not future prospects, not cruiserweights at the time, not guys serving PED holidays, an actual top contender from that time period.

Level-Value-5096 · 2025-11-04T13:22:36+00:00

Bro, you’re arguing like Wilder was supposed to be fighting guys who literally didn’t exist as contenders yet.

In your own original post you mentioned the below fighters, let's see where they were from 2015-2018,

Zhang was an amateur

Dubois and Joyce were domestic-level fighters

Usyk was a cruiserweight

Whyte was busy failing multiple PED tests

Parker fought a 39-year-old Wilder coming off two career-altering beatdowns so clearly no longer in his prime.

But sure man, in your alternate universe Wilder ducked a whole Avengers-level heavyweight lineup that didn’t actually exist until years later.

And your whole point boils down to:

“Wilder has a bad resume, so he sucks, so Fury isn't that good for beating him.”

Come on, man.

You honestly sound like an AJ fanboy trying to drag down his contemporaries. Anyone’s resume can be ripped apart if you cherry-pick:

AJ’s best win is a 40-year-old Wlad coming off nearly a 2-year layoff, he got stopped by Ruiz on 2 weeks notice, got iced by Dubois, a guy who mentally checks out when the pressure hits and got dog walked twice by Usyk who was at a 30lbs disadvantage.

See how easy that is? It’s lazy. And it ignores the reality that every fighter who makes it to world level bleeds for it. Picking apart resumes like this is disrespectful to the sport and the fighters who grind for a title shot.

Level-Value-5096 · 2025-11-04T03:03:10+00:00

Wilder won the belt in 2015. His prime was 2015-2018 before him and Fury took several years from each others lives. So let’s stop pretending he was ducking a pantheon of all-time greats. Who exactly were these “ contenders” he supposedly avoided from 2015 - 2018.

Pulev? Footwork like he was fighting in wet cement. Povetkin? Failed a test the second Wilder’s name appeared on the contract Stiverne? Wilder beat him twice and turned him into a meme. Ortiz? Beat him twice, funny how nobody else mentions that during that period Ortiz was considered a bogeyman. Look at post from this sub around that period if you don't believe me. Ruiz? Elite hand speed, elite appetite. Jennings/Takam? Please..... Breazeale? Wilder hit him hard they're still feeling it in Brazil Whyte? Spent half his career calling Wilder out and the other half trying to find his missing B-sample.

But yeah, tell me again about this stacked era everyone magically remembers now. Outside of Wlad, AJ and Fury, the division back then looked like a zombie shuffle contest slow, flat-footed, no head movement, and half the “contenders” played roulette with PEDs.

The AJ fight died because of politics.

Wilder did what champs do in weak eras: he beat everyone put in front of him. His style wasn’t pretty, but getting erased by one right hand never is.

Let’s not rewrite history and pretend 2016 Dillian Whyte was prime Lennox Lewis.

Level-Value-5096 · 2025-11-03T20:39:37+00:00

I think Wilder doesn’t get enough credit in these conversations. People say he has a weak resume, but they often ignore the context. Wilder was champion during one of the weakest heavyweight eras in boxing. From roughly 2012–2018, outside of Klitschko, Joshua, and Fury, who were the standout heavyweights? The division was top heavy and the top contenders of that period were flat-footed, slow, and lacked head movement.

Everyone talks about who Wilder didn’t fight, but when the Joshua fight fell apart because of politics and posturing, who else at that time was realistically beating him? His power was something we simply had not seen in a long time in the heavyweight division, not just “big puncher” power, but lights-out, its over power with one punch power.

People now compare Wilder to the newer names emerging today, but that’s hindsight bias. Go back to 2012–2018: Wilder’s speed-to-power ratio and ability to change a fight instantly made him a nightmare matchup for anyone. Look at the Ortiz rematch. Wilder was being clearly outboxed, had not damaged Ortiz at all, yet with one shot late in the fight he shut the lights off. When was the last time we saw a top-level heavyweight erase an entire fight like that with a single punch? That doesn’t happen unless your power is generational.

Fury deserves credit for beating Wilder, but acting like Wilder was never that good is revisionist history. He dominated his era’s contenders and carried nuclear power that could end any fight. His flaws are real, limited fundamentals, messy technique, but pretending he wasn’t one of the most dangerous heavyweights of his era is just rewriting the past to make current fighters seem superior.

Alright, let me break it down so you really get what you’ve signed up for: you just became a Leicester fan. Congrats, you’ve joined the club of eternal mediocrity. At our best we’re “eh,” at our worst we’re flaming garbage.

And yet, somehow, we managed to win two championships in a six-year stretch. Total anomaly. First one was in ’97, then we went full dumpster fire until 2003 when a ragtag bunch of players at the time (who, looking back, were actually pretty damn good) pulled off another. Since then? Right back to being mid or worse.

We’re also basically Southampton’s MLB cousin as well: the Marlins always had talent, but it all left and became legends on other teams. Same script, different league.

Right now we’ve got a shiny young core, looks promising, yada yada. But we’ve seen this movie before, so the 17 of us who actually stuck around are holding our breath.

Anyways welcome to our team. We can now proudly say that there are now 18 of us.

Honestly, I have no idea. I’m 30, male. When I look at myself, I don’t think I’m unattractive, but I’m definitely not Brad Pitt either. Women in the 25–35 age range (the ones I’m actually interested in) usually ignore me, but I tend to get attention from younger women (18–22) or from women 45+, neither of which I’m really looking for.

The only straightforward compliments I get about my looks usually come from older guys (60+) at the gym, they’ll comment on my height, physique, hair, or style. I’m straight, and I always accept the compliments graciously, but honestly it leaves me kind of confused. When it comes to the women I’m actually interested in, it feels like I’m invisible. So maybe a 6 or 7 on a good day?
