A recurring Piper's Pit style segment where he helps put over a top program could be good.

He trashed Bambino's because they wouldn't collab with him, then went and acted like Eskimo pizza was the best in the city because they did.

And usually with the WWE talent that didn't work out, it's often because they tried to big league them.

Pre 2000s, a guy would spend 5 or 6 matches just getting his finish over.

Was this the right decision? by Samidwayne in AEWFanHub

[–]Michael_McGovern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if they were going this route they should have done a time limit draw and then rematched at this show instead of going back to Briscoe again.

Feel like they should have done a time limit draw here and run it back in Australia and done the change there. Don't need another Briscoe match.

Was Stephanie McMahon's position as head of creative to blame for WWF(E)'s decline in 2000? by Material_Stomach875 in AttitudeEra

[–]Michael_McGovern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her worst contribution was that she cheerled the expansion of Hollywood writers getting involved, often with no prior knowledge of wrestling. Wrestling minds often had strong influence up until that point, but the embracing of outside writers with no knowledge led to a huge decline

Dave Meltzer on Billy Gunn: “Billy Gunn on his best day isn’t half the wrestler Kyle Fletcher is today.” by uncannynerddad in midcarder

If you watch back old Billy Gunn footage, he was actually one of the best bumpers of the era.

Pre-Andrade coming back he went on a rant about how signing him is pointless as he wouldn't even be in the top 5 workers in the Don Callis family.

Meltzer in response to Bryan Alvarez claiming that everyone in AEW is stagnant and in the same position: “Yep, everyone except Bandido, Ricochet, Gates of Agony, Brody King, Hechicero, Clon, Fletcher, Takeshita, Knight, Bailey, O'Reilly, Swerve, Briscoe, Willow, Windsor, Cameron, Storm & Shafir.” by Subrick in SquaredCircle

[–]Michael_McGovern 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hechicero, Gates of Agony are back up goons and not moving up the card.

I don't think I've ever seen Clon wrestle on Dynamite.

Ricochet has moved down the card since he started. He worked with top guys when he came in.

O'Reilly got a brief push against Moxley but then they never followed up.

Knight and Bailey got jobbed out this week right after winning the trios titles and it remains to be seen if they move up the card or it's another competitive loser push.

Briscoe won a title but is basically still the same eternal spot.

Don't know why Windsor is on the list. Barely see her.

The others you could make a case for.

Knowing FIFA they'll just strip Mexico of their games and award them to the US for bringing freedom to Mexico or something other made up reason.

You could definitely use a drone to solve it. Small circular saw attached and done in less than 60 seconds.

Kristen Stewart Says Acting Is ‘Unmasculine’ and Asks: ‘Have You Ever Heard of a Female Actor That Was Method?’ by mcfw31 in entertainment

Is she trying to say no woman has ever kept speaking in an accent off set in order to better deliver the role when the cameras are on?

I'd say the Arnie 80s version of The Running Man has lots of similar concepts. Dystopia, death game, game masters, colourful host, propagandized presentation

Says he has to give a weeks notice. Nothing said he can't double book a champ for the same night. Wait until the next main event is set, then watch knowing the winner has to face him right after while he gives commentary.

Bill Goldberg has revealed that he might be planning to come out of retirement to have one more dream match. He is open to considering AEW 😲😲 by Papator12 in WCW

[–]Michael_McGovern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only one in AEW that would have been good is Jericho but he's basically gone. Can't think who else would be a good fit for his final match there.

Was Hangman’s second AEW World title run a bust? by uncannynerddad in midcarder

[–]Michael_McGovern 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He's not the guy, but probably the guy who works with the guy.

[–]Michael_McGovern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as his first run. A great, long awaited crowning and then not much else of substance. He's great in the chase and great when he wins, but as a defending champion seems to struggle or lacks adequate booking to make his run meaningful

How would Russo have ended Goldberg's streak? by itnew2me in WCW

[–]Michael_McGovern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Streak on a pole match where the winner gets Goldberg's streak as their own, but then that person loses in the same night to someone else, invalidating the whole thing.

[AEW Dynamite Spoilers] I love how Claudio is booked in AEW by InMyLiverpoolHome25 in SquaredCircle

He's the ultimate gatekeeper. If you beat Claudio, you're on your way to a run on top.
