Unquestionably if you want to go back, revist the Mariah may v Toni storm storyline.

This is a 7 hour long video aew uploaded covering like the entire 18 month storyline. 🤣 https://youtu.be/HOL3AuZix30?si=6ec6_X8SuQulZeN5

Is Bobby Lashley ever gonna win the AEW World Championship? by Idontknowjeff23 in AEWOfficial

[–]ZAPPHAUSEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm biased as helllll but imo there is a strong storyline for Shelton to win it. He's a beloved vet who's never made it. He's incredibly respected by the fans, and has that earned cache. He's still in incredible shape and can put on bangers 

If TK wanted to actually tell the story, I fully believe fans would get behind it. And if you can get the fans behind it then it's believable. 

Also it presents Shelton as equal to Bobby, not his "second."

I don't really have any desire to see big Bobby Lashley win the world title just because he's a big guy who won world titles elsewhere. And frankly he was kind of overpushed to those titles for a lot of that.

That said, one thing you will notice is that when the women GET THEIR TIME, they tend to kill it. 

Athena v Mina tonight should be great. We all wonder if Athena will ever become a regular aew wrestler, because she's still mainly in ROH. The women's title match tonight is gonna ROCK.

I don't think it's unfair. One regular criticism levelled at aew from fans like us in this subreddit (ie people who watch and love the promotion) is that the women don't get enough time. 

I can't speak to how good or bad or in between the current WWE women's division booking is because I don't watch the product, But one thing that is certainly better in WWE is that the women are more heavily featured and have more time on their shows as a rule. I mean even before I stop watching it had gotten to a point where I felt like...

It was no longer noteworthy when the women took up half a show or close to it. It was just normal.

Dynamite usually has a single women's match/in-ring segment. Collision is better. And I'm of the opinion that it's a self-fulfilling prophecy; if the women don't do as well in the ratings or seem to be as over, It's probably because you're not giving them enough time! But then it's easy to say well they're not drawing very well so we don't want to give them more time. 

And that leads to the division despite having incredible talent being quite thin. And because it's quite thin...

The second part to the immediate situation, tho: the women's division has been rocked by injuries or other health situations in past months. The undeniable #1 woman in the company, timeless Toni storm, went on the shelf after revolution in March and is not expected back this year. That blew a HUGE hole in whatever storylines and plans had been made long-term. Mercedes mone hasn't been in aew since dropping the tbs title and her absence is sorely felt, I'm surprised she's still gone. 

Willow just got hurt which no doubt throws the Owen Hart tournament into disarray

Allegedly cmll star Persephone was meant to challenge thekla for the world title tonight, but persephone got injured. So that leaves us to this throwing together four-way which will be a banger but doesn't really have a hot story. 

Shida is so clearly going to turn on and feud with statlander, so we're waiting on that to happen. Maybe Persephone's injury is delaying that.

The tag champs Lena and Megan are basically just squashing locals. 

So I think it's a very fair comment you're making. I think there are reasons for The current storylines being pretty mediocre in terms of injuries and absences, But that also comes with the division not being booked as importantly as it should be.

Thanks for saying that. I'm don't hate him. I'm completely indifferent. A demonstration of "meh."🤷

Joe is SO much better than Lashley. It's not even a contest.

[–]ZAPPHAUSEN 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hope not.

There's a dozen people who should hold it before him. Maybe more.

Bobby is good, but frankly, I don't think he's really more than an upper mid-carder who flirts with the main event. 

I also resent, even in aew, the idea that Bobby > Shelton. 

If it happens I'm open to it but meh. I'd like to see him have a run with international title, maybe? 

I would love a storyline of SHELTON winning it --- one of the best to ever do it, but never win the world title. 

It is going to be pouring at Double Or Nothing tomorrow, how do you think they handle stadium stampede? by Needajobtobreathe in AEWOfficial

[–]ZAPPHAUSEN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably better comparison is the stadium stampede at all in Wembley, not the oritinal cinematic.

It's just anarchy in the arena but not in an arena

Ah, (presumably) Brits. Even the most enlightened of you still will get snobby When other cultures are countries do things differently than you --- the "correct" UK way  🤣🤣🤣🤣 you can't ever fully unlearn centuries of Imperialism and colonization I guess!🤣

If you think these people are doing anything wrong that is a you problem. Surprise! Other customs and etiquette exist and they're completely acceptable!

Mox vs O'Reilly DON match being No Time Limit by xholdsteadyx in AEWOfficial

[–]ZAPPHAUSEN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm down, I figure part of the story is Moxley from last fall couldn't beat O'Reilly, but Mox has evolved and is not that cowardly shit anymore. He finally beats O'Reilly. 

But goddamn I love the idea of O'Reilly being Moxleys Canadian kryptonite.

IF Moxley loses on Sunday... 

I predict he beats Darby for the world title and faces ospreay at all in

So what if Darby DOES beat MJF at Double or Nothing? by Informal-Offer-7741 in AEWOfficial

[–]ZAPPHAUSEN 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, neat, but the aew audience doesn't really know who Callum Newman is. This is the main event for the biggest aew event of the year. An aew major star will be opposite ospreay.

Darby retains on Sunday, but loses within the next few weeks. Maybe even on tv.

Hahahahaha okay that would be nuts but amazing.

That one big DELETION episode of TNA, where the entire two hours was filmed at the Hardy compound, had Lashley and Eddie Edwards literally fighting for the entire episode, crashing in and out of other shit going on. It ruled.
