To me it reeks of desperation to try and create controversy, but I doubt it's going to help ratings. I guess they're finally doing "long-term" storylines, especially if Omega gets involved, just not a good one.

The Bucks could create an angle as hot as Austin vs. McMahon and you'd still #### on it because you hate the Bucks.

Also how can you say Perry isn't over? Did you even watch the show last night? He was getting very loud "scapegoat" and "cry me a river chants, same as he has been during his NJPW run in the U.S.

Meanwhile they have Swerve their new world champion as the curtain jerker as he barely wins his first match. I saw someone mentioned he should have closed the show, with some kind of celebration... but nope, the Bucks get that spot.

Again, do you actually watch the product or just read recaps? They have done this with essentially every world champion of the last few years. The title match goes on first to pop the ratings. I vehemently disagree with that tactic because I'm old school, but it's not like it's a brand new thing.

Then even worse they're putting Ospreay up for a midcard belt? I know everyone in AEW has a belt, but Ospreay is your golden goose. It feels the same as Mone going for a midcard title. If they wanted Ospreay to stay away from Swerve why not have him beat Copeland instead?

This I can agree with. I also think Roddy is a good champion. I'm hoping it's a swerve where the Callis family turns on Ospreay and costs him the belt. Either way, they've booked themselves into a corner because Ospreay has already run through the entire family.

quote]The Mox match was terrible as well. Yet another title on AEW. They merged some titles, but replaced them with new ones. Now we're at the point where nearly every match has a title on the line.[/quote]

It's not a new title. It's the NJPW HW title. If you want to bitch about that, take it up with NJPW. They clearly wanted an American to hold the belt during their U.S. tour and will probably have him hold it until Forbidden Door of NJPW Dominion. It completely makes sense for NJPW to have Mox run up some wins in the U.S. to build him up as a credible champion for the next Japanese wrestler to take it from him.

Someone said maybe the Bucks angle is to get Tony away from booking. That would be the best scenario. He is a clown. Kinda ironic how Goldberg is one of his favorite wrestlers, meanwhile Bill wants nothing to do with AEW.

Where are you getting this ####? Find me the quote where TK said Goldberg is one of his favourite restaurants. He already said months ago he and Goldberg were friends but he wasn't really interested in bringing Goldberg in. Also sounds like Goldberg thinks he's worth a lot more $ than he actually is. It's not like WWE are beating down the door to bring him back either.

Oh and you actually have Jericho leaning into the negative things Cornette has said against him? Do they actually think that's going to work? Yet another weird angle with the wrong kind of heat. Which is sad considering Jericho was one of the most over people in wrestling for the better part of 20 years. Now people want him to go away forever.

Even the crowd is sick of Jericho. There were very loud "please retire" and "Fozzy sucks" chants at Dynasty. The crowd last night, which was generally hot for everything, completely died during that segment.
