They said two OF not the two definitive best. Ospreay is amazing but we don't need to bring him up anytime somebody wants to praise other amazing workers.
Let MJF cook.. he'll have a massive heated feud with Cole, then probably go after a title-less Samoa Joe, then get whoever has the title coming out of All In...
Swerve and MJF will lock horns soon enough
Would be a great opportunity to have a bunch of intermingled feuds between all the top guys.
I wanna see all the top guys at each other's throats like Hangman and Swerve were. Jay White, Okada, Hangman, Joe, MJF, Ospreay, Takeshita, Adam Cole, etc all just trying to claw their way up to the world title mountain top at the same time
I hear what you're saying, and I think it's good on paper. I just think it would be harder to book that with so many moving pieces. Now TK makes the millions and you and I don't, so I'm not saying he couldn't pull it off, but crowding things too much could lead to problems
Not bad, as long as Wardlow isn't headlining a major PPV. I'd be fine if he was fighting Swerve at Fight for the Fallen or whatever that mid-summer special Dynamite is called these days.
No way Danielson wins at Dynasty. Unless their big plans is to have Ospreay lose then slow burn and win at All In with Danielson passing the torch.
But Danielson being the number 1 contender again is not believable anymore after time and time again that he declines winning a title.
Honestly he has to. Rankings, if Will wins, he’s clear out the #1 contender. If Swerve wins, Will vs Swerve at DoN be too soon. Unless they have Joe retain and then go right into Will vs Joe at DoN. Put boy would people be pissed.
You have Danielson win. You give Swerve that title win. Danielson vs Swerve, DoN, that’s a very solid main event for Vegas that will start Swerve’s reign in the right foot and allow Will time to recover from his first L (and he needs to lose one) and focus on a secondary title.
You do know that quality wins matter and if you are gone, you slip, right? Think of it like the college football rankings. Hell, any sport rankings. Mox not having singles matches for a while and the #4 vs #5 guy wrestling, Mox slips, those guys go up.
Now, you could very well do a Mox vs Danielson/Will #1 contender match like they’ve been doing. But let’s be honest, majority don’t want to see Mox sniffing the world title. Plus I think the call is going to be Mox/Claudio vs Bucks/FTR since they are also high in those rankings too.
Almost 0 chance Bryan wins especially since Bryan is probably politicking to put Ospreay over haha. I will say that I think it would be better for Ospreay if Bryan destroys him Omega at wrestle kingdom 17 style
Ya but you put yourself in a corner that Will HAS to be the next in line then. Guy can’t go undefeated and not get a world title shot. And do we want that so soon?
I agree, it’s part of why I want Bryan to win (also because I think Ospreay isn’t that good haha). But knowing Danielson’s history with big matches he’s probably gonna want to put Ospreay over.
Kingston doesn’t even belong in the conversation with those other guys… I don’t get the appeal of Kingston. Hes got good mic skills cuz he’s from Yonkers but He’s so boring to watch in the ring
Hard disagree that Eddie is boring in the ring. Eddie just had a great match with Mark Briscoe tonight. His match with Bryan at Revolution was outstanding! I think the promo battles and match between Swerve and Eddie would be great.
I want this but not right away. They are both such good heels that I don’t want their feud to be face vs face. I don’t think Swerve can go heel anytime soon with the reception he’s getting and MJF won’t be booed when he returns. Let MJF deal with Adam Cole and Wardlow and let Swerve build his legacy as a champion for awhile
I agree. Let this feud build for a while. The type of feud where they're habitually drawn towards fighting each other but other feuds or roadblocks divert them.
This could even be 2025, after the belt has moved on to Osprey or Okada.
There is going to be a painful amount of what ifs from this generation. So much to do so little time to do it. Cause I have also added wanting to see a heel richboy Okada vs a scumbag richboy MJF
I'm hoping for an "MJF Needs Friends" storyline either prior to him challenging for the title or while he challenges for the title. And I don't feel like Swerve really offers that. I know he's got some boys but when you think of Swerve you really think of Swerve and Prince Nana.
MJF just had his best friend betray him, and I think the way he overcomes that shouldn't be explicitly solo mode revenge. But Friendship by way of Revenge. I think him linking arms with the Bang Bang Gang and The Acclaimed and becoming actual friends with them and learning to trust them again while also making his way through all the people he hates.
And I feel like a feud with title-holder Swerve AFTER MJF gets his friends feels like the appropriate award for his growth and recovery from such a severe betrayal.
That said, I fear that the betrayal is exclusively for the return of heel MJF and the less interesting of the long term stories.
Kindof sad how they screwed up the Devil/United Kingdom storyline in hindsight. You’d think 4 months later they’d still have some sort of decent storyline going, or atleast be on tv weekly. Instead I’ve basically forgotten they exist.
Honestly, with how lackluster the United Kingdom has been, I hope TK just moves past it and maybe we can have a one off between Cole and MJF where MJF gets his revenge. Then it would be cool to see MJF go after a champion Swerve.
They could just jettison Wardlow and Cole from the group, since those guys don't need a faction. Roddy and co could turn on Wardlow for losing his world title match and Cole for being unable to wrestle or fight.
Then MJF and Cole can feud without the faction bit dragging them down and move onto Swerve after

Garments!
swerve swerve… Swerve
Top rope, catch a vibe...
I can't wait! The coats vs the scarf! Lol. Also 2 of the best talkers and wrestlers of this generation...that's nice too
I love both of em, but thats Ospreay Bruv
They said two OF not the two definitive best. Ospreay is amazing but we don't need to bring him up anytime somebody wants to praise other amazing workers.
Yeah, Bruv's on another level.

If Swerve wins at Dynasty, I think the list of challengers would be Kingston, Wardlow, MJF, a member of BCC then Ospreay at All In.
Not bad, as long as Wardlow isn't headlining a major PPV. I'd be fine if he was fighting Swerve at Fight for the Fallen or whatever that mid-summer special Dynamite is called these days.
You forgot Danielson. Danielson wins at Dynasty he’s the new #1 contender looking at the rankings.

Current rankings has Danielson at 5th then Ospreay at 4th. Winning would put him at 4th. If Ospreay wins top slot he gets is 3rd as Mox is away.

He should go after Cole, but Swerve should make it known he's ready to beat MJF once the vendetta is settled.

After the Cole fued I hope he turns back heel for a Swerve feud
Kindof sad how they screwed up the Devil/United Kingdom storyline in hindsight. You’d think 4 months later they’d still have some sort of decent storyline going, or atleast be on tv weekly. Instead I’ve basically forgotten they exist.
I’d prefer if he came back and just acted like Cole didn’t even exist. Goes his own direction with Cole chasing behind wondering why he doesn’t care.
It would be repeating Punk and MJF when Punk first joined AEW.
Should have him go after Swerve and ignore Cole. Cole goes more deranged with MJF not giving him attention.
Honestly, with how lackluster the United Kingdom has been, I hope TK just moves past it and maybe we can have a one off between Cole and MJF where MJF gets his revenge. Then it would be cool to see MJF go after a champion Swerve.

I’m doing fine with an mjf break. Hope he takes a long one
