TK needs to stop screwing around and introduce trios titles. They have so many groups, and it would help bring some focus to these storylines
He has been like that ever since they started using him with the elite.l and it's quite annoying lol. He seems to not have a great grasp of when to speak and when not to and always seems to be distracting from someone else as he just keeps going on lol.Was howling at Bobby Fish and his constant yelling back at Page during his promo. That should be his gimmick moving forward, just the dude who always has to get the last word.
I also love Alex A. but he looked corny as hell last night 😂
We are getting to the point with the amount of talent available TK is gonna have to start actually booking Elevation or Dark with storylines to bring more focus to the wider roster.
3 hours of TV really isn't enough anymore.
Really? If Cody was still in AEW, he'd be part of that random ass six man tag announced for the PPV (it would instead be a 4 on 4 with Cody and Quen being added).Gonna be really interested to see how they build to DoN. With all the talent they have, plus at least four or five (?) more new people coming between now and then, AND maybe a returning Kenny, I don't envy Tony having to balance all of this.
The top programs are mostly hitting right now, especially Mox/Danielson, Punk/MJF, and Jericho/Kingston, but there is a lack of focus in the mid-card, and, unlike last week, I did feel the lack of Cody on last night's show.
I'm also ready to say the HoB just isn't working because of the aforementioned lack of focus. They need a mission statement beyond "We want to give the audience the chaos and violence they crave" or whatever it is.
P A Z Your thoughts and feelings about last night's show mirror around 95% of my own. What did you think of the Hangman promo?
Purely for entertainment I enjoyed it more than last weeks segment between the two. Did it make me want to see the match more? No. I know the match will be great regardless but this didn't really do anything to make me wanna see it more.Gonna be really interested to see how they build to DoN.

This moment really spoke to me. I absolutely would've traded some of the promo/sports entertainment stuff tonight for a Stat/Willow match.+ Eddie asking why they're doing sports entertainment shit when this is a wrestling show and you could be doing Statlander vs Willow Nightingale.
I just don't get what they're doing with it. They've kind of just relegated that story to Dark/Elevation but it's moving at a snail's pace. Is she going to have the eye patch forever or is there some evolution/progression coming? We're waiting, TK...Listen, I'm just bitter that they hinted at Julia Black Hart and they haven't delivered on it.
They absolutely need to be putting more effort into Dark/Elevation. They occasionally have storylines (like Janela/Kiss) and, lately, they're having more promos but it isn't enough. They need to lengthen the shows a bit (get to 3 hours total between Dark and Elevation) and reduce the amount of squashes of new talent.We are getting to the point with the amount of talent available TK is gonna have to start actually booking Elevation or Dark with storylines to bring more focus to the wider roster.

100% agree about Cole. He's flopped pretty hard for me since joining AEW because he's just booked in such a weird fashion. I don't take him seriously. I view him more of a jokester (via BTE and the AEW Gaming channel) and not someone that actually is a match for Hangman.Long rant about my feelings on Adam Cole, his booking and the world title program.
Final thoughts….Britt Baker vs Thunder Rosa should main event Revolution.[/ISPOILER]
I think Britt vs. Rosa is gonna be there come PPV time, contract signing allows for Britt to shine on the mic, bring up their past, Rosa mic time, a big old fight and Rosa taking out Britt's backup. You can do a lot with it if you want to.Don't think it's controversial to say that every title program going into Revolution feels below Mox/Danielson, Punk/MJF, and Kingston/Jericho. I'm still happy we have 3 incredibly hot matches going into the show right now, and it's not to say that Rosa vs. Britt and Hangman vs. Cole won't get there. They've got 3 TV episodes to make it happen.
Hook always has his hand in a bag of chips. Carbs fear him.Btw, good sign idea or bad sign idea?
HOOK FEARS CARBS
Figure it's more complimentary than anything. Have to ask because I've been disappointed in the amount of outright crappy or low effort signs. That "Bullshit Club > Bullet Club" sign last night got a visceral reaction from me for how unfunny, lazy, and detrimental to the show's presentation it was. You're not adding anything to the show, so leave that garbage at home.
I know we've talked about the increase in asshole fans at these shows, and that's probably bound to happen with an increase in popularity, but it's still annoying to see.
Yeah - and honestly, the entire story so far here has been Britt completely avoiding Rosa for her whole reign. Have some good promos & a brawl on Rampage. Have Britt/Jamie vs. Rosa/Mercedes on Dynamite next week. They have plenty of history, they can heat this feud RIGHT up.I think Britt vs. Rosa is gonna be there come PPV time, contract signing allows for Britt to shine on the mic, bring up their past, Rosa mic time, a big old fight and Rosa taking out Britt's backup.

Long rant about my feelings on Adam Cole, his booking and the world title program.
When people first started talking about Cole coming to AEW, I said that AEW isn't NXT and he won't stand out as much in AEW because the standards and talent level are higher in AEW than NXT. In NXT he was a big fish in a small pond, in AEW I thought he would be closer to just been another guy on the roster. He won't be the AEW World champion but he'll be a guy that will make TK's handpicked guy of the time look great because Cole is a fantastic in-ring guy and a solid promo.
And this is where it ties together, while some people think Cole is AEW world champion material, I think TK feels like I do about Cole and that's what we're seeing with how this Hangman program has played out. Its been haphazardly thrown together, it feels rushed, left way too late to feel like a natural coming together, there's no real story behind it other than they knew each other back in the day, there's no real heat to it, they're repeating stuff done before like beating Dark Order guys.
Does Cole feel like a PPV challenger?
He feels like another TV challenger to me, a momentary distraction before the next real challenge which I'm guessing is Punk @ Double or Nothing.
Listen…..putting on constantly great matches is one thing but Cole has not been treated like a big threat. The man has had to cheat like 4x to beat Orange Cassidy. Orange Cassidy. Contrary to what others think, I don't think the Light's Out loss hurt Cole that much, he was already struggling to beat a midcarder for weeks on end before that, so why would I suddenly buy he can beat a guy that beat Omega and is unbeaten against Danielson.
Just because I don't think as much of Cole as others though, doesn't excuse this world title program, even if TK feels Cole isn't all that, he has lots of fans that think he is and he should be booked that way for them. For me he hasn't been and if the challenger is presented no good then it does nothing for the champion.
Final thoughts….Britt Baker vs Thunder Rosa should main event Revolution.
Please, it's Order Oscuro.
Lol I had him on my mind and his cool entrance.
Would be funny if his contract does expires and he still shows up to work like his option was picked up. Just go full George at work.AEW picked up Cage's contract for an additional year, supposedly, though SRS says "at least if he's to be believed."
With same gear and neck tattoo.Brian Cage should come back with a new gimmick where he believes he's Cody Rhodes and everyone just goes along with it.
Dog Collar match should be very brutal.Im so excited to watch revolution live next week. My friends and I are driving up and staying with some friends. There's no hardcore matches announced but I feel like every match is going to be a blood bath, especially mox and Bryan.
