Yeah that I'm not sure. I know different injuries but Bryan did it so here's to hoping Saraya can

If not, maybe a manager for a stable? But I can't see anyone similar to Mandy or Sonya to work with Saraya

I doubt they're paying her and having her make a big entrance just to be a manager

I didn't think it was that poor. Maybe choppy at moments? She took a moment here or there to gather herself, but I mean it wasn't that bad. Regardless I thought it was great to see the women get such a long in ring segment and then to have a bunch of them on TV in the lumberjack match. Which was solid in itself. I really like Deeb in ring though.

Paige is seen well in the lense of nastalgia. She was the first kind of new ages lady wrestler to pop up other than AJ. She always had some issues on the mike and her in ring work was never really up to Sasha, CF, Haley, levels of work. She's a name and it's not gonna go great for her I just am gonna hate to see her get hurt.

Nikki was underrated in that time period imo which allows Paige to do some pretty simple babyface stuff. Basically Mandy/face Cora 1.0.

Aew has 2 things going for them right now with the acclaimed with Max Caster rapping like early 2000s Cena and his partner making facial expressions like late 90s Buff Bagwell. As well as MJF and his entertainment on the mic.

It is funny think about how impressed we all were at the most average women's matches in WWE.

To our credit, I think we all viewed it as encouraging rather than good.

Damn, Hangman fired up. Him and Mox gonna put on a banger next week. Love to see it too, all this Punk nonsense really took some of the wind out of his sails but I’m happy to see him take it back.

lmao Jericho trolling the crowd with Judas

They really putting on a show for the debut in Canada, lucky crowd. Pissed I couldn’t make it lol

Good update at least. Concussion is of course not good, but much better than a possible neck injury.

I think Mox did a good job at the end there. They had to improvise at least 5 minutes there and he did a good off the cuff promo. Not to mention he did this with what just happened with Hangman. He's a pro.

Lord Eder · Post #35 » by **Lord Eder** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 2:11 pm

If Mox has shown anything these past few months it’s that he’s a pro.

The MJF, Regal, Mox stuff was gold. These guys are stars and made this show must watch. It’s just such a shame about Hangman, really put a cloud over what otherwise was a great show.

I hate to say ‘glad it’s just a concussion’ because that stuff is nothing to mess around with but as mentioned above at least it’s not some neck/spine issue where he can’t walk. The way he landed was ugly. Props to the ref and medical staff.

Hangman is a star and he’s got so much of his career ahead of him. Obviously as a fan I want to see him back in the ring a soon as possible, but first and foremost is the man’s health and well-being.

I’m also curious to see how this MJF stuff plays out at Full Gear. Does he win it clean and get the crowd on his side and go on a run as baby face champ? Or does he still weasel his way to get the belt and continue as a top heel.

I suppose either way, even if he wins clean he can go full insufferable heel, it just feels like he’s on the brink of a character change and will have the crowd behind him if he does it the right way.

Not sure if he's versatile enough to get over as a face

I can't believe that dude Dalton Castle is married to a woman in real life.

I liked his gimmick and match.

You don’t think so? I thought he showed potential during the Punk feud when he got sympathy from the crowd. Then he also did the whole white meat thing in Buffalo after All Out.

Both times were a swerve, but I thought he showed his ability. If anyone can control a crowd, it’s him.

That said, I’m not sure they make the turn. If not for the simple fact that AEW is basically all baby faces at the top.

My hope is he tries to win it clean, but there's a ref bump near the end of the match which leads Regal to come out with the brass knuckles. Regal turns around and hits Mox and ends up aligning with MJF as MJF wins the title.

There absolutely needs to be more MJF/Regal interactions going forward because they've all been gold so far.
