I agree with Landon that Hangman is kinda cold for me, not from a match standpoint but he's the world champ and story wise never feels like that big a deal to me. Focus has been on MJF, Punk, Bryan, and Mox. MJF imo should win at Revo and be next champ at DoN. If not. Time for Mox 2nd reign with fans.
Is that due to the us being so conditioned to the WWE model for the past 4 decades where the biggest stories go through the title? Ideally, the championship should be enough of a draw on it's on. Yes, there should be some build, but if you gotta hype the match beyond the title to draw, the title means nothing. I like that the great stories are used to build up the undercard.
*The WWE model where the only story goes through the title and everything else is a Chinese fire drill of poorly thrown together tag team matches and awful scripted promos*
flipping through the channels and got major proud boy & skinhead vibes from that manager/wrestler combo.
Speaking of Nazi’s, EC3 and Braun Strowman have a big time MAGA promotion called Control Your Narrative. They are also selling spices and shit. It’s gross and clearly trying to appeal to the Rogan/Clay Travis bros. Anyway, EC3 did an interview today where he made an 88% Nazi reference as a “joke”. Just a complete embarrassment.
Even if it's just an archive of past AEW shows and PPVs, that's a pretty big win for those who already have HBO Max. If it's adding in live PPVs as well, hoo boy, that would be nice.
I would be stoked for them to put PPVs and archives on HBO max. I’ve already got it for movies and shit but with the US national team going there that would be awesome to be able to see aew PPVs there too.
I mean, I've thought about it. Could see it happening. The news tonight seems pretty big. Hbomax already is huge. But add in roh and damn. No wonder TK getting on cam tonight.
HOw long until Marty Scurll is in this dumbass Control Your Narrative promotion that EC3 and Braun Strowman started up?
I bet it's really got to piss off Vince too. Here comes this company that's not even three whole years old yet and they get on HBO Max with nearly 75 million paying subscribers and all WWE has is Peacock with just 9 million paid subscribers.
lol imagine if the whole Cody/ROH thing was true? People would lose their damn minds over it. Vince's response would be to have a game of Twister to open RAW or some dumb shit like that.
Actually, zeberdee has takes worse than Vince's Royal Rumble booking. Spoiler I kid, that's damn near humanly impossible
Having a huge roster makes more sense now that Tony owns ROH, presuming he keeps it alive as a touring company. That tape library is fucking huge for them if they want to have a streaming service.
Will be very curious how they integrate the ROH brand into it. Seems like they could rebrand both dark shows under that umbrella.
The release reads to me like he will run ROH events from time to time but it won’t be a touring company.
