Obviously since the Elite wanna be booked as faces you would go...oh ...list Kenny Omega here. I would but he seems to be booking himself into this 6 man deal only. Which really...right now doesn't help AEW.
Because as much as the guys are political players and clearly run things...Omega is more needed in singles. To give MJF a good program.
No idea if we will see that. But yeah...Omega vs MJF would work. I don't know if they have ever ran that in AEW before or not.

MJF's media scrum was one where he literally referenced Punk , Chris Jericho and at the end Jim Cornette in his promo.

Well let's examine this. Do Hobbs , FTR and Darby have the same position of power MJF has in AEW right now ?
....
They don't....MJF is untouchable as we see. He can tick them off referencing Punk in promos and onscreen...and they can't touch him. He's their best young home grown star right now. No one is close yet. Wardlow could do it at some point ahead but for now as MJF said...the company is MJF lol

hobbs(didn't know he and punk pals) is getting as much of a push now as he ever has in his career. ftr is booked as strong or stronger than the actual tag champs and darby(didn't know he and punk were pals either)ALWAYS has a storyline going.
nobody is untouchable, not even punk their mega huge top draw. mjf is on top because they put him there. he's been a featured guy from the start.
Darby is really gone nowhere with Sting. Basically for 2 years him and Sting have teamed and its...heels show up . Beat up Darby. Sting saves Darby. Tag team feud...repeat.
Hobbs just saw his big mid card title push go to Samoa Joe. So there that goes lol.
FTR literally told Tony Khan to book them on TV weeks ago. So again...this is good?

darby had a really good mid-card title run as well but you illustrated my point, punk is a non-factor in darby's push and direction. same before punk, same after.
hobbs looked great in that match, again he's getting as big a push as he's ever gotten despite being punk's brother from another mother.Hobbs just saw his big mid card title push go to Samoa Joe. So there that goes lol.
really ftr should be putting over the acclaimed anyways but they'll probably complain if that happens too. so yeah it's good as far as i'm concerned, the home grown acclaimed is over like rover.FTR literally told Tony Khan to book them on TV weeks ago. So again...this is good?
Your right in a way....in 2021 Darby began teaming with Sting months before Punk arrived. Then after Darby's biggest match he had in AEW ...what happened ? It was basically...time to put you back with Sting and do a never ending tag team deal. That has the same repeated story beats for months on end. It possibly led to Black getting irked at how Sting & Darby feuded forever with them comically.
And if anyone thinks I'm blasting Sting here...I'm not. Sting when he 1st came in seemed to hint this was supposed to be a Dusty Rhodes deal with him back in late 1980's. Dusty gave him a bit of the rub being the older big star and it didn't run 2+ years. It was a nice deal and ended. Plus with Sting , him being a LEGEND ...he should be a special attraction. His matches should be few...should be Goldberg in a way. Where he shows up on 2 PPV's possibly and works a year.
Right now after one of Darby's biggest matches he's ever had in AEW ...he's been stuck in this.
And what of this push that seemed to end with Samoa Joe winning and starting something with Wardlow as we saw ? Pushes usually involve a follow through. Not ...ok he got a push , see ...and it ended out of nowhere. There was no follow through here. Unless Hobbs jumps Joe on Dynamite to get revenge...then he seems the odd man out in the entire situation.
hobbs looked great in that match, again he's getting as big a push as he's ever gotten despite being punk's brother from another mother.
So yeah this ones a D- grade. A push began for Hobbs , he suddenly got put to sideline one week for Samoa Joe vs Wardlow and I have to wonder if he'll ever be a part of this angle going forward or anything.
Has FTR ever complained about putting people over ? I haven't really followed that. But these damn aholes , these pieces of sh-t want to work on TV actually... f-ck em ! Lol.
really ftr should be putting over the acclaimed anyways but they'll probably complain if that happens too. so yeah it's good as far as i'm concerned, the home grown acclaimed is over like rover.
In all you basically can go , Darby had a nice push before Sting , then after his biggest match ever...did nothing after beyond tag team deal. Then we had Hobbs who started a push and...well we don't know if he's gonna follow through on it or if its over yet.

- In all Tony Khan needs someone experienced with booking to help him. Its an old complaint I have said for months.

so then we agree that has fuk all to do with being friends with punk or the elite
have they put anybody over?? that doesn't mean have they done a job, but have they put anybody over?? the fact that they're in position to truly put over the tag champs is proof they've been booked well enough.Has FTR ever complained about putting people over ? I haven't really followed that. But these damn aholes , these pieces of sh-t want to work on TV actually... f-ck em ! Lol.

btw i think the key word in there is "someone" and not "anyone". there's lots of carny jackoffs with xperience that need to stick to podcasting.

None of them need to.
If the guy has right around "Jack..." to do now that he does have the title?
That he won the title won't amount to much.
While there are some possibilities built into what they have done leading up to this win?
It would be in the best interest of the company to have some other plans as far as the "Title..." picture goes.
Full Gear was a really entertaining PPV. Man, I'm so happy I accidentally found AEW on TV at the start of the pandemic. I think it was Cody on the mic telling people they'll do their damnedest to entertain us during that scary time. I was like "Huh. THAT'S cool. Ok, I'll watch". They I was so happy to see a pro wrestling show that was entertaining, fun, lots of action, new names I never heard of. And a few years later, I'm still appreciative and enjoying the heck out of it.
Hey SUPERECWFAN1...in an recent post you mentioned the idea of Regal helping MJF and screwing Moxley. Did it leak out somewhere ahead of time that this was going to happen?
I don't know if it was a leak more than us here and fans all over knowing pro wrestling 101 that with how Regal and Max interacted weeks ago on TV that he was gonna help him. Everywhere you went it was predicted he'd turn on Mox and help MJF.
So I don't think it was a leak. Just how telegraphed it was on TV we saw weeks ago in that promo Regal and Max cut.
